"The Spirit of the Lord

1
"The Spirit of the Lord Spake By Me"
2
The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word
was in my tongue. 2 Samuel
232
3
The Source of the Scriptures
"The Spirit of the Lord"
4
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness
2 Timothy 316
5
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet
present with you. John
1425
6
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you. John 1426
7
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth for he shall not
speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak and he will shew you things
to come. John 1613
8
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how
or what ye shall speak for it shall be given you
in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is
not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you. Matthew 1019-20
9
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter
121
10
What is borne is taken up by the bearer, and
conveyed by the bearers power, not its own, to
the bearers goal, not its own. The men who spoke
from God are here declared, therefore, to have
been taken up by the Holy Spirit and brought by
His power to the goal of His choosing. The things
which they spoke under this operation of the
Spirit were therefore His things, not
theirs.Though spoken through the instru-
mentality of men, it is by
11
virtue of the fact that these men spoke as borne
by the Holy Spirit, an immediately Divine word.
12
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel
which was preached of me is not after man. For I
neither received it of man, neither was I taught
it, but by the revelation of Jesus
Christ. Galatians 111-12
13
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us
by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made the worlds.
Hebrews 11-2
14
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us
by his Spirit for the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man
knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of
man which is in him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 29-11
15
The Transmission of the Truth
"Spake By Me"
16
How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in
the mystery of Christ) which in other ages was
not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now
revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by
the Spirit Ephesians 33-5
17
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 210
18
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things
that I write unto you are the commandments of the
Lord. 1 Corinthians 1437
19
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is
salvation even as our beloved brother Paul also
according to the wisdom given unto him hath
written unto you As also in all his epistles,
speaking in them of these things in which are
some things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do
also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction. 2 Peter 315-16
20
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of
restitution of all things, which God hath spoken
by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the
world began. Acts 321
21
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto
the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you
they make you vain they speak a vision of their
own heart, and not out of the mouth of the
Lord. Jeremiah 2316
22
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran I
have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But
if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have
turned them from their evil way, and from the
evil of their doings. Jeremiah 2321-22
23
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because, when ye received the word of God which
ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of
men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you that
believe. 1 Thessalonians 213
24
The Method for the Message
"His Word Was In My Tongue"
25
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter
121
26
God moved and the prophet mouthed God
revealed and the prophet recorded.
27
Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my
mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have
put my words in thy mouth.
Jeremiah 19
28
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
have dealt very treacherously against me, saith
the Lord. They have belied the Lord, and said, It
is not he neither shall evil come upon us
neither shall we see sword nor famine And the
prophets shall become wind, and the word is not
in them thus shall it be done unto them.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts,
Because ye speak this
29
word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth
fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour
them. Jeremiah 511-14
30
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran I
have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But
if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have
turned them from their evil way, and from the
evil of their doings. Jeremiah 2321-22
31
Thus saith the Lord Stand in the court of the
Lords house, and speak unto all the cities of
Judah, which come to worship in the Lords house,
all the words that I command thee to speak unto
them diminish not a word
Jeremiah 262
32
Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all
the words that I have spoken unto thee against
Israel, and against Judah, and against all the
nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the
days of Josiah, even unto this day. It may be
that the house of Judah will hear all the evil
which I purpose to do unto them that they may
return every man from his evil way that I may
forgive their iniquity
33
and their sin. Then Jeremiah called Baruch the
son of Neriah and Baruch wrote from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had
spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Jeremiah 362-4
34
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether
they will hear, or whether they will forbear for
they are most rebellious. Ezekiel
27
35
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy
mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith
the Lord God He that heareth, let him hear and
he that forbeareth, let him forbear for they are
a rebellious house. Ezekiel 327
36
The careful Bible student will note from this
passage that God did the talking and used
Ezekiels mouth to do it.
37
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command
you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it,
that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord
your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 42
38
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove
thee, and thou be found a liar.
Proverbs 306
39
For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book
And if any man shall take away from the words of
the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
his part out of the book of life, and out of the
holy city, and from the things which are written
in this book. Revelation 2218-19
40
Either directly or indirectly we find some
fifteen hundred statements that claim its divine
origin.
41
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king
of Israel, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou
seen all this great multitude? behold, I will
deliver it into thine hand this day and thou
shalt know that I am the Lord. 1
Kings 2013
42
Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and
against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all
the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways,
and keep my commandments and my statutes,
according to all the law which I commanded your
fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants
the prophets. 2 Kings 1713
43
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and
to the princes of Judah, that were gathered
together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and
said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have
forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you
in the hand of Shishak. 2 Chronicles
125
44
And when they heard that, they lifted up their
voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord,
thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and all that in them is Who by the
mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
heathen rage, and the people imagine vain
things? Acts 424-25
45
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have
been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth
of David spake before concerning Judas, which was
guide to them that took Jesus.
Acts 116
46
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a
word in my name, which I have not commanded him
to speak, or that shall speak in the name of
other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deuteronomy 1820
47
But he answered and said, It is written, Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 44
48
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth. 2
Timothy 215
49
Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God that we
might know the things that are freely given to us
of God. Which things also we speak, not in the
words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth comparing spiritual things
with spiritual. 1 Corinthians 212-13
50
Take note of the apostles progression of
thought 1) We speak 2) we speak in words
3) we speak not in words which mans wisdom
teacheth 4) we speak in words which the Spirit
teacheth.
51
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things
that I write unto you are the commandments of the
Lord. 1 Corinthians 1437
52
If they were dependent on their fallible, human
judgment in the selection of these words, in any
instance in which their judgment was in error, it
is not possible for us today to discover what the
Holy Spirit intended. One wrong word might
obscure, or strike out, a truth essential to our
salvation! The words are all we have. If there is
no guarantee that the words of the Bible are
the ones the Lord intended, then we have
no way of determining what the thought
53
is. If the words of the Bible are the words of
men, and not the words of the Holy Spirit, then
it is not possible to know which of the thoughts
therein expressed are the thoughts of God and
which are the thoughts of men, since any error of
judgment, in the selection of a word, would
extend to the thought, thus corrupting it.
54
If some people find it difficult to imagine how
God guided the authors in the choice of words of
the Scriptures, is it any easier for them to
explain how He inspired the thoughts?
55
The God of the universe who gave us the Word
also gave us the words.
56
Those who subscribe to thought inspiration
cannot properly ascribe inspiration to THE BOOK
at all. They are logically estopped from
referring to the Bible as the inspired WORD of
God, inasmuch as they did not believe that it is
inspired in WORD at all. The truth is, if it is
not inspired IN WORD, it is not inspired at all,
since it is composed of words.
57
According as his divine power hath given unto us
all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us
to glory and virtue 2 Peter 13
58
The sixty-six books speak with a consistent
voice that these are the words of God.
59
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the
soul the testimony of the Lord is sure, making
wise the simple. Psalm 197
60
How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in
the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was
not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now
revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by
the Spirit Ephesians 33-5
61
God has condescended to become an author, and
yet people will not read His writings.
62
Now ye are clean through the word which I have
spoken unto you. John 153
63
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 1415
64
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the
light of the Lord. Isaiah 25
65
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto
my path. Psalm 119105
66
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of
the brethren, see that ye love one another with a
pure heart fervently Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 122-23
67
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of
the brethren, see that ye love one another with a
pure heart fervently Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 122-23
68
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one
body. 1 Corinthians 1213
69
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free. John 832
70
Every word of God is pure.
Proverbs 305
71
All scripture is given by inspiration of
God. 2 Timothy 316
72
"The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His Word
was in my tongue"
