Anointing is the power of God. As the Hand of God was upon Moses he parted the Red Sea, brought water from a rock, quail from the sky and manna from Heaven. The power of God brought the walls of Jericho tumbling down flat as the horns blew of the mighty marching army of Joshua. Goliath fell from the anointing of God upon David. Jesus came among sinners and healed the blind, deaf and raised them from the dead...all as He saw His Father doing. And Jesus says that we, in Christ, can do...say, "Can do"...all that He did. Why? Because that same power, anointing, that was with Him here on earth comes upon us just when we need it to accomplish our Father's business.
The anointing is the "infused ability to perform work on behalf of another." It's "infused" into us when we need it. God doesn't just give it to us to make us feel good. It is given on the behalf of another. When you go to where the needs are--you will have the anointing to fill the needs!
The anointing is two-fold. To "perform work"= it is not my work to be done. God doesn't waste the anointing of building kingdoms of men. He builds His work. Here's the key: find out what God wants done and get involved.
The second part to that is "on the behalf of another". Find someone in need--then seek to meet their need. A Kingdom principle is...as it is given out, it is given back. You go and pray for those who are sick, you will also be receiving health back to you and your household. You sow into someone's financial need, you will find that you will not lack. You give someone your time and lend an ear to give them emotional stability, you will see that your life is full of peace.
It takes faith to step out. When we hear something it comes from produced information (info someone has provided to us). Information produces understanding, understanding produces trust. Trust is faith. Faith begins where the will of God is known. What is the will of God for your life? 3 John verse 2. "I will above all things that you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers."
We've talked in the past about, "What you say is what you get". Proverbs 23:7 tells us that as we think so we become. What we dwell on, focus on, camp out on...is what becomes the life around us. Our Father wants us to prosper and be in good health. But He wants us to understand that it is in alignment with how our soul prospers. What is our soul? It is our mind, will and emotions. Do you see the link of these two verses?
Staying in the Word of God will renew our thinking. It will teach us the love of the Father for each us, show us His goodness toward us, instruct us in the best way to go and reveal our position with Him in Christ. All good stuff! It's time we stopped listening to our flesh and turned our attention to the leading and teaching of the Holy Spirit. The flesh presses, but, faith touches.
As you seek God for the power of His anointing to flow through you...be persistent. Look for where He is at work and join Him...on the behalf of another. And watch as the anointing of Almighty God flows through you to touch others and then watch how your life will begin to shine in all directions. Who knows...your face could shine like that of Moses when He descended the mountain with the glory (anointing) of God! Remember...ALL things are possible...to those who believe.
