The Upward Look

“The anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you don’t need anyone to teach you. Instead, His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you, remain in Him.”
1 John 2:27 HCSB ©

God has anointed the believer with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit abides in the believer and teaches the believer all that is true. As the believer hears someone teach, he is to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s teaching and guidance. Every human teacher should not contradict what God has said through His written Word, the Bible, and revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Lord Jesus, keep me grounded in Your Word. Help me to always compare and confirm what someone else teaches by the truth found in the Bible.
