Dimensions of The Anointing
Dimensions of The Anointing
Ephesians 3:20; John 7:37; Acts 1:8
There are 2 dimensions of the Anointing:
– [ ] The Anointing within you
– [ ] The Anointing upon you.
It’s the same Holy Spirit but different operations. 1Cor.12:3-6
Under the Old Testament, only the priests, prophets and kings had the spirit upon them not within them.
However under the NT- 1Cor.3:16
Differences
– [ ] The one in you services you. It’s your personal service station; the one on you helps you to service others
– [ ] The one in you is for your personal blessing. The one on you makes you a blessing to others
– [ ] The one in you edifies you. The one on you edifies others
The Anointing in You Does the ff Things…
1. Guidance. Romans 8:14
2. Strength-
Strength– Ephesians 3:16. “And I pray that…supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power.”TPT
– [ ] to be strengthened is to be enabled- to be be furnished with ability
– [ ] Ability to fight, ability to win, ability to withstand, ability to withdraw; ability to say YES to God, and NO to Sin…
– [ ] This ability is a holy restrainer….Glory!
– [ ] Without that inner strength, you can’t resist temptation
– [ ] If believers fall into sin and moral disrepute, it’s not because the temptation is strong or the enemy is powerful. It’s because we’re not taking advantage of the Greater One in Us.
– [ ] Proverbs 24:10 (KJV) [If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.
3. Quickening– Quickening- Rom.8:11- vitalize your mortal- death doomed body. This is the health and healing technology of the kingdom.
4. Rest& Refreshing– Rest
– [ ] Psalms 23:2 (KJV) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
– [ ] Isaiah 28:12 (KJV)- To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
5. Prophecy- it’s part of the work of the Holy Spirit in us. There are 3 levels of the prophetic. First is the spirit of prophecy, second is the gift of prophecy and third is the office of the prophet.
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 14:31 (KJV)- For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
– [ ]
6. Illumination –
– [ ] 1 John 2:27-27 (KJV) 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.
– [ ] John 14:26 (KJV)- But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
– [ ] John 16:13 (KJV) 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.
7. Intercession
– [ ] Romans 8:15 (KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
– [ ] Romans 8:26 (KJV)- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
– [ ] Every believer is called, anointed and appointed to the ministry of intercession. Because we are all kings and priests. Rev.5:10
The Spirit Upon You Does the ff.
1. Dominion. Ps.89:20; Rev.5:10
– [ ] This is the kingly anointing that puts you in charge and makes life to surrender to you. Ps.110:1-2
– [ ] To rule in the midst of enemies.
– [ ] Psalms 23:5-5 (KJV) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
2. Deliverance-Judges 15:14-16
– [ ] It pumps your body and surcharges it divine energy
– [ ] It drives out weakness and makes you to do the work of 20 people without breaking down
– [ ] Powers your body and your mind
3. Makes you fearless and bold. Acts 4:8;13
4. Missions- Acts 1:8
How to Tap into the Anointing
(Putting the Power to Work- )
How do you put the Greater One in You to work?
How do you put the ability to work?
– [ ] Recognition
– [ ] Meditation
– [ ] Confession
– [ ] Communion
– [ ] Inclusion
– [ ] Impartation
1. Recognition– Awareness- that’s why Samson was commanded to wear dreadlocks. So he’ll always remember that he wasn’t an ordinary guy.
– [ ]
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV) Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
– [ ]
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 6:15 (KJV)- Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid.
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV)- What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 6:17-17 (KJV) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
– [ ] 1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
2. Meditation – think much on this truth until your life is saturated with God’s glory. Walk in the consciousness of this.
3. Confession– Confession stirs the power
– [ ] Declare it always- I am anointed. The spirit of the Lord is upon me and within me…
– [ ] Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
– [ ]
– [ ] Anything given to you in redemption is receivable by confession. Until you open your mouth and say that you have it, you won’t experience it.
4. Communion– with the Holy Spirit. Fellowship with him. Worship him. Minister to him. Acts 13:1-2
5. Inclusion– Fellowship with the Saints. Lk.1:39-45- the river of prophecy was activated when Elizabeth heard Mary’s voice. The babe leaped in her womb. Fellowship with the saints will activate what’s within you.
6. Impartation– by the laying on of hands and anointing with oil, the Spirit comes upon you, if you believe. 1Sam.16:13
Ministration.
Holy Spirit move me now…
Activate the spirit of prayer and intercession.
