(1 John 3:17 NKJV) But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
(Proverbs 4:23 NKJV) Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
The anointing Community of the Holy Spirit is given through people to demonstrate God’s love and power. Christ means the “Anointed One”. Because Christ is in us the same anointing that He had on earth we also have.
(Luke 4:18-19 NKJV) “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; {19} To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
1. The anointing is given to preach the Gospel to the poor 2. The Community anointing is given to heal and restore people 3. The Community anointing is given to proclaim freedom to the captives 4. The Community anointing is given to open blind eyes 5. The Community anointing is given to set people free 6. The Community anointing flows in God’s timing and proclaims God’s timing 2. The anointing is given to preach the Gospel to the poor,
to bring the revelation of God’s love to those who are seeking.
God’s Community anointing flows to those who are hungry for a touch from His Holy Spirit. The anointing has less to do with the person that it flows through than it does with the person who receives it, and the One who sent it, God Almighty.
(Luke 6:19-20 NKJV) And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all. {20} Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.
(Matthew 5:3 NKJV) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The term poor here is the Greek word, ptochos which carries the implication of being a beggar, in this case a spiritual beggar hungry for the Spirit of God.
- The anointing can be stifled if the people refuse to receive it from the person that God is sending it through. Things such as pride, envy, bitterness, and unforgiveness against an anointed person can prevent the receiver from accepting it. The anointed person must go to people that can receive it.
(Matthew 13:57-58 NKJV) So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” {58} Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
(Matthew 10:13-14 NKJV) “If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. {14} “And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
But just as His Community anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do]. (
1 John 2:27
AMP) The above scripture gives the key to activate your anointing.
Yes, God does release His anointing through impartation but the real root of receiving that anointing is to:
- Community Abide in Him (live in, never departing Him, pray without ceasing)
- Community is Being rooted in Him, knit to Him (in the Word of God)
- Community walk in Continual obedience (Full obedience, rooted in faith)
PRAYER DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR ANOINTING!
Yet let me clarify, prayer does not increase your anointing. Nope it does not! (Against popular beliefs). Prayer is not a ignition to get the anointing going.
Prayer is what increases the intimacy
in your relationship with God. And no, neither does it make God love you anymore than how much He loved you on the cross, but prayer helps you to tune into that reality of love.
Prayer cuts you from the noise of the world and tunes you to the voice of the Holy Spirit. In this process of being connected to the vine, the anointing/power of God flows in through us (the branches). Anointing therefore is only a by product of prayer.
Some seem to think that more anointed is to do more impressive things. Simply not how God views it. A simple example to explain this is, if God has anointed a person to reach villages for Jesus, that man praying for months is not going to change him into a mega church preacher. His anointing to fulfill his call and purpose does not change with prayer. Prayer only tunes him to fulfill His primary purpose.
THEN HOW DOES THE ANOINTING INCREASE?
Anointing has been described to work in stages. What I believe is that when a person is anointed by God for the working of miracles, his increase in prayer life does not increase that anointing, but what increases with prayer is his sensitivity to understand God direction, guidance or will for the different situations that he faces. Reading dozens of the chapters of the Bible is not what makes you more anointed, but it increases one’s faith to believe God to function in the anointing God has placed on one’s life. It has always interested me that God called His disciples Apostles even before they planted any church. What is more interesting is that the Judas that betrayed him was also in the company of those that were called as Apostles. Anointing is God’s calling on one’s life. Not something that can be bought. How we respond to that call is on us. That means, your anointing is activated from the call you have received and multiplies according to your levels of faith.
Explaining that in
Romans 12: 6. “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
” (NIV)
So in the first place it clarifies what I said earlier in my previous post– there is nothing you can do to deserve God’s anointing. We have
gifts that empower
the body of Christ according to the grace given to us. And notice the second part how a man’s gift is proportionate to the faith in God.
Your
faith
increases by hearing the Word of God, the more you immerse yourself in prayer and faith, the more you are tuned to Him. And the anointing in your life is further activated(to do what you were purposed for) with that faith that is birthed out of the intimacy with God.
Thereby anointing is contagious because faith is contagious. Anointing can be rubbed off, because faith of one man stirs another. So now, go immerse yourself in God and put your faith into action!
We believe there is only one God, eternally existing in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
