“Who art thou...What sayest thou of thyself?”~ Jn. 1:22
John had some crises in his short life, but an identity crisis was not one of them. He was ever content being a “voice in the wilderness,” pointing others away from himself and to the Lamb of God. God’s recluse was comfortable in his own skin. He had opportunity to have people believe he was more important than he actually was, but this humble man chose to simply be himself (Jno.1:19-29).
Being considered alongside spiritual giants should not be as important to us as being obedient servants. All obedient saints are spiritual, but many who pass off as being “spiritual” are not among the obedient. “To obey is better...” says the old prophet. I’d rather be Balaam’s obedient, dumb donkey than the disobedient prophet on his back who thought himself to be spiritual and in control.
God will speak to you personally, but not if you’re disguised as someone else.
