God gives us a vision of what he’s doing and going to do, and that vision is breathtaking.

God Builds Using His Word. God’s Word is the living Word He speaks to us. He speaks through Scripture and every means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture. Some people think they are safe if they stick strictly to Scripture without asking the Holy Spirit to teach them. And yet almost every denomination claims to follow Scripture. Some claim Scripture supports abortion while others claim Scripture supports pro-life. Some claim Scripture supports LGBT+++ while others claim Scripture supports marriage between one man and one woman. Some claim Scripture supports billions of years and evolution while others claim Scripture supports about 6,000 years and a seven-day creation event. For all the above, we could substitute the word “science” for “Scripture.” And for all the above, we could substitute “divine revelation” for “Scripture.” Satan is very clever, and the human heart is deceitful and desperately wicked beyond what we can know. So, what’s the answer. God is seeking those who are open to Him. Satan is saying, “Has God really said that?” God has promised that those who diligently seek Him will find Him. Those who depend on human intellect to understand the will of God will be deceived. They will not make spiritual progress. As we seek Him, He will teach us and correct us. Satan has controlled culture and much of the church for a long time and has used these to build strongholds in our minds. We have preconceived ideas we want to hold tightly. Hold your doctrine loosely. Hold tightly to Christ. Science can indicate what seems to work in the present. It’s a method or technique, but it’s full of assumptions. Assumptions consist of made-up stuff. Only the Holy Spirit can show you what is true, good, and right. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the history of the universe. The Holy Spirit will never say anything to you that conflicts with Scripture, but He may tell you something that will conflict with your interpretation of Scripture.
