Luke 5:27-28

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet


Luke 5 ... 27 And after these things HE (Jesus) went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom:and HE said unto him, Follow me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed HIM.

Who called us?  Who spoke to us to give us understanding?  Who revealed HIMSELF to us?

Follow HIM ...

Mt. 4 ...  8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

God gives us THE WORD.

Satan comes to steal the word from our hearts.  Sometimes Satan will use a portion of the word to try to get us to turn from that Word God has given us.  This is persecution "for the word's sake."

But we must turn to God when this conflict happens and allow God, by HIS Spirit, to settle the truth in our hearts and we must continue in HIS truth as HE has given it to us.

As The Word is established and re-established in us we follow HIM, serving HIM ONLY.

I Cor. 2 ...  9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For 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. 

12 Now 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.
 
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:for they are foolishness unto him:neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
