The anointing you received from Christ lives in
you. 1 John 2:27
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.
