Truth Held in Communion

There is nothing more dangerous than to use the Word when it has not touched my conscience. I put myself into Satan's hands if I go beyond what I have from God, what is in possession of my soul, and use it in ministry or privately. There is nothing more dangerous than handling the Word apart from the guidance of the Spirit. To talk with the saints on the things of God beyond what I hold, is most pernicious. There would be a great deal not said that is said if we were watchful as to this, and the Word would not be used in an unclean way. I know of nothing that more separates from God than truth spoken out of communion with God; there is uncommon danger in it.
