Many of you will listen to this message that is full of Truth, and if you get offended at it that means that you have religion in you. The Holy Spirit is raising His church to the full stature of Christ, but our religious counterparts worship Paul. They worship Israel, and they worship the Bible, the letter. But Jesus has commanded us to worship Him in Spirit and in the Truth. Yes, He is the word but the living word.
Does the book talk? No. We talk. Faith comes by hearing, not by what is written. It is written so we know, but it is written for us to be free. The written word tells us to be led by the Spirit, not by the letter. The Bible tells us the future. Will we be lost without it? Is it not interesting that all the disciples did not have the Bible? They had the living Word in them. They were not lost at all. Actually, they were more powerful and bold than we are today. Maybe we are the ones deceived a bit, what do you think? They were following the living Word (Jesus) Holy Spirit. Then the Word that became flesh (Jesus) died and rose and then sent His spirit in us – Him in us, whoa!!!!. So we are still with Him and in Him and Him in us.
Jesus said, “It is finished,” but after that written word, “It is finished,” He’s not done with us yet. Just look at all that came after it. If all scriptures were given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what is the difference between the Book and what I said? Let’s look at an example: Paul wrote letters inspired by the Holy Spirit, but He also gave his opinion, and he shared his opinions with the churches. He also shared news about his journey. He shared things about those that he fell out with him. Did Paul know that a chronological book would be printed and be the # 1 all-time selling book? No, actually, he was hoping that it would even make it to the churches. He sent it to by messenger. Were there more letters? Only God knows. So that part is in the Bible, but it is NOT the Word of God, the breath of God. It is scripture or epistles. Let’s back what I am saying with the very scriptures that are in the Bible. Paul made sure that we would be able to separate when He was speaking as a man and as an oracle of God. For example, Paul, in an epistle, writes: "I give my advice" (2 Corinthians 8:8-10). Secondly, Paul quotes Scripture, and says the Lord gives that command, but "the rest is from me, not from the Lord" (1 Corinthians 7:10-12). Next, Paul says in another epistle: "Concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my own opinion" (1 Corinthians 7:25). Again, Paul says elsewhere: "What I am going to say now is not prompted by the Lord but from a fit of folly" (2 Corinthians 11:17). Finally, in advising virgins not to marry, Paul adds: "I think I have the spirit of God." (1 Corinthians 7:40). So we need to learn to divide the word of Truth. How? By the Spirit and not by taking in every word of Paul or any other disciple as the Word of God. Judge it by the Spirit.
Only when God breathes on something, that becomes holy and alive, that is the breath of God turning anything into His Word. God can breathe on newspaper words and speak to us. He has done this with me, and He can speak to us. He does that. He has done it. That is the Word of God. God spoke through a donkey; that donkey spoke the Word of God. Do we worship or exalt the donkey? You can memorize the letter and that letter does nothing for you because there is no breath of God in it! I hear the Bible on the T.V. all day, logos being read by orator. I have scriptures reading out loud all day in my house, but then, "Boom." All of a sudden, God wakes me up or my spirit starts to be fed and revelation comes. Then that specific part of the whole becomes alive. It just came alive because God breathed on it and spoke to me! We live by that. By every Word that proceeds, not out of the pages, but out of the mouth of God. Not by our daily scriptures. We need to kill all religion. Dead always quote the dead. If this is not how you hear God, then you’re in trouble. Check yourself whether you are born again or not.
Jesus told us to ask for our daily bread and not our daily scriptures. Anything that has the breath of God becomes fresh bread to me. The New Testament has God’s word but also the opinion of man. Paul gave us some of his opinions. We need to divide the Word of Truth. So the Bible is the word of God, but not all is the word of God. Even Jesus said Moses gave these precepts. Paul said some things, and we said, “That is God.” To those that have become religious, God is saying, "Go back to the sincere milk of the Word." Religious people can't eat meat.
He said, “If you believe Him, as it is written in the scriptures, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water!” Jesus said that He wanted to tell us so much more but He did not send the Spirit yet that guides us into all Truth. He said that He had so much to tell them, but they could not bear it now.
In the beginning was the Word that became flesh, and then the Word came back inside of us. Did you ever see Jesus carrying the Torah? Who were the ones always carrying the Torah? The Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Scribes! Jesus said in John 5:39: "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Have ever asked yourself why do we need red letters when all the word of God can separate the Father, the Son, and the Spirit? Good stuff here! Can you take it? The people who fight this Truth are actually deceived by religious demons.
You can say everything all the time and people won’t understand because they are bound by the letter. Jesus said: "My Words are spirit and life." He said to ask for our daily bread, not for our daily verse. Jesus came in, in our being, and became word in us: the Word in us is Jesus in us! The law was given by Moses. But grace, love and Truth came by Jesus Christ.
Moses wrote of Jesus. It testifies of Him. Paul wrote of us. It testifies of the Church and that is who we are now, the Body of Christ. Jesus saw Himself in the book of the law. It was said to them, "Do not let it depart from your mouth." Now in new wine He tells us that God Himself will write it on the tablets of our hearts.
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life." Most of the religious people don’t have the spirit but have a bunch of scriptures. To read the scriptures and to follow the letter does not make you sons of God, according to the letter or the scripture. The scripture says, "Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God." Not those who follow the letter or the law.
The Bible does not talk. God does. This is the bread that came down from heaven: Jesus. The Word spoke. The word became flesh. Jesus was the breath and the Word of God. Then He has put it in us who have been born again.
Some people call the letter the Spirit. They said, “This is the Holy Spirit.” No. They took it out of the book and call that the breath of God. Some people can’t even discern that that is not bread coming from heaven. I don't know about you, but I like fresh bread, right out of the oven.
All the things that Jesus did were not even written. How can we still be living by the written word only? We need the breath of God. The Word is Spirit. The Word is live. The letter is not Spirit. He said, “His Words” that come out of your mouth. Preaching should be backed up by the inspiration of the Spirit only or the preaching is dead to the Spirit. Many are preaching uplifting words and adding a few scriptures. This is not the Word either. Only the anointing breaks the yoke.
Jesus Christ shut the book in the temple and said, "Today, this scripture has been fulfilled." Then He - the Word - walked out of the temple, and they wanted to kill Him. Religious people are doing the same today with the oracles of God coming out of the mouth of His apostles and prophets.
Moses heard God in the burning bush. This is the only time that He wrote the law on the tablets with His own finger. Now He is writing on our hearts with His own finger as well. But He writes only what comes out of His mouth. "Man shall live not by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." People will demonize the breath of God. Proceeds meaning always flowing. The same book that is supposed to be setting people free is binding so many up, shutting down the Kingdom.
It is written! "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of His mouth." Is God dead? Has He stopped speaking? No. We try to find Him in a book when He is right in us.
Everybody wants to tell you how God speaks because they get that from the written Word but not by the Spirit. God himself can be speaking to me, but we diminish that because our dream is not in the written pages, when the Spirit is saying, “Pay attention. That is me.” God speaks to us in dreams, for example. Sometimes He will illuminate the written Word, and that makes it alive for us.
You need to search the scriptures but not to try to find fault in the preaching all the time. But we cannot worship the written Word above the Spirit. You should be able to test the doctrines by the Spirit as well, and not only by the written word. We worship the Holy Spirit and not a book.
God inspired many to write what He was saying – the Word. But what is relevant for me today? I need the Spirit for that. We became GOD’S epistles read by all man. We are the living Word. Living water shall flow out of not His belly only any more but YOUR belly. The Bible is inside of us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of God He said you are the pen of a ready writer. Who is the author? Yep, God! Let Him pick you up a big pen and write the word of God in your generation. Not on stones, but in hearts. We are not followers of the law. Not of the letter but of the Spirit. We follow His Words because HIS WORDS ARE LIFE (the word that proceeds out of His mouth are Spirit and life). I will never oppose the written Word, but I will bring more revelation and insight that none of the kings and wise man could have ever known. That is why many wish they could live in the last times that we are in. "For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them," Matthew 13:17. Now the Holy Spirit is still speaking and guiding us through revelation, revelation upon revelation. That is why the Holy Spirit is called the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
If God gives me a Word from someone, that Word is from God. God is in the book, but He is not a book. The Lord is that Spirit. And where the Lord is, there is freedom. If God inspired the word you speak, that is God’s Word as well. You can say something and put the Word in the beginning and in the end, but that does not make that the Word of God unless He is saying that to you. You felt His breath on it! The Spirit is alive. This will set you free, but some will never be free.
“What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?” (1 Corinthians 14:36). A Berean without the Spirit is a theologian with no revelation.
The Spirit within us should judge all things. But religious judge what you say by their minds. “Why do you do it this way, that way?” I would say, “I don’t know where that is in the Bible, but demons are being cast out, people healed, people are being saved. People were blind but now they see. Just like the blind guy said to the religious hypocrites during Jesus time... “I don't know how to answer all these questions about that man. But all that I know is that I was blind but now I see.” Spiritual blindness is horrible.
The Word does not say, "Today when you read the Bible," but it says, "Today, when you hear HIS VOICE, harden not you heart!" Today is today and always will be! How do I know that He is not talking about the Bible? Here is your proof: For the Word of God, not the scriptures, but the Word of God, is quick, powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword that divides and discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart! Only the breath of God can do that! You only can have discernment when you hear the voice of God and move in the gifts. You can read, read, read the Bible and never be able to discern anything. This is the gift of the Holy Spirit. There are 9 gifts that equip us to hear Him and to move in Him and to have our being.
The book does not talk. The Spirit does. “What you hear in your ear, speak on the roof top.” He did not say what you read in the Book. Scream it! The Bible may not be clear on something, but the Holy Spirit is clear about all Bible matters. The Holy Spirit shall teach you what you SAY, not what to read only! You can have ears, but you may not have ears to hear the Spirit, what He is saying. He has said this so many times: "Those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying." Not just what the Spirit said thousands years ago but now as well!
People search the scriptures but the scriptures speak of HIM! “O, brother, who do you think you are?” I will tell you: “The living Word.” Religious people get mad at you when you know who you are, but God is happy when you find your identity. He is happy when you speak and He speaks through you! Why are you looking for the living among the dead? Dead letter!
The Book of Revelation was written from an encounter of God. Every bit of it will be fulfilled. Paul’s letters of correction to the church are so very needed. But for today's time, we also need the Word of God for now – present day truth. Even Peter spoke about that. What He is saying today?
My trust is not in a book but in the Spirit! I believe the Bible has made many people lose their power because it is full of Word but pushed down your throat by religious dictators not anointed apostles and prophets but who tell you it’s a new time and God waited until now to give this in fullness. So when people read it without the breath of God, you can know a lot about the Bible, but the Word may not be abiding in you. In the Bible, some angels were bringing a message. That message became the Word of God.
You search the scriptures, and just because of that you think you have eternal life! But you need to come to HIM so you can have eternal life! God breathes on it and that became alive. Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and all the others became the book. Religious people always exalt the dead above the living. It is a curse to worship the dead. Now after the Holy Spirit, we become the Word! Jesus became the Book and always was and always is. And now the living word is within us!
I am not saying we need to stop reading the Bible but stop your religious rituals. Wait on the Spirit and stop worshiping it. God said we need to worship HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH (word). God has said a lot more than written. The early church had to come in agreement by the instructions of the Holy Spirit. Think about the Truth. What was the most powerful time in the church history? It was after Jesus sent the Holy Spirit. It was the early church in the book of Acts, but there was not even the written book of Acts, yet. No one had a Bible. They all preached by the Spirit of God. They testified of Jesus and mighty works were done even by the deacons like Steven. Jesus said, "Don't worry what you are going to say when you are brought before the courts. I will give you the words right then." So many need to be set free.
If every Bible becomes illegal, if they burn all of them, would the church stop? Would people stop getting saved? Would God stop speaking? Would we be lost? How about all the unknown tribes in the middle of the jungle that can’t get a hold of a book? How about the thousands upon thousands of languages into which the book/Bible has not yet be translated? Are they all condemned to hell because they don't read it? The answer for all of those questions is NO. If we have and we do have the Spirit of Truth in us, He promised to guide us into all Truth. He has released the Spirit of Truth throughout the Earth, teaching, speaking, convincing with the book or without the book. Don't let the same book that is supposed to set you free and bring you closer to the Holy Spirit make you bound and deaf to the living God.
Please listen to the audio below. There are so many more scriptures, Word, and revelation of this letter to the Church. God will take you to another level of true freedom. If you do let Him break your mindset, chains will fall off and living waters (Word) shall flow out of your belly as well.
