The Power Of The Anointing

"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1 John 2:27)

The anointing that John is speaking of is an anointing that will bring life to your ministry!  It is the empowerment to do the work of the ministry, it's not just something so you can feel good.  There is always a purpose behind this anointing.

The Purpose Of The Anointing

1. The Anointing Has An Assignment -- It is present in your life to enable you to minister hope and healing. (Luke 4:18)
2. The Anointing Has An Authority -- People who walk in the anointing have an authority that is supernatural.  The anointing has the ability to transform.
3. The Anointing Is For A Demonstration Of Greater Works -- Praying in the Spirit and meditating on the Word of God are the two strongest ways to nurture the anointing in your life.
4. The Anointing Is Given To Demonstrate Good In Your Life --  Unfortunately, there are too many selfish Christians that want to do their own thing rather than doing good for others.  God puts His anointing in you so you can help others and bring healing to hurting people.
5. The Anointing Works With The Word -- The Word of God nurtures the anointing.  Whenever you declare the Word of God, the anointing is there to perform it.
6. The Anointing Is Available To Every Believer -- The exciting thing about the anointing is that you received it the moment you accepted Jesus as your Savior.  The anointing is in you to live boldly for the Lord, to endure trials in joy, to heal the sick, and set the captives free!

It's For You

Never think the anointing of God is reserved for only a select few.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  God has given you the anointing to use to help others.  What actions are you taking to allow God's anointing to flow from you to benefit other people?

Be sure to share this blog with your friends and family.  God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving and remember to always be grateful for all that God has done.
