Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

Matthew 4:4 ... Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Exhortation:  Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet


The magnificent thing is this:  We who belong to God have been given the Spirit of God.  The Spirit of God reminds us of the Word of God so we can know what to do and how to focus at a specific moment in time.  All we have to do is focus on that word.  Thus we end up living by "every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" when we live by that word given us by HIS Spirit.

I Cor. 2 ... for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For 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. 12Now 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. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

The Spirit of God searches the heart of God on the issue at hand a reveals to us the "heart of God" so we can know the will of God in that matter in which we are currently dealing.

Thus we pray:  "Please show me what to do ... please show me YOUR will in this situation."

And then we simply wait until we are persuaded the Spirit of God has shown us the will of God.  And we believe the Spirit of God will show us the will of God in the matter at hand, especially when we ask God to show us.

4 things the Spirit of God does:

- teach us all things (Jn. 14:26)
- remind us of all that Jesus has said (Jn. 14:26
- guide us into all truth (Jn. 16:13
- show us things to come (Jn. 16:13)
