I feel the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit as I begin to prepare this next message about the "Anointing"! The Lord is preparing His people to "receive and release" the anointing that is within them and upon them so that they can fulfill the purpose that He has for them! There are many different levels of anointing, but coming from the same Holy Spirit. It depends on what you have been "called" and "appointed" to do! You will understand what He just said, as I continue with these messages!
Let's start with 1 John 2:20 (I am reading from the Amplified Bible)...."You hold a sacred appointment, you have been given an unction---you have been anointed by the Holy One and You know the truth". Now, let's look at verse 27...(I am going to "paraphrase" to make it easier for you to understand)....it tells us that the sacred appointment is the unction and anointing, and if you "receive" it from Him, it will abide in you permanently; so then you will have no need for anyone to instruct you. That word "instruct" is literally translated in this scripture as "to LEAD" you. This does not mean that we don't need to receive instructions and teaching from anointed "teachers and mentors" that are helping us to get revelation knowledge from the Word of God! After all, Jesus gave them as a "gift" to us, in order to equip, perfect and build up the body of Christ for ministry! (Eph. 4:11 & 12)
If you will read verse 26, you will see what He is talking about in verse 27. Let's look at verse 26......It warns us to not let other people deceive us and LEAD us astray from doing what God has called us to do and the Holy Spirit has anointed us to do! When we have an anointing to do something, we only need to be LEAD by the Holy Spirit about when and how to "release" it! More to come~~~~~~
