Getting a Powerful Anointing

JOYALMINISTRIES

 

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38)
"As He sent me, so I send you." (John 20:21)
Have you ever seen a man of God in action operating in the gift of working of miracles? Usually, its all over in a few seconds! A few words of command are uttered in Jesus' name, and the person discovers they are well again! What a wonderful way to glorify Jesus Christ! And it seems to happen so simply, so quickly. But at the same time, another man or woman says similar words over a sick or suffering person, and nothing seems to happen. What is the difference? The difference lies in the action of the Holy Spirit. It is actually the Holy Spirit who works the miracle.
Think about it. The same words are spoken. In one case, a miracle takes place, in another, nothing seems to happen. Perhaps over time if this continues, doubt and frustration begin to set in.
If the Holy Spirit does not work with us, nothing is going to happen, and we will dishonor the name of Jesus. Jesus is the Christ, which means, the Anointed One. Like Jesus, we need to be anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus did no miracles on earth before he was anointed with power, and neither will we.
The Bible says we have an anointing - but how strong is it?

Anointing Versus Life

Dear Christian Friend, did you know that there is a difference between having the anointing of God and possessing the nature of God? Are you aware that most believers today cannot tell the difference between the two? What about you? Do you know the difference? If not, please take a few moments to read this pamphlet.

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...

Luke 4:18

Just knowing the magnitude of His investment can make a difference to our walk with the Lord. When we realize that God doesn't operate by gender, class or race, but by anointing, we're freed from bondage, traditions, and limited thinking.   Paul said: "For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints." (Eph 1:17-18)

FACTS ABOUT THE ANOINTING

1. Anointing makes the difference in the ministry. Without the anointing you will be among the rest and not among the best. 2. Where there is anointing, there can be no annoyance. Anointing subdues all the works of the flesh and shuts-up the mouths of the opponents against you and your ministry. 3. Anointing can be lost through sin, pride, carelessness and negligence. Samson is a good example of this. Without carefulness, watchfulness and self-denial, it quickly leaks away. 4. Anointing must be kept fresh always. Leave the oil in a place for a period of time and it dries up. You must do everything to preserve the freshness of the anointing. There is always the need for constant check up and renewal.

5. Anointing can grow stale. You will always need fresh anointing everyday. Yesterday's anointing can never be sufficient for today. 6. Anointing does not make anyone reckless. Character and personal growth will keep you longer in the anointing and without them, recklessness and exuberance will ruin you fast. 7. Growing anointing demands efforts and sacrifice. Your level of anointing will continually rise as long as you are ready to pay the right price for it. 8. More than the anointing, you need the Holy Spirit Himself. He is not only the personification of divine energy, but a wholesome person that desires our fellowship, communion and interaction. His presence will always produce greater power in your life.

What are we here for?
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.
We already know that the bible says that God does not want anyone to perish but wants all to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
We also know that the only way people are going to hear about Jesus and be able to experience Him is if we tell them,. See Romans 10:14
So now then what are the tools we need as believers to effectively communicate our message?
Most Christians would agree the most important tool we need is
Love…
The apostle Paul said if we love we have fulfilled the whole law. Galatians 5:14
Arguably we also need:
Faith
Knowledge of the word
Boldness
OK…all those are true…and we need all those…
But what I want to talk about now is probably the most powerful and most misunderstood characteristic of the effective Christian witness.
Have you ever heard the same scripture explained by 2 different people and from one it had an impact and from the other it just fell flat?

The Anointing Makes the Difference---3

The Anointing Makes the Difference

  Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 23 "Also take for yourself quality spices — five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, 24 five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. 25 And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil. 26 With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; 27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; 28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base. 29 You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy. 30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests. 31 "And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh; nor shall you make any other like it, according to its composition. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you. 33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on an outsider, shall be cut off from his people.'"
INTRODUCTION
Over the years of studying the Bible I’ve noticed that the concept of anointing is very important in Scripture. The first reference in the Bible to anointing is in Exodus 25:6 where the “anointing oil” is mentioned. In that text, the Lord tells Moses to collect an offering from the people, and in the list of things to collect from the people God includes spices and sweet incense for the anointing oil. Think about that for moment. The very first reference to anointing is in the context of taking an offering, and in fact, the offering would contain the substance out of which the anointing oil would be manufactured.
Has it ever occurred to any of us, that one of the keys to our anointing may be what we are putting into the offering? This isn’t the tithe we’re talking about here, but the offering. The anointing oil was created out of the offerings of the people.

OPERATIVE VERSE
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.”
I Corinthians 12:4-6



Anointing:
Hebrew- maw-shakh’ also mishchah Verb (Denotes action, not passivity)

Definition
1. to smear, anoint, spread a liquid a. (Qal) 1. to smear 2. to anoint (as consecration) 3. to anoint, consecrate b. (Niphal) to be anointed

In accordance to scripture, the anointing pertains to the sacred, to the Divine and to things or persons consecrated or devoted to God. The anointing is no toy to play with or something to be used for one’s selfish benefit or self gratification.

“And a voice spoke to him again a second time, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’” Acts 10:15

The issue in this verse is the Lord revealing to Peter that the Lord had made a way for the Gentiles to be saved. But the principle is that we must not treat as common what the Lord as decreed or made holy. Therefore, we must hold the anointing of the Holy Spirit in holiness, in the fear of God and in humility.

But there is more than one anointing. According to scripture that are differences in the anointing, as pertaining to the work of the Holy Spirit. The different operations of the anointing is: The Priestly Anointing, the Kingly Anointing, the Anointing of Suffering, the Anointing of Wisdom, the Anointing of Freedom, The Prophetic Anointing, the Giving Anointing, and the Anointing of Healing.
