The Anointed Teacher

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. (1 John 2:20-21)

. . . for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. (John 15:15)

Revelation is the only means whereby a teacher accurately conveys the things of God, and that teacher must wait for God to reveal Himself before he speaks. The true teacher of righteousness is careful to speak only what he hears from the Father, just as Jesus was. Herein is the point of separation between the teacher who walks in the anointing of the Holy Spirit and all others. The anointed one speaks what he hears from God, and he speaks in the Lord's authority and no other. Christ alone builds the Church. Christ alone understands the Church. The anointed teacher hears Christ alone, and he only shares what he hears from Jesus – nothing more and nothing less. 

 

Let's Pray - Precious Father, may we teach only by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He is the only authority on earth who can rightly divide Your Word. Thank You for giving us Your Spirit to teach Your children. Amen.
