THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Part 1
The Anointing of God
is The Holy Spirit. He flows as a river of love, from
the throne of grace, through the hearts of believers, bringing life to all that
receive His touch.
God anoints people that love Him more than they love their
own lives, and that love others as themselves. As we open our hearts to love
others God’s anointing flows through us. When we close our hearts to others and
grieve the Holy Spirit the flow stops.
Keep
thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Prov.4:23
The anointing 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.
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
anointing is given to preach the Gospel to the poor.
The
anointing is given to heal and restore people.
The
anointing is given to proclaim freedom to the captives.
The
anointing is given to open blind eyes.
The
anointing is given to set people free.
The
anointing flows in God’s timing and proclaims God’s timing.
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 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.
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.
And
they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his
own house.
Matt.
13:57-58
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of
your feet.
Matt.
10:13-14
