The Anointing #2

I have found in my study of the Anointing that there are different levels of the Anointing the Lord gives for fulfilling His purpose. As well I discovered that there are times when people try and function in things they have not been anointed for. Some how they have been decieved and the enemy would have them try and imitate the Anointing. When the Anointing is real life happens. When the Anointing is real there will be fruitfulness. When the Anointing is real the people prosper. When the Anointing is real yolks are destroyed. We as servants of the Lord who anoints us with His presence  must protect the anointing on our lives by staying out of the devil`s traps, tricks, snares, and games. Not long ago the Lord told me that when the anointing falls on surface that is receptive, purpose is concieved and birthed. So I find the more I walk with Him and I am smeared with the oil of His presence He reveals unto me purpose. This then gives relevance to the statement of being anointed before being appointed and David suddenly comes to mind. He was already anointed before he became king of Israel. When I look  back at how I served it prepared me for where I am and now I understand that I am a carrier of the Anointing. I read something interesting the other day that sheperds would do to protect the sheep. The sheep were often attack by ticks that would suck their blood and cause disease. The ticks would crawl into the ears and onto the head  of the sheep so the shepherd would take oil and apply it to head of the sheep so the ticks could not get a grip. Now think  about us who are sheep and think about Jesus who is the Good Sheperd and how he anoints us so that the devil can`t suck the life out of us. Glory to God. (more to come)

The Anointing

I have found that there are people who think the anointing is some speacial talent that they have to be able to do things in church or some speacial gift they have that cause them to think more of themselves than they ouaght to think. The Anointing is the pouring on or smearing of oil on someone or something. Whenever someone was anointed in the old testament it was for a specific task that the Lord had for them to do. Kings were anointed before they begin to rule as well as preist and prophets before they function in that office. Many times objects were anointed signifying that they were holy and consecrated unto God. The Anointing Oil symbolized the Spirit of God and when someone or something was anointed it meant that they or it was consecrated for the Lord`s purpose and his use. At pentecost in Act 2 the Lord poured out his Anointing and empowered the people with the presence of his Spirit and after they became a mighty witness for Him. Still today the Lord smears us with His presence, His Anointing for His purpose to do His will and to glorify Him. His Anointing is the supernatural ability to get what He wants done. In order to preach, teach, sing, pray, heal, witness etc. there has to be the Anointing of God. The Anointing is given by the Lord for His purpose so there is no reason for us to get the big head about what we do. If the leaders would learn how to stay humble we would have more Anointed leaders rather than prideful bigshots puffed up with hot air.( more to come)
