THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
IN PROPHETS AND APOSTLES |
|
The work of the Holy Spirit in Apostles and Prophets
differs from His work in other believers. He imparts to Apostles and
Prophets a special gift for a special purpose. |
|
Truth hidden from men for ages, and which they had
not discovered, and could not discover by the unaided processes of human
reasoning, has been revealed to Apostles and to Prophets in the
Spirit. |
|
The Revelation made to the Prophets was independent
of their own thinking; it was made to them by the Spirit of Christ which
was in them -- and was a subject of inquiry to their own mind as to its meaning.
It was not their thought, but His. |
|
No prophetic utterance was of the Prophets' own
will, but they spoke from God, and the Prophet was carried along in it by
the Holy Spirit. |
|
It was the Holy Spirit who spoke in prophetic utterance;
it was His word that was upon the Prophets' tongue. |
|
The Holy Spirit in the Apostle taught not only the
thought (or "concept") but the words in which the thought was to be
expressed. |
|
The utterances of the Apostles and the Prophets
were the Word of God. When we read these words we are not listening to the
voice of man, but to the voice of God. |
