P. 77

Yet, like this man who came to visit me, we have those today that say, "All we really
               need is milk. All else is a waste of time." This is great error. Let us go on to maturity.
               The Father has mysteries that He wishes to reveal to us. There are things that have
               not been formerly heard that He wishes to declare.

               There are some who do have ears to hear today, yet a common reaction they get when
               they share what the Spirit is revealing is that their words are heresy. Their words are
               not what has been heard and declared in Babylon. They are speaking truths that have
               been lost, and revelations that have yet to be expressed, things that have been hidden
               and concealed until the last days. Do not write all such things off as heresy. At least
               be as the noble Bereans and search the scriptures to see if these things be true. Do
               not say, "But this is not what my preacher has told me", or "My parents did not
               believe this way", or "My church holds to another doctrine."

                       Luke 11:9-10
                       "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;
                       knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives;
                       and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened."


                       James 1:5
                       But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
                       generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.


               There is much truth being unveiled in this hour, and every truth is new to man at
               some point. Do not declare something to be heresy unless you have first tested it by
               the Word and by the Spirit. Yet there is much deception and heresy present today.
               The saints must discern the difference between the true and the false. Look at the
               following two scriptures side by side and you will see the narrow path that the Elect
               must walk.


                       I Thessalonians 5:19-21
                       Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But
                       examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good...

                       I John 4:1
                       Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether
                       they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the
                       world.


               We are not to despise prophecy and thereby grieve the Spirit, but we are to examine
               everything carefully. Do not throw out a word or teaching because it is new to you,
               but also be aware that there are many false prophets and every word must be tested
               to see if it is of the Spirit of Truth or the spirit of error.
