Well said. Personally, I have really come to appreciate the verses in 1 John.
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (1 John 2:20). (
Not suggesting I'm a know-it-all!)
"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" (1 John 2:27).
