MINISTRY OF THE WORD

The Holy Ghost is the Author of the Scriptures; therefore, when we have any questions or confusions regarding the Word of God, we cannot really ask the 'writer' what he meant when he wrote what he wrote. Rather, our questions must be directed at the One who "moved" or inspired the writer to write what he wrote.
Only the Holy Ghost knows the 'intent' behind the written word. He had something in mind every time he moved the saints of old to write. Again, when we need clarification on what was in God's mind when he said what he said, we must go back to inquire from the Spirit of God.
Jesus declared that the words he spoke were both "Spirit" and "life." (John 6:63). The Scriptures further declare that the "letter" killeth, but the ''Spirit" giveth life (2 Cor. 3:6).
Every time the Word goes forth, it is always backed up by breath or Spirit (Gen. 1:2-3). Behind every Word, there is always breath (ruach in the Hebrew language; which translates to mean wind, spirit, or breath).
As serious-minded Bible students therefore, we must always go beyond the mere written words on the pages of the Bible, to inquire from the Lord for both the intent, and the Spirit behind every written Word. This is how to get the most out of the Scriptures.
This training manual will take you, the reader, beyond the shallow waters, and beyond the letter of the word; it will launch you into the Spirit behind the word, the intent, the integrity and immutability of the Word of God.
Get ready! Get ready!! Get ready!!!
