"I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ." Galatians 1:12 (NLT)
I think this is where we are going wrong today- nobody is getting anything revealed to them by Jesus Christ.
"Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did." 1 John 2:6 (NLT)
Hmm, Jesus had the clothes on His back and no luxuries. No car, no house, and nowhere to sleep at night. He did have signs following: healing, devils cast out, and other mighty miracles.
"...for the Holy One has given you His Spirit, and all of you know the truth." 1 John 2:20 (NLT)
"I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and He lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what He teaches is true--it is not a lie. So just as He has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ." 1 John 2:26-27 (NLT)
The Holy Spirit will teach us everything we need to know.
"But when the Father sends the Advocate as My representative--that is, the Holy Spirit--He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I [Jesus Christ] have told you." John 14:26 (NLT)
"When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future." John 16:13 (NLT)
The Holy Spirit will teach us everything and guide us into ALL truth.
It not about books and getting a bunch of teachers lined up, it's about submitting to God and letting Him do what He said He would do.
That just seems so simple, but why is nobody getting it?
