I will rapidly respond to God’s promptings, no matter what.
A prompting is an inner urging or an inner conviction to do or to say something that can only be attributed to the Holy Spirit in your life.
Dallas Willard
"The still, small voice — those inner promptings — is still the preferred and most valuable form of individualized communication for God’s purposes."
"The still, small voice — those inner promptings — is still the preferred and most valuable form of individualized communication for God’s purposes."
Is the prompting from God?
First, make sure that your prompting is in agreement with the overall teachings of Scripture, and with basic biblical themes.
Second, does the prompting you’re receiving agree with the character and the nature of God?
And third, does it agree with your conscience?

I will remember that I serve the God of the second chance.
