There are certain people today called “cessationists” who believe that some of the Spiritual gifts of God, listed for us in the Scriptures, are no longer valid. But that theory is anti-biblical. And they will use 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 as one of their main sources for this theory of theirs. But, when taught in the correct biblical context, their theory does not “hold water.” For in the last days (now) God will pour out His Spirit on both male and female, and they will prophesy (proclaim God’s Word), and will have dreams, and see visions (see Acts 2:15-18 and Joel 2:28-32). Test them. Yes! But don’t disregard all.
Now, to be honest, the only reason that I am on the internet is that 21 years ago the Lord called me to this ministry, some through dreams and visions, and some through the passage in Habakkuk 2:2-3, but all through the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking within me showing me the way that the Lord had planned for me from even before he created the world. But the cessationists would have none of that. They would tell me that God doesn’t speak to us that way, but only through the written word of God. And if I had listened to them, instead of to the Holy Spirit, I would never have come to the internet.
So, let’s look at what that would look like if I had ignored God’s calling upon my life, and if I had listened to the cessationists, instead. And none of this I am mentioning is of my own doing, nor could it ever be, but all this is of God, and of his working in my life and through me for his glory. So there is no pride in any of what I am going to share with you, for all this was God working through me as I yielded to his control, and I did what he said, and I said what he gave me to write and to share with the people on the internet.
In a way, this is kind of like one of those “if you had never been born” kind of stories where they show you what the world would look like if you had not existed, and if you had not had the impact that you had on the people of the earth. Only this will be looking more at the kinds of things which would not have happened if you had not listened to the Lord, and if you had listened to other humans, instead, who were teaching the Scriptures out of context, and who would tell you that God cannot speak to you in that way.
So, this is for all of you who have heard the Spirit speaking within you, showing you the way that he has for you, and the gifts and ministries he has for you, but who have been shot down by cessationists who tell you that God doesn’t work that way, and that God can speak to you only through the written word. But the written word does not say, “Sue Love, I am calling you to write down what I talk with you about, to the best of your understanding, and to post these writings on the internet for a ‘herald to run with it.’”
And, again, none of this is of me or of my flesh or my doing. I just listen to the Lord, write down what I hear him say, and I post it on the internet. What happens before, during, and after that is in the hands of God, not mine!
Over the past 21 years the Lord has given me over 10,000 documents to write, and/or to record, and to post on the internet, now on seven different internet sites. Some of them are/were dreams and visions (primarily at the beginning), which were primarily used as parables. Some of them are songs, some are poems, some are memes (devotions), and some are video talks (not writings), but they have writings to go with them. And a few were testimonies in the form of short books. Most of them are me sharing my times of fellowship with the Lord and what I am hearing from him.
Now, at first, I didn’t even know if anyone was reading, viewing, or listening to any of these, for I got few responses, until I discovered “Stats.” And then I realized that people from over 100 different nations were/are viewing these documents or videos, and these posts were getting a large number of reads, even if I did not get many responses. And that encouraged my heart. But did I do this? No! God did! He just did it through me, but it all came from him, and I am just the messenger. So all the glory goes to God and not to me.
But think with me a moment on this. What if I had listened to cessationists, and not to God. None of this would have happened. None of these over 10,000 documents would have ever gone out to people in nations all over the world. And most of what I write about is the gospel of our salvation, and I share what I am getting from the Lord in my times with him in his word each day. So these presentations of the gospel would not have reached the people of the world, either, well not through me, anyway. But so many people today are not teaching the truth, but lies to coddle people in their sin.
So, don’t listen to the naysayers who tell you that God no longer speaks through dreams and visions, or through other sources that are not specifically the canon of the Scriptures, and that he no longer uses some of the spiritual gifts he provided for his people. The Lord even uses cockroaches and lady bugs and spiders, in what they represent, in what they are doing, kind of like dreams, as symbols of what the Scriptures talk about, and to let me know what he would have me write about that day. And none of this is antibiblical. For they can be just like the kind of parables that Jesus spoke.
But we need to be aware that the devil will try to counterfeit God and his voice and his messages, so we need to test everything we believe is of God against the Scriptures to make sure that what we are hearing or seeing does not contradict the Scriptures and their teachings. But don’t limit God to just the canon of the Scriptures, for Jesus did send us the Holy Spirit to indwell us, to teach us all things, and to counsel, to encourage, and to warn. So, we have to be able to hear the Spirit speaking within us so we know God’s calling on our lives and we know what he wants us to do and to say.

The Spirit of the Sov’reign Lord on me;
Anointed to preach the Good News;
Sent me to bind up the brokenhearted;
Proclaim freedom for the captives.
He sent me to preach release for pris’ners
Who are walking in sin’s darkness;
Proclaim God’s grace to all men who’ll listen;
And tell them about God’s judgments;
Comfort all who mourn;
Give crowns of beauty;
Oil of gladness and thanksgiving.
They will be called oaks of God’s righteousness,
A planting of our Savior, God,
For the display of our Lord’s splendor, and
They will rebuild God’s holy church.
God will renew them, and will restore them,
And you’ll be called priests of the Lord.
You will be ministers of our God, and
You will rejoice in salvation.
The Lord loves justice;
He is faithful to
Reward those who are seeking Him.
I delight greatly in the Lord;
My soul rejoices in my Savior, God.
He has clothed me with His salvation,
And in a robe of His righteousness.
He has given me priestly garments to wear,
As the bride of Jesus Christ.
As the garden of our Lord and Savior,
He causes us to grow in Him.
He makes righteousness,
Praise, and thanksgiving
Spring up before all the nations.
