God said, I will not do anything unless I first reveal it to my servants, the prophets. God is saying to us that anything that He does which is not reserved to Himself, He will reveal to one of His. Under the Law of Notice and Warning, Our God, Our Heavenly Father, has committed Himself to not allow His children to be caught by surprise.

We learn to listen to His warnings or we choose not to.  As we grow as Christians, we can learn to listen and heed His warnings.  If you look or even think back at circumstances, you can remember times when if you had just listened to that little voice inside, you would have avoided an unpleasant or harmful situation.
