• 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).

    THE KINGLY ANOINTING-------3

    The Kingly Anointing

    �THEN SAMUEL took the vial of oil and poured it on Saul's head and kissed him and said, Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over His heritage Israel?� � 1 Samuel 10:1 AMP.
     
    The kingly Anointing is the Anointing that ushered people into the office of a king.  It is the Anointing that turned an ordinary person into the king of Israel.  The 2 greatest examples of the kingly Anointing are seen in the lives of David and Saul.
     
    You will notice how King Saul rose to a place of authority through the Anointing.  The Lord sent Samuel to Anoint Saul, an ordinary person.
    You will see how Saul was completely transformed into a different person and was exalted because of the Anointing.

    THE KINGLY ANOINTING------2

    The Kingly Anointing
    Hebrews 2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. Revelation 19:16 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.2 Samuel 5:17 Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold.When God gives you a vision and purpose for your destiny, He also makes available to you the special grace and power that you will need to accomplish it. God has provided 8 different operations of the
    anointing:

    Only The Saved Are In The Lord’s Church

    Only The Saved Are In The Lord’s Church

         In order to be in the one church the Lord established, those added to it by the Lord must be saved according to His requirements.  In Acts 2:47 we read, "And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."  The Lord only adds the saved to His church.  The Lord makes no mistakes.  We are not saved just because we think or say we are.  We are saved only when we have done what God has said we must do.  Jesus says in Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father which is in heaven." We must do God’s will, not man’s will, to go to heaven.

    Coming Back To The Lord

    Coming Back To The Lord
         There are many Christians who have wandered away from the Lord.  We have so much to gain by being faithful to the Lord.  Jesus says in John 14:1-3, "In My Father’s house are many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you."  Also we read in Revelation 21:4 concerning heaven, "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."  Heaven will be a great place beyond our wildest dreams.  There are no words that can describe how wonderful heaven will be.  And it will last forever and ever, time without end.  I certainly want to go there and I know you do too.

    Are You Being Faithful To The Lord Until Death?

    Are You Being Faithful To The Lord Until Death?
    By joyalministries

         Jesus says, "Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10).  The purpose of this course is to encourage the faithful Christian to remain faithful and committed to the Lord.  This course is also to help the Christian who is weak in the faith to become "even more diligent to make your calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10) and for the Christian who has become unfaithful to come back "from the error of his way to save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins" (James 5:20).  Jesus is only the "rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

    Are You Prepared For Eternity?

    Are You Prepared For Eternity?
         Our soul is worth more than the whole world and everything in it.  Scripture quotations are in red.  Jesus says in Matthew 16:26, "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"  Our soul is the part of us that is going to live on forever and ever throughout all eternity.  Jesus says concerning the lost, "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Matthew 25:46).  Everlasting punishment in Hell and eternal life in Heaven will both be forever and ever, without end.  We cannot afford to lose our soul and be eternally punished in Hell.

    Weekly Observance Of The Lord’s Supper

    Weekly Observance Of The Lord’s Supper

         Many people do not want to remember the Lord’s death for us very often since they only partake of the Lord’s supper monthly, quarterly, annually, or not at all.  The excuse is given that they do not want to partake of it more often because it will become too common place and loose its meaning.  But the very opposite is true.  The Lord’s Supper loses its meaning when we choose not to partake and think about it.  This would be like saying that we should only pray two or three times a year, for if we prayed more often then prayer would lose its meaning.  This would be absurd.  Does the Lord’s death really mean anything to us?  But Jesus requested in Luke 22:19, "Do this in remembrance of Me."  Do we really care to regularly remember the death of our Lord?
