Daily Bread - Jan 12 2007
2 Peter 1:21 - "For prophecy did not come at any time by the will of man but was brought forth under the Holy Spirit as holy men of God spoke."
It was through prophecy that the Word of God came. Prophecy is the utterance of the Holy Spirit brought forth through the mouth of man. When men are totally yielded to God they may come under the control of the Holy Spirit and be a mouthpiece for the Holy Spirit to speak. This utterance may be so exact that it may be called the Word of God. Such influence and control of the Holy Spirit would be likened to the utterances given to the 120 on the day of Pentecost. They so came under the divine influence and control of the Holy Spirit that they had no control over what they spoke. They spoke as the Holy Spirit gave them the utterances (Acts 2: 4).
Blessings,

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
