What other book throughout history has the certainty and life-changing attributes surrounding it? None!
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 1:
15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a Voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”
18 And we heard this Voice which came from Heaven when we were with Him on the Holy mountain.
19 And so we have the prophetic Word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,
21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
As Peter testified, so can I.
After I was baptized in The Holy Spirit in 1971, my life and outlook changed immediately. My priorities changed and I no longer wanted what had previously been a priority. I had a heart change due to The Word. I had read many books but none had such an effect. The Word had power then and It does now.
I began to hear FATHER speak to me whether you would call It a Word of knowledge or a prophetic Word. HE led me to my first career-oriented job which fulfilled the need I had at the time. HE directed me to every position in the business world even though I did not fully understand the path at the time.
HE sent prophets to me which was encouraging just when I needed it.
HE protected me from the adversary’s attempt to lead me to destruction.
HE delivered me from death five times.
Why did HE do this for me? HE knew my heart towards HIM. I am sure many of you have similar testimonies, some may not be as obvious as others yet here we are.
HIS Word is alive and is life-changing to those who will embrace It. No other “book” can make such claims for they are simply man’s perspectives and opinions based on their limited knowledge. HIS Book is based on unchanging, everlasting Truth. This is why I focus on It versus any other source. I trust you are doing the same.
