You will never be the same learning about the anointing,
never the same again. The anointing makes the difference, it is the
manifestation of the Presents of the Power of God.
Until Jesus Christ was anointed he did no miracle, but after
he was anointed, watch out Devil “The Kingdom of God has arrived.” In
Power!!!!!!!
The anointing is the Burden Removing, Yoke Destroying Power
of God, the anointing is not chili bumps, it produces goose bumps. It will
produce a physical reaction, but the anointing is essentially the Burden
Removing, Yoke Destroying Power. We saw how Jesus Christ is anointed by the
Father, we looked in Isaiah 61: Isa 61:1 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;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim
the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:3 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.
Then we looked at Peters summation as he preached in the
house of Cornelius in Acts Chapter 10 and he summed up Jesus Christ ministry,
how Jesus Christ began from Galilee and preached throughout, and this he said
was what Jesus Christ Preached.
Act 10:21 Then Peter
went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold,
I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Act 10:22 And they
said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of
good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy
angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Act 10:23 Then called
he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and
certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Act 10:24 And the
morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had
called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Act 10:25 And as
Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and
worshipped him.
Act 10:26 But Peter
took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
Act 10:27 And as he
talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
Act 10:28 And he said
unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to
keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I
should not call any man common or unclean.
Act 10:29 Therefore
came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore
for what intent ye have sent for me?
Act 10:30 And
Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth
hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright
clothing,
Act 10:31 And said,
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the
sight of God.
Act 10:32 Send
therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged
in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall
speak unto thee.
Act 10:33 Immediately
therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now
therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are
commanded thee of God.
Act 10:34 Then Peter
opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons:
Act 10:35 But in
every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with
him.
Act 10:36 The word
which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ:
(he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word,
I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from
Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 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.
Act 10:39 And we are
witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in
Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Act 10:40 Him God
raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Act 10:41 Not to all
the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat
and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Act 10:42 And he
commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was
ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Act 10:43 To him give
all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him
shall receive remission of sins.
Act 10:44 While Peter
yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Jesus Christ preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
the Human Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with Power, how he went about doing
good, healing all those who were oppressed of the Devil, and so Peter summed up
the ministry and the life of Jesus Christ, and the Father liked it so much that
he interrupted Peter’s sermon and poured out the Holy Ghost on everyone who had
heard the message.
God Loves us talking about the anointing on Jesus Christ so
much that when we talk about the anointing, he pours out his presents in
anointing Power. When you read Christ in the New Testament that is a sad
translation, Christ means Christos, the anointed one, the word comes from the
verb Chrio, to anoint referring to the consecration rights of a Priest or King.
Christos translates the Hebrew Messiah.
Unfortunately the transliteration of Christos into English
resulting in the word Christ deprives the word of much of its meaning, because
we read a title, we think that Crist is the last name of Jesus. No His last
name is AM, his Father is I AM, and he is Jesus AM. Christ is not a title, it
describes the anointing and he was not called the Messiah until the anointing
came on him. The anointing equipped him to be what God called him to be. It
would be better to translate Christos in every instance as the anointed one.
That is what God is going to restore to his church. And the
Bible is going to read like a different book than you have ever read it before.
Look at Luke 4 this is after he has been in Nazareth and they rejected him and
they wanted to kill him, he passed through the midst and goes his way.
Luk 4:14 And Jesus
returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of
him through all the region round about.
Luk 4:15 And he
taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Luk 4:16 And he came
to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into
the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luk 4:17 And there
was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened
the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luk 4:18 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,
Luk 4:19 To preach
the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 And he
closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the
eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luk 4:21 And he began
to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Luk 4:22 And all bare
him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his
mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
Luk 4:23 And he said
unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself:
whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
Luk 4:24 And he said,
Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Luk 4:25 But I tell
you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the
heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout
all the land;
Luk 4:26 But unto
none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman
that was a widow.
Luk 4:27 And many
lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
Luk 4:28 And all they
in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
Luk 4:29 And rose up,
and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon
their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
Luk 4:30 But he
passing through the midst of them went his way,
Luk 4:31 And came
down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
Luk 4:32 And they
were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
Luk 4:33 And in the
synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried
out with a loud voice,
Luk 4:34 Saying, Let
us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come
to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
Luk 4:35 And Jesus
rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil
had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
Luk 4:36 And they
were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for
with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Luk 4:37 And the fame
of him went out into every place of the country round about.
Then he went down to Capernaum a city of Galilee and was
teaching them on the Sabbath and what did he teach on the Sabbath? As his
custom was he went into the Synagogue and read, it wasn’t just going into the
Synagogue that was his custom. Reading in the Synagogue and the passage he read
in Nazareth was the passage that he read in every Synagogue. He announced that
he was the anointed one, and he did the stuff.
Look what it sais what happened in Capernaum, Luk 4:32
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. They were astonished at his teaching, for his
word was with Authority. Why? He said, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your hearing, I am the anointed one.” And they recognized the Authority. He is
saying I AM it. Nobody ever had the boldness to say that, except some wierdos,
but now he is saying with Authority, I AM the anointed one.” And guess what, he
backed it up, he backed it up. Verse 33-36. Luk 4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which
had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
Luk 4:34 Saying, Let
us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come
to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
Luk 4:35 And Jesus
rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil
had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
Luk 4:36 And they
were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for
with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
They didn’t say what a wonder, what a miracle, the sign attested
the message, and they said “What a Word.” What a Word! Jesus had said, “I AM
the anointed one.” And the proof of it was that he cast out Devils, and so the
peoples attention was on the Word. They Said,”What a Word.” What a Word. That’s
going to happen, we are not going to get caught up with the signs and the
wonders, the signs and the wonders are going to attest to the anointing and the
anointed one Jesus is going to be exalted, and God is going to say “What a
message.” Of the anointing.
God is anointing men and women to do the works of Jesus. The
focus is going to be on the “Word”, they said, “What a Word.” This is with
Authority and Power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out. The
report about him went out to every place in the surrounding reagions, and then
the story of Peters Mother in Law. Verse 40, Luk 4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that
had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands
on every one of them, and healed them.
He said,” I AM the anointed one” They said, “Way to go, lets
get every sick person in the town and take them, if Jesus is anointed to do the
things that he said in Isaiah 61, lets bring everybody whose oppressed of the
Devil, everyone whoes bound, everyone who needs the healing touch, and so they
brought then to Jesus. What attracted them to Jesus? It was the message he had
preached when he had read Isaiah 61 in the Synagogue that morning. They said,
“Wow the anointed one is here, lets get around him with every sick person.” So
they carried them all. Verse 41, Luk 4:41
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for
they knew that he was Christ.
We read Christ and we think they are naming him, NO, they
are saying, “You are the anointed one.”
Satan, before he fell from heaven is called in the Word of God, the
anointed Cherib. He knew what it was to carry the anointing of God upon him,
and then he rose up, he didn’t want to be the anointed Cherib, he wanted to be
the anointer, and he fell from heaven, but when God said to Eve, there from
your seed one will rise up who will bruise the head, Satan knew it would be
someone who had the anointing, and he warned his devils “When you see the one
who is anointed, Run for your life, He is come to destroy you!” and they
recognized him, they recognized his anointing immediately the devils said,
“Your it, You’re the one, we are afraid of, you are the anointing.” Guess what?
We have the anointing and Guess what? The devils are just as Scared of us under
the anointing of God.
They said, “We know who you are, you are the Christ, the son
of the living God.” Jesus rebuking them, would not allow them to speak, for
they knew he was the anointed one. WOW!! Isn’t that something? The people
said,”Wow, he backed it up in the Synagogues, that morning, he cast out a
Devil, and all the people are bringing all the sick and he backs it up, and
even the devils recognize the anointing.
Look at verse 42-43, Luk 4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went
into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed
him, that he should not depart from them.
Luk 4:43 And he said
unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore
am I sent.
What was he Preaching? He was Preaching about the anointing.
See the Kingdom of God is all about Gods Dominion over the powers of darkness
that held mankind in captivity. Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is here.” What
does that mean? The Ruler ship of God,
the Dominion of God is here. Satan who has held sway in this place is no longer
in control. Jesus said, “I AM the King, and I AM here.” He preached his
anointing, the essence of the Kingdom of God is the anointing that is on the anointed
one. When that anointing functions, guess what? Every Devil has to go, every
oppressive sickness is healed. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and with Power, he went about doing good, healing all those who were
oppressed of the devil.
Something else about the Kingdom of God, wherever it goes as
the anointing is manifested it does good. God is good, and he is honoring his
Word, because he is demonstrating his goodness! In the beginning some may be a
bit gut wrenching, some may cry, and all this junk will come out of a person. Why?
Because God is setting people free, he is releasing people from all the stuff
that has been there. Why? The anointing is functioning, so the first effect of
the river flowing is that it brings up all the debris, all the junk, and that
is not a pretty sight. People need to hang in there, and not be in a hurry to
leave, wait around, to let him finish his surgery.
Matthew 4:23 Mat 4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people. Go
to Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his
mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Act 10:35 But in
every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with
him.
Act 10:36 The word
which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ:
(he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word,
I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from
Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 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.
Peters Significant message as the Gospel goes to the
Gentiles, Peter sums up the Gospel, Verse 36, Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of
Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) Jesus is Lord of all. Why? He is the King of
the Kingdom, He has absolute Dominion, you know how he got it? By being man
see, Man had been given Dominion by God in the garden, but he had given up that
Dominion to Satan, and so Jesus came , and the anointing came upon him, and the
man anointed by the Spirit went and met the Devil in the wilderness, led by the
Spirit, this was a big contest.
The big bully on the block who had held everyone captive was
now facing up to the new King on the Block, and guess who Won? The new King on
the block, and he came out of that wilderness, and he said,”The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me.” He said “Now there is no captive that needs to be held
captive any more, I have defeated, I AM Lord of all.” Yes, he was going to deal
with the sin problem at Calvary. The Enemy was stomped, the moment Jesus
stomped him in the wilderness, under the Power of the Holy Spirit, the Dominion
was gone, that’s why the Devils immediately reacted in the Synagogue, when
Jesus came, they said, “ Are you come to destroy us?” Jesus said, “Yes.” They
were defeated, Satan had been defeated and it just took Calvary to mop it up.
If you understand about deliverance ministry, the greatest revelation is the
finished work of Jesus when it comes to deliverance. Its done, you don’t have to
argue with Devils, you have the Authority over them, you tell them to go!!!!
Its finished, its over, Satan is defeated. Don’t fear him,
we have Authority by the anointing!! Verse 37, Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was
published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism
which John preached; That Word, that Rhema he is saying to Cornelious. Verse
38, Act 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. The
summery, the essence of the message that Jesus preached, about his anointing
and then demonstrated it, and declared it, demonstrated it, declared it, and
demonstrated it and that’s the way God wants to do it Today, NOT just
declaration, but Demonstration, YES!
Don’t preach without giving the Lord a chance to demonstrate
his power and to set the captives free. Don’t
preach just for preaching sake. Its to preach to get the anointing on
the scene to get the captives set free, to let the anointing flow and set the
captives free.
When the Lord is ready he will shut us up and get us out of
the way and do the demonstration of the Gospel! Go Back to Matthew 4: 23-25, Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in
their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all
manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mat 4:24 And his fame
went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were
taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he
healed them.
Mat 4:25 And there
followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and
from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. What a Joyful thing,
look what happened here, people come from all over, Why? The anointing is in
the place, when the anointing is in the church the people will come, when God
is manifesting his Power and his presents, the people will come. If you want to
just have nice sermons don’t expect the people to show up, but if you are
prepared to demonstrate the Gospel and allow the anointed one to demonstrate
his presents, the people will come from all over to be set free, to have their
needs met. This is the day of the anointing to be restored to the church, we
are going to be called Christians, not as a little, but Christians, because we
are anointed ones who talk about the anointing and carry the anointing, and
demonstrate the anointing and the World will say, “There is a difference
between the Christians we Know and Those Christians.”
We’ve lost that, we’ve lost that, every American thinks he
is a Christian, because he lives in America. When somebody who sais they are a
Christian tell them to lay hands on you, to release the anointing on you, if
that embarrasses them, and will really
prove who is a real Christian or Not. If you are a Christian you have an
anointing. Do not say you are a Christian and not be willing to share the
anointing, and lay hands on the sick and
cast out devils, and raise the dead, If you say you are a believer do not
embarrass the name Christian, an anointed one. God is going to anoint
everybody, male, female, every one of his Children.
John 4: 10-42, Joh 4:10
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and
who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of
him, and he would have given thee living water.
Joh 4:11 The woman
saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from
whence then hast thou that living water?
Joh 4:12 Art thou
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof
himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Joh 4:13 Jesus
answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst
again:
Joh 4:14 But
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up
into everlasting life.
Joh 4:15 The woman
saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither
to draw.
Joh 4:16 Jesus saith
unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Joh 4:17 The woman
answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said,
I have no husband:
Joh 4:18 For thou
hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that
saidst thou truly.
Joh 4:19 The woman
saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Joh 4:20 Our fathers
worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where
men ought to worship.
Joh 4:21 Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship
ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Joh 4:23 But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Joh 4:25 The woman
saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is
come, he will tell us all things.
Joh 4:26 Jesus saith
unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Joh 4:27 And upon
this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no
man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
Joh 4:28 The woman
then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Joh 4:29 Come, see a
man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Joh 4:30 Then they
went out of the city, and came unto him.
Joh 4:31 In the mean
while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
Joh 4:32 But he said
unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
Joh 4:33 Therefore
said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
Joh 4:34 Jesus saith
unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his
work.
Joh 4:35 Say not ye,
There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you,
Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to
harvest.
Joh 4:36 And he that
reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he
that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Joh 4:37 And herein
is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Joh 4:38 I sent you
to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are
entered into their labours.
Joh 4:39 And many of
the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which
testified, He told me all that ever I did.
Joh 4:40 So when the
Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them:
and he abode there two days.
Joh 4:41 And many
more believed because of his own word;
Joh 4:42 And said
unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard
him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the
world.
The account of Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman at the
well of Samaria, the first part of the discourse about water when Jesus speaks
to her. Who was it she was talking to? The anointed one himself! Look at verse
25-26, Joh 4:25 The woman saith unto
him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he
will tell us all things.
Joh 4:26 Jesus saith
unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
How can he give her living water? He is the anointed one, by
his anointing. So he said “If you only knew who is talking to you, you would
have said Lord, give it, please give it to me, the living water.” Its
dispensing and imparting the anointing of the living water, just seeing the
water just bubble out of peoples bellies, because of the joy of their
salvation. It is wonderful! He said,” I
will give you living water to drink. Verse 13-14, Joh 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Joh 4:14 But
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up
into everlasting life.
She sais ,”Sir, give me this water that I may not thirst, or
come here to draw.” Then Jesus said to her, “Go call your husband and come
here.” The woman answered verse 15-19, Joh 4:15
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
Joh 4:16 Jesus saith
unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Joh 4:17 The woman
answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said,
I have no husband:
Joh 4:18 For thou
hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that
saidst thou truly.
Joh 4:19 The woman
saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
Now in her first perception she perceived, this sounds like
a Prophet, but as the discours continued she starts to say “Maybe this is the
Messiah, because the key of the sign is he will tell us everything.” Jesus had
just told her the secrets of her heart. Look at verse 25 again, Joh 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah
cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Do
you see the light of revelation dawning in her spirit? This guy told me
everything and I know from the teaching of the Samaritan teachers, remember
they had a different oath than the Jews, but were hoping the Messiah would
come, but their teachers had said the Messiah is coming and they have been told
about the Messiah, is he can tell you everything, and Jesus had just read her
mind and said I know that when the Messiah, the anointed one comes he will be
able to tell me everything. Jesus said,”I AM it.” Which is exactly what he had
said in the Synagogue in Nazareth. “This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your hearing.” HE had no shame and no embarrassment about, about saying “I AM
it.” Why? Because he knew that he had the anointing to back up the claim. Guess
what? Everyone can have that same assurance of the anointing being on your
life, because you are anointed, you are anointed, we’ve been self conscious,
because of the Religious spirits that come against the anointing.
The spirit of Anti-Christos-anti anointing that comes
against you whenever you say I am anointed, they rise up and they say,”Oh how
proud, How arrogant, How can you say you are anointed?” Well the very name
Christian, I am saying I am anointed, see, the devils don’t want you to ever
say by knowledge “I am anointed.”, because they were warned by Satan, “Watch
out when you see the anointed one.”
So now watch what happens, verse 28-29, Joh 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went
her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Joh 4:29 Come, see a
man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
We’ve translated it Christ, but see she was really saying
“Don’t you think this could be the Messiah, because we’ve always been told when
the Messiah comes, he will be able to read our minds and tell us all things
we’ve ever done, and so guess what happens? They head out to see. Verse 30, Joh
4:30 Then they went out of the city, and
came unto him. They went out of the City to come see him, then you have the
interlude of the disciples coming back. Verse 39, Joh 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city
believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all
that ever I did.
The signs and the wonders attest the anointing, the words of
knowledge attest the anointing so that you can believe that Jesus is there to
touch you and to remove your burdens and destroy your yokes, so he will give
you a word of knowledge that only you will know about so that you can know that
this is real stuff, this is the anointing and you will put your faith in the
work of the power of God to remove your burdens and destroy your yoke, so words
of knowledge are precious in the whole ministry of the anointing. They attest
to the anointing. This must be the Messiah, many of them believed, because he
told me all things ever I did, but look what they said. Verse 40-41, Joh
4:40 So when the Samaritans were come
unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there
two days.
Joh 4:41 And many
more believed because of his own word;
What was his word? About the anointing that’s the message he
consistently preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and Power. Verse 42, Joh 4:42 And said
unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard
him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the
world. Why? Because he preached the
anointing and backed it up, he preached it and demonstrated it, they said now
we know he is the anointed one, not because of your words, but we have heard
his word ourselves, not even, just seen the miracles, we heard the word of the
anointed one and we know he is the anointed one, the savior of the world.
Acts 8:4-5, Act 8:4
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the
word.
Act 8:5 Then Philip
went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. Translate
Christ, he preached the anointed one and his anointing, now you know why such
powerful stuff happened, see he preached the word like they went out and
preached the word, and when we hear preaching the word, we think they went out
and said 3 points and a poem, NO, Jesus came and he went to the cross and he
rose on the third day and so on. They did preach the resurrection, but the
essential message of the early church was the anointed one came, God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, and so that you will
believe in him, we are going to demonstrate that power and people come to have
faith in him, so Phillip preaches the Christ, the anointed one, Look what
happens when he preaches the anointed one. Verse 6, Act 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto
those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. So he didn’t
just preach, he demonstrated, that was an essential part, you couldn’t
preach without demonstrating the Gospel. The early church knew that, when you
preached, you just got out of the way and let the anointing do the stuff and
people would believe, what we have done in our western world, we have tried to
convince people with words, so they have put their faith in the words of man,
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2, 1Co 2:1
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech
or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I
determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him
crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was
with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my speech
and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration
of the Spirit and of power:
1Co 2:5 That your
faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1Co 2:6 Howbeit we
speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor
of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1Co 2:7 But we speak
the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained
before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8 Which none of
the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory.
1Co 2:9 But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man
knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things
also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy
Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned. He said, I came to you I was determined to
know nothing amongst you save Jesus Christ the Messiah the anointed one and his
anointing and him crucified and my words were not the incitement words of mens
wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Holy Ghost and with power so that
your faith should not rest in the wisdom of man, but the power of God, they had
the same gospel. Philip preached the Christ and he did the stuff, the people
heard and saw and they believed as Multitudes. Read verse 6 again, 1Co 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are
perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world,
that come to nought: hearing and seeing the miracles in which he did, Wow yes,
the anointing was restoring the Joy. Verses 7-8, 1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8 Which none of
the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory. Its the anointing
that’s restoring the Joy, the joy is coming, because the anointing is
doing its fulfilling purpose. The interesting thing is this, God started this
move back to front, he started it with Joy, and so everybody started hearing
about the laughing revival and we got hung up with the Law thing. Oh Laughing
you know what? Its just a manifestation of the anointing God removing burdens
and destroying yokes, and while people are laughing and all under the anointing
God is healing deep emotional wounds, healing their psychological problems,
healing their spirits, healing their minds, healing their bodies, it produced
Joy in Samaria, and God said,”Well Ill just confound them, Ill start with Joy,
Great Joy in that City.” Verses 9-10, 1Co 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that
love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God. We are just
getting to the backdrop that makes those earlier verses so significant, this
guy had held the whole city under his power and yet when Philip came with the
message of the anointing, and demonstrated the anointing, the Bible sais, the
whole city, the multitude with one accord gave head to Philip. Why? Just
because they didn’t hear a nice sermon, they saw the power that was the greater
than Simons. Lets see how the Holy Spirit can hit below the belt, you don’t
just need Authority only, you need power to back the Authority up. See? When
Peter and John came from Jerusalem and they laid hands on people to receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit Simon got real Impressed and he pulled out his billfold
and said “Man that’s Impressive, Id like that power, how much would you take for
that Power?” The Holy Spirit said,”How much will the witch Dr give for the
power of God in your Life?” What was acknowledged, those witch Dr’s who can
kill people at a distance, and can turn themselves into animals, who can put
curses on people and all sorts of other things that you think are weird, if you understand the power of witchcraft, the power of devils, they can do all those
things. We have got to search God’s knowledge, and get rid of and be emptied of
a lot of trash that blocks God’s power, The wisdom of man and the spirit of the
world and all the religious Junk, that God needs to clean out and bring you to
a point of growing to experience his power and his anointing, but the Whole
City gives head. Verses 12-13, 1Co 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things
also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy
Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Most have asked the
Lord, why is it that we have such a low level of spiritual life in the church
of Jesus Christ? People get saved and they get board, real sickly they are born
of the Spirit but they are pathetic Christians. Got to be spoon feed them got to console
them to move, you got to run after them and do all sorts of things, it’s not
like they are so born again of the Spirit of God and set ablaze by the Spirit
of God that they just take off running with that Anointing of God. It just
doesn’t seem to be there, so we have weak, weak Christians.
Producing after our own kind, we are weak, we are pathetic,
next thing it just shows you who the church is in bed with. The church is in
bed with the World, we are not producing Christians that look like the Father,
because we are producing simply to have statistics to empress. The main thing
is lacking is the anointing of God, so that that conversion is a powerful
impact of the Spirit of God and the anointing of God on the people who are set
totally free. Even Baptism has been deluded of its power, its just become a
ritual in most churches, people just get dunked and gets a little bit wet, and Baptism
is so much more than that according to the “Word” of God, but we’ve reacted to
the over emphasis of certain sides of the church, and so we over react to this
side, which would be symbolic and It is Not symbolic, it’s a very powerful
thing, everything is so weak its so defeat, its so void of power, its so void
of the presents of God and we have Christians who are Pathetic, It is going to
change, because we are going to see people Born again to the Spirit of God,
Ablaze for God and they are going to out strip us, they are going to run so
hard, because their Conversion is going to be a dynamic work of the Holy Spirit
of God. Why?
He is restoring the Church to Spiritual Health by the
anointing, that’s why it’s so important for you as a child of God to keep
yielding to the anointing and let the anointing to do its work in you, Because
most of the work that has to be done in you is the wounds that make you so self-
conscious that you are so afraid of failure and so afraid of looking stupid. If
God tells you to lay hands on somebody and throw out a devil, so self-
conscious sais, what happens if it doesn’t work and I look like a Pauper or an
Idiot.
NO! God said,” When the anointing comes the magnitude of the anointing will be
so great that it will totally overwhelm all the things of self.” God sais, “If
you believe every time you pray for somebody to be healed, they will be healed
and if you wouldn’t be self- conscious.” Right? If you knew it would work every
time you would go around and find hospitals to empty, you would be so excited,
we can’t fail.
Here is the problem, we have had a confidence in the power
of God and Haven’t had a confidence in the Anointing , but God is going to do
something wonderful. It’s exactly what happened on the day of Pentecost, the
Spirit came in such a power on the day of Pentecost that they forgot about
themselves, they didn’t mind that people called them drunk with new wine.
They were out on the street under the power and the anointing of God and they didn’t care about anybody and what they thought of them. God said “Get ready there’s a new Pentecost coming, but it is much bigger than Pentecost even. He is pouring out his Spirit in such a measure that it is going to take care of all our self- consciousness. God said, “If anyone is self- conscious even, the world will laugh at them, because the power will be so great that if anybody takes away credit for themselves, the World will laugh at them in their face.
The anointed one is saying to his church “I want
you to start preaching what I preach, I preached how God anointed me , even the
devils recognized it, the devils trembled at that message of the anointing and
he is calling his church back to recognize the power of that anointing, and to
start to walk in that anointing, and start to expect God to demonstrate his
power when we preach about his anointing!They were out on the street under the power and the anointing of God and they didn’t care about anybody and what they thought of them. God said “Get ready there’s a new Pentecost coming, but it is much bigger than Pentecost even. He is pouring out his Spirit in such a measure that it is going to take care of all our self- consciousness. God said, “If anyone is self- conscious even, the world will laugh at them, because the power will be so great that if anybody takes away credit for themselves, the World will laugh at them in their face.
