The Importance Of Anointing

The clearest definition of the anointing we are referring to here is given in the Book of Isaiah 10:27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken awayfrom off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall bedestroyed because of the anointing.According to the bible, the anointing is:1. The burden removing weapon.2. The yoke breaking power of God.3. The yoke destroying power.Anointing is the most effective and devastating weapon against the burden or the yoke of the enemy.The Bible says: 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 then that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19Anointing is the burden removing and yoke breaking power of God. Anointing is what empowers a man or a woman to function supernaturally. Anointing is that which enables you to do supernatural things. Beloved, you must understand that Christianity is a spiritual thing. Christianity is not just a religion. It is an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an experience from heaven. The anointing is the supernatural power for supernatural assignments. The anointing is a heavenly electric power. If you are plugged to that power men and women will see you as somebody from another world. The anointing is the liquid power that comes with the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is the presence and power of God.What are those things that the anointing can do for you?1. The anointing opens doors that have long been shut.Samson in the Bible was just a normal man but whenever the anointing cameupon him he became a super man. When the anointing came upon Samson, he tore the mouth of a lion. When the anointing comes upon your life doors that have been shut by enemies will open forcefully.A husband and wife who were Professors had a son who was almost a dunce. The boy always came last at the end of term examination but they attended one of our services and a word of knowledge came concerning the boy's situation which they both claimed. When the boy wrote another terminal examination he came first. The teacher could not believe it because of the boy's previous record. By the anointing, the door of destiny that was shut against the boy was opened.2. The anointing makes you to succeed when other people fail.On the first night that a pastor spent in a new branch, a serpent crawled into his apartment and made straight for his bed. The serpent crawled around the pastor's neck to strangulate him to death and realizing that his life was slipping away, the pastor began to pray in tongues making the serpent loose its grip and fall. Eventually the serpent turned to an old woman and the pastor ran back to the headquarters requesting for fresh posting to another place.Another pastor was posted to the same branch but unfortunately, he died when he was tested by the evil powers in the church environment. However, when a third pastor was posted to the same church, he prayed and cut the evil tree that the occult used as their power base. This action made the seven major witch doctors in the area come out and give the pastor twenty-four hours to die. But, because the pastor was anointed, the seven native doctors died instead and some people gave their lives to Christ. Once you key into the anointing you will definitely succeed when others are failing woefully.3. The anointing empowers you to press on.When everyone tells you to stop, when everything is hindering you from moving forward, the anointing will empower you to move. When men and women have become weary, you will be enabled to move on once you have tapped into the anointing of God.4. The anointing makes you another man entirely.5. The anointing makes your face to shine

In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy.

Outlines the keys to realizing the Holy Spirit--understanding the Bible, meeting and knowing Jesus as a person, and being open to personal revelation.

Although many of us long to be blessed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, R. T. Kendall believes it is possible to abuse this anointing - and become yesterday's man or woman. This happens by trying to move outside our calling and capabilities, for example, or even through impatience. Drawing on the Bible, especially the lives of Saul, Samuel and David, as well as on his own experience, R. T. helps us to identify our current usefulness and urges us to seek a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day.

Walking in the Prophetic Anointing is not just a catch phrase or a magic potion that is poured on you. In fact, it is constantly living in the presence of God, so that you will be able to fulfill God's call and purpose on your life. Walking in the Prophet Anointing also does not mean that you will not experience problems. On the contrary, you will encounter battles, after battles in your life. David who was anointed to be the next king of Israel had many close calls with death despite him being anointed by God. Despite the challenges we face in our lives; God still expect us to fulfill the mandate that he has given us. Walking in the prophetic anointing also requires us to live a life of consecration, prayer and fasting, so we can maintain the presence of God in our lives. Failure to do this will result in us not being able to accomplish the purpose for which we were created. I am often reminded of Luke 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." Therefore, let us continue to walk in the prophetic anointing so that we will be able to fulfill our calling through Christ Jesus.

Just as a united front is more powerful in battle, so is the anointing when Christians come together in unity! In this classic book Pastor Varner shows how God longs to reveal the fullness of Christ in the fullness of His Body in power and glory!
