The Holy Spirit does not gather saints around mere views, however true they may be, but He always and only gathers them around that blessed Person who is the same “yesterday, and today, and forever” (Matt. 18:2020For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20); Heb. 13:88Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)).
We can be certain that Satan and the flesh will try to resist this work and this path of the Lord. It calls for a good conscience, quietly waiting upon God so that we may recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit, who can lead only to that one gathering Center, which is Christ.
God wants us to know His truth. The Holy Spirit will open our eyes to see and will penetrate our heart and conscience. He will draw us into this position of liberty with the heart broken and humiliated. But oh! what joy!
