The Holy Spirit

Part 5

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit!

What is the Anointing?

The anointing is the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit operating to accomplish a God given purpose in your church, your community, your ministry, and your life.

GOD Needs You!

God wants to work through you to minister to the lost and the hurting. Without the anointing of the Holy Spirit, there is no power from God operating in your life. The Holy Spirit knows what is needed in every situation.  He is the power to accomplish what is needed. He will guide and give you what is needed for each person you minister to. It could be a word of knowledge, a word of wisdom, a gift of healing, discerning of spirits, or the gift of a miracle. 

Are You Available?

The cost is great! It will cost you every thing. Everything you are in yourself. When we are full of ourself we cannot hear from the Holy Spirit or obey Him. We do what we think or someone has told us to do. Or, we may hear from the Holy Spirit but can we obey Him?

God Pleaser or People Pleaser?

Are we concerned with what people think or what God has told us to do. The choice is always ours. Ministry is dying to self  and putting on Christ. It is  a love so deep for God that there is nothing that compares or touches our soul. We live and breathe to be pleasing to the Lord. Intimacy with Jesus is a love and thankfulness for what He has done for us.

What Is Dying to Self?

If you don’t  understand dying to self, my teaching is available on ‘Putting on Christ. ‘

Galatians 5: 19-21. These scriptures describe our human or fleshly actions.  We are  not to do them, that is what dying to self means. We are to operate in the Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5: 22-23. This is the character of Christ. This is His behavior.  Study it and behave in it. This is Putting on Christ.

It Is Worth It!

It is so worth it. The cost is great, but as you walk in His anointing and see what He is doing you will be in awe. This is truly Heaven on earth. God touching  lives and changing them. Souls being rescued from Satan’s grip. Souls being saved and delivered. Souls being healed from past wounds. Forgiveness given, when they had said, I will never forgive.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one that takes refuge in Him.

Dear friends, I beseech you to consider what God is calling each one of you to do. Surrender your plans for His plans. Move and operate in His anointing and see Him move mightily on your behalf.

Bless you richly as you move in your call and His anointing.
