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. And

now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have

confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

1 John 2:27-28 (KJV)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may

abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,

because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth

with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:16-17 (KJV)

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even

the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me

John 15:26 (KJV)

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go

not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him

unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of

righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of

righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment,

because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you,

but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will

guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall

hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me:

for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father

hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto

you.

John 16:7-15 (KJV)

Before Jesus left this earth, He told us that He would be sending us another

comforter, another teacher who would be with us in Jesus earthly absence. The Holy

Spirit, the very Spirit of the living God abides in you and me! Upon salvation, the

Holy Spirit comes into our spirits and makes His home there. Thus, He is always

with us! The Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Fatheran amazing gift to us.

So essential is the work of the Spirit of God inside our hearts that Jesus said that

after He left, the Church had to wait in Jerusalem until they had received power from

on high. While the Holy Spirit is our counselor, friend, helper, and life-long teacher,

He also provides empowerment to Gods people to fulfill the Word of God. This

empowerment spans everything that God does through His peoplefrom

conquering a sinful stronghold, to seeking the Lord and hearing Him, to dedicating

ones life to the call of the Masternothing is impossible with God!

Were not going to dive into deep study of the Holy Spirit here, I encourage you

to delve into the Word on your own and do so. Here, however, we are going to deal

with the subject in a devotional nature. Dear minister, have you ever experienced the

anointing of the Holy Spirit? Have you ever received boldness from the Lord to

preach? To respond to an adversary off the cuff with a sermon testifying Christ?

The Holy Spirit works this way through usHe empowers us and anoints us for the

work we are called to do. It is very important that you wait upon the Lord for His

anointing and do not minister in your own strength. For apart from the Lord, you can

do nothing.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is more than just a one-time empowerment and

the bestowment of a gift or two. The Holy Spirits anointing is meant to humble you

and empower you to stand for Godto be transparent and meek as well as bold

ministers of the Gospel.

Lets pray: Father, I ask that you bless each and every minister that is reading

this. May he wait upon you throughout His entire life, constantly asking and waiting

to receive a special anointing for each particular work that You have called him to

accomplish, but may he also be humbled and abide in You, always, seeking to follow

your Spirit. May You establish a clear vision and burden of heart for the specific

ministry You have called him inO Lord, please make Him aware of this so that He

knows it and lives it. Father, I ask that Your Kingdom Come and Your Will Be Done

in our lives. May we be examples to the flockYour people. May we be wholly

devoted to Your will alone and depend upon Your Spirit for empowerment and

anointing! In Jesus precious name, I pray, amen.
