Sons To Glory
without strong gut-level trusting relationships there will be no unity,
and true unity is the fruit of an apostolic anointing.
Apostles are taught by the Holy Spirit (Gal. 1:12), as should all
believers. When people learn how the Holy Spirit teaches, I believe
they will begin to recognize His apostles. We MUST be able to
recognize the Lord as He speaks through His Word and through the
“things of the Spirit” (1 Cor. 2:13,14). He may speak through a dream
or a vision or a series of “coincidental” events or a word of prophecy.
However, we must be mature and learn to put those things together as
Isaiah 28:9-10 says: “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will
he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts (immature Christians)? For precept
must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line. Here a
little, there a little.”
Bringing all of these “things of the Spirit” together “here a little” and
“there a little” requires patience and due diligence on our part to make a
record of these things. This way we can bring all of the pieces of the
puzzle together to comprehend what the Spirit of the Lord is saying on
a certain subject or issue. This can be done on a personal basis, a small
group basis, or on a city wide basis. But respecting what God says and
writing down these things that the Lord shows us is very important and
forms a personal or corporate journal from which we can derive
direction. This method of following the Lord will also help us to
discern the callings and giftings on people’s lives.
After Paul’s dramatic conversion, he spent fourteen years in Damascus
being taught by the Holy Spirit. Paul explained to the church at
Ephesus: “I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles. If
indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which
was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me
the mystery - as I have briefly written already, by which, when you
read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ;
which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has
now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets.”
(Ephesians 3:3-5). From this Scripture, we can see that God often
reveals the “big picture” revelations to His apostles. In Paul’s
generation it was the mystery of the Gentiles being included in God’s
