Call no Human Teacher
By
Dr James A Robertson
One of the issues that I encounter from time to time is the impact of Pastor’s and others putting themselves in a position of being custodians of what they perceive as “truth” in a way that gets in the way of others getting close to Father Yah. In particular, recently I ministered to a young woman who was totally stuck, she knew she needed help but she did not know that she could get help directly from Father rather than going for months trying to find the “right” person to help her. This brought this point sharply into focus for me.
In Matthew 23:8, Yahooshua {Jesus} speaking says “8 But be not ye called Rabbi (teacher): for one is your Master, even the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ}; and all ye are brethren” gives the guideline.
This verse is frequently misinterpreted to be that Yahooshua, who many incorrectly call “Christ” was correcting the people and telling them that only he was the teacher. This is NOT the case, He is telling them that it is the anointing of the Spirit of Yah on every Spirit Filled believer is the teacher and that his (Yahoshua’s) teaching was given to him by the Spirit of Yah upon him. In other words, it is given to ALL of us, even the newest believer, to go directly to the Spirit of Yah to be taught in EVERYTHING.
Yahooshua is also telling us that we are all part of the body of believers, the “one body” that is referred to elsewhere and none of us should exalt themselves above the others or allow others to exalt them. This is easier said than done because it is common place for those with less anointing to exalt those with a greater anointing or a visibly closer relationship with Father Yah as evidenced by clear wisdom, etc.
On one level it is appropriate to give esteem and respect to those who are manifestly close to Yah and who evidence significant wisdom given by Yah, however, IF we allow that respect to get in the way of our own walk with Yah we are making a serious mistake and, a teacher who allows themselves to regard themselves as superior to those they are teaching is getting into very dangerous territory and runs the risk of being found to be a stumbling block when they come to judgment.
A key element of “call no human teacher” is that we all have the liberty at any time to turn to the Spirit of Yah for guidance and teaching, whether we have access to a human teacher or not or if we are not sure that what the human teacher is saying is accurate.
In the same way, when we encounter anything we are not sure of or do not understand or simply would like further information on Father Yah is there to help us. All we need to do is ask in emunah {faith / trust and belief} for the answer with child-like trust that He will answer us.
In my own walk no one told me that I could not ask Father for help. He spoke to me audibly on Friday 12th March 1993 and from that point on I never doubted that Father would answer me or speak to me as required. Shortly after that I took the Bible, held it up and said “Father, these people say that this is your Word, I do not understand it but I choose to believe it and I am asking you to answer all my questions” – I asked LOTS of questions and, over time, every one of them was answered. On occasion, it took years for Father to get me to a place geographically and / or mentally where I could receive the answer but He ALWAYS answered me. I have numerous notebooks from those early years. After eight years He told me that the Bible was NOT His “Word”, only a book compiled by humans, but by that time I was so steeped in receiving my answers from Him directly that the news had almost no impact on me, I just carried on asking Him questions and getting answers.
Early in the process I rapidly came to learn that the “teachers” in the church did NOT have all the answers and, in fact, were in serious error. I found this out by sharing things Father had taught me, being rebuked for my “error”, going back to Father distressed that I was apparently in error only to discover that Father proved conclusively to me that I HAD heard Him correctly and that the Pastor was in error.
After a few years of getting into confrontation with the church and getting kicked out of churches Father eventually told me to withdraw from the church totally. It was only when I ceased looking to humans to teach me that my knowledge of Father started to really grow. Yes, I still received teachings from Humans in the form of articles, webpages, audio teachings, sermons in the occasional meeting, etc but my primary source was directly from Father.
I only got to that point because I had made such a solid decision in 1993 that my intellect and understanding had gotten me into the mess I was in and that I would trust Father totally to lead me, guide me and teach me. Through all the ups and downs of the ensuing 24 years I have at some level managed to hold on to that decision.
As a consequence, I was able to say to the young lady in question with great certainty that she should cease looking for teachers and turn to Yah to teach her. Certainly my website and my ministry is a useful source of considerable information on a diversity of subjects however, I should never become the focus or the benchmark. The benchmark is Yah. My desire is that all who encounter my teachings will draw closer to Yah than I am or have ever been. I have paved the way for others to go further and that should be the desire of every teacher.
A teacher who in some manner fails to equip their students with the knowledge and experience to draw closer to Father and do greater works for Father than the teacher has failed the most critical test of all for any anointed servant. This generation is so far from Father, there is a huge gulf and those who have relevant knowledge and experience in this age should earnestly desire for those who follow their example and learn from them to go MUCH further in their relationship with Yah.
In closing I challenge every person who reads this to set themselves the goal of getting as close to Father Yah as possible and, IF you really value your relationship with Him, set yourself the goal of getting closer to Him than ANY other human being on the planet today – that is NOT a difficult goal, we are all so far from Him relative to what is possible.
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you His peace.
May Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it with regard to everything that I write and publish.
Warm regards and blessings,
