Thank you so much Mike … I have been lazy about reading God’s Word and have been listening to too many false prophets! But my heart said I could reach out to you for help, and I was right.
I have read Rightly Dividing the Word, Wow! I really believe He sets stumbling blocks to see if you will strain a gnat but swallow a camel! It never bothered me how the apostles inserted O. T. verses out of context, I thought it brilliant. I can imagine how some who still wait for Messiah will want to pitch the N. T. against the wall however. They will ignore the many prophecies of Jesus Christ in Isaiah for example, which are crystal clear.
Will definitely read Intro to the Book of Revelation as well as After the Counsel of His Own Will and the Law of Moses versus the Law of the Spirit. Will God’s Strong Delusion Deceive You certainly screams at me to be read! I enjoy your site and your audios very much.
You helped me when I felt confused and saw no where to turn. So many websites, so much insanity regarding God’s word out there. I need to spend more time in the Bible while He is still patient with me.
And truth be told it is embarrasing now, but I was fearful and not confident of my knowledge of God’s word. As you can tell, Mike, I am just starting to get a glimpse of how God thinks and see things and how He works.
So hard to understand it is a spiritual Book but I am coming around, and whenever I go to your site, I get that drilled into my head so I understand to pray before reading the Bible, and now know I need to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit myself, and your documents on the site are also a great Teacher and source of spiritual food. On your tapes I never hear you go on and on about conjectures and dreams and visions; just God’s Word. And that is how we all should be and how we all could get closer to Him. If He sends me a spiritual gift I accept, dreams and visions, too, but that is not what the walk is about. That is not the primary purpose and the last time I asked Him for a prophetic dream, I got sent insomnia. Funny but true, so all I ask now is the desire to read His Word. And I wait in hope for him to deliver me from my sinful nature and my addiction to cigarettes.
There is a verse about seven women grabbing hold of one man saying we will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes. I still smile today when I remember thinking “wow, talk about being desperate to get married!” It is now so clear what the verse means and speaks of the Church with false doctrines pretending to be clothed in righteousness using the name of Jesus Christ thinking it will take away their reproach. I remember how excited, thrilled and joyful I was to understand and still feel that way… like I discovered a great treasure, which of course I did. Praise Jesus.
God Bless You. Thank you from my heart.
