Intuiting something that sounds good and true, then promptly setting out to teach it to others, is using God's gift for ego building.
I found a note I'd written to me some years back: When our need is greatest, our Father is nearest. This has proved to be true to me. However, I had no idea at first how or if it would prove itself, and I found that the proof gets borne out by our living, breathing, walking but not talking it...until it matures within us.
It seems my understanding is becoming clearer and deeper that silent acceptance is the way to ownership of God's secrets.
When we talk too soon, before we own it, the reasoning mind is the self-appointed interpreter which invariably waters down the meaning. The reasoning mind will hone it to reflect the security in self...then only the words remain. There is very little...if any...of God in the spoken word alone.
To remember: God knows how to make himself clear. Our life lesson is to move back...to let go. Ah, to silently praise his holy Being.
Thank you.
