The men of God in the New Testament experienced personally the significance of the written Word. All in the New Testament period happens according to the foretold Bible prophecy. John the Baptist placed his ministry upon the promised Word (Jn 1:19-23). Our LORD Jesus Christ based everything concerning Himself on the three pillars of the Old Testament: upon what was written in the books of Moses, in the Psalms and the prophets (Lk 24:44-49). He opened the understanding of His disciples to know the fulfilled Scripture pertaining to Him. Peter placed the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit also upon the foundation of the prophetic Word (Acts 2:14-21). The Apostle Paul referred to the prophetic scripture in Isaiah, when the proclamation of the Gospel took its course to the Gentiles (Acts 13:46-49). In Acts 15 the apostle James confirmed the exposition of Peter in saying, “And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written…“ (v. 15). We should not be astonished that the relevant ministries for our time are also founded in the Holy Scriptures. Why should God change and do things differently? He remains the same and also His ways and actions with His servants and His people. May it be assured to all, we are not following cunningly devised fables, we are also not running after speculations which rotate in the air, we are placed into the plan of salvation ourselves with the God-given ministries.

God does all things according to His Word. Thereby we have the possibility to know what He does. We only need to decide whether we are ready to submit to His will and walk in His ways or if we wish to reject because we cannot submit and agree with what He does. God proves our hearts, knows our thoughts and the attitude we take. Even today He declares the same to each and everyone: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not there, but watereth the earth and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it…“ (Is 55:8-11).

Please remember for ever: God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God,“ – that means submit to what He is doing – “that he may exalt you in due time.“ (1Pt 5:5-6).
