He said he forsook the Bible.
Hello Jack....where did he say that?

We can’t forsake the inspired word of God...how can we check what we hear from the Spirit without the inspired word of God.

Of course there are times, where not everything is recorded in the word....like, when he brings people to me , when I’m in the street, to talk to them, as some lonely people only see me all day ...who wants to speak to them and listen to what they have to say....many acts of kindness aren’t recorded in the word, but, when we do them, we know that they came from the heart of God...who wants to show his kindness and Love through us, we are his vessels to use as is pleasing to him.

We are to show Love and Kindness to all people, including gays, lesbians, and non believers....I’m not saying that we condone what they do,( lesbians and gays)...we are called to Love them.treat them with dignity and respect.

He already confessed for all to witness. "Personally I have left Hawaii (bible) and have gone further afield." At least he was honest!

You shouldn't have forsaken God of the Bible!

1 Timothy 4:1-2

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy,

Amen Jesus!
Again I don't know why you are giving Satan the glory for the work of transforming grace performed in my life. The continual fruit of the Spirit seen by those who have known me for a long time is the proof, the evidence that a Holy, Godly Spirit lives here. His character is observed by others around me, by their admission.

All I can say is glory to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Praise to the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I don't spend much time or expend much energy at all on what Satan tries to do.

I work with demon possessed people as part of my job. I have no fear of Satan and his fellow unclean spirits. Why?

Well I'm too caught up in fixing my eyes on Jesus and listening out for His voice. I have gotten to know the power and authority my sovereign Father has and the pathetic weakness of Satan in comparison. Satan's like a terrified frightened little insecure boy when confronted by the glorified Jesus. The Divine Spirit in me is soonoo much more powerful than Satan and all his followers put together. No fear here.

Music to my ears, you have a Living Spiritual relationship with God, hence being Born Of The Spirit, I have found for me, that it has taken many years for the Spirit to develop my spiritual eyes and ears...remember that enemy knows our weaknesses... the Spirit has also brought me to understand that everything is done in His strength, I have to wait on his strength.....without his Spirit I am nothing and can do nothing....that has been a really hard lesson to learn....submit to the Spirit.....there is nothing good in the flesh..

Glorify the Living God...that is our calling...The Spirit is Alive and Active etc.....he knows the intents of the heart, he knows our hearts more than we know them ourselves, always come to God with sincerity of heart.
Thanks for your encouragement.

Hi One2 one...does God speak to you in an audible voice?
I don't hear Him speak to me in an audible voice. He speaks to me in parables mostly. Often when I'm engaging with others. It's a 3 way conversation, when a person is speaking to me, I speak to Jesus and He gives me a parable to share with them in response.

I learn so much myself as a result of these engagements. What's that saying, those who water others are watered themselves. Give and it will be given to you as well. Our God is so generous. So worthy of our praise and worship.

I think it’s great, that you Witness for the “ Living Spirit “ Of Christ, who is at work in our hearts/ spirit....when I look on how I used to be and where I’m at today in Christ, it amazes me and fills me with Awe.....he NEVER stops working in us, conforming us into the image of Jesus....Praise His Holy/ Mighty Name!

Absolutely, the information recorded in the bible book is not exhaustive. As John concluded in his gospel,

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

It sounds like you are forever seeking him out with your heart, I do that as well, ....I want to know his heart more and more each day.

Seek him with all of your heart, for that is where you will find him....

And for those who forsake the Bible:

1 Timothy 4:1-2
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy,

Heading for Hell Fire!

Amen!...we are the Lords representatives....the enemy hates to hear that and will do everything in his power to destroy our great Love that we have for the Living Spirit Of God.

You are well aware of his cunning ways...I can see that....God Bless you as you grow in the Spirit Of Christ, tis a great Honour and Privilege to be Born Again..to be conformed into Jesus image and bear “ HIS” fruit.

@One 2 question it’s also amazing how we can walk in the spirit and not satisfy that useless flesh of ours, that it once was......we just continue to grow in spiritual maturity, staying in harmony with the Spirit Of God....it’s far from an easy path, lots of trials and tribulations along the way....

Greater are Those within us than any outside in the world. I am bound to Christ and He is committed to me as in a marriage. I am one with my Divine Father and love Him because He first loved me. I possess Their Spirit and He possesses me. It's such a wonderful thing to know we are Their home, temple, host.

If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
