         You say, "I cannot even hear Your voice! I have no connection with You whereby I can hear You speak to my heart in the beautiful and flowing words which others receive. For there is none to hear, no, not one. Therefore I will never be able to go on, to go forward.
         "In this day of much prophecy and hearing from Heaven, I have been left out in the cold. For I hear not Your voice, and therefore I am not able to receive the warmth which it provides. I can only obtain warmth through others and through that which I read, for which I am thankful. But in my day-to-day life, I can only warm myself by visiting someone else's fire and through their kindly lending me a space next to their furnace.
         "But I have none of my own. I have no personal fire, no personal heat, no personal way of receiving heat. When I shall find myself alone and without company, then what am I to do? I will freeze and will fall by the way, for I have neither the fire to warm me, nor the light from the blaze to shine upon my path and to guide my way."
         Child, child, My heart breaks and the tears well up within My eyes when I hear your heartcry. You say you have not the gift of prophecy which you so desire, and which you feel you need so desperately to lead and guide you in these days. My dear one, you have but to open your lid and to receive My Spirit in full measure. Open your heart to My Spirit and determine to drink in and to imbibe My waters of rain which I would love to pour down upon you. I desire to give you every gift that your heart asks for. I desire to speak in your ear, and to give you a direct link to My throne, that you may hear My voice soothing your fears, calming your spirit, and directing you through every step of your day. This I can do for you, if you will but open your lid and let My rain fill your vessel.
         I love you dearly, and I wish to give you the gift of My Words, of hearing My voice--of prophecy. Will you take it? Will you receive it? I will put it even now in your soul, in your heart, in your spirit. You have but to prime the pump, to kindle the fire, to fan the ember, to strengthen your faith needed to bring the water out of the well, to pump in the power of My Spirit, and you shall gush forth in great abundance.
         Come to Me in faith and in prayer, for I will give this gift to you. Listen quietly and see if you do not hear My voice speaking softly and quietly to your heart. It will grow clearer, it will grow louder, it will grow more definite and defined as your faith grows.
         But doubt not that it is Me speaking, for I have said that I will speak to you, and I shall. You must build a foundation of faith, and take care that you do not tear down your foundation through unbelief, and through thinking that you are too young, too inexperienced, too unworthy to hear My voice. I wish to speak to you, and I wish to give you the desires and requests of your heart. Faith is the key. Come before Me and persevere. Do not give up, for this gift shall be yours. Continue on until you hear My voice, until you receive My Words, My love, My seeds.
