One rightly divides the word to
establish doctrine. Once established, one may proceed by properly applying what is read.
God can use any scripture to teach us a spiritual truth or "life lesson" should He so choose. He calls men to preach from the writings of Jeremiah and even Moses. He teaches us of His nature and attributes from Isaiah and Job. Much of the Psalms are very comforting and encouraging to us today, and yet they often speak
doctrinally of Christ and His future kingdom.
Where God speaks to you individually is up to Him. But you must know that He won't lead you contrary to the perimeters (doctrine) that He has already established for you and me today. Should one feel led to apply someone else's doctrine, they had better "try the spirits whether they are of God."
