The pattern I'm going to talking about comes mostly from Gal. Chapter 1. But is mentioned through out the Pauline Epistles and other scriptures. You should read Gal. 1 until it is indelibly written in your heart.
Patterns are all through out scripture, Jesus for example; you cannot imitate Jesus of Nazareth, that will not work. You are not Jesus, you are unique in your very own expression, so imitating Jesus doesn't work. What we can do is follow the pattern Jesus sets. As a result if you are going to follow patterns in scripture, you cannot pick and chose which patterns you will or will not follow.
The problem in going deeper with God begins with how we are going to do it. What are the methods? What is the pattern? We are a very strange people about patterns.
We are willing to take the patterns we want out of the Bible, but we easily reject the ones we don't want. I have always been that way. I have been loud and long on certain patterns I have used. I have used the pattern of Jesus healing the sick any number of times in meetings, and I believe that He has healed them as a result of my doing that.
I have told lame men to walk, as Jesus did, I have told them to throw down there crutches, as He did, I have told them to rise up in the name of Jesus, and they did and were healed. I have used the pattern again and again. I have anointed with oil according to the pattern. I have laid hands on the sick, according to the pattern. I have used anointed cloths or blessed cloths. I have used the pattern right the line.
Everything I knew to do, I did. I did not equivocate or hesitate.
I have used the pattern in salvation. When it comes to being born again, I have preached from almost every occasion in the Scriptures were people were saved, presenting to man the same methods for salvation as presented in the Scriptures. I've gone into detail explanation of Jesus and Nicodemus, of Jesus and Mary of Magdala, of Jesus and Zacchaeus,of Jesus and the dying thief.
I have gone into detail speaking of Paul dealing with the jailer and of Peter, James and John dealing with the jailer.
But now, we leave the free gifts and start talking about going deeper with God and what step is next.
We believe the next step for the church is for the HolySpirit to reveal Christ in you.
If we are going to know how to receive this revelation of Jesus Christ, we ought to stick to the word and receive the revelation according to the scriptures, just as we do in salvation and healing.
