In the local Church in 1 Corinthians 12 we are encouraged to esteem the weakest amongst us and elevate them to learn from them. Such is always the spirit of a true New Testament Assembly where there is a dependence on others in the body of Christ, even the weakest, who we should esteem as indispensable!
More than that we should consider the very Spirit of the living God to be greatly needed, so much so that if He is not present it is vain to meet together as the Church.
“The Holy Spirit does not come to entertain, to provide signs and wonders and miracles just to thrill us or make us feel good. No, every one of His workings has this divine purpose: I’m preparing a Bride. The work, ministry and mission of the Holy Spirit is singular: It is to wean us from this world, to create a longing in us for Jesus’ soon appearance, to convict us of everything that would blemish us, to turn our eyes away from everything but Jesus, to adorn us with the ornaments of a passionate desire to be with Him as His Bride!”
This dependency on the Holy Spirit and crying out for fresh infusions of His grace needs to be a core principle for the gathering of believers who are meeting under the Headship of Jesus Christ.
