John Chapter Sixteen
13. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Galatians Chapter One
11. For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians Chapter Three
1. For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
Romans Chapter Eight
14. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
As I was praying today Father spoke to me and asked me to listen and write and publish his words for all to hear. Here are his words, he said:
My beloved children, I long to have conversation with each of you but so many of you are stuck in this book called the Bible and can’t hear what I am saying to you. The Bible as you call it is a holy book in its original writing. It contains words of the prophets and apostles and great words recorded that my beloved Son spoke to the people. However this book was given to you to be an introduction to me and not to be read as if it is all I have to say to you. Throughout the centuries men who did not have your best interest at heart changed the meaning and used it to trap you inside its pages.
My loved ones even in my Son’s days of walking on the earth he told you that the scribes and Pharisees had taken over Moses place and had twisted the original meaning of scripture. Do you remember that my Son said “you have heard that it is written to hate your enemies but I say to love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you?” He wrestled with the same thing. People used a book that was written in love and written in parable and allegory and twisted the meaning to put people in bondage. He told the Pharisees that they put rules on people that they themselves didn’t keep.
Today many who call themselves my ministers rule over their congregations by using parts of the book that do not pertain to you to keep you in fear and in prison. Let me make it simple: any verse you read that is not seen through the eyes of a loving father who gave all he had to save you is a wrong translation. If you read the book and find condemnation then you did not properly divide the word of truth.
As our beloved Paul told you that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. None, whatsoever! So if you read and don’t feel encouraged then you misunderstood the original meaning and need to dig deeper into the original meanings. Yet there is a much better way.
On the day of Pentecost my Holy Spirit came. Holy Spirit didn’t come handing out books and rules. What came was the indwelling presence inside you that knows all and sees all and came to teach you all that you need to know.
Think of it this way. So many of you say if it’s not written in the scriptures then you don’t accept it. So what about those who wrote the scriptures? What they heard and wrote was not in the book before they heard and wrote it. Can you imagine when the prophet said that a virgin shall give birth what the people who read it thought? They declared the prophet crazy and said no such thing had ever been heard of.
My loved ones, your teacher who dwells within you will teach you the meaning of the scriptures. You need no man to teach you for you have the greatest teacher dwelling inside you.
What I am saying is that what was meant to be a roadmap to the destination has become the destination for so many of you. You are stuck two thousand years in the past when I am trying to lead you into a glorious future. Some worship the book and call it "The Word of God." My glorious son is my Word. He is who that the prophets of all spoke of. He said if you have seen me you have seen my Father. John said "in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." There was no version of your book with me in the beginning but my glorious Son was there.
Another thing that those who imprison you with the book misunderstand is that scripture was written for you but not to you. Yes there are eternal truths written in my book but there are timelines in scriptures that are not for your day. For example; there was a time before Moses gave the law when people were not judged because there was no law. There was a time when the children of Israel agreed to a covenant with me and lived under this law until after my Son fulfilled the law and sat down at my right hand. There was another time period from when my Son fulfilled the law until the whole system of law was destroyed when the temple and the Old Testament priesthood ended with the destruction of the temple.
As it is written in the letter you call Hebrews the way into the holiest of all was not available as long as the earthly tabernacle was still standing. Just as the forty years were spent in the wilderness all those who had been born under the Law of Moses were given a generation to come into the new before the old was destroyed.
What you call the New Testament letters were written in this time. That is why it seems confusing to some. Some try to take the warning of the apostles and push them forward into your day but they were teaching people in their day how to live in their day. For example Paul told his followers that it was best not to get married but this didn’t mean forever. It was because he knew the tribulation was coming in their time. It is also why he said this "present suffering" is nothing compared to the glory about to revealed in them. This is why John said he was in “The Tribulation.” This is why John said that it was “the last hour.” They weren’t speaking of the end of the world but of the end of the age of the Old Testament. You can learn greatly from what is written but these events are already finished.
Do you remember that my Son told the people standing in front of him that some of them would not taste death before all the things he warned them of would come to pass? You must consider the audience that the letters were written to in your understanding.
When the Apostles made statements that included the words “we” they were speaking of themselves and others in their time. If you write to a friend and say “we will go fishing when I arrive” you don’t mean people two thousand years from now. If someone reads your letter two thousand years from now they will not expect you to show up and take them fishing. This is one way people who call themselves ministers keep you trapped in the book. They see everything as future and don’t realize how much was already fulfilled.
Remember this is the New Covenant. I will write my laws in your heart and on your mind. This is so each person in each generation can have truth to live by that pertains to their day and their situation. I am God of all but I am God of each of you personally and desire a one on one relationship with each of you.
The scriptures are holy as originally written but they were the roadmap to the destination, they were not the destination. Suppose you look at a map to go to your friend’s house and when you get there you just ignore your friend and keep staring at the map. Yet this is what my church has done. They deem the study of the book more important than face to face fellowship with the one who the book was written about. When you go to a restaurant do you eat your food when it arrives or do you keep reading the menu?
My loved ones it is time to know and be known. I want you to know the one who loves you so much that I have to live within you because anywhere outside you would be too far away. I love you too much to be a faraway God and I don’t want to be just the God you read about in a book when I live inside you.
Do you remember when they spoke about my Son they said if all the things he did were written in books the world couldn’t contain the books? So are those things he did thrown out because they weren’t recorded in the book? Are only things recorded legitimate?
I have given many of you dreams and visions and visitations but because you don’t have scripture and verse you discarded the encounter. Many of you ignore the love words I am writing on your heart and have your head in a book that you don’t understand because it was twisted and used to control you.
I am not saying to throw away the book. I inspired the book and my words were written by the hands of those who wrote it in the beginning. I am saying that you have the author inside you and you should consult the author with any question you have about meaning. Or better yet, when you read the book ask my Spirit to give you the true meaning of the words. Please remember my Son taught in parables and without a parable he taught nothing.
Paul said he would show you a mystery that had been hidden for ages. That mystery was in the book and misunderstood for thousands of years. Only when revealed by my Spirit did it come alive to those who read it. As it is written: The letter kills but the Spirit gives life, so without revelation you don’t get life from the book. This is why my Son told the Pharisees that they searched the scriptures looking for life but didn’t find it.
So if all you get from reading is a history lesson you completely missed the original meaning. If you take all the prophecies in the book and think they are future then are you looking for another savior to be born in Bethlehem? My Son told the Pharisees that the law and the prophets were all written about him. They were not written about people thousands of years after him. In the book you call The Revelation our beloved John was told over and over that the time of these events was "at hand." Not thousands of years in the future.
My loved ones I know I tell you these things often but many are still not hearing. I will not stop teaching until you understand because I love you too much to leave you in ignorance about how wonderful you are and how much you are loved. I long to show you what wonderful gifts are lavished upon you because of that love. You are adored and I live and breathe inside you because of my love for you. I want you to know the one who lives within you. I want to be your God, not just Paul’s God or Peter’s God or John’s God. You are just as beloved as them.
I want to write my love letters in your heart until you understand that you have been my plan for generations. Yes you are happy when your friend is in love but isn’t it better if you experience it yourself? It is written “taste and see that the LORD is good.” It doesn’t say to read and see.
The Apostles and Prophets and my beloved firstborn experienced amazing adventures in me. Don’t you want to do the same? I long to do just as many miracles through your hands as theirs. This doesn’t come with reading a book. The Pharisees memorized my book and used their understanding of the book to crucify my first born Son. Yet when people saw my Son’s disciples coming they said that these men had been “with” him. Not read about him.
They experienced him face to face and yet were told that the Spirit that was in him would be in them also. He told them it is better for him to go away and send Holy Spirit for he was one man with them and Holy Spirit would be Almighty God within them.
It’s the same with you: As long as you see me as a faraway God beyond the blue that people in a book wrote about you will not experience my indwelling presence. You can’t look for me in a book and look for me inside you at the same time. Here is my plan for all of you. I will live in you and walk in you and I will be “YOUR” God and you will be “MY PEOPLE.” There are great and wonderful experiences for you to have if you will come Beyond The Book!
These are the words He gave me to share with you today.
I hope you are encouraged by these words.
Until next time,
Grow Rich in His Grace,
I love you all,
