Christ the Only Mediator Between Us and God

1 Timothy 2:5-6

"5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"

Those who say; "I have a word from the Lord for you" are acting as a mediator. There is no need for anyone else to bring you a message from God when you have Christ living in you.

To bring scripture to us to enlighten us on God's principles is different and needed, but claiming to have a specific and special message from God is not acceptable.

If a man must come to us with a dream or vision from God for us then Christ in us is useless. The person claiming to have a word from God is playing God.

John 3:6, " That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN of the Spirit is spirit."

Claiming to have a special word from the Lord for another believer keeps the focus on the person and not Christ. Anyone who does this is self-exalted.

Taking someone to the Word of God to prove the truth for a specific issue is different from claiming to have heard from God apart from the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.…"
