Why Are English Interpretations in King James?

By Ken Row
Here's a topic for discussion (meaning I don't know the answer)...

Why is it that many prophecies and interpretations are given in King James English? E.g. "Thus saith the Lord, I am the God that healeth thee".

God doesn't use KJV when He talks to me directly. It's usually short bursts of contemporary English ("Sit down", "Look in the cabinet", "Pray for ____", "Tell him I heard his prayer").

I'm curious...

For those of you who have interpreted messages, do the messages "come in" as KJV, or do they come in as general concepts which you then speak as KJV?

If interpretations are always delivered verbatim (i.e. both received and delivered in KJV or in contemporary speech), have any of you ever seen God speak both ways -- that is, with KJV in some circumstances and contemporary English in others?
