GOD’s Master PLAN
** * * * **
After Christ Jesus changed the course of history by
walking out of the empty tomb, Christ continued to depend on The Holy Spirit.
In fact, He told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they had been
endued from on high. He said they should “wait for “the Promise of The Father…”
(Read Acts 1:4-5).
Jesus was so dependent on The Holy Spirit. He
depended on Him in His ministration on earth. He is not lower than The Holy
Spirit, nor is The Spirit lower than Jesus. There is absolute equality in the
Trinity. Each member has unique purposes and characteristics.
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are
individually and jointly perfect, powerful, and glorious.
The purpose of the Anointing is so that we can
proclaim the message of the Gospel with Power.
The Spirit Of The Lord God is upon me; because The Lord hath
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of The Lord, and the Day of Vengeance
of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the Oil of Joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the
planting of The Lord, that He might be glorified.
Isa 61:1-3 KJV
God has a detailed Master Plan for your life. His
Anointing and His Spirit are included in the blueprint:
For all the Promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen,
unto the Glory of God by us.
Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ,
and hath anointed us, is
God;
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of The Spirit
in our hearts.
2 Cor 1:20-22 KJV
GOD by His Spirit anointed us, set His “Seal of
Ownership” on us, and put His Holy Spirit in our hearts as a “deposit”, guaranteeing
what is to come.
Only those who have received Jesus Christ, GOD’s
Only begotten Son, have the privilege and right to this Anointing.
Not merely at repentance, but once a man becomes a
child of GOD—“born of GOD” then, The Holy Spirit puts on him GOD’s Seal of
Approval (Ownership).
To become born of The Spirit, doesn’t necessarily
mean repentance. Judas repented from his sins, yet he became “the son of
perdition” who betrayed The Son of Man. The Bible even records that ‘in the
last days,’ there are some who profess to be Christians but will become a part
of “the apostasy.”
Our experience of GOD’s Salvation is based on Christ
Jesus, The One Who went for us to the cross. We have been redeemed by His
Blood, by this and also by our confession unto Him, our Salvation is complete.
But how did we receive the reality of our regeneration? That is by the work of
The Spirit.
If the reality of the Word of The Spirit is in you,
a reality so strong, so deep, and so personal, then how real is The One Who
gives it?
People who have deep personal fellowship with The
Spirit, always speak of Christ, and have an unmistakable touch of The Spirit.
GOD THE FATHER has appropriated and acknowledged us
as His by putting His “Seal” upon us. The Holy Spirit in our hearts is GOD’s
‘Seal of Ownership’ of our lives. He is GOD’s ‘Security Deposit’ and
‘Guarantee’ of the fulfillment of His Promise to us.
The Holy Spirit is concerned about your life—even
your future. He wants to guide you, protect you, and even warn you of what lies
ahead (for illustrative lesson read Acts 11:27-29).
The Holy Spirit knows what is happening in your life
and has great concern of you.
Have you made room for The LORD JESUS?
Isn’t it time that you allow Him to order your
steps?
All He asks is a place in your heart.
