Take heed what you hear and how you hear. Actions, decisions and assigned responsibilities are based on what and how you hear.

Establish
Confirm with evidence that it is the speaking of God.

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:19‭-‬22 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/1th.5.19-22.NIV

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1 NIV
https://1john.bible/1-john-4-1

Arrange
Have the correct sequence of the Word of God.
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Mark 8:34 NIV
https://mark.bible/mark-8-34

Release
Rehearse, recite, declare the speaking of God for realization.

You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.
Job 22:28 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/job.22.28.NKJV


“The Lord God has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned. The Lord God has opened My ear; And I was not rebellious, Nor did I turn away.
Isaiah 50:4‭-‬5 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.50.4-5.NKJV

Not all things you hear are to be said everywhere.

Integrate 
Incorporate other words spoken by God on the same matter.
Words are not spoken in isolation.
You cannot violate one command in breaking another.

Note
Monitor the fulfillment of the word.

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.

Habakkuk 2:3 NIV

Ground
Embed and live out the word. Become the prophecy.

Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.

https://bible.com/bible/111/1ti.1.18-19.NIV

Prophecy is determining status and action.

https://bible.com/bible/111/php.2.12-13.NIV
