Here's another question. Has God ONLY spoken what is written in the Bible, or has He spoken words in addition to what is recorded there?Here's the question. Is this spirit telling you something different than what is in the Bible, or reiterating something already there?
We know from what is written in God's inspired Word that there were prophetic words and tongues and interpretations spoken by Christians in the churches because Paul addressed this in 1 Corinthians 14. These words spoken by these Christians were inspired by the Holy Spirit, but they were not recorded for us to read. I assume that we don't need to know what God spoke through these Christians, or the Holy Spirit would have moved on men to write them down for us. We know that the Apostles spoke words that were not recorded in the written Word.
Indeed, Paul said to desire the spiritual gifts, but especially that we may prophesy. I take these Spirit-inspired words of Paul very seriously.
1 Cor. 14:1-5-- Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.
