Let’s clear up something. When the Prophets of old and the New Testament Apostles referred to “The Word Of The Lord,” what were they referring to? Did they pull out their copy of the red letter edition of the King James Bible? No. It didn’t exist. The Bible didn’t exist as we have it today. The men who wrote the Old Testament and the New Testament through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, were referring to the actual Word of God coming directly from God. Here are some examples.
“Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle.” (Jeremiah 19:3)
“But the word of God grew and multiplied.” (Acts 12:24)
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation“ (Revelation 3:13)
It’s important to keep this in perspective. Today there are people with the gift of prophesy who gives the word of the Lord to an individual or a Church under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Word is still growing and multiplying. But remember, the prophetic word must always align with the written word of God…the Bible.
