AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Have often been super amazed, incredulous . . .
naysayers like to rant that [paraphrased] when John the Beloved ran out of ink at the end of Revelation, God quit speaking to individuals directly and only speaks via the printed Scriptures, period. No Holy Spirit beyond having birthed the Scriptures.
Yet, I know of few Christians who have NOT had the expreience of a verse of Scripture jump off the page highlighted vividly and emotionally by Holy Spirit in answer to an intense burden that had been a matter of recent prayer for some time.
There's nothing functionally that different
from Holy Spirit highlighting a Scripture as a specific pointed answer to a specific prayer
vs
Holy Spirit speaking directly to the inner man in God's still small voice; through tongues and interpretation; through a prophetically gifted person.
But they rarely see the connection.
I thank God for the gifts He has given to me, and I pray that I am worthy.
