Rick Joyner:
With all its different theological camps, the church has become like the proverbial blind men and the elephant. The one who found the leg was sure the elephant was like a tree. The one who found the tail thought that was ridiculous; the elephant was like a rope! The one who found its ear thought that the other two were both mistaken; the thing was like a great leaf. They were all partially right but totally wrong. They could never identify the elephant until they listened to each other and combined their understanding.
The wise psalmist declared, "The SUM of Thy word is truth" (Psalm 119:160). Each of us may have a part that is true but it is not the whole truth until it is properly fitted together with the other parts of the body of Christ.
Understanding and interchanging with the different camps of Biblical interpretation can help us to receive the good without stumbling over the bad.
Those who know the Spirit of Truth will have the confidence in Him to do this.Unfortunately, those who are the most bound by fear, who need the interchange the most, will seldom have the confidence in the Holy Spirit to do this. Those who are bound by a control spirit will have more faith in the devil to deceive them than they will have in the Holy Spirit.
