A Word Of Warning
From 'The Oracles of God' Book:
The following revelations have come at all sorts of times and by different manifestations of the Spirit. There was a time when His presence came into my room and talked with me, other times whilst I was listening to music and I heard His voice. Always the same Jesus, just different manifestations of His love and grace. I have not written this book that I should be thought anything special of. Much the opposite. I, like
Paul, say I am not worthy to be called an apostle, I am the less than the least of all saints yet I am what I am by His grace.
This excerpts from The oracles of God book has been written to bless and help you, my dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, to help you get a little closer to Him Who loved us and gave Himself for us.
Revelations such as these, never supersede the Word of God!
People have grabbed at these things in the past and made a doctrine from them. Wrong! Anything given by the Spirit of God will always line up with the Word of God. If you find something here that you don't agree with, put it on the back burner! As the apostle Paul wrote, ‘What sayeth the Scripture?’ Some of these are personal exhortations from the Lord to me, to help me keep going. ‘The Lord stood with me’ and ‘the Lord appeared to me in a vision’ He remains Faithful and True, the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13 v 8) At times it was impossible to tell Who was talking to me. One moment it was Jesus, the next it was the Father. They are one. They seem to have the ability to flow from each other. Jesus said He came out of the Father on one occasion. On another, He said it was the Father in Him Who did the works. You may think that sometimes the grammar is wrong but it isn't. It is like I heard it, one minute One speaking, the next the Other and other times the Holy Spirit. Also I would see things as He spoke. His words are not like ours. My words are Spirit and life Jesus said. Often when He spoke, I would either see what He was talking about in a vision, or given an understanding of what He was saying. Remember, a single Scripture can have a number of different angles on it, so to speak. It can be very difficult sometimes to bring spiritual things into a natural world. Forgive me if I tend to ramble on. I'm just trying to convey to you what I heard and saw.
Understanding the above will keep you on safe ground and will enhance your enjoyment of the following. Some are lengthy discourses, others are one liners. All are given for the edifying of the Body of Christ and for the glory of God Who gave them.
One of them, the discourse on Maturing in the God kind of love, is the most powerful explanations I have ever heard. The Scriptures encourage us to ‘make love our great quest’ 1 Cor 12 verse 1. This discourse also gives us a tremendous insight into His nature and the motive of His heart in coming to save us from our sins.
God bless you and keep you in His grace.
