"Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding, or from human initiative. No, these prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and THEY SPOKE FROM GOD!"
As human beings, we are subject to failure, mistakes and errors. The prophets were also human beings and subject to failure, mistakes and errors. That is why this One Truth Today is so important to us as believers. The prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit and THEY SPOKE FROM GOD! That is to say that the writing and scripture did not come from the mind of the prophets or from their understanding or initiative, but, it was inspired by God, who was the real author. That is why we can rely on and trust their words, because they were spoken from God and for God. They are really God's Words, spoken through divine inspiration, by and of the Holy Spirit.
No prophecy ever originated from some man. Man can not will anything to happen without God's will being done. No prophecy came from a human impulse. As the prophets spoke they were moved and propelled by God and the Holy Spirit. What a comforting feeling it is to know that the infallible God used men as His spokesperson. The Words of their messages belonged to God. That is why there are no mistakes, because God does not err. We can make mistakes in interpreting or translating the Words of God but the prophecies of God are never wrong. The bible is SPOKEN FROM GOD!
Where do you stand on the Word of God, the Holy Bible? Do you think they are the thoughts or ideas of a group of men, that are subject to human error? Do you think that only certain parts of the Bible are trustworthy and to be believed? Like Woody Allen, do you just believe in 7 out of the 10 commandments? Do you just rely on the red letter Words of Jesus? Then it is time that you realized the truth and assimilated it into your being. The scriptures, including the words of the prophets are reliable and trustworthy because they are not from men. , These human beings were not the true authors, they were moved and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The truth is THEY SPOKE FROM GOD!
