Ordained to Preach So where do we find these meek ones whom the Lord Himself has anointed (ordained or commissioned) to preach the Word? How do we distinguish them from the rest? When seeking the truth, we should not be looking to world or to the worldly church for the true teachers of God’s Word, such are not to be found there. Babylon (Christendom) has long since fallen and is no longer used by the Lord. Babylon has indeed held…
“The meek will he teach his way” (Psa 25:9) Can we trust any outside sources in our quest for truth, sources found outside of orthodoxy, the professed church? How are we to be sure of any of them? The Lord states that we are to “try the spirits” to test the doctrines from whomsoever they emanate, to prove for ourselves (by the Word of God) whether they speak for God or for the evil one.

“It scarcely seems necessary to emphasize the great importance in overcoming, if we would be of those who will ultimately teach the whole human family how to overcome. It will be readily seen that we must learn how to overcome ourselves, before we would be qualified to teach others the art of overcoming. In His last message to the seven churches of Asia Minor the Lord Jesus made very plain that the receiving of the great blessings which the Father…
