One Word…One Teacher

Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. It’s cold but beautiful, and if I didn’t see it for myself, I might have doubts that this was the sunrise over the farm on this wintery morning. I expect to find beauty in each day, and I do. When I stepped into His Presence this morning I expected that He would supernaturally speak to me through His Word and He did. When I pray, I pray BELIEVING in Supernatural results from a Supernatural God! I Believe in miracles and I’m not afraid to ask for them because I serve the God of Miracles. I Believe that sometimes the Holy Spirit will “manifest” in His people and that we can see Miracles up close and personal. The Bible says faith is “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” and that pretty much sums up my Life. I experience so many things that many miss out on because I Believe in what I do not see and I anticipate the Miraculous! Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?

The older I get, and the deeper into my Faith I walk, the more I wonder why One Version of Truth isn’t enough for all of God’s people. Instead, there are different denominations that contradict all the others because they each have their version of the Truth based on what man concludes. They argue and divide over their own interpretation of His Word as if God has enlightened them more than everybody else. But the God I Serve is more than able to shed Supernatural Light onto His Word so that ALL His people can be “of one accord.” Instead, we divide over words and launch a new church down the street that “got it right” so that we can set everybody straight on what we believe God meant to say in His Word instead of what He says. I Believe that my One True God could Supernaturally Instruct us with One True Word and that the Holy Spirit could guide us ALL in the same Direction using the Same Bible IF WE ALL relied on the Supernatural Power of the Holy Spirit to show us. Unfortunately, so many people live as if they don’t believe the Holy Spirit has any power today whatsoever because that’s what they’ve been taught. Who would want to walk a PowerLESS Journey of Faith?

I keep things simple. I Believe what the Word of God says and what the Holy Spirit teaches over any man no matter how long he’s been teaching or where he became indoctrinated…and I always will. I “test the spirit” as I’m instructed to do and I don’t accept every word I hear in blind faith. I run from “false teachers” and “false prophets” because they have no place in my Journey. I don’t believe in an ala carte approach to Truth and I never will. The Bible tells me to “have nothing to do” with those who “have a form of godliness but deny its power” so I step away from them and pray that one day their veil will be lifted. It all comes down to this…I don’t know everything, but I know Who does. I’m no expert, BUT I know Who is. With a soul that longs to Know Him and a Heart that Trusts Him to teach me, I can’t go wrong.

How about you?
