WELCOME! UPDATED 07/06/09
We introduce you to this FREE site and perhaps, for the first time, to the writings of A. P. Adams, Ray and Doris Prinzing, and other spiritually lead authors. Our purpose through this web site is to provide other thoughts and interpretations of scripture as each author has been lead by the Spirit of God. We embrace no denomination or any other type of "isms" that would cause division within the body of Jesus Christ. Other than Jesus Christ, we lift no man, no doctrine, no creed; we do recognize and declare the sovereignty of God and His love for His creation. In this, our "freedom," we speak quite openly on revelation that many denominational organizations are unable to share—"God was (is) in Christ personally reconciling the world (mankind) to Himself —not imputing (counting) their trespasses unto them (sins against them)." 2 Corinthians 5:18-20. Before you even began to live, you were set FREE to receive all that God had/has purposed in your life. This is Spiritual Truth and is testified by scripture "For God SO LOVED the world...." John 3:16. (Reference Romans 5:8-19; Colossians 1:19-20). We take a further step in this "freedom" and quote John Whittle, from his book, man alive(1), "On the whole men know nothing of the dimension of spirit, though we are spirits, the very offspring of God who is called in the Bible 'the Father of spirits.' This unity is so clear a fact that we can expect to live a life of true spontaneity in which, to borrow a daring phrase of Norman Grubb's, 'We forget God and live!' I couple that statement with the declaration from St. Augustine, who sounds equally shocking when he says we are to 'LOVE GOD and do as we please!'" It is clear that these writers had received revelation and that Christ, the Anointed One fulfilled God's purpose in the reconciliation of His creation. God through His love IS manifesting His purpose, righteousness by faith and not through the law. Once human pride is removed the whole matter is on a different plane—"believing instead of achieving." ( Romans 3:27-28 J.B. Phillips Translation). As each person surrenders themselves to the Lord they move out of death and into Life. In this freedom each child is given the ability to manifest faith and love: remembering that without Love a child of God "is nothing"
We expand this awareness of "freedom in the Spirit" as we quote from Arthur P. Adam's book, The Spirit of The Word, chapter titled, "We are God's Workmanship.” Adams writes, "The so called fall of man and redemption as its consequent, are a part of the original plan of God—they are steps in the carrying out of that plan; in fact God controls and directs 'all things' to the furtherance of His own councils." Again we state a truth that prior to the foundation of time God loved His creation and although He "penned" mankind into "disobedience," (Romans 11:32 - J. B. Phillips Translation - 1972) or "unbelief." [KJV] He called into being the redemption of that creation through His Son, Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah, The "Lamb of God." We continue the expanded illumination of "freedom" by referencing the writings of Ray and Doris Prinzing and especially their book, The Triumphant Way, Chapter 2 , GOD'S TRIUMPHANT PURPOSE. In addition we also encourage the searcher to feast from our recent posting of the Prinzing's A People With a Purpose. Although written a few years back, its focus is centered in "present truth."
The Spirit of The Word, the name we have adopted for this web site, declares two truths: #1. "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life."— Jesus, and #2. "The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life."— Paul. We search for life and accordingly we embrace the Spirit of Truth, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." John 16:13. Prior to Pentecost and certainly following the giving of the promise of the Father (The Holy Spirit and all Spiritual gifts), the Spirit has moved upon God's children with signs and wonders—no different than today. Although the institutionalizing of denominational religion has seemed to cease the movement of the Spirit, in reality, we find through the centuries that the Spirit has manifested the glory of God by those who have surrender themselves to His covering, to the intimate embrace of divine love. In all the writings that we present we ask every reader to please seek the leading of the Holy Spirit and allow the Spirit to move and challenge your thought process. In this challenging let it be an instrument of bringing you to a greater intimate communion with the Lord. Hold dear to your spirit, "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4:3-6. The song of Love through a heavenly Sound is calling the Bride of Christ to come into unity and in that unity we are given the pleasure to pray for Israel—to pray for Jerusalem.Our wish, our prayer for ALL—freely come to this site—freely receive ALL that the Spirit gives, and then freely leave— leave more free than when you first entered.

THE WHISPERS OF HIS REDEMPTION
The Spirit continues expanded revelation through Ray and Doris and in this next presentation we share a heart beat from Ray as stated in the Preface. Ray writes, "The wonder of God's tremendous purpose being wrought out through the ages, with the subjection of creation to the bondage of vanity, and then the ultimate deliverance there-from, is so glorious; it leaves one fumbling for words to tell, and at best, we can only speak forth "The Whispers of His Redemption." With Paul we can truly cry out, 'O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!' [Rom. 11:33]. Ray continues to share a message of acceptance of "present truth" and in so doing expands the continuing Redemptive work of the Lord.

SPIRIT OF THE WORD ― A. P. ADAMSIn reviewing the works of A. P. Adams we find the Spirit leading Adam's writing into the depths of "present truth" for his day. Today we find that the same application or awareness for yesterday, applies today. Many of the awareness of 1885 are basically the same today. Change has occurred and the Bride of Christ, the Body of Christ and or His Church are being shaken, and as we are being processed through divine transition we "work out our salvation." We are updating all of Adam's writings with newer software for easier reading , printing, and where necessary correcting some of the errors that we have found. We have changed the use of Roman numerals for current numeric coding on Bible chapters etc.; however we have not altered Adam's language of his day. In the QUESTIONS ? frame below the Bold type listings are those chapters that have been improved. It is our intent to offer a complete 8.5X11 inch book of Adam's work: perhaps this September.
