When we walk with God we develop a relationship with him which is unique and personal. When I was converted 42 years ago, I had such a transformation all I wanted to do was go to Bible college but God said NO!
My Bible college was my cowshed!
God met me there every milking and we developed our relationship on the coal face of me working on the farm with him.
God asked me lots of questions and shared many amazing truths as we walked and talked around the farm.
Learning how to walk with Him separately from walking with a denomination was a challenge as I am not a rebellious wandering sheep :). I have had many AHA moments which clearly validate the scripture in 1Jn 2:27
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
I John 2:27 NKJV
