Because what did he say? He said, look, he's going to bring to remembrance all things
whatsoever I have said to you. So he's not just going to show up and start leading you
contradictory to what is revealed in the written Word of God. Rather, he reminds
you of the Word of God. He brings the Word of God to your remembrance and his
guidance and his leading is always going to be in line with and consistent with what
is revealed in the written Word. We have to be careful because there are a lot of
people who will say, oh, God told me this. God spoke to me. And in reality, it is
often a figment of their imagination. I mean, people in false religions will
say the same thing. Unsaved people will say that and you know that God is
not speaking to them, especially when they say, well, God told me and then they
bring out something that's just contradicting the Bible. So who am I supposed to
believe? You or the Bible? And if God is speaking to them with these
extra biblical revelations and giving them all these new truths, well, let me
grab a pen and write them in the back of my Bible so I can have all
of God's Word. But in reality, I already have all of God's Word right
here in this book and I'm not looking for an extra biblical revelation. You
see, here's the thing about extra biblical revelations in 2022. If they
are in line with what the Bible says, then they're unnecessary because we
already have the Bible saying the same thing. And if they are not in line with
what the Bible says, then they are false. So if they're saying what the
Bible says, okay, redundant. I've got it right. I've got everything right here.
Genesis to Revelation. And if they're not in line with the Bible, they're a
liar. And so it's that simple, my friend. We do not need extra biblical
revelation, but what we do need is the Holy Spirit guiding us in our lives.
Every single day we want to be led by the Holy Ghost. We want to be guided
into all truth. When I read my Bible, I want the Holy Spirit to be teaching
me the Bible as I'm reading the Bible. When I'm sitting in church and listening
to the Word of God preached, I need the Holy Ghost to help me to understand
what's being preached and to help me to discern whether what's being
preached is right or not. And many times when I make a decision in my
life, I'm going to make that decision. I'm going to pray to God and
ask for his guidance. And I'm just going to trust that God is going to
subtly guide me because he promised that if I acknowledge him in all my
ways, that he will direct my paths. And one of the ways he does that is
through the Holy Spirit living inside of me, guiding me, revealing truth
to me, and showing me what is wrong and what is right.
