The anointing you received from Christ
lives in you (1 John 2:27 GW).
When will the Lord's people, who have the
Scriptures and who know the Scriptures so well in the letter, when will they
come to realize and to recognize that if truly they have been crucified with
Christ, if they have died in His death and have been raised together with Him
and have received the Spirit, they have Light in their dwelling? "The
anointing which ye received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one
teach you, but... His anointing teacheth you concerning all things" (1
John 2:27). When will believers, when will Christians, come to realize that?
Why must Christians who have the knowledge of the Scriptures in the letter, run
about here and there to seek advice from others on matters which vitally affect
their own spiritual knowledge? I do not mean that it is wrong to get counsel,
wrong to know what other children of God of experience think or feel about
matters. But if we are going to build our position upon their conclusions, we
are in great danger. The final authority and arbiter in all matters is the
Spirit of God, the Spirit of the anointing.
We may get help from one another, but I do
hope that you are not going to build your position upon what I say now because
I say it. Do not do that. I do not want you to do it. I do not ask you to do
it. What I say is: listen, take note; and then go to your final authority Who
is in you if you are a child of God, and ask Him to corroborate the truth or to
show otherwise. That is your right, your birthright, the birthright of every
child of God: to be in the light of the indwelling Spirit of Light, the Spirit
of God.
