Chapter 10: POWER PRINCIPLE 4: THE ANOINTING OF POWER.
Focusing on
1 JOHN 2:27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.

I’m going to focus on the the b Part which says YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN SHOULD TEACH YOU
Should teach you”– they had already been taught the truth concerning antichrist and false teachers – that is the context here. And God’s Spirit was in them to enable them to understand what they had learned. They did not need even the apostles to teach them any new truths, and they certainly did not need false teachers who claimed to have new truth and did not.

John is not denying the need of teachers in the churches. God Himself appoints them (Eph 4:11 And he gave some to be apostles, and some to be prophets, and some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers
; 1 Cor 12:28 And God has placed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, different kinds of tongues.
)
John himself was one of them. The believers to whom John was writing had been taught and knew the truth, but many today have not been taught and do not know the truth. And none of us, no matter how much we think we know, should arrogantly think we cannot learn from godly teachers of God’s truth.
