[Manna - September 19]
Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy Word is Truth. John 17:17
OUR Lord always links the progress and development
of our spiritual life with our receiving and obeying
the Truth, and every child of God should beware
of that teaching which claims to be in advance of the
Word, and that Christ or the Holy Spirit speaks to
such advanced Christians independently of the Word.
It cultivates spiritual pride and boastfulness, and
renders powerless the warnings and expostulations
of the sacred Scriptures because the deluded ones
think they have a higher teacher dwelling in them.
And Satan, taking advantage of the delusion, leads
them captive at his will. Z.'03-377 R3251:5
