From yesterday (3/8/08):
Word
I have come and was obedient unto death that men may be free from sin and bondage, and that they may walk in liberty by My Spirit. If I, the Lord, have made you free and have put My Spirit within you, who can keep you from the truth? For by My Spirit are all things possible to them that believe and I tell you no man can take from you what I the Lord have given you if you do not allow it. For those who have put on the mind of Christ, though they are tempted, stand strong and endure that they may be given a crown of life.
I have called you unto righteousness and truth, that you would walk with Me and never leave your first love. I desire to speak to you and give you all that you need even as I do this day. Hold fast, My son, let all of My promises be yes and amen to you, that you may see My faithfulness daily and proclaim it among My people. Look not to the left or to the right and lean not to our own understanding for My ways are higher than your ways. Learn all of My ways for I do desire that you live your life holy and separate unto Me that I may teach you My paths. Have faith and forget not these words I write upon your heart. Be anxious for nothing and posses your soul in patience. My peace is your covering and I am with you always. Let patience have her perfect work in you that you may be entire, wanting nothing. If you trust in Me and live by the words of My mouth, I tell you, you will see My glory revealed. Be faithful in all that I put before you and cease not from praying for I desire that you and the church be edified. Cease from your own labors and enter in to My rest in the Spirit. There is much I would have you to do for My name's sake.
Epehesians 2,3
Let us all go unto God with ears to hear and a heart that seeks after His own.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Amen Ryan.
I wonder, just what were the things that were not lawful for Paul to say. What does that have to do with anything? Everything!
I believe that Paul, Peter, John, James, Jude and others had a "higher" walk that allowed them to receive, understand and believe more of what the Holy Spirit spoke. They were full of the Holy Ghost. We who have faith and are baptized with the Holy Spirit have access to that same level of Spirit, wisdom, understanding and truth. I believe that the Holy Spirit will show us things that belong to Jesus and give us the understanding, the word says it is so. If what Paul saw was a mystery to us, and we ask the Father, would the Holy Spirit reveal it to us if we ask?
The question becomes; could I ask in faith believing I received? With out faith you can't please God or receive anything from Him. How many times did Jesus rebuke the apostles for being faithless, yet they (especially those mentioned that we have record of), withstood the rebuke and continued to love God more and more. After they were baptized with the Holy Spirit they continued to grow in faith and understanding, becoming the writers of the New Testament, the Apostles of "Doctrine". Consider that faith works by love and their love grew despite rebuke, adversity, receiving from God by the Holy Spirit. Should we be any different?
When people leave sound doctrine for an easy doctrine they lower their standards of what they believe is acceptable to God. They left their first love, the love of truth. Should God reward that?
As it is written: I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. And again: I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
