Holy Spirit Leads Us Into All Truth

Next time someone says to you, "This is what that passage means to me", repeat God's word back to them. It doesn't matter what you want it to mean; it only matters what God meant.

2 Peter 1:20-21 "20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation. 21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

There are factions of false Christianity that base their beliefs on what they want God to say and not on what He actually said. They change the word of God to fit their own desires.

 
1 Corinthians 2:13 "And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words."

1 Thessalonians 2:13 "And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is also now at work in you who believe."

All born-again believers have the Holy Spirit, and everything the Holy Spirit tells us will align with God's meaning in the Bible. If something we hear in our head does not align with the Bible, then it is not from God but from the evil one.

 
John 16:13 "However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come."
