Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose
-
of inspiring, heartfelt Tagalog sermons from different pastors and speakers
-
all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds
-
you in good shape. And now here's your message.
-
All right, let's go to Luke chapter four once again,
-
so we continue and looking at the tremendous truths concerning
-
Jubilee and it's ramfications and application for us. Today tonight
-
we want to look at Jubilee the Spear of the
-
Lord is upon Me, and then probably starting next week,
-
we want to break down these different aspects of what
-
Jesus brought with Jubilee when he said he came to
-
preach the gospel or to the poor, bring healing to
-
the broken hearted, deliverance to the captives, recovery of sight
-
to the blind, set at liberty them that are bruised.
-
Those five aspects of Jubilee, We're going to take a
-
week on each one and just really plumb that and
-
look into that, because there's a whole lot there.
-
More there than meets the eye.
-
When you first read it, you think, oh yeah, but
-
then when you really look at the application spiritually, naturally emotionally,
-
all the ramifications of it like that the last part
-
where he says to set free those who are downtrodden
-
or oppressed or bruised. When you look at that, already
-
began to study out that phrase and that wording the oppressed,
-
the downtrodden, they're bruised, and what all and who all
-
that encompasses, and what all it encompasses. I'm telling you
-
every need that we face is covered in this proclamation
-
is declaration of jubilee that Jesus pronounced, and he said,
-
this day the scripture is fulfilled in your ears. Jubilee
-
has come. So all the needs that we have are
-
summed up here, and you can pray and believe with
-
confidence for whatever you might need, if a physical healing,
-
emotional healing, freedom from shame or rejection, or wounding or bruising,
-
or captivity or broken heartedness, poverty, whatever the case is,
-
you can believe and pray with faith.
-
That you're praying in the will of God.
-
And the scriptures clearly say if we ask anything according to.
-
His will, he hears us.
-
And if we know that he hears us, we know
-
we have the petitions we desire him. First John five
-
fourteen fifteen. So let's read verse sixteen Luke four sixteen.
-
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up,
-
and as was his custom, he entered the synagogue on
-
the Sabbath and stood up to read in the Book
-
of the Prophet. Isaiah was handed to him, and he
-
opened the book. He unrolled the scroll and found the
-
place where it was written. He found the place where
-
it was written. Now, for hundreds of years, now, pably
-
talk a little about this next week. Hundreds of years,
-
synagogues all over the world read the same passage, the
-
same thing, and it's quite amazing some of the things
-
that happen prophetically as this same passage of scripture, whatever
-
it might be, is read around the world, and then
-
prophetically is often fulfilled. I'll talk a little about that
-
next week. And some of it is the passage about Jubilee,
-
and how in nineteen seventeen, in nineteen sixty seven, fifty
-
years later on Jubilee year, when the passage is read,
-
things that happened prophetically in Israel and around the world.
-
It's quite interesting. He opened the scroll, found a place
-
where it was written, and he said in verse eighteen,
-
the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
-
has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor.
-
Other translations add he sent me to heal the broken hearted.
-
He sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and
-
recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those
-
who are downtrodden or oppressed or bruised. To proclaim the
-
favorable year, the year of God's favor, the year of
-
the free, favor and grace of God, the Jubilee year,
-
the year of freedom, the year of release, the year
-
of restoration and return. To proclaim the favorable year of
-
the Lord, Jubilee. All the Jewish people understood what he
-
was saying. Rabbis taught that that passage was referring to Jubilee.
-
Commentators that they all agree that when he said I've
-
come to preach the acceptable year the Lord, he was
-
referring to Jubilee. When slaves go free, captives are relief,
-
property is returned, and the application for us in a
-
new time Testament is that, plus everything he just said
-
in verse eighteen, those five things, the poor don't have
-
to be poor anymore, the broken hearted don't have to
-
be broken hearted anymore. The captives don't have to be
-
captive anymore. The blind don't have to be blind anymore.
-
The oppressed and down trodden don't have to be oppressed
-
and down trodden anymore. I've come to bring freedom. He
-
closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, sat down.
-
The eyes of all the synagogue were fixed upon him,
-
and he began to say to them. Now, Notice it
-
says he began to say, doesn't say.
-
He just said.
-
This is just a summary and encapsulation of what he
-
preached that day. He began to say, this day, this
-
scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. And then he apparently
-
went on and expounded it how it applied in what
-
he said in verse eighteen and the Isaiah passage preach.
-
It wentce, you loved to heard that sermon went, you
-
loved to be in there. We'll get to in heaven.
-
I believe we'll get to hear that sermon. He said today,
-
this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.
-
Fulfilled? What does fulfilled mean?
-
It's finished, it's come to pass, It's been fulfilled. It's
-
here now. The implication was clear that commentator says Jesus
-
was claiming to be the Messiah. Who could bring the
-
Kingdom of God which had been promised for so long.
-
This was revolutionary. It was the dawning of a new era,
-
a new start, a new beginning, things being restored to
-
their proper place, the balancing of the system. Kenneth Woost,
-
in his translation out of the Greek, renders it today
-
this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and stands
-
fulfilled as an accomplished and finished fact. It was the
-
trumpet blast of God's jubilee into this world of misery, sin, suffering, want, oppression,
-
and need.
-
Hallelujah.
-
The trumpet blast so far of God's Jubilee, God's freedom.
-
To the world.
-
Hallelujah. The acceptable year, the favorable year, Hallelujah. I just
-
heard recently Jonathan Kahn, Rabbi Jonathan Kahn, and he made
-
a statement that has caught my attention.
-
He said, the power of the Jubilee is for your life.
-
The power of the Jubilee is for your life.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So our Lord Jesus ushered in Jubilee, freedom and deliverance
-
by declaring that the spirit of the Lord.
-
Was upon him.
-
And had anointed him to preach, heal, deliver and set free.
-
Notice how this whole thing starts, He says in verse eighteen.
-
It all begins with the spirit of the Lord is
-
upon me because he has anointed me. The spirit of
-
the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me.
-
He says, I'm able to do these things because the
-
spear of the Lord is upon me, and I'm anointed.
-
He says, I do these things by the anointing, by.
-
The spirit of the Lord.
-
That was the foundation of everything that he then said.
-
After that, and leading up to the Clamation of Jubilee,
-
which was really a summation of verse eighteen, Jesus then
-
commissioned his church to do the same the same thing
-
he said that he came to do. Preach the Gospel
-
to the poor, bring healing to the broken hearted, deliverance
-
to the captors, recovery your side to the blind, set
-
at liberty them there's are bruised. He then commissioned his
-
church us to do the same thing, or the same things.
-
If you would now you might think, how can that be?
-
How can we do the same things because we have
-
the same holy spirit. And Jesus said, I'm doing these
-
things by the spear of the Lord, the spear of
-
the Lord is upon me. We have the same Holy Spirit,
-
and this is what we're gonna expound on tonight. And
-
we have the same anointing. Now, none of us have
-
the anointing in the measure that Jesus had the anointing.
-
John three point thirty four says he had the spirit
-
without measure. But we all have a measure of the
-
Holy Spirit. We're all anointed. Scripture says we are anointed.
-
We're gonna look at that tonight. So we have the
-
same Holy Spirit. We have the same anointing in us,
-
so we can do these same things. It's been well said.
-
God doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called. If
-
you're thinking, you know, well, I'm just not there yet.
-
I'm not equipped yet, and I have to learn more.
-
I have to grow more. I have to do more.
-
He doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called. He
-
takes the foolish things of the world to shame the wise,
-
the weak things, the shame the strong. Home. Too many
-
times we our eyes are on ourselves and think, well,
-
I have to do more. I have to be more eloquent,
-
or I have to learn more. I have to be
-
more polished, or I have to be more together, or
-
I I I know it's time. We had to look
-
at him, him, him, Him, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We can
-
say the spear of the Lord is upon me.
-
I guess I.
-
Got noun confusion.
-
They're a pronoun confusion.
-
We can say the spear of the Lord is upon us,
-
or you can say the spear of the Lord is
-
upon me. Close your eyes and say that the Spirit
-
of the Lord is upon me. Say it again, the
-
spear of the Lord.
-
Is upon me.
-
And we can say the spirit Lord is or we are.
-
He has anointed us, so you can say he has
-
anointed me. Say that, close your eyes, say he has
-
anointed me. Again, he has anointed me. Now we're not
-
just saying that as a positive statement or affirmation. It's scripture.
-
And I want us to delve into that tonight and
-
look at it and build your faith in that you
-
are not going to be, not need to be, not
-
someday will be. You are a minister of reconciliation. That's
-
what Tewod Corinthians five eighteen tells us that we are
-
his ambassadors. So an ambassador speaks for the ones who
-
sent him and also has the delegated authority, and it
-
says we are ministers of reconciliation. Close your eyes and
-
say I am a minister of reconciliation. Say that I
-
am a minister of reconciliation. Again, close your eyes, I
-
am a minister of reconciliation. Now put that together. Say
-
the spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has
-
anointed me, and I am a minister of reconciliation. And
-
before you think, well, how can I do that, or
-
fear tries to get in there inadequacy or or insufficiency,
-
or that it's not based on us, It's based on him.
-
Remember Jesus said, I do nothing of myself. The Father
-
who in dwells me he does the works, because flipping
-
through he emptied himself the divine kenosis. He emptied himself
-
of his those divine attributes and his glory. He came
-
as a man anointed by the spirit of God. What
-
he did he didn't do as God. He did it
-
as a man anointed by the spirit of God. That
-
has to be the case, or he could not have
-
then said to us, the works that I do, you'll
-
do Also John fourteen twelve. If he did it all
-
by God, by being divined and we couldn't do it.
-
But he said, no, you do the same thing. And
-
if he did it by being divined, he wouldn't have
-
said I can't do anything of myself.
-
He said, I only.
-
Do what the Father tells me, what the Father shows me,
-
and the things I do, I do by the Father.
-
And that's us.
-
Where are to do what the father tells us, what
-
the father shows us, what a father tells us. You're
-
in the grocery store, out in the marketplace, you're in
-
a parkison, the father shows you something, The father tells
-
you something, the Father gives you something to say. Just
-
do it, even if there's fear, intrepidation. It'll be blessed.
-
If it's God. Now it's important to make sure it's God.
-
Some people get half cocked. But if your heart's are
-
right and you're seeking God and you're spending time with Him,
-
as we've been talking about on Sunday mornings, if you're
-
spending time with God on a consistent, regular basis, fellowshipping
-
with him, drawing nearer to him, you'll hear his voice.
-
Jesus had my sheep hear my voice, my sheep, hear
-
my voice, The voice of a stranger, they will not
-
listen to you. Are his sheep. Here is our shepherd.
-
We hear his voice, So say that I'm his sheep.
-
I clearly and accurately.
-
Hear his voice.
-
Amen. All right, So let's look at these three vital points.
-
Number one, we have the same Holy spirit. We have
-
the same Jesus said. The spirit of the Lord is
-
upon me. So the first thing we want to look
-
at is we have the same holy spirit. Look at
-
John fourteen. John fourteen, Jesus did this these works of jubilee,
-
by the power of the Holy Spirit. We have the
-
same Holy Spirit. See, these jubilee truths and freedoms are
-
not just for us, but they're for us to take
-
to others, to minister to others. God forbid we it
-
selfish and just think all it's all about what I
-
can get. John fourteen, Verse sixteen. Jesus said, and I
-
will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper,
-
that he may be with you forever. That is the
-
spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it
-
does not behold him or know him.
-
But you know him.
-
Because he abides with you and shall be in you. Now,
-
is that a different Holy Spirit than the Holy Spirit
-
that Jesus said, the spirit the Lord is upon me.
-
Are there more than one Holy Spirit? Are there multiple?
-
No?
-
Jesus haid, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
-
And Jesus said, I'm giving you the Spirit, and he.
-
Will be with you and in you.
-
So we have the same holy Spirit that empowered and
-
enabled Jesus in his earthly ministry and walk. We have
-
the same holy Spirit. Look at John fifteen, verse twenty six.
-
John fifteen, twenty six. When the helper comes, and there's
-
various translations render this word differently. Helper comforter, counselor those
-
are the more common ones. But I do kind of
-
like the idea of the helper. He's here to help us,
-
help us do what God's calling us to do, what
-
God wants us to do. We're not alone. We have
-
a helper. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost advantage. Notice he says,
-
when the helper comes, whom I will send you from
-
the Father, that is the spirit of truth who proceeds
-
from the Father. He will bear witness of me, and
-
you will bear witness also because you've been with me
-
me from the beginning. Same Holy Spirit, not a different
-
Holy Spirit, same Holy Spirit, John sixteen, verse thirteen. But
-
when he the Spirit of Truth, same spirit, comes, he
-
will guide you into all truth. For he will not
-
speak on his own initiative. But whatever he hears, he
-
will speak, and he will disclose to you what is
-
to come. And he shall glorify me. For he shall
-
take of mine and shall disclose it unto you, all
-
things that the Father has or mine. Therefore I said
-
that he takes of mind and will disclose it unto you,
-
the Spirit the Helper. So we have the same Holy
-
Spirit that Jesus had to enable us to proclaim the
-
acceptable year of the Lord Lord, to personally walk in jubilee,
-
and to proclaim jubilee, to preach it, to minister it
-
to lost sign crying dying humanity. And they're out there
-
by the multitudes. There are so many confused individuals in
-
the earth today, even in the Church, just confused. They
-
think it's all about feelings and themselves and what they
-
think is right, rather what Scripture says. We need to
-
be lights shining in a dark place. We need to
-
be cities set on a hill. We need to be
-
ministers of reconciliation. God wants people reconciled. We need to
-
be ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to
-
walk as an ambassador, talk as an ambassador, carry yourself
-
as an ambassad of Jesus Christ. Go into situations recognizing
-
the spear of the Lord is upon you, is in you.
-
Go into situations, say Lord, what do you have? Is
-
there something here that you want said or spoken or done?
-
You know, we get so caught up and just going
-
through life and just kind of rolling with the punches,
-
so to speak. Instead of you walk into a group
-
of people, you walk into situation, it's good just to
-
kind of ponder and think, Okay, God, is there something
-
here you want said or done? Rather than just well,
-
let's go with the flow and just everything stays carnal
-
and natural and God's not even a factor in it.
-
I think we'd be surprised if we would just at
-
least check in with Heaven, so to speak, more frequently,
-
Say God, is there something here you want me to
-
say or do?
-
And he may not speak A and K. You may
-
not get anything, but he might. He might.
-
And we just need to be available. Know somebody that
-
their husband died just recently. You may even know who
-
I'm talking about in a tragic accident. And for a
-
couple of days, God said, go just pray form, just
-
pray form. And I know this individual somewhat but not
-
real well. And I just went in and I just said.
-
I said, they were at their workplace, and I said,
-
just come to bring you condolences and just let you know,
-
praying God's.
-
Peace and strength for you.
-
And they just kind of nod their heads and I
-
just said without even asking, I didn't normally I would ask,
-
but I just then put my hands on her head
-
and I said, God, just fill it with your peace,
-
your comfort, your strength. Set a short prayer for her,
-
and I said amen. She just looked up at me
-
with just gratitude and just thanksgiving and just just said
-
thank you.
-
You know.
-
And I don't know what's going to come out of that,
-
but that was something I felt God prompted me to do,
-
and I believe that God used that. Yeah, so we
-
need to be available in that way. We'll go to
-
Acts chapter one. Did I tell you that or not?
-
Acts chapter one?
-
We have the.
-
Same Holy Spirit. Acts chapter one, Jesus said, verse eight.
-
But you shall receive power donemus miracle working power when
-
the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall
-
we'll be witnesses. You shall be witnesses. You shall receive
-
the Spirit, and you shall be witnesses. We usually leave
-
that part off. You know, I got the Holy Ghost.
-
But he says, you will received the Holy Ghost, and
-
you shall be witnesses. You will witness of God, witness
-
of Jesus in Jerusalem, your hometown, Judea, your county, Samaria,
-
the parts where you're maybe not so welcome, and even
-
to the uttermost parts of the earth Chapter two, verse.
-
Four.
-
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
-
began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit was
-
giving them utterance.
-
So we have the Holy Spirit.
-
Now, every born again child of God has the Holy
-
Spirit to a certain measure, to a degree, we're born
-
of the Spirit. But there's an experience subsequent to the
-
new birth, oftentimes referred to as the baptism of the
-
Holy Spirit, where it's an increased anointing and increased empowerment
-
from on high, accompanied by heavenly prayer language, a supernatural
-
prayer language. It's been likened to the difference between taking
-
a drink of water, being born of the Spirit and
-
jumping in a lake, being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
-
It's one thing to have water in you, it's another
-
thing to be in the water. You can have the
-
Holy Spirit in you, but doesn't mean you're in the
-
Holy Spirit. And you can be saved and go to
-
Heaven without the baptism the Holy Spirit, without ever speaking tongues.
-
But it makes life a whole lot easier. It's given
-
as a gift to give through this life as an overcomer,
-
as victorious. The best illustration God gave me was it's
-
like riding a bike. You can ride a bike with
-
both tires flat and you can get where you're going,
-
but you got a lot of self effort to do it.
-
Or you can fully inflate the tires, which is the
-
baptism of the Holy Spirit, and you can cruise a
-
whole lot easier and get where you're going a whole
-
lot faster. Why not get that air in your tires?
-
Why not?
-
Well, because the devil in religion has got people all
-
freaked out about tongues, which is so stupid. I mean,
-
all the writers of the New Testament spoken tongues. Mary
-
the Mother of Jesus spoken tongues. Paul said, I would
-
that you all spoke in tongues. The greatest example Christianity
-
ever walked here at the Great Apostle. Paul said, I
-
speak in tongues more than you all. And the church's
-
sold organized religion has sold people to lie that it's
-
passed away, and it's not even in the scriptures. There's
-
no scriptural support for that at all. They extract one
-
scripture out of one Corinthians thirteen, taken out a context
-
to try and say, well, it's passed away now that
-
we have the Bible, and it's not even saying that.
-
So I encourage you move into the fullness.
-
If you're going to.
-
Walk in jubilee and proclaim jubilee, move into the fullness
-
of the Holy Spirit. The tongues. The primary purpose of
-
tongues is for your prayer life and your prayer language.
-
To pray the mysteries of God, to pray the secrets
-
of God, to pray for unknown things. To move out
-
of the natural mind and reasoning into the praying by
-
the spirit. Pray with your mind and pray with your spirit.
-
Paul said, do both.
-
Don't miss out on God's best. Don't let religion rob
-
you tradition rob you okay, Acts Chapter four, verse thirty Notice,
-
and when they had prayed Acts four point thirty one,
-
the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and
-
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began.
-
What happened is they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
-
They began to speak the Word of God with boldness.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Now this was after the dead Pentecost, so they were
-
baptized in the Holy Spirit. But they were filled again
-
two chapters there. So there's one baptism, but there could
-
be many fillings where you have fresh infilling of the
-
Holy Ghost as you pray, as you seek God, fresh indument,
-
fresh empowerment from on high. So our first vital point
-
we have the same Holy Spirit. Now finished, Dake and
-
his reference Bible, made an interesting note about the spirit.
-
We'll have this on the screen. He said this, the
-
spirit upon one indicates his moving one to do some
-
supernatural work. Now I remember spirit was upon Jesus. The
-
spirit is upon or in us, The spirit upon one
-
and indicates his moving one to do some supernatural work.
-
Not an example is given of the spirit coming upon one.
-
Her remained powerless to do what he was called to do.
-
What's he saying there, he's saying there's no example in
-
the Bible of anybody receiving the spirit coming upon them,
-
and they remained powerless to do what they were called
-
to do. Well, how about us? The spirit is upon us,
-
the spirit is in us. We should be walking into
-
power to do what God's calling us to do. It's
-
the anointing, the anointing. Jesus said, the spirit of the
-
Lord is upon me, because He's anointed me that which
-
is our second vital point. We have the same anointing.
-
The same anointing is in us. The same spirit is
-
in us or upon us. The same anointing is in us,
-
the anointing. We have an anointing. You're there an Acts.
-
Look at Acts ten thirty eight. Jesus did these jubilee freedoms.
-
He ministered them, he proclaimed them by the anointing. Acts
-
ten thirty eight. Notice you know of Jesus of Nazareth,
-
how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with
-
power with dunamus, and how he went about doing good
-
and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for
-
God was with him now right there. That just one
-
verse shows you where sickness and disease, and oppression is
-
from sickness and disease is oppression of the devil. It's
-
not a blessing of God, it's oppression of the devil. Says,
-
he went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed
-
by the devil. Why, for God was with him. So
-
recognize who your enemy is, recognize where sickness comes from.
-
And Jesus did this. He went about doing good healing
-
by the anointing God anointed him. Okay, well, you might say,
-
well that was Jesus, Yes it was. Go to Second
-
Corinthians chapter one. Second Corinthians chapter one. You might say, yes,
-
I can see that Jesus was anointed. Because he was anointed,
-
he was able to do these things. Well, how about
-
you and me, let's read Second Corinthians chapter one. She
-
got it, say got it?
-
Got it all?
-
Send Corinthians chapter one. Now, he who establishes us with
-
you in Christ and anointed us.
-
Is God.
-
You are anointed. I'm anointed. He who establishes us with
-
you in Christ and anointed us.
-
You are anointed.
-
Who's also sealed us and gave us the spirit in
-
our hearts as a pledge. But notice he says you
-
are anointed by God. Well, someone might say, yeah, but
-
that's only one scripture, all right, go to first John
-
chapter two. Bible says, out of mouth of two or
-
three witnesses, let every fact be established. Let's establish it.
-
First John chapter two, verse twenty one, John two twenty. Yes,
-
Jesus was anointed. But what about you? What about me?
-
One John two twenty But you say me, you have
-
an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know
-
you have an anointing. Say I have an anointing from
-
the Holy One, from the Holy We got to ask
-
ourselves what am I doing with that anointing. You have
-
an anointing from the Holy One. He has anointed us
-
as God. You have an anointing, one anointing from the
-
Holy One, and you all know. Some translation says you
-
know all things, not saying we know everything. You never
-
have to read or study or have a teach or
-
anything once you get the holy ghosts anointing, but saying
-
you know what you need to know at the time
-
you need to know it.
-
You know the good from the evil, you know the
-
false from the real.
-
Because in context, there's also talking about false teachers, false prophets.
-
When you have that anointing, the anointing will say and
-
that's not right, or the anointing will say that's right.
-
You have that warm, fuzzy, velvety feeling if you would.
-
You know, you don't have to know a lot. You
-
don't have to necessarily even study culture or something like
-
that to know what's true and what's not. The anointing
-
will show you know all things when it comes to
-
what he's talking about here in context, about people that
-
were not of the truth versus people of the truth.
-
I remember, as a brand new Christian, I was in Ventura, California.
-
I don't even know if I was working for teen
-
Challenge yet at that point, but there's a college there,
-
Ventura College, and I was a brand new committed believer.
-
I was and still them, but was so excited about
-
the Lord and about his word, and carried a pocket
-
New Testament with me everywhere I went. And I remember
-
for some reason, I was up on the campus. I
-
wasn't going to school there. I was up there on
-
the campus for some reason, and I sat down on
-
a bench and got out my New Testament was reading
-
my New Testament.
-
Well, two.
-
Students or seeming students. They appeared to be students. Came
-
up to me and says, hey, man, you're reading the Bible.
-
You're reading the Word.
-
I said, yeah, cool.
-
And I thought a lot's nice reaction. They said, we'd
-
like to invite you to a Bible study. We're all
-
about the Word. And they were just like they talked
-
about the Word. And they invited me his Bible study.
-
And I went to it and they had a group
-
of about thirty people in a classroom and they had
-
Bibles and they talk about the Word.
-
But something inside me is just going.
-
Something's not right here. And I didn't know enough to
-
know anything, but the Holy Ghost was bearing witness. And
-
then I found out that they were the Way International.
-
I don't know if you've heard of The Way International.
-
It's a cult.
-
It's a cult group. They use the Bible, but they're
-
a cult group. And I thought, thank God, he saved
-
me from that. He you know, if I hadn't had
-
that witness, I might just got full bore into that
-
and said, oh man, this is the greatest thing since
-
sliced bread. They are God.
-
I don't know. That may be another group.
-
There's a bunch of them out there as we know so,
-
but they could be they could be the ones I mean.
-
And they talked about the Word and made it sound
-
like the Word was great, but they didn't believe basic
-
Christian truths, all right, So look at them Verse twenty seven.
-
And as for you, as for you, say as for me,
-
look at your neighbor, and tell them, as for me,
-
the anointing which I have received from Him a bide
-
in me. So as for you, the anointing you've received
-
abides in you. There's three witnesses right there. You have
-
an anointing, you've received it. It abides in you, and
-
you have no need for anyone to teach you. But
-
as his anointing teaches you about all things and is
-
true and is not a lie, and just as it
-
has taught you, you abide in him. Now again, this
-
real quick point of clarification. He's not saying that once
-
you have the Holy Spirit, once you have the anointing,
-
you don't need anybody to teach you anything, because that
-
would be totally contradictory to Jesus giving to the church
-
the ministry gift of a teacher, an apostle of prophet, evangelists,
-
a pastor, Why would he give us those ministry gifts
-
to teach us if we don't need anybody to teach us.
-
Why would he inspire people to write books to teach
-
us if we don't need anybody to teach us. He's saying,
-
when it comes to these things, he's good and evil
-
and knowing the truth. You don't have to check with
-
somebody say is this right wrong? The spirit of God
-
will bear witness. Now we need to take advantage of
-
teachers and counselors and anointed books and different things to
-
learn to grow. But when it push comes to shove,
-
you've got the anointing to bear witness to teach you
-
what you need to know. Hallelujah. So the same anointing.
-
It wasn't at the same degree or measure of Jesus,
-
but it's the same anointing. It's the same holy spirit
-
that Jesus had. He said, the spirit of the Lord
-
is upon me because He's anointed me. That same anointing
-
is in you, same spirit, same anointing. When you have
-
the anointing, you are divinely equipped. You are supernaturally empowered
-
to do what you can't do on your own. You
-
know a lot of times we sell ourselves short. We think, well,
-
I just feel inadequate, or I lack the training, or
-
I lack the knowledge, I lack the understanding. You can
-
call on the anointing on your job. You might say,
-
I just don't feel like I know what to do here.
-
Call on the anointing.
-
Lord.
-
I thank you you've anointed me. Parents with their children.
-
Sometimes it's just like, oh man, I feel like I'm
-
in over my head. You may be call on the anointing. Lord,
-
I thank you for the anointing. I thank you for
-
the equipping. I thank you for the empowerment. You may
-
be starting a new job and you think, what did
-
I get into?
-
Call on the anointing.
-
You may need to make a decision or need to
-
know what to do. You're not on your own. Lord,
-
I thank you you have anointed me. You've equipped me,
-
power me to do what I can't do on my own.
-
Hallelujah.
-
It's your secret weapon. Isaiah ten twenty seven says the
-
yoke is destroyed because of the anointing. The burden is removed,
-
The yoke is destroyed because of the anointing. Now, if
-
you read that in some translations, you won't see it
-
at all. But in the King James and the Little Translation,
-
you'll you'll see that because it's that passage can be
-
rendered various ways, and the translators rendered various ways. But
-
the anointing is the yoke destroying, burden removing power of God.
-
So any yokes that we have, any burdens that we have,
-
can be destroyed and removed by the anointing.
-
Hallelujah.
-
A yoke can keep you from doing what you need
-
to do, but they anointing will destroy it.
-
Hallelujah.
-
You can call on the anointing in all of life. Lord,
-
I need your anointing. Here a new task, a new
-
thing that you're doing, and think, oh man, this is hard,
-
and my flesh is really struggling with this. Lord, I
-
call on your anointing. I call on your anointing. Thank
-
him for the anointing. So that's the second vital point.
-
We have the same Holy Spirit, we have the same anointing.
-
And then thirdly, Jesus commissioned his church to do the
-
same works, the same work said he did where he said,
-
the spirit the Lord is upon me because He's anointed
-
me to preach the Gospel of the poor. Sent me
-
to heal the broken hearted, preach deliverance to the captives,
-
recovery of sight to the blind, set at liberty them
-
that are bruised, to preach the Year of Jubilee. Jesus
-
commissioned us to do those same things. I would encourage
-
you to begin to make that confession over yourself on
-
a regular basis, and there won't be any matter you
-
start confessing it, praying it over your health. It won't
-
be any time you won't. You have it memorized, and
-
you just say, Lord, I thank you. The spear 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 broken heart, to preach deliverance to
-
the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set
-
at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the Year
-
of Jubilee, the acceptable year of the Lord. That's how
-
the King James, and just begin to profess it over yourself.
-
Confess over yourself, write it down on a little card. Initially,
-
begin to speak it over yourself, Pray it over yourself,
-
meditate it, and then you have it memorized, and then
-
you begin to say it and speak it. So our
-
third point, I'll close with this gee he says commissioned
-
his church to do the same works, the same works.
-
Look at Mark sixteen, Mark chapter sixteen. And this is
-
another one of those passages that you know, I know
-
the NIV, and some they tend to leave it out
-
because some manuscripts they haven't found it in. But I've
-
done some study on I've got a whole book in
-
my office that thoroughly researches this passage, and they say
-
it is authentic. And even if you say, well, I'm
-
not so sure. Everything he says there is found in
-
the rest of the word, so it's not contradictory to
-
the word. It's right in line. I notice Isaiah's six
-
or Isaiah Mark sixteen fifteen. And he said to them,
-
go into all the world and preach the Gospel to
-
all creation. He who has believed and has had been
-
baptized shall be saved. But he has been has disbelieved,
-
shall be condemned. In these signs will accompany those who
-
have believed in my name or by my authority, they
-
will cast out demons, or by my anointing, they will
-
cast out demons. They will speak with new tongues.
-
They will pick up serpents.
-
If they drink any deadly poison, it shall not hurt them.
-
They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
-
So then when the Lord of Jesus spoken to them,
-
he was received up into heaven and sat down at
-
the right hand of God. And they went out and
-
preached everywhere while the Lord worked with them and confirmed
-
the word by the signs that followed.
-
Hallelujah.
-
That's our commission. How can we do that by the anointing,
-
by the spirit. And when again, when it saying pick
-
up serpents, it's saying remove serpents. Do away with serpents,
-
which are types of demon forces, demon spirits. It's not
-
talking about handling snakes like they do in West Virginia,
-
but talking about removing demonic forces, removing demonic force. If
-
they drink any deadly Notice the word poison is in
-
italics at substitute by the translators. You drink any deadly poison,
-
won't hurt you. I think I'm talking about false doctrine,
-
false teaching. If you drink anything deadly, it's not going
-
to hurt you. If you walk in that anointing. Go
-
to John fourteen John fourteen, Verse twelve. Jesus commissioned us
-
his church to do the same works by the same spirit,
-
buy the same anointing to preach jubilee. To minister jubilee.
-
John fourteen twelve. Jesus, speaking truly, truly, I say to you,
-
he who believes in me, the works that I do,
-
shall he do also in greater works than these shall
-
he do. Because I go to the we are to
-
be doing the works, the works of Jesus, the works
-
of Jubilee. You might say, I don't think I can.
-
You have the same holy spirit, You have the same anointing.
-
You have the authority the commissioning last verse John fifteen
-
four and five. John fifteen four and five. Abide in me,
-
Jesus said, and I in you. As the branch cannot
-
bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine,
-
so neither can you unless you abide in me. I
-
am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides
-
in me and I in him, he bears much fruit.
-
For apart from me, you can do no thing. So
-
we do it by abiding in the vine. We do
-
it by the power of Jesus. We have the same spirit,
-
we have the same anointing, we have the same commission,
-
and we can draw on that vine life. We don't
-
have to produce the fruit. We just draw on the
-
vine life. He's the vine where the branches. We entwine
-
ourselves around him. We draw nearer to him, we develop
-
that relationship with him. We abide in him, we bear
-
much fruit. Because apart from him we can do nothing.
-
But if we abide in him.
-
We will bear much fruit. Hallelujah.
-
The spear of the Lord is upon you. The anointing
-
is in you. The authority and the commission has been
-
given to you to minister to people who are lost, hurting, dying, signing, crying, confused, demonized,
-
whatever the case may be, Receive that tonight. Father, in
-
Jesus' name, We thank you for the anointing. We thank
-
you Father for the Holy Spirit in us. We thank
-
you for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We thank
-
you for our heavenly prayer language. We thank you for
-
the authority, the commission you gave us. You said, I
-
give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and
-
over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall
-
by any means hurt you, Luke tenth nineteen to twenty. Lord,
-
I pray that each one of us walk in a
-
greater degree, a greater measure of that authority, that anointing,
-
Holy Spirit, that we truly will walk as your ambassadors,
-
as your ministers of reconciliation. Use us, Lord for your glory,
-
for your honor. Make yourself available to him. He's the vine.
-
You're the branch. Isaiah said, here are my Lord?
-
Send me?
-
Remember God said, who will go for us? And Isaiah said,
-
here am I send me? Would you say that tonight?
-
Here am I send me? Here, my Lord send me?
-
Hallelujah? Here am I send me? Say this with me?
-
Father, Thank you for the Holy Spirit, Thank you for
-
the anointing, Thank you for the commissioning. Thank you for
-
the authority. I am an ambassador of Jesus Christ. I
-
am a minister of reconciliation. I draw on the vine life.
-
Without Jesus, I can do nothing. But I'm not without him.
-
I abide in him, and I bear much fruit for
-
the glory of God in Jesus' name. Amen, let's stand
-
and let's sing a song in closing Hallelujah, and just
-
let God speak to you and minister to you. Hallelujah.
-
