Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
If we begin reading the Bible in order to look for a message to share, we are in serious trouble.
We should not read the Bible looking for something to speak. Instead, we read the Bible and eat our food for ourselves, having our fellowship with God HIMSELF. Then after we have fellowship with God we can share that fellowship we had with God with others who are of God. Then we have a message to speak. But when we look for something to speak we end up being wise in our own eyes rather than hearing directly from God or from associating with God. And we glorify ourselves becoming wise in our own eyes.
John 7:18 ... Jesus said ... 18He that speaketh of himself (of his own thinking) seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Jesus heard from God and spoke that.
The Holy Spirit in us hears from God and speaks that.
This glorifies God.
When we hear from God and speak that, we glorify God who showed us this concept.
