I heard Sis Nona Freeman preach and tell of the time she was preaching a revival and every night she preached from the same verse with a different thought. I believe only God can give you that kind of dept.

For example, the parable of the Good Samaritian. As I was fasting and praying before teaching my SS class years ago the Lord showed me something about that parable. The next week I had a different lesson, but the Lord again showed me something about that parable. The third week, again I had another lesson, but the Lord showed me again, something about that parable to that lesson. But in my ignorance and not wanting the class think that is the only parable I knew in the Bible I didn't share it and the Lord stopped showing me anything else about that parable. I regret that til this day, but I was young and foolish and too proud!
Thank you. God forbid we depend on the Holy Ghost to help us understand His Word.

Paul said to study. He praised the Bereans for this too. Clearly the bible does not teach us to be stupid and led by the Spirit. God gave us brains AND the Spirit. Why do we need teachers then?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

The human mind conforms itself to its environment. Fill it with good things and it will grow and produce good things. Fill it with bad things, and you get a predictable result (Luke 6:45)

Fill it with nothing... well, you still get a bad result (Mark 7:21).
