This a sober warning from the Lord regarding the consquences of speaking on behalf of the Lord, lest we lead someone astray.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone can be an author. But if you are a minister of the Lord before you write or speak you need to be sure you are led of God with a message from God, and that you deliver it in God\u2019s time and in God\u2019s way. <i>\u201cYou are not your own\u201d <\/i>(1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB). Therefore, <i>\u201cWhoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen\u201d<\/i> (1 Peter 4:11 NASB).<\/p>\n<p><b>In my own case it took 21 years before the Lord allowed me to release my first book after I began writing it.<\/b> \u201cI never set out to write a book, but it was obviously part of God\u2019s plan. Sharing anything on the Lord\u2019s behalf has serious ramifications\u2014a task never to be taken lightly. Therefore, this book has been a long time in the making, and is the result of a lifetime of in-depth study of God\u2019s Word.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In fact, it has been hammered out on the anvil of my life experiences with the Lord. It also has been confirmed by the lives and teachings of many others, too numerous to mention. Actually, I believe the Lord has been preparing me for this awesome assignment all my life.\u201d excerpt from <b>EPILOGUE-The New You<\/b> May 2005.<\/p>\n<p><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.sourceministries.net\/go\/2020\/11\/epilogue-the-new-you\/');\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.sourceministries.net\/go\/2020\/11\/epilogue-the-new-you\/\">https:\/\/www.sourceministries.net\/go\/2020\/11\/epilogue-the-new-you\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source Ministries \u00a9 2020<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sourceministries.net\/go\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/201879-SMI-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"105\" height=\"85\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOOKS EVERYWHERE . . .
