Teach me Thy way, O Lord

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Psa. 86:11 ... Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 




What I am going to say now may be shocking and may seem wrong but please keep reading I you will see how much I love scripture when it is given by the Spirit of God.

==========

You cannot follow a scripture unless God has given you that scripture by His Spirit.

I know many pastors today who try to follow the following scripture and end up begging others for money because they don't have money to do this scripture.

Mk. 16:15 ... Jesus said ... Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


If you back up to verse 14, you will see Jesus was speaking this instruction to his 11 apostles ...

Mk. 16 ... Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.  15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

This scripture might be used as instruction today if the Holy Spirit speak it to an individuals.

But I know many pastors today who have tried to use this scripture to justify their many works.  But they do not have money to pay for their works and they begin to beg for the church to pay for them and they use this same scripture to extort money from the church.  In such cases as this, they were not sent by God.  If they were sent by God, HE would go before them and provide for them in that work.  If the Lord is our shepherd (if we are following HIM by HIS Spirit) we shall not want.  We see the Lord is not their shepherd for they depend on humans to give them money to pay for their works and they extort money by trying to force humans through misuse of such scripture.

So you cannot blindly follow scripture.

When the Holy Spirit gives us that scripture then we set about to do that scripture.

To try to do a scripture without it being authored by the Holy Spirit is like the flesh trying to make New Year's Resolutions.  It won't work.
