• 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. (Luke 4:18-19).

    Receiving the anointing-----2

    Receiving the anointing

    How can we experience and retain the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives?
    Jesus had told the disciples to wait until they received the power of the Holy Spirit. When He came, they knew a new boldness to proclaim the gospel and a new power as they healed the sick and performed other miracles.
    The Holy Spirit had poured the love of God into their hearts. [Rom 5:5] He had baptised them with fire. [Luke 3:16]

    GOD WILL ANOINT YOU FOR BATTLE

    God Will Anoint You For Battle

    As we all know, and as we explained to you in our article titled, “Trials and Tribulations – The Testing of Your Faith,” most people in this life will have to face a certain amount of trials and tribulations, and this includes every single Christian.
    In the above article, we give you all of the main verses from the Bible as to why this has to occur even to Christians who are fully serving the Lord and walking in His perfect will for their lives.
    In this article I want to point out and highlight for you, that even though we all have to go through a certain amount of trials and tribulations in this life, God will still be with you and help you get through each storm cloud that will come into your life. God will not leave you, forsake you, or turn His back on you just because you have fallen into the middle of a severe trial.
    If you are walking in a true full surrender with the Lord where He is now in full control of your entire life, then what you will find occurring as you go through each storm cloud in your life, is that God will anoint you right in the middle of each of these trials. And when God anoints you in the heat of these battles, you will literally have the power of the Holy Spirit Himself flowing and operating through you so you can make it all the way to the end of the trial and come out with a complete victory if that is how God will want it to turn out.

    You need an anointing to minister for God

    You need an anointing to minister for God


    Exodus 40:13: And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
    The priest is to minister to God. What that means is that the priest serve as intermediary and sees to the relationship between God and the people. The priests serve the will of God when it comes to the spiritual link of the people to God.

    TODAY"S ANOINTING

    Living in today's anointing

       
    "Therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, extricating ourselves from all the weight and the sin that easily besets us, let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking firmly to the Author and Counselor Faith, Jesus, who, for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sits at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb. 12:1-2
    Running the race with perseverance, it is only possible if we are under the anointing. What Luke 5:37,38 tells us: "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, because the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill the wine and the bottles shall perish. Rather, new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. "

    HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE ANOINTING

    How to qualify for the Anointing


    It’s one thing knowing how to operate in the anointing, but you can’t unless you’ve first “qualified” for the anointing. What must you do in order to qualify for the anointing? Here are seven things that must be present:
    (1) You must be humble. Proverbs 16:19 says, “Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.” Proverbs 29:23 states, “A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honour.” Basically, to be humble means to be submissive - in submission. It means taking your authority, success, power, talents and independence and yielding them to God. It is the act of deliberately stepping down in order to look upward - to where your help comes from.
    If you are going to enjoy the success that the anointing brings you, you will have to remain humble. By humbling yourself and allowing the Holy Spirit to exalt you, you demonstrate the right attitude. An attitude that’s pleasing to God. James 4:6 tells us that God resists (opposes) the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Humility and grace are a perfect match, and the anointing flourishes in such an environment.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE ANOINTING---2

    The Holy Spirit and the Anointing
    What is the difference between singing songs about God and praising the LORD? What is the difference between saying some prayers to God and communing with God? The Holy Spirit manifest makes all the difference. The presence of the Holy Spirit brings anointing, a quickening, a God breathed encounter.

    John 6:63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

    I would compare His presence to giving mouth to mouth resuscitation. That is as we purpose in our hearts to draw unto God - or when we respond to the call of the Holy Spirit drawing us closer- the Holy Spirit breathes in us and through us. The very life of God Himself flows through our being and we are refreshed, renewed, ignited, full of passion and the love of God.

    There is nothing on earth that compares to the anointing. There is no more powerful encounter or communion. We were created to be filled with God's presence and when we yield to God and He fills us fresh with His Spirit - we are empowered in a mighty way. Suddenly the spirit man within us is large, like a balloon that has been filled with helium.

    We are lifted into the realm of spirit and The Holy Spirit in us leads the way. The first response we have is usually an overwhelming sense of peace, love, joy. Those who are new to God's presence may manifest behaviour that seems strange. For example they may tremble or shake or cry or laugh. The Holy Spirit is the very power of God plugged right into our spirit - a powerful jolt of life.

    Favor From the Holy Spirit and the Three Anointing Levels

    Favor From the Holy Spirit and the Three Anointing Levels


    Who Gets Favor And Anointing And What The Purpose Is
    Living in the anointing is a must in these last days. It is what gives Christians the advantage over the world. Anointing is thrown around a lot in the church and really most Christians don't understand it, but in this article I'm going to be talking about anointing in depth and how to walk in divine empowerment.
    If you have been redeemed you are at 1 of 3 levels of anointing. You are anointed for the purpose to give something to another. Anointing does not mean that you are super religious, super righteous or super blessed. Learn about what anointing involves before you pray for it because you will pay a price for it. There is no me thing when it comes to anointing. The higher the level of anointing the bigger responsibility you will have to the Lord and to others. The higher your calling, the bigger the problem God puts before you to solve for others.
    Isaiah 10:27, says that in that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck, the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat (in the spirit).
    What Isaiah is saying here is that you will be endued with power to destroy burdens and yokes and the bondage of others. This is the works of Christ that we will do in his name. Anointing is ability from God to do things, to change things and to accomplish your assignment. It is a divine enabling. It's when God puts his super on your natural. It is being able to do something you could not do in your own power and you demonstrate that unnatural power.
