John 14:26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears, He shall speak. And He will announce to you things to come.
v. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will announce it to you.
John 2:27 But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.
Hi Rick, with those Scripture in mind I believe God does reveal truth to anybody that has His Spirit indwelling. Certainly we all have great benefit from what God revealed to Ray, but we also know that Ray spent an enormous amount of time in his studies and often mentioned that he had thought on/meditated for thousands of hours on a subject. So I do believe this is a prerequisite to having the Scripture open up to a person, I guess the more you put in the more you will get out of it. But of course that is only through the Holy Spirit, God gives us the desire and means for that kinds of devotion... Because we know that there have always been religions where people study constantly but never come to an understanding of the truth.
The truth is like a great hidden treasure, a "pearl of great value" that God puts before us, but we must diligently search for it, and then hold onto it above all else.
Mat 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
v. 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,
v. 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Mercy, peace and love
