• The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

    The Anointing Makes the Difference

    The Anointing Makes the Difference

    “And my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was powerful among you. I did this so that you might trust the power of God rather than human wisdom.”

    COMMUNICATION GIFTS

    COMMUNICATION GIFTS



    Last week we studied the revelatory gifts. This week we will learn about the three communication gifts. They are tongues, interpretation of tongues, and prophecy. Let us begin by looking at the gift of tongues. There are three different kinds of tongues.

    Who Do You Say That I Am?
    Some Thoughts on Jesus
    By Rev. T.Joyal.M.Div....India

    "Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asked his Apostles this question 2,000 years ago, because, at that time, it was a profoundly stirring debate amongst the people of Judea. The question has never died, nor has the world's interest in it -- or has it?

    Activating the Nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit in You

    Gifts of the holy spirit
    Scripture declares that He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and power. The Holy Ghost is the power of God. You can expect Him to take an active role in your life as you experience the nine gifts of the Spirit, the anointing, and signs, wonders and miracles. After Christ’s resurrection he met with His disciples for forty days teaching about the kingdom of God. He told them not to go into the world until they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He said they would receive power to witness in all the world “after” the Holy Ghost had come on them (Acts 1:8). This is significant. Jesus knew what it would take to build a Church the gates of hell could not prevail against.

    The Hebrew word for “camphire” (henna) means “a ransom,” with its root word meaning “to forgive.”
    In the Middle East, a bride applies the spice of henna as a paste to her hands and feet on the night before her wedding. This spice yields a red stain which signifies the ransom of sinners who through the shedding of Yeshua’s blood on the tree.

    ANOINTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE


    ANOINTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

    READ: PSALM 23:1-6
     
    “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” (1 John 2:20). In the life of the believer, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is what makes you stand out from the crowd. The anointing is neither acquired through learning nor practice. Simply defined, it is that which empowers mere mortals to do supernatural things. It is bequeathed from heaven. At a Christian meeting, a professional singer was engaged to sing Psalm 23. It was a beautiful piece and received a standing ovation. Thereafter, an old man requested permission to sing the same song. At the ending, everybody broke down on their knees in tears, crying their eyes out to God. The first was by skill; the latter was by anointing.

    Releasing My Tongue To God

    Releasing My Tongue To God



    Someone has said that "speaking in tongues" is a stumbling block to many Christians, just as the cross is a stumbling block to unbelievers.

    "To people who are being lost the message about Jesus being nailed to a cross sounds silly, but it is God's power to us who are being saved... But we always preach Christ, the one who was nailed to the cross! This is embarrassing to Jews and nonsense to people who are not Jews." (1 Corinthians 1:18, 23) I guess that is the way "speaking in tongues" strikes those who think spiritual gifts ceased after the first century.

    The Prophetic Calling of Saint Paul

    The Prophetic Calling of Saint Paul

     
    Saint Paul was a gifted exegete and a prophet. A man of many talents, he possessed an intimate knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures. As such, he used the Law, the prophets, and the psalms when he preached to argue that Jesus was the Messiah.

    PROPHETIC CALL THROUGH A VISION

    PROPHETIC CALL THROUGH A VISION


    The Prophet Jeremiah's name means Yahweh lifts up, or shoots forth as a bow, establishes or loosens the womb, with the latter meaning alluding to God's forming of man in the womb. "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee. And before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations." (Jer 1:5) (c. 640-587 B.C.) Other men God speaks specifically of setting apart from birth are: 1) Samuel i Samuel 1:17-19 2) Samson Judges 13:2-25 3) John the Baptist Luke 1:15-17 4) Jesus Christ Matthew 1:18-25 5) Paul in Galatians 1:15-16

    CALLING OF PROPHET

    A prophet must be called by God. The initiative in making a prophet always rests with him. It is not a ministry that anyone can take up. Only a false prophet dares to take up this ministry for himself. The true prophetic ministry always begins with a call from God. Isaiah had a very dramatic call (Isaiah 6:1-8). He needed this to sustain him through a difficult and disappointing ministry.
    Jeremiah’s calling came in a specific word from God when he was quite young.

    PROPHET

    PROPHET

    The prophets did not inherit the office nor receive it by human appointment, but were chosen, prepared, and called of God: and the call was often soul-searching (Ex. 3:1-4; 1 Sam. 3:1-20; Jer. 1:4-10; Ezek. 1:1-3).

    I mean we are saved, we would go to heaven if we died so what are we still doing here?
    I think we can all agree that the only reason we are still here is that God wants to use us to lead others to Christ.

    Anointing and Revelation; greatly misunderstood yet greatly needed


    "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of livingwater." John 7:38

    "...When He, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, has come, HE will guide you into ALL truth; for He will not speak on His own authority but whatever He hears He will speak; and HE WILL TELL YOU THINGS TO COME. HE WILL GLORIFY ME! FOR HE WILL TAKE OF WHAT IS MINE AND DECLARE IT TO YOU! All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that HE WILL TAKE OF MINE AND DECLARE IT TO YOU!
    John 16:13-15

    Thank You God for Your Anointing, But I Want Your Glory!

    Thank You God for Your Anointing, But I Want Your Glory!

    "And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory" (Exudos 33:18). Now this is a bold request Moses asked of God. The Word of God tells us, "But, He said, you cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live" (Exudos 33:20). When you are asking for the glory of God, you better be ready to die to your flesh, because it can not live in the presence of God.

    THE FIVE SEALS

    THE FIVE SEALS

    The Gnostics taught and practiced five magical rites which they called the Five Seals. The Gospel of Thomas lists these: "The Lord did everything in a mystery, a baptism and a chrism (anointing) and a eucharist and a redemption and a bridal chamber." These Five Seals are:

    1. Baptism. There were three buildings specifically used for sacrifice in Jerusalem. The first faced west and was called "the Holy." The second faced south and was called "the Holy of the Holy." The third faced east and was called "the Holy of the Holies." The third was a place where only the high priest was allowed to enter. Baptism is the first, "the Holy" building. The Gnostics, like the Christians and many others, used baptism with water as the primary method of purification. The Gnostic rite of spiritual baptism was said to bestow immortality. It was not conducted to redeem sins, but rather as the spiritual Christ descended on the human Jesus when baptized by John the Baptist, so our spiritual self awakens during this rite. In the Gnostic texts, this seal is called Baptism in the Waters of Life.

And living day by day while watching and waiting for the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, the darling of heaven. That is the bride of Christ that Jesus Christ is coming to snatch and rescue to heaven.

    A few years ago, the Lord downloaded revelation into my spirit regarding Elisha and the double anointing (2 Kings 2). The Lord showed me that Elisha really typified how God is moving in this day. Elisha himself was a “businessman,” which helps us understand that one of the hallmarks of this new Church era will be marketplace people being used mightily

    The Anointing and The Powers of the World to Come


    The anointing is the bringing to bear of God's presence and power upon earthly life in its numerous expressions and applications. It is the action and activity of God in and about His universe. Hebrews 6:5 refers to this work as the "powers of the world to come." The anointing entails every work of the Spirit outside the actual transforming process of the work of the cross. It relays the interaction of God with every facet of His creation outside His essential union with His "new creation" in the heart of man. As such, the anointing is the secondary, supportive, and facilitating work of God in the earth.

    THE WORD OF WISDOM

    The word of wisdom is revelation (wisdom from the mind of God) supernaturally given by the Holy Spirit to an individual. The word of wisdom speaks to divine revelation that typically speaks to future events, circumstances and/or situations. Most often word of knowledge and word of wisdom work together.

    7 WAYS TO INCREASE OUR ANOINTING

    Picture

    Where true ministry is concerned we are totally dependent upon the anointing. The Lord wants to anoint all of His servants and every saint is called to be a servant of the Lord. There are many different gifts and callings, but without the anointing they are ineffective.
    For instance an unsaved professional singer can sing beautiful hymns but there is no anointing on it.

    Whereas a saved person with a mediocre voice and a heart after God can sing the same hymn and you will sense the presence and power of God.

    Ever wonder why having a prayer language is important? Here are good reasons to use one.


    1. You know your spirit is speaking directly to God. The Bible tells us, "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God … for if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays" (1 Cor. 14:2,14, NKJV). Praying in tongues can also be like a two-way street. When you pray in tongues, God will often give you wisdom and insight to see better ways of doing what you need to do.

    THE PROPHET SAMUEL

    Samuel the Prophet


    Introduction

    In the Old Testament, the Lord was instructing the children of Israel in dreams and visions to His prophets and priests. There were several periods during which the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord by worshipping idols. During those periods the word of the Lord became rare and there were not many visions. The Lord also delivered them to the hands of their enemies until they repented and returned to Him. He then gave them prophets and judges to lead them to His way and to rescue them from their oppressors.

    Samuel, who was dedicated to the service of the Lord before his birth, became a prophet. He anointed the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David. During his lifetime, the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines. Every year, Samuel used to go on a circuit judging for Israel between Ramah, Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpeh. He lead Israel against the Philistines in Mizpeh.

    The Greek words for "BE FILLED with the Holy Spirit" (Eph 5:18), should be translated, "BE BEING FILLED with the Holy Spirit". In other words, we are to be constantly seeking God so that we will become more and more full of His Holy Spirit. Some people believe that we Christians only receive one infilling of God's Spirit in our lifetime. Such people may be sincere, but they are SINCERELY WRONG. This article is about men and women of God who were not satisfied with an initial token of God's grace or presence in their lives. They were hungry for more, and in their desperation for greater and greater depths in God, they smashed through every barrier and overthrew every obstacle to experience an ever-greater measure of God's holy presence and glory,- and to gain an anointing the like of which has rarely been seen since the days of the apostles.

    5 fold teachers teach truth from the word of GOD by the revelation of GOD through the power of the Holy Spirit. They have a strong heart understanding and love for the word GOD - Being extremely careful to rightly divide the word of God. There are two main types of 5 fold teachers 1. Researchers of truth 2. Teachers of truth. With some having a combination of the two. These 5 fold teachers are committed to and a part of a local church, That over time they will be coved in prayer, be supported, accountable, trained, recognised (other 5 fold ministry is needed as well at this stage), anointed then released by that local Church to begin to function locally, some will function and be accepted worldwide.

Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]. Gal 5:22, 23 AMP

    DAY OF THE LORD


    Day of the Lord


    Some speak of the Day of the Lord as though the armies of destruction are the saints holy anointed. But as Joel will describe, this army refers to the prophetic seventieth week that brings devastation and destruction, evidencing instead the acts of the destroyer.
     The Day of the Lord is forewarned in the beginning of Joel's prophetic message saying Joel 1:15 "Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty."

    Every time Prophet Joel thought of King Jehoram, he would fume.

He knew that the proliferation of evil would be catastrophic to Judah and Jerusalem.

    JOYALMINISTRIES

    Introduction

    Joel means "Jehovah is God." This name occurs frequently in the Old Testament (1 Sam. 8:2; 1 Chronicles 4:35, 5:4, 8, 12, etc.). The prophet Joel was the son of Pethuel. Numerous guesses have been made about his personality. A tradition states that he was from Bethom in the tribe of Reuben. In 1 Chronicles 24:16 a man by name of Pethahiah is mentioned. Some have connected him with the father of Joel, Pethuel, claiming upon this that Joel belonged to a priestly family; but this, as well as other claims cannot be confirmed. Jewish expositors make the statement that Pethuel was Samuel, because Samuel had a son by name of Joel; but, inasmuch as the sons of Samuel were evildoers this is incorrect. The book itself does not give even a single hint as to his personal history.

    THE BOOK OF JOEL

    The Author of the Book of Joel

    Several different Bible characters bore the name Joel. "Not much is revealed concerning Joel; he is differentiated from the other eleven men in the Bible who wear the name, as 'Joel ('Jehovah is God'), the son of Pethuel ('sincerity of God')' (1:1)" (Cates 62). "Nothing is known of Joel's birthplace or biography, his career and personality being shrouded in obscurity" (Robinson 30). "The name Joel means 'Jehovah is God,' or 'Whose God is Jehovah'" (Pledge 212) and is congruent with the theme of God's judgment throughout the Book of Joel.

    RELEASING THE APOSTOLIC ANOINTING

    Kingly and Priestly Anointing
     
    We have a kingly and priestly anointing; however, most saints only operate in their priestly anointing, which is called praise. This anointing points to reconciliation, intercession and worship. We all know how to praise God, sing unto God, and some of us can even worship God. Unfortunately, we are not clear about our kingly anointing. The kingly anointing refers to government, dominion, and authority. This anointing releases power to legislate, constitute, regulate, and rule. When we make declarations in faith we are operating in the kingly anointing. David’s relationship with God and his leadership aptitude demonstrate the kingly and priestly anointing at work. He not only was a king but he was a true worshiper, who desired to be in the presence of God and communion with God

Daniel 6:10 The prayer life of Daniel began in his youth. He set aside a time and place daily for earnest prayers. James 4:8/5:16 both speak of the value of continual emotional and earnest prayers.

    Five Ministry Offices

    Five Ministry Offices In Ephesians 4:11 we see there are five distinct ministry offices held by Elders. These ministry offices are designated according to their anointing and
    their function within the Body of Christ. All Elders in Covenant Global Church operate in one of these ministry offices and their particular ministry
    assignment corresponds with the anointing attached to the ministry office in which they stand. Most fivefold ministers stand in a primary office and may also

    PURPOSE OF THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRIES

    Why is the five fold ministry needed in the Body of Christ? Most of the believers are ignorant of the five fold ministry. This five fold ministry is necessary in the body of Christ to accomplish the plan of God inside the church, and through the church.
    "And he gave some Apostles : and some Prophets ; and some Evangelists ; some pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the Edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come to the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the son of god unto a perfect man, until the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" Eph 4:11-13
    Five fold ministry exists in the Body to fulfill the three major purposes

    The Five Fold Ministry

    The Five Fold Ministry Apostles - Prophets - Evangelists - Pastors and Teachers
    The Bible Says
    But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
      Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
     (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
     He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
     And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

    APOSTOLIC PASSION


    APOSTOLIC PASSION



    joyalministries



    What is "Apostolic Passion?" The term "passion" is used to describe everything from romance to hunger pangs. I don. t know what it means to you, but for me passion means whatever a person is willing to suffer for. In fact, that. s the root meaning of the word. It comes from the Latin paserre, to suffer. It is what you hunger for so intensely that you will sacrifice anything to have it. The word "apostle" means a sent one, a messenger. "Apostolic Passion" therefore, is a deliberate, intentional choice to live for the worship of Jesus in the nations. It has to do with committed to the point of death to spreading His glory. It. s the quality of those who are on fire for Jesus, who dream of the whole earth being covered with the Glory of the Lord.

    Apostolic & Prophetic

    Apostolic & Prophetic Essence

    Apostolic Essence

    The Foundation Stone
    I deeply treasure the terms apostolic and prophetic. They are dear to me. I desire to know, understand, and operate in the fullness of their meaning, as Jesus intended, when He gave them as gifts to us, His church. Only when these gifts are in their proper place in the church, is there a correct foundation laid for the building up of the Body of Christ to attain to that fullness. Therefore, here a some introductory thoughts on the matter.

    THE PROPHET'S WILDERNESS

    THE PROPHET'S WILDERNESS
    The desert experience, or wilderness, is God's mandatory prerequisite to the prophetic calling. A prophetic person
    never looks worse than while he/she is in-desert; and, he never looks better than when he emerges as gold, mature
    in character and ace in prophesying. Even though all Christians experience certain desert seasons, the prophet's
    wilderness is unique in that it is typically longer in duration and broader in revelatory production.

    PROPHETIC CALLING....

    Identify the Signs of Prophetic Calling. If you are called to be a prophet, then you are likely to see a fair portion of the following signs of your calling in your life and experience. Some of these signs apply to any major calling to the ministry. Some signs are specific to the prophetic ministry.

    JESUS IS JOY !!!


    Jesus is Joy!!! "Yes, Jesus smiled; yes, Jesus laughed. Jesus smiled wider and laughed heartier than any human being who has ever walked the planet. He was young. He radiated good cheer. The real Jesus was a man of such merriment, such gladness of heart, such freedom and openness, that He proved irresistible. He became known through Galilee for His genuine strength, the sparkle in His eyes, the spring in His gait, the heartiness in His laugh, the genuineness of His touch; His passion, playfulness, excitement, and vitality: His JOY! He made a dazzling display of love. He set hearts afire. He was an elated, triumphant young man with an incredible quality of life . . . so different from the solemn religious types He constantly encountered...

    SIGNS OF APOSTOLIC CALLING

    Signs of Apostolic Calling....

    What is an apostle? You have all heard the term. You have heard of people claiming to be apostles. You have probably heard about the Apostolic Ministry and the Apostolic Office. You often read about it in magazines. But, what is it? Is there still such a thing as the apostle? Have they not all died out already?
    If there are apostles, how would you recognize one? Just because, a guy stands up and says, "I’m an apostle. God has called me to be an apostle," and they put the word 'apostle' as a title in front of their names under their photograph when they advertise for the conferences and the seminars? Does that make a person an apostle? How do you recognize an apostle? What does he look like? And, is there a ‘she’ apostle, or is this only for guys?

    THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME...


    BELIEVER"S AUTHORITY....

    Most of us here don’t struggle with the fact that Jesus Christ is King and has authority, but many of us here today struggle with the fact that Kingship and authority has been given to every Christians – staggering thought, isn’t it?

    PATTERN OF THINGS IN HEAVEN

    PATTERN OF THINGS IN HEAVEN

    Things in heaven are the pattern for things that are to be on earth. Man being made in the image of God establishes this fact that is borne out across scriptures. Man being made in the image of God makes God a pattern after which man is to follow. Jesus is God—the pattern of God for us to be on earth. He is the first fruits, or prototype of man for all men who are to come after him. He said of all the works he did, that he saw his Father in heaven do them first as a pattern for him to follow after, and do those same works of God on earth that God his Father was doing in heaven.

    IF JESUS WERE HERE RIGHT NOW.....

    If Jesus were right here now . . . Have you ever had such a thought? What would you say to him? What is the most pressing thing you would ask him to heal? Sin? Sickness? Restore a loved one?
