It is amazing that JW's don't realize that each and every one of us at any moment, as the need arises and we are willing, can be used as a Faithful and Discreet Slave bringing light and the truth of the Gospel to those who have come to an end of their own will. We recieve an annointing as God sees fit - not because I say I am.
To the degree of my willingness to be utililized in kingdom work will I personally enjoy the opportunities that God, by his leading, will direct my path to form relatioonships with those in need of salvation and support through trials and suffering.
Truth is the light. Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. As I focus on Jesus (Heb12:2), the Spirit of Truth will guide me into all truth about my given circumstances. situations and relationships. I must continue to "test the spirit" for I am not naive of the devil's schemes.
If faith in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were dependant on a visible "organization", it would not be by faith that I am saved. For trust and faith in God is not something I can see; a person place or thing. We do submit to one another, but only when the leading of the Holy Spirit confirms that the directions from another to be truth and beneficial for all.
What is the key in faithful service and accepting direction from another? Love... Let it rule my heart that I can rid myself of selfish motives.Then and only then can I expect to stand firmly in the light.
