Everyone has a story to tell but there are things to acknowledged and expressly to be kept off the written page. Typically we resort to “It is written” and this is of little value when the thunder-spoken words are not written in our identity and experience.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

Revelation of John 10:4

It is not possible to find these utterances in the Bible

This episode in Revelation 10 illustrates the important difference between following the Bible carefully as learners and connecting with the Speaker.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

2 Corinthians 3:6
