Since religious assertions are not objective items but subjective persuasions, nobody should swallow them uncritically. On the other hand it it not wise to reject them out of hand, either.
In the New Testament the principles are: "believe not every spirit". Test them to see if they are of God. Only when they are proved genuine should you take them seriously.
Therefore no one should simply take my word for it that I have had some communication from the Lord, misled people with strongly held and wrongly held religious convictions are two-a-penny. In fact, you have no proof that any of this ever happened. I could be simply inflating my own feeling of self-importance.
Keep an open mind: "you shall know them by their fruits".
