Because what did he say?
He said, "Look, he's going to bring to remembrance all things whatsoever I've 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 preach, 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.
