By Bro. DonBurnell Holly
The Lauderdale Lectures and Ministers' Institute is designed to bring together men and women of God of like precious faith for a serious look at our message and mission to 1) articulate what we believe and why we believe what we believe and 2) seek to unify our speech:
In Matters of Doctrine ........................ UNITY
In Matters of Opinion ......................... LIBERTY
In All Matters ...................................... Love
We are perpetually musing in great expectation and anticipatory splendor pertinent to the 2020 Lauderdale Lectures and Ministers' Institute under the thematic thrust "The Case for the Holy Spirit - Part 2".
The Redemptive and Salvific Plan to Save Man, as conveyed in God's Word is:
1) Initially conceived in the mind of God
2) Sequentially/subsequently given to the Holy Spirit for conveyance/distribution
3) To the Prophets who daily rise early to communicate/articulate God's message to the people of God whose functional role is to Hear, Heed and Obey
Peter conveys that "For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost". [2 Peter 1:21] The methodology by which God communicates His will to His people necessarily includes His servants the prophets; "Surely the Lord will do nothing, but He reveals His secret unto His servants the prophets". [Amos 3:7]
The Prophetic proclamation "Behold the days come says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel":
1) I
nitiated in the mind of the Lord [Jer. 31:31-33]
2) Was witnessed/testified (NASB) by the Holy Ghost/Spirit [Hebrews 10:15-17] and
3) Spoken and written by Jeremiah the prophet [Jer. 31:31-33]. "The Case for the Holy Spirit" conveys the synergistic, cohesive and collaborative functionality of God, the Holy Spirit and the Prophets
