The TRUTH book Volume 1 (PDF) - For My People Ministry

156the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHtake God at His word as though it would be presumption in them. Theypray for the Lord to teach us and yet are afraid to credit the pledged wordof God and believe we have been taught of Him. So long as we come toour heavenly Father humbly and with a spirit to be taught, willing andanxious to learn, why should we doubt God's fulfilment of His ownpromise? You must not for a moment doubt Him and dishonor Himthereby. When you have sought to know His will, your part in theoperation with God is to believe that you will be led and guided andblessed in the doing of His will. We may mistrust ourselves lest wemisinterpret His teachings, but make even this a subject of prayer, andtrust Him, still trust Him to the uttermost, that His Holy Spirit will leadyou to interpret aright His plans and the working of His providence.It was Christ who guided the Israelites through the wilderness. And itis Christ who is guiding His people today, showing them where and howto work (Letter 335, 1904).Selected Messages, Book 2, p. 285Jesus Guided Your Hands.--Who has been by your side as you haveperformed these critical operations? Who has kept you calm and selfpossessedin the crisis, giving you quick, sharp discernment, cleareyesight, steady nerves, and skillful precision? The Lord Jesus has sentHis angel to your side to tell you what to do. A hand has been laid uponyour hand. Jesus, and not you, has guided the movements of yourinstrument. At times you have realized this, and a wonderful calmnesshas come over you. You dared not hurry, and yet you worked rapidly,knowing that there was not a moment to lose. The Lord has greatlyblessed you.-- Testimonies, vol. 8, pp. 187, 188 (To the medicalsuperintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, 1899).SummationGod has promised us that if we lack wisdom, He will give us wisdom. He haspromised that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth.ConclusionA person does not need to be a prophet to be inspired. Joe Crews was guidedby the Holy Spirit in what he wrote. Prophets are not the only ones who are ledby God. Everyone who asks for the Holy Spirit and prays for guidance canexpect this promise to be fulfilled. The Holy Spirit can inspire anyone, indifferent ways, who is willing to listen to Him and obey. This in no way dilutesthe significance of Ellen White’s ministry. She was clearly a prophet of God asErnie’s dreams clearly point out below. Let us remember that prophets, who arejust as human as those who are not prophets, are simply carrying out a specificgift of the Holy Spirit.A View of Heaven and a Message for His People, December 10, 2006He then told me that He instructed His prophet, Ellen White, to writeabout our worship.The Mailroom, July 24-27, 2007He then writes in the sky and tells me to read and share what He hadHis prophet, Ellen White, to write.
