It is
important to know that the Lord desires to anoint all of His servants. As we
have learned, the anointing is Christ Himself – it is all of Him covering all
of us as we yield all of ourselves to all of His grace. The greatest way to
obtain this anointing is to abide in Him, walk alongside Him, overcome through
Him, change to be like Him, surrender to Him, and live for Him. Our everyday
choices to walk in holiness and victory produces a nation-changing anointing on
our lives.
The 3
anointings that we must apply to our lives are:
The
anointing of water, which is His Word living in us
The
anointing of oil, which is His character smeared on us
The
anointing of blood, which is His death and life abiding in us
1 How wonderful, how beautiful, when
brothers and sisters get along!
2 It's like costly anointing oil flowing down the head and beard, flowing down Aaron's beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.
3. It;s like the dew on Mount Hermon flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes. that's where God commands the blessing, ordains eternal life.
John
uses the word “anointing’ 3 times in 1John 2:20, 27 as he admonishes us to
abide in Him as He teaches us all things.
Here
are the things we need to do in order to live in the anointing. This is an
anointing that no one can give you – we walk in this anointing as a result of:
• Consecration
– each of us as believers are set apart to minister as consecrated, passionate
God-lovers. It is out of relationship and imitation of His character that we
have layers of anointing in our lives. Set your life apart from all other
things and run after God with all your heart.
•
Word – You cannot have an anointing outside of your relationship with the Lord
in His Word. The Word washes and instructs, it brings you face to face with the
Lord and provides you with a powerful anointing.
• Receive
– the anointing has been freely offered – we need to receive what He has made
available to us. Put off all your old ways of thinking and acting – put on
Christ and His nature. “Wear” His anointing as a beautiful cloak.
Psalm
133 (Message)
