if you feel your tongue itch to talk nonsense. By Charles Spurgeon All Scripture is breathed out by God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 16 and 17

take care never to impute the vain imaginings of your foolish heart to the Holy Spirit. I have seen the Spirit of God shamefully dishonored by peopleâ€"I hope they were insaneâ€"who have said that they have had this and that revealed to them. For years there has not been a single week in which I have not been pestered with the revelations of hypocrites or maniacs. Semi-lunatics are very fond of coming with messages from the Lord to me. It may spare them some trouble if I tell them once and for all that I will have none of their stupid messages. When my Lord and Master has any message for me, He knows where I am, and He will send it to me directly, and not by madmen.

Never think that events are revealed to you by God, or you may come to be like those idiots who dare impute their blatant follies to the Holy Spirit. If you feel your tongue itch to talk nonsense, then trace it to the devil and not to the Spirit of God. Whatever is to be revealed by the Spirit to any of us is in the Word of God already. He adds nothing to the Bible and never will. Let people who have revelations of this, that and the other go to bed and wake up in their senses. I only wish they would follow this advice and no longer insult the Holy Spirit by laying their nonsense at His door.

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19, verses 7 and 8.

And now I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20, verse 32.
