    > “I was shown that many who profess to believe the truth are not sanctified through it, and they need plain, straight testimony.”

    📌 PRACTICAL SUMMARY TABLE
    
    Category	Approx. %
    
    Direct rebuke / straight testimony	15–20%
    Rebuke + warning + correction	25–30%
    Instruction, encouragement, gospel, narrative	70–75%
    
    🕊️ Final Thought
    
    If even 15–20% of a prophet’s writings are direct rebuke, that is already extraordinary
