I had a vision that took me to a geographic location to pray for a woman with advanced cancer.
A total stranger to me. (to make a long story short) Never saw her again.

There is only truth in the Living word of God....I’m not into worldly talk ,lol.....worldly talk bores me silly.
Hebrews 4:12
New International Version
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

So, you aren't hearing from God, except by reading the Bible?
You have never heard his voice? Received a word of knowledge?
Had a vision? Prophesied, or spoken in tongues?
Prayed for the sick and seen them healed?
Raised the dead? - LOL
John 10:27 NIV
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

In context.
1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.
13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.
18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.
19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
27 For it is written: “Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Galatians 4
1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.
3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.
13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.
18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.
19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.

Do you know that the Bible is God’s Living word?
If I told you ,what I have heard from God, these past few years, you wouldn’t believe it...some things are very much, best kept between God and his child.
I’ve had one vision...God also spoke to my heart regarding this vision....this was over 31 yrs ago....he brought me back to it, around 3 and a half years ago.
I still can’t share....when God speaks to me.....it excites me like no other....I know in my heart, that everything is being worked out according to his plan......therefore I’m very much at peace about it now and resting in him....Praise His Holy Name.
We’re talking God here.....has he spoken to you lately?
I also heard and received his Holy Spirit...I’m Born Again...by the Living word of God.
His Spirit resides in my spirit.
Do you know his Spirit lives in you?

Romans 8
King James Version
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 10
King James Version
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

When you believe God is speaking to your spirit.....he will NEVER contradict his word.
Therefore check it out with scripture....if it doesn’t line up with his word.
Then it wasn’t from him.

As paul once said , LET GOD BE TRUE but every man a liar . ALL MEN , ALL THINGS
are to be tested against the pure and holy WORDS of the LORD . HE BE TRUE . WE KNOW HIS WORDS ARE TRUTH .
AND we test all men against them words . LET GOD be true but every man a liar . Yet many seem to hold
to lies of men and thus treat GOD and HIS words as though GOD be the liar and their men be right .
THAT WONT BODE WELL at all for them . NOW as for lambs , THEY GONNA feast on them holy words .
the LORD has shed HIS LOVE upon our hearts . the LAMBS have the SPIRIT , the SPIRIT IS TRUTH
the SPIRIT TESTIFIES OF JESUS CHRIST and will never once contradict them pure and holy , lovely and wonderful
words of truth in scripture . THE SPIRIT cannot deny the truth , IT IS THE TRUTH . JESUS cannot deny the TRUTH
HE IS THE TRUTH . Hit them trenches sister , the wordly will point to that which seemeth and feeleth right to a man
and yet there is a way which does that , IT SEEMETH RIGHT and yet the end is death .
BUT GOD IS LIFE < CHRIST IS LIFE , HIS WORDS and SPIRIT and they are LIFE . JESUS said that
MY WORDS are SPIRIT and they are LIFE . and LAMBS FEAST ON THEM WORDS . now raise those hands
and dance a jig o praise unto the LORD .

The tatics of the dark one are cleverly spun . YET JESUS HAS THE LAMBS and they buy not the deception .
But here a few examples and you will often hear them . HAS GOD really said . NOW keep that in mind as i continue onward
with this example .
HAS GOD really said , nay nay it says the bible has errors , or nay nay that dont apply to you
ITS GONNA twist THE WORDS and even OMIT the words in that bible .
In order to decieve its gonna come in as though it is one of us as do its men who are under its influence .
BUT THEY ARE NOT OF US .
They will put the focus more on EXPERIENCE and keep chipping away at The mindset of having to BE IN THE SCRIPTURES .
they will call that idolatry , and will say things like you guys worship the bible and not GOD .
WHICH absolutely makes zero sense . I MEAN IF WE DO WORSHIP GOD would we not LOVE HIS WORDS OF TRUTH .
but anyway , they go on and on to make the trust more in experience and in man , NOT IN SOLID BIBLICAL TRUTH .
And its how they take over and literally destroy whole churches from within .
But , as i said , and JESUS SAID IT FIRST , the lambs wont be heeding them voices . JESUS IS WITH THE LAMBS
HE is our strength , our hope , our salvation , our guide and HE KEEPS HIS SHEEP SAFE from the deceptive ways of men gone wrong
and firmly planted in sound biblical doctrine .

I'm reminded of scripture constantly.
It's rare for me to hear his audible voice. He usually says, "Talk to that person."
In reference to a total stranger, When I ask what I should say, I get no response. (sigh)
In obedience I go and speak to the person. Then it becomes clear to me what needs to be said.
So, you haven't had the Baptism with the Holy Spirit for power?
The Spirit on, not the Spirit in. A subsequent experience.
More than the infilling that comes from belief.
Enables you to operate in spiritual gifts. (manifestations)
Peter relates this testimony about the house of Cornelius.
Acts 11:15-16 NIV
“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them
as he had come on us at the beginning.
16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,
but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’

By the grace of GOD i did experience the baptism of the HOLY GHOST . and i still stand On the truth in that bible .
That if one word is being contradicted , then that voice will not be heeded .
My advice to all is , now GO and do likewise . cause we got so many decievers who always speak as though
they are some oracle of GOD and yet when tested , OOOPS they contradict the scriptures . THEY WONT BE HEEDED PEROID .
But yes , the Baptism of the HOLY GHOST its real . But beware o men
heck even an apostel or two was in error and had to be rebuked . remember barnabas and peter .
Even they had slipped , but paul quickly corrected it and of course they repented . MEN are NOT INFALLIBLE
anyone can mess up . BUT GOD HE IS INFALLIBLE and SO TOO IS HIS WORD and HIS WORDS .
TRUTH is ONLY HIS WORDS SHALL ENDURE . So my advice is WE FEAST ON THEM PAGES of that bible
and then KEEP ON feasting and learning and growing by the grace of GOD .
