We Are ANOINTED Of GOD!Welcome to another JESUS Day... It's another amazing privilege granted ME by the Spirit of GOD to share the Truth of the Gospel of CHRIST with you; Yes, 👉 YOU!
It should be clear to every believer that GOD doesn't anoint with PART of Himself but ALL of Himself.
The Scriptures are replete with the authenticity of my exegesis:
📖John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth NOT the Spirit BY MEASURE unto him (JESUS).
The Holy Spirit is not a mere PROPERTY that GOD gives in bits; He's a Divine Person. This is because the Holy Spirit is the personification and manifestation of all of God's Presence and Power.
This understanding should help you appreciate who you are in CHRIST and the GREATER ONE Who indwells you.
As a believer, you house the Totality of God. You are the domicile of divine content; the very headquarters of Heaven lives within you. You are far from ordinary, therefore, you should stop seeing yourself as such.
You are not "anointing-less" (so to speak); you have been anointed by GOD. It's not until Olive Oil is poured on your head before you come to terms with the fact that you're anointed.
What makes it more amazing is that we were not anointed by mortal men but but the Immortal GOD Himself.
📖2 Corinthians 1:21 Now HE (GOD) which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and HATH ANOINTED US, IS GOD
In other words, we have all it takes to get the job done. We carry all the required abilities to both change and frame our world. We have the ability to influence our sphere of contact, making it a Christ-Conscious UTOPIA, as it were.
📚 A UTOPIA is a world in which everything and everyone works in perfect harmony.
But how does GOD anoint?
This may sound like a primitive question yet it is so profound in every sense of the word.
To be able to understand how GOD anoints and what He anoint with, we need to look at how He anointed JESUS.
Why JESUS? He is God's Sample Son. He is God's Standard of Imitation, Emulation and Perfection.
All eyes must of necessity look unto Him if all things must become clearer. Looking unto JESUS and focusing only on Him is how clarity becomes a reality.
📖2 Corinthians 3:16
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
So, let's look at how and with what GOD anoints:
📖Acts 10:38 HOW God anointed Jesus of Nazareth WITH the Holy Ghost and WITH power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
How the Father treated the SON is how the Father treats us too. We are all ONE BIG BLESSED FAMILY. (📖John 16:27 📖Heb 2:11)
GOD anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth:
👉 With The Holy Ghost &
👉 With Power
If you understand this you wouldn't need to go to mountain 🗻 to fast unnecessarily asking and seeking for "power".
The question should be, "Have you received the Holy Ghost?" If your answer is emphatic yes, then, power has been made available to you. You are endued with power already.
📖Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high.
They stayed and they were endued.... JESUS' promise never fails:
📖Acts 2:4 And they were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Power comes with the Holy Spirit.... It's part of the package 🎁. It's like a snail with its shell. Where the snail goes the shell follows. So once you receive the Holy Spirit, POWER follows naturally.
(Please see 📖Acts 19:1-6)
What you need to understand is that receiving power and releasing the power are two separate things.
I heard someone say that we need to activate the Holy Spirit to go to work on our behalf. I laughed because I knew this was ignorance talking. Whether he was sincerely ignorant or deliberately confused I know not which is which but this one thing I know, he was wrong.
The Holy Spirit's power (ability) in you may be dormant but the Spirit Himself can NEVER be dormant. And that power is dormant because you have not been properly educated to give it expression.
This is one very vital fact that you must understand and that is that "You don't stir up the Person of the Holy Spirit"!
Why can't we?
He, the Holy Ghost, is GOD... and last time I checked you couldn't stir up GOD even if you wanted to. His Divine Essence forbids external input.
📖2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and WALK IN THEM; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The phrase "walk in them" means that He would perambulate in them (those who would be saved by FAITH IN JESUS).
📚 To PERAMBULATE means To walk about, roam or stroll.
So how can Someone (The Holy Ghost) Who carries out such Activity in us require any stirring? He doesn't need it because He is always active in us. And this activity is a deliberate act of love and duty to the New Creation man.
Apostle Paul said:
📖Philippians 2:13 For it is God (the Holy Ghost) which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
How could He need a stirring? He doesn't and would never need it, otherwise He would be dependent on the motivation of mortal men for His omnipotent expression and manifestation, which would be preposterous.
You can't improve GOD
You can't manipulate GOD
Neither can You box GOD!
So what was Apostle saying in:
📖2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
At first glance, you could conclude that the GIFT OF GOD mentioned here is the Holy Ghost. But that is far from it. It is easy to refer to the Holy Ghost is the "gift of God" mentioned here but is that really what Apostle Paul was trying to communicate to TIMOTHY his son in the Faith?
The phrase "gift of God" appears in several places in the New Testament and they all refer to different things depending on exactly the intention behind Apostle Paul's communication.
For example:
👉 JESUS is referred to as The gift of God in 📖John 4:10 📖Rom 6:23 📖2 Cor 9:15
👉 The Holy Ghost is referred to as The Gift of GOD
📖Acts 2:38; 8:20; 10:45; 11:17
👉 Spiritual abilities are referred to as the Gift of GOD
📖Rom 1:11 📖1 Cor 12:1
👉 Eternal life is directly to as the gift of God 📖Rom 6:23
👉 Righteousness is also referred to as the gift of God
📖Rom 5:15-17
👉 Salvation is also referred to as the gift of God 📖Eph 2:8
(And the lists goes on and on)
So what kind of gift was Apostle Paul referring to in 📖2 Tim 1:6?
He was dealing with the PROPERTIES of the PERSON of the Holy Ghost! How can I prove it? See next verse:
📖2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.
Did you notice the word "given"? That sounds more like he is mentioning the gifts we have received from Abba Father In Christ Jesus:
👊 Power
♥ Love
💭 Sound Mind
Now these PROPERTIES of the Holy Spirit, which we received at New Birth, are what needs to be activated and stirred up not the PERSON of the Holy Ghost which is in every way GOD Himself.
This is why Apostle Jude wrote this:
📖Jude 1:20 AMP: But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit.
The POWER of the Holy Spirit in you is what needs stirring because it can be dormant but not His Person. However, this POWER is stirred as you FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The Power for Dominance (to take charge of your sphere of contact and the world at large) will remain dormant until you take time to FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
As you spend time fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, as dictated by the Same Spirit, you lubricate yourself. You ooze GRACE when you step out. This is self servicing! WOW. Glory to GOD!
Hear what JESUS told the Apostles:
📖Acts 1:8
AMP But you shall receive POWER (ABILITY, EFFICIENCY, and MIGHT) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
POWER here being DUNAMIS in Greek is translated to mean "dynamic ability to cause or effect changes" in the English language.
Never think you are powerless
Powerlessness is only a thought (a dangerous thought at that) however, Abba Father gave you the exact opposite..... Sound Mind.
Think Dominion
Think Ownership
Think "I Can" thoughts only Not because I said you can but because JESUS says you can!
