The Anointing – Part 10
The Lord has not left us powerless in this life. He has provided supernatural ability for the individual believer and for the corporate body of Christ to grow spiritually and to fulfill the great commission. This power is referred to in the Scriptures as the anointing. The anointing is God’s power in and on our lives. Another way to say this, is the anointing is the operation of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
In this series we are going to look at different aspects of the anointing from the Scriptures. We are going to define what the anointing is. We are going to look at how the anointing operates in the earth, and we are going to look at how we as believers are to cooperate with the anointing. In addition to teaching from the Scriptures on the anointing we are also going to have demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. According to Scripture the idea of knowledge is not just information but also application. Church is the place learning so that when the Holy Spirit prompts you in the anointing to minister in your world you are ready and bold through knowledge to act.
Main Scriptures: Isa 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. NKJV
1 John 2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. NKJV
Part 10 – Every believer has an anointing. The anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit in and upon our lives as children of God. The anointing gives us all the understanding we need and all the power necessary to destroy the yokes of the enemy in our lives and the lives of those around us. In this message we considered Matthew 19:13-15. In this passage we see Jesus demonstrating the Fathers heart toward children. Jesus under the power of the Holy Spirit placed His hands on them and blessed them. Mark 10:16 in the amplified translation states, “He took them in His arms and fervently invoked a blessing, placing His hands upon them. I encourage you to follow Jesus’ example and invoke a blessing on your kids and grandkids!
