SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED BY THE HOLY GHOST
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. — John 16:12
One rule in the study of the scriptures is this: while the applications can be many, the interpretation is one and can only be one. The Bible interprets the Bible. There is no need to err therein because the Author of the Word has come to teach us all things: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:26)).
What are the “many things” that Jesus had to say to the church? Words of Life from the very Throne of God: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you” (John 16:13-14). The Words that Jesus was talking about is what we know as the written New Testament!
How did the writers of the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John remember the Words of the Lord? The Holy Ghost brought all things to their remembrance,"He...will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"(John 14:26). Where did Romans, Revelation, Galatians, 1 Peter, and the rest of the New Testament come from? The Spirit of Truth heard these words at the Throne of God and spoke them to Peter, Paul, John, and the others and they were faithful to write them down.
Is God still speaking today? Yes, but only that which is in absolute harmony with the scriptures! Even at that, you could transcribe word for word that which is true but you will NEVER add another book to the Bible: “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book” (Revelation 22:18).
The Church of Jesus Christ was birthed some two thousand years ago by an Anointing that is Eternal and has been in building ever since. This anointing is one and the same with the Voice found from Genesis to Revelation. The true church will recognize no other voice because it believes that ALL of the New Testament should be in Red Letters for it is truly that which is proceeding from the mouth of the Lord!In other words,Jesus had many things to say in John 16:12 and now we know what he was talking about if we will study our Bibles.It is a living foundation that has been signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Ghost once and for all!!

Prophecies must clarify the Word of God not change it, there is no new direction. You are right, what we need is in the Word!
