1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
This scripture has become very relevant to me after Ray passed. Too many folks run around looking for teachers but if we are one of his sheep and hearing his voice what need have we of teachers? Especially when few to none are known. I adored Ray but truth be told I learned nothing from him and neither has anyone else. God quickened the teachings to our ears and opened our eyes to perceive and understand. No man is able to do that.
Many years ago I stumbled across [or thought I did at the time] Ray's paper on tithing. I was firmly in the church system and one of the primary teachings was tithing and I did so religiously. But Ray totally exposed that and blew apart that false doctrine with his teaching and bookended it so that I simply couldn't argue with it even though I tried.
Several months later when I was bored one day I returned to the website and started to read the first section of the LOF series and within 10 minutes I thought Ray to be a heretic. What do you mean there is no hell? Jesus talked about it many times, etc. I simply thought that even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then and relegated Ray to having one home run and striking out on everything else. So I rejected what I was reading and went on my merry way.
Again, several months later God drew me back to the website and I started to read the LOF series and the scales fell off my eyes and then I started to listen to the various audio recordings that he did and the rest was history. The material is out there and available on the website as is some of the tentmakers materials and some other people. God will draw whom he will and open their eyes in his timing. So God used Ray greatly but Ray really didn't teach me anything. I don't look for teachers, pastors, evangelists or prophets etc that people in the church system seek.
God will get us all where we need to be and when we need to be there. It would be great if God raises up another teacher like Ray and maybe someday he will or perhaps there are a few out there expounding on what Ray taught or even going far beyond what he taught. I'm not aware of any but perhaps there are but I don't personally seek them out. If we are hearing from the Shepherd as we are supposed to be it is enough.
