The Place of the Written Word

Reconsidering the Place of the Written Word!

[My Offline Bible] 2 Timothy 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

[My Offline Bible] 2 Corinthians 11
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

I fear!
Why?
The message of Christ is being made ambiguous by not giving the scriptures the authority it should have and we seem to be bearing with errors!

We are blessed by scriptures so that we to whom the end of the world have come might be guided. 1Corinthians 10:11

I wonder why God gave us scriptures since He was sending us the Holy Spirit anyway.

Today, we practice all sorts and do all sorts 'being led by the Spirit' under some prophetic license which things are done obviously for other ulterior motives...

If the scriptures lose their place in our devotion another religion will arise out of our faith to ravage Christianity.

The falling away coming before the revelation of the man of sin will still leave the fallouts  sitting in church pews and preaching in the pulpits... 2Thessalonians 2:3

And that antiChrist spirit is already here. Jesus the word is come in the flesh and not just a thing of the unseen spirit. 1John 4:3

We need to be careful how we leave the scriptures to follow after some spirits. Not every spirit is of God o. The Holy Spirit who also is the author of the Word knows the importance of the written word and uses it to confirm His operations among many other spirits who don't call Jesus Lord in their operations but have a show of godliness. 1John 4:1-2, 1Corinthians 12:1-3

We shouldn't forget that those who received the Holy Spirit at the first knew also that no scripture is of any private interpretation.... 2Peter 1:19-21
They knew also that these scriptures are given for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction so that the true man of God maybe throughly equipped and prepared unto every good work....
So how do we speak as if the scriptures are being made to  be overbearing and usurping position?

This mentality will undermine divine instruction, erode sound doctrine, will incapacitate reproof of errors and produce rebellion to divine correction...just literally removing what the scriptures were sent to do...

I'm sure this is the reason why the teaching ministry is being fought to be captured and caged. Instead so many people who have no business in the prophetic ministry are being enlisted like the priests of Jeroboam to fight the doctrines of scriptures and establish strange fires...many preaching the doctrines of demons with the spirits of divination working with them confirming their words with signs following. Yet we are loving it so... Acts 16:16

Peter was with Christ on the mount of transfiguration saw and heard things yet came out speaking of a more sure word of prophecy, he was the leader of the pack who saw the resurrection and the ascension and received first hand the fire literally seen upon each of them and the baptism of the Holy Spirit and if these people won't sideline the scriptures for the Holy Spirit, then we who their words, inspired by the Holy Spirit, have taught, who may not have experienced the Holy Spirit as they and may never be privileged to, shouldn't prove to know the place of the Holy Spirit in relation to the scriptures more than they!

When we deviate from those ancient pathways and now pretend as if we know more than they we tread dangerous paths....

Let's be careful, let's proof every spirit, not all spirits are of God. 1Thessalonians 5:19-22

The devil is no match for God, the challenges we face are common to man. Even those who promise and minister such grope with their own challenges. The problem is that our unwillingness to bear and endure hardships have made preys of many to ravening wolves in sheep's clothings. 1Corinthians 10:13&14, 2Timothy 2:3

The devil can't bind you outside using your comfort as bait. So comfort is presented and endurance discouraged, patience has no place just like the old strategy he used against Jesus at His temptations in the wilderness...the only difference is that we had left out scriptures to counter him... 2Peter 2:19, Mathew 4:3-11

God has ways of escape to every temptation for the faithful but first to be able to bear it so says the scriptures but we have been told patience isn't necessary and bearing isn't an answer and so the wolves ravage on...1Corinthians 10:13

I humbly implore all who have the heart of seeing the glory of God in the church without wrinkles and spots, all who would be willing to see the presentation of every child of God perfect to consider again the goings on in the body and let's see where we are missing it and return unto God. Ephesians 5:26&27, Colossians 1:28&29

Not to popularise self or build a ministry but for the sake of the Holy Kingdom God has put in our care and the people bought by His precious blood.

Good Morning!
