When God gives a word to you, write it down somewhere.

Main message: God wants to speak personally and powerfully to each of us, but those words only bear fruit if we deliberately receive, record, and internalize them.

Key points:

• God can speak to you anywhere—hospital, car, treadmill—but you must pay attention.
• Make time to get alone with Jesus so He can speak into your specific life issues.
• When God gives a word, write it down and put it in your heart; don't let it be forgotten.
• Continually "water" and process the words you hear instead of merely attending services and forgetting.
• Personal revelation from Jesus can guide areas (parenting, addiction, etc.) beyond what books or counseling alone provide.
