1. WHAT IS GOD'S ANOINTING?
It is knowing the supernatural presence of God upon us, being aware of His presence with us. A physical experience where we feel the warm presence and glow of God upon our body.
2. JESUS CHRIST KNEW THE ANOINTING OF GOD
Acts 10: 38: "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
3. THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING
John 8: 29: "And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."
Obedience is necessary: John 8: 47: "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
4. WITH THE ANOINTING COMES GOD'S HEALING
Healing of the woman with the fountain of blood.
Mark 5: 27-34: "When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?" But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, Who touched Me? '" And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before
Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."
5. POWERFUL ANOINTING ON JESUS -RAISING FROM THE DEAD.
Mark 5: 41-42: "Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, 'Talitha, cumi," which is translated, 'Little girl, I say to you, arise." Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement."
6. WHEN DID THE ANOINTING COME UPON JESUS?
Matthew 3: 16-17: "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Result:
He began to preach: Matthew 4: 17: "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
He was able to say (Luke 4: 18-19): "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."
He had authority: Luke 4: 32: "And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority." Demons began to cry out: Luke 4: 34: "saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are -the Holy One of God!"
Many were healed: Luke 4: 40: "When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them."
Demons came out of many: Luke 4: 41: "And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ."
7. CAN THIS ANOINTING BE QUENCHED?
Yes, by unbelief. Mark 6: 5: "Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them."
8. SHOULD WE EXPECT TO KNOW THAT SAME ANOINTING?
Yes. 1 John 2: 20: "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things."
Note:
We have an anointing. This is further confirmed in:
1 John 2: 27: "But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him."
Result of knowing anointing: The operation of the gifts of the Spirit.
Word of wisdom Gift of prophecy
Word of knowledge Discerning of spirits
Gift of faith Kinds of tongues
Gift of healing Interpretation of tongues
Working of miracles
9. HOW DO WE COME TO KNOW THIS ANOINTING?
Scriptural background: Exodus 30: 22-30: "Moreover the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:] "Also take for yourself quality spices -five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane, "five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. "And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil. "With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; "the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; "the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base. "You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy. "And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as priests."
Moses fulfilled these commandments:
Leviticus 8: 10-12: "Also Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them. He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the laver and its base, to consecrate them. And he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him." The sons of Aaron were also anointed. Leviticus 8: 30: "Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him."
10. SETTING APART FOR SERVICE
The anointing of God means being set apart for His service. Samuel anointed Saul. 1 Samuel 10: 1: "Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: "Is it not because the LORD has anointed you commander over His inheritance?" Samuel anointed David. 1 Samuel 16: 13: "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah." However, a distressing spirit came on Saul. 1 Samuel 16: 14: "But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the LORD troubled him."
This was because of his disobedience to God. King Solomon. King David instructed that his son, Solomon, be anointed King over Israel. 1 Kings 1: 39: "Then Zadok the priest took a horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!"
12. THE ANOINTING OF JEHU AS KING OF ISRAEL
1 Kings 19: 16-17: "Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. "It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill."
The anointing of Jehu in the book of 2 Kings. 2 Kings 9: 1-3: "And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Get yourself ready, take this flask
of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. "Now when you arrive at that place, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up
from among his associates, and take him to an inner room. "Then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "I have anointed you king over
Israel." ' Then open the door and flee, and
