“So then faith comes by hearing,and hearing by the word of God”(Roman 10:17-NKJV)
The Holy BIBLE therein is written by men of God who were inspired by the Holy Ghost to write the scriptures .Many of such scriptures are also God’s word of prophecy being spoken by many Prophets and Apostles of the Old Testament and the New Testament.Howbeit, all prophetic words and inspired scriptures were written and spoken under the unction and anointing of the Holy Spirit.This simply means that the Author of the Bible is the Holy Ghost and not of men.You will see that the Lord Jesus was born of the Holy Ghost (Luke 1 :35),Filled with the Holy Spirit(Luke 4:1),led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the Devil(Luke 4:1b-2) and anointed by the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom (Luke 4:18).Even after Christ’s resurrection ,the scripture keep on saying that :”Until the day He was taken up,after He through the HOLY SPIRIT HAD GIVEN COMMANDMENTS to the apostles whom He had chosen” (Acts 1:2 -NKJV)
And so, all the apostles and prophets are led,inspired and moved by the Holy Ghost to prophecy and write scriptures though it may seem to be just a letter address to the saints of that day,BUT it is still relevance until today.It is God who inspires the prophets and apostles to write many letters in the New Testament.The Holy Spirit moved upon and within their spirit and they will then write or speak by the power of the Holy Spirit.
On prophecy,Peter write :”Knowing this first,that no prophecy if scripture is of any private interpretation,for prophecy never came by the will of man,but holy men of God,spoke as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT“(2 Peter 1:20-12-NKJV)
On scripture,apostle Paul also write :” All Scripture,is given by INSPIRATION of God,and profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteousness,that the man of God may be complete,thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17
Therefore,If we want to study the Scripture,we must have such a humble a clean heart before Him.Our soul and spirit must be in the utmost reverence fear before God as we open our heart to embrace the Holy Scripture Only then the Holy Spirit will begin to open our mind to understanding the revelation of God’s word .The Spirit of the Lord love to teach us so that we may know the mind and purpose of God the Father.We will then need to embrace it,accept it and renew our mind to obey God’s word.God’s Holy Word is given to be obeyed and thus we shall prosper in all that we do in accordance to His Holy word (Psalm 1:2-3).The Holy Spirit is a great Teacher and we need to sit under His feet and learn to medidate the Father’s laws/ commandments.
“But his delight is in the law of the LORD,And in His law he meditates day and night..” (Psalms 1:2-NKJV).Christ’s commandments is God’s law of today.We need to teach our-self to observe Christ’s commandments and to place His word so close to the very cord of our heart, for this is the will of the Lord:“teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you..”(Matthew 28;20- NKJV)
A few days ago one Indonesian minister gave me rather a very negative comments to all my facebook postings saying that I am wrong and my teachings are not of God and to the extreme that he even uses bible verses telling everybody that all the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit only happened in the time of the New Testament Apostles and not for today.He then tries to go againts all my posting in the facebook group.As I prayed for him,the Lord revealed to me that he is under the influence of a ”religious spirit “that is the spirit of error because he twisted all the scriptures and interpret such bible verses which is so erroneous.I warned him that either I have the Holy Spirit who inspired me to write or post and he is influence by the spirit of error OR that he has the Holy Spirit and that I have a spirit of error!.
I even warned how dangerous it is to simply interpret any scripture without the wisdom and knowledge of the Holy Spirit because the author of God’s infallible word in the scripture is the Holy Spirit Himself.Trying to interpret using their own “head knowledge”will result to the destruction of their own faith to Christ.There are many teaching in the epistles(Letters) of Paul the apostle that are very profound and deep.Only those who are filled with Holy Spirit,anointed and led by Him will be able to receive such revelation and true understanding of the Scripture.
Jesus Said :“But the Helper,the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in My name,HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26-NKJV)
Jesus Further said :” However,whe He,the Spirit truth,has come,He will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH,for He will not speak on His own authority,but whatever He hears He will speak;and He will tell you things to come…”(John 16:13-NKJV)
Indeed,the Holy Ghost come to teach God’s word,then He will guide and lead us to such biblical TRUTH.Peter the apostle wrote this word :“- as also our beloved brother Paul,according to the wisdom given to him,has written to you,as also in all his epistle,speaking in them of these things,in which are some things hard to understand,which untaught and unstable people twist to their OWN DESTRUCTION ,as they do also the rest of the scripture.”(2 Peter 3:15a-16-NKJV)
I am so concern by many saints and pastors who uses the scripture,even Paul’s teaching from his letters and began to simply teach without a clear understanding and interpretation.Their teaching is so twisted and instead of bringing revelation,comfort and encouragement,their faith are destroyed.I am not surprise if many are teaching a wrong doctrine today,though they use the Bible.Their teaching are just “head knowledge”and you cannot experience the tangible anointing and the presence Holy Ghost therein.Their doctrines are dead and dry .There is no”life” to it and even bring condemnation to the very conscience of many hearts.
Each time I read the Bible,I trembled with reverence fear before the Lord,because the Holy Spirit within me ,moved upon my innermost soul and spirit to be aware that I am reading God’s inspired word.Many time,I would be in tears while reading the bible as my emotion is just engulfed by the very presence of the Spirit as He began to teach me the Scripture.I spend hours and hours to study the scripture,looking at every angle,every precept and every meaning and interpretation in which my mind can comprehend. You will find me using the King James Version,The New King James version,The Amplified bible version,the Greek Bible and even the Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible as my tools to search and study the scripture.I am a passionate Bible student,believe me!
I will be reading my Bible almost the whole day and night, meditating it,praying and pleading the Lord to make me understand the mysteries and the knowledge of His word.And so,after gaining such divine interpretation from the Holy Spirit,I will then Penn it down,either in my Books,in my website,blog, Facebook and even in my audio- vedio teaching.I make sure,that the Holy Spirit inspires me to write and speak God’s word. I know that the Lord has given me a certain measure of faith to expound and teach the Holy Scripture.I will then pray that God will use my writings and teachings to speak and inspires all my readers around the world.I may not have a sound deep knowledge because I never graduated from any Theological Bible school.I write and teach because the Holy Spirit moved within me to inspire me to write such writ from the Bible.God’s saints today need to be taught a good sound doctrine of Christ for :”whoever transgresses and does not abide in the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST does not have God.He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son”(2 John 1:9 -NKJV)
Indeed the writer of the book of Hebrew said : “For the word of God is living and powerfull,and sharper than any two- edge sword,piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow,and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrew 4:12)
AND so,I will say this as liken unto Paul saying it that not only :“I think I also have the Holy Spirit of God “(1 Corinthians 7:40b-NKJV) BUT AND I BELIEVE that I have the Holy Spirit of God in me!(1 Corinthians 6:19)
