-
I want to talk to you tonight about the King's anointing.
-
You know, Pastor has ministered this before on the King's
-
anointing, that we have all those that are born again, those
-
who have called on the name of the Lord, those who have
-
confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord.
-
We have the King's anointing upon our lives.
-
We have it upon our lives. We're anointed.
-
We are anointed people. We're anointed people.
-
We are not left helpless. We are anointed people to be
-
able to navigate in this life during this time, to be able to
-
overcome in every situation that we are facing.
-
Everything, everything that we may be facing, we are anointed
-
to be an overcomer. You know, Pastor started off
-
this year and talking about we have been given the reigning
-
spirit, Amen. The reigning spirit.
-
We don't have the spirit of this world.
-
We've been given the reigning spirit, his spirit that lives on
-
the inside of us the minute we call on the name of the Lord.
-
And so therefore, that means what we know.
-
He's preached this many times, and I don't want to get over
-
into that, that we are to reign in this life.
-
We're to reign in this life. We are to be able to overcome,
-
rule and reign anything that we are navigating in this life.
-
Amen. Why?
-
Because we have an anointing. We have a benefit that the world
-
does not have. Period.
-
That's why no matter what they do, it still ends up to the
-
bottomless pit. But what we have is an anointing
-
to be able to rise up out of anything that's going on in our
-
world, in our life, in our whatever it is.
-
Amen. We have an anointing to rise
-
above it, Hallelujah. And we are going to need that
-
anointing more and more as we see the day drawing near.
-
Say I'm anointed, Hallelujah. I'm anointed to reign.
-
Say that. Yeah, we're anointed to reign,
-
Hallelujah. And I'm going to tell you, we're
-
going to have to remind ourselves of that.
-
What am I doing sitting here, not raining in this situation?
-
I had to remind myself of that for the last four weeks.
-
No, I'm going to reign over this situation.
-
I'm going to rule over this situation because I am anointed.
-
And I didn't do it to myself. The King did it to me.
-
Hallelujah, He chose me. Come on, He anointed me for such
-
a time as this in His Kingdom. Hallelujah, Glory to God.
-
So we don't have to allow anything that we're going
-
through to rule over us because we are anointed.
-
What are we anointed for? Not just for us to be able to
-
overcome and reign with what we're going, what we're going
-
through, but we also have an anointing to be like what Laura
-
was talking about, to be the light, to go out and be the
-
light in darkness. Hallelujah, glory to God.
-
Now look at that's what I want to talk about tonight.
-
What are you? You're anointed for what?
-
Anointed for? What are you anointed so that
-
when you come to a spirit filled conference you can run in that
-
round and feel the power of God. Anointed for what?
-
Because I feel like that's all sometimes, especially in some
-
circles of believers lives, that that's all they're chasing is I
-
just want to feel the anointing, right?
-
Jesus clearly lets us know what we're anointed for, why we have
-
an anointing, what we are anointed for.
-
And I believe that in this hour we have to rise up in that
-
anointing to be able to continue to go out and do what he is
-
asking of us as his believers to do.
-
Not to run around from conference to conference and
-
say, oh, this conference was anointed or wow, this minister
-
laid hands on me and I felt the anointing right.
-
But what is this anointing for? Acts 1038 says how God anointed
-
Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power, and
-
he went around doing what good and doing what healing all who
-
were oppressed by the devil because God was with him.
-
He was anointed by God with the power of the Holy Spirit to go
-
out and to do good and to bring healing to people's lives.
-
That is what the anointing was for we see in Jesus.
-
All right, now let's go to a few other scriptures here in first
-
John chapter 2 verse 20, it says this out of the amplified.
-
It says, but you have an anointing from the Holy 1.
-
You have been set apart, specially gifted and prepared by
-
the Holy Spirit and all of you know the truth because he
-
teaches us. Here it is.
-
Look at this, He illuminates our minds.
-
That means the light has come on.
-
You're no longer in darkness because the light, the
-
illumination of the Holy Ghost just brought that to you.
-
Come on, he says by the Holy Spirit and all of you know the
-
truth. Excuse me.
-
And guards us from error. Now in first John chapter 4 and
1 John 4 chapter mention
-
maybe one day I'll minister on this.
-
We know that it says we were given the anointing One
-
translation says we have an auction from the Holy One.
-
And really the anointing here in this context in first John
1 John 4 chapter mention
-
chapter 4 is talking about the fact we have an auction.
-
We have an anointing on the inside from the Holy 1 so that
-
we'll know the difference between truth and a lie.
-
So now we see another aspect or facet of the Holy Ghost and the
-
anointing upon your life is so that you no longer have to be in
-
deception. You no longer have to buy the
-
lies. You no longer have to be a a
-
person that is deceived in reality of what's going on in a
-
situation, which is part of the anointing that you have, which
-
is very important in this day and hour that we're living when
-
we know he is the father of lies.
-
The God of this world is the father of lies.
-
And have we not seen this world filled full in the hour that
-
we're living of lies? But thank God you have an
-
anointing from the Holy One. Thank God you have auction so
-
that you'll know. Well, this isn't even the truth.
-
This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.
-
It's a lie, right? So this is one reason why he
-
lets us know there's an anointing in our lives, so that
-
we no longer have to listen to the lies of the enemy, so that
-
we no longer have to buy his lies.
-
Amen. So, but I just wanted to bring
-
reference to the fact that we have an anointing from the Holy
-
One, those that are born again, those that are spirit filled, we
-
have an anointing from the Holy One or we have auction from the
-
Holy Spirit. Now let's look at Acts chapter 1
Acts 1 chapter mention
-
and Acts chapter 2. Acts chapter one, one through 8
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
says it says the first account I composed Theophilus about all
-
that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was
-
taken up to heaven, after he had by the Holy Spirit given orders
-
to the apostles whom he had chosen.
-
To these he also presented himself alive after his
-
suffering by many convincing proofs and appearing to them
-
over a period of 40 days. And Speaking of the things
-
concerning the Kingdom of God, God gathering them together, He
-
commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what
-
the Father had promised, which he said, You had heard from me.
-
For John baptizes with water, but you will be baptized with
-
the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
-
So when they had come together, they were asking him saying,
-
Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the Kingdom to Israel?
-
And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times of the
-
epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority, but
-
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.
-
Now we see the Holy Spirit that will come upon you will bring
-
forth what power? So no longer will you just have
-
an anointing or an auction for the spirit of truth, right?
-
And the difference between the spirit of error, I believe the
-
Scripture calls it. Now you receive power.
-
Here's another facet of the Holy Spirit, that when we are
-
baptized with the Holy Spirit, we will receive power.
-
When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, comes upon you.
-
Why? And you will be my what?
-
Witnesses both in Jerusalem and Judea, Samaria, and even unto
-
the remotest parts of the earth. So you are supposed to, once the
-
Holy Spirit comes upon you, come on, He already lives in you if
-
you're born again. But then He wants to come upon
-
you and endue you with power. Evidence of that is that you'll
-
speak in a new tongue the language of the Kingdom, but
-
there will be power associated with that so that you can now go
-
out and be a what? A witness.
-
So this anointing of the Holy Ghost, this power coming upon
-
you is so that you can witness. It's so that you can go out, not
-
so you can fall down on the ground and feel the presence of
-
God, or roll around or do all the expressions that we see the
-
Holy Spirit can bring. It's so that you can be a
-
witness so that you can go out, not so you can just sit up
-
underneath the power and just want to stay underneath this
-
power. Now I have power everywhere I
-
go, right? So in Acts chapter 2 we see in
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
verses one through 4 it says Now when the day of Pentecost had
-
come, they were all together in one place.
-
And suddenly there came from the heaven a noise like a violent
-
rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were
-
sitting. And there appeared on them
-
tongues of fire distributing among themselves, and they and
-
it rested on each one of them. They were all filled with the
-
Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit
-
was giving them utterance. So here we see the evidence of
-
that power coming upon them. Is that what they received?
-
The tongue through the utterance of the Holy Spirit?
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
So this is what we say, that we are a spirit filled church.
-
A spirit filled church will have evidence of tongues, not just
-
oh, we're all spirit filled because the Spirit lives in US.
-
No, we are a spirit filled church that receives the gifts
-
of the Spirit and the gift of the Spirit with the power coming
-
upon us is that there is evidence of tongues.
-
OK, because I know a lot of you know anyway, so let's go to 2nd
-
Corinthians chapter 1 verses 20 through 22 2nd Corinthians.
-
I'm proving a case here and then we're going to get into where I
-
really want to go. 2nd Corinthians 120 through 22.
-
It says for as many as are the promises of God in Christ, they
-
are all answered yes. So through him we say Amen to
-
the glory of God. Now it is God who establishes
-
and if confirms us in joint fellowship with you in Christ
-
and who has anointed us, say I'm anointed.
-
What is that anointing? Here we are seeing that it's
-
doing, it's empowering us because again, power comes upon
-
our lives. Therefore we are not helpless or
-
without power. We have the power of God that we
-
can tap into and that is upon our life and in our life in
-
every situation we're going through.
-
And so He lets us know here, it's empowering us with the
-
gifts of the Spirit as well. It is He who is also that put
-
His seal on us. That is, that He has
-
appropriated us and certified us as His and has given us the Holy
-
Spirit in our hearts as a pledge like a security deposit or a
-
guarantee, the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life.
-
Hallelujah, say I'm anointed by the Holy Spirit.
-
Hallelujah, glory to God and we've all, all are anointed.
-
Not just the pastors, not just the teachers, not just the
-
evangelist, not just the prophets.
-
Come on. Not just his special people, No,
-
we are all his special people and he has put it anointing upon
-
us all if we've received it. Hallelujah.
-
Every single one of us are anointed.
-
The first thing we're anointed to do is know the difference
-
between the truth and a lie. The second thing we're anointed
-
to do is to be able to go be a witness for him and the Kingdom
-
of God. Hallelujah.
-
So I believe in these last days we need to be going out and
-
being that witness. That is what we are anointed
-
for. It's why we are anointed to be a
-
witness for the Kingdom of God, to be a witness for the Kingdom
-
of God. Hallelujah.
-
Now look at Isaiah, Isaiah chapter 10 and verse 27.
Isaiah 10 chapter mention
-
It says this. And it shall come to pass in
-
that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy
-
shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be
-
destroyed because of the anointing.
-
We call it the yoke destroying, come on, burden removing power
-
of God. That is what the anointing is
-
upon your life. It is the burden removing, come
-
on, yoke destroying power of God so that when you go out into
-
this Dark World, there is an anointing upon your life to
-
break off yokes and burdens in people's lives.
-
And it's time we start opening our mouths and being a witness
-
in this hour that we are living in this dark hour.
-
The church has made the anointing something we play
-
with. So let's look what Jesus said in
-
Luke chapter 4 and verses 18 through 19.
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
It says this, say I'm anointed, say I'm a maturing church,
-
Hallelujah. That's our assignment more and
-
more in this hour that we're living.
-
Hallelujah. Luke chapter 4, verses 18
-
through 19 says this. You know this.
-
This is what Jesus said. The Spirit of the Lord is upon
-
me. Why?
-
Because he had anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor,
-
He sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance
-
to the captives and the recovery of sight to the blind, to set at
-
liberty with them that are bruised, to preach the
-
acceptable year of the Lord. Hallelujah.
-
This clearly gives us a description of what we're
-
anointed for. Because if this is the King's
-
anointing, we have this same anointing.
-
This is our assignment as ambassadors of Christ in the
-
Kingdom of God, not to walk around and say, whoo, I feel the
-
anointing right? Here is a clear description of
-
what the anointing is for. So let's look at this in
-
Scripture. What is the good news?
-
Well, we know what the good news is, right?
-
We at this church knows that the good news is things concerning
-
Jesus and the Kingdom of God. Amen.
-
Hallelujah, good news, glad tidings, the Scripture says, and
-
look at what he says in Luke 81. It says, and it came to pass
-
afterwards that he went throughout every city.
-
This is Jesus and every village preaching and showing the glad
-
tidings of the Kingdom of God, showing, demonstrating glad
-
tidings, demonstrating the good news of the what Kingdom of God
-
Here it is. And the 12 disciples were what
-
with him? Hallelujah.
-
Then in Luke chapter 4 and verse 43 it says this.
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
And he said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of God to all
-
the other cities also. For therefore I that is what I
-
was sent to do, to go out to preach the good news,
-
demonstrating the Kingdom of God.
-
This is what he was anointed to do.
-
And this is the same exact thing.
-
We have the anointing for the same exact thing, and it's going
-
to take every one of us recognizing we've all been
-
anointed to go out and do exactly what he said we would
-
do. All of us.
-
We're going to have to do it in these last days.
-
Look what he says here. Number one, let's look.
-
He says he's anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
-
Who's the poor? Is it just the poor man on the
-
side of the road begging? No, it actually means the
-
spiritually poor and the physically poor because everyone
-
is poor compared to the Kingdom of God.
-
You are a poor man if you do not have the Kingdom period.
-
You can be, you know, Elon Musk that can drop 50 billion here
-
and whatever here and if he does not know the Lord Jesus Christ
-
and the Kingdom of God, he is a poor beggard man Poor.
-
Everyone without Jesus Christ is poor, period.
-
This is what it means to be destitute where you want
-
destitute. It also means helpless where you
-
want helpless. No matter what you tried to do,
-
you couldn't pull your way out of the mess you were in.
-
You were helpless. What else does it mean to be
-
poor? Powerless.
-
You were powerless no matter how much money you drugs you tried
-
to buy. Come on.
-
Alcohol. You tried to drown out smoking
-
your weed. No, none of that, come on, could
-
pull you up out of no matter how many crystals you know today.
-
How many incense you burn? You're a poor man.
-
Without Jesus, you're a poor man.
-
He says it. You're spiritually bankrupt,
-
spiritually banquet Rupp, you're powerless, lacking in
-
everything. When you were look up this word
-
poor in the Greek. It is lacking in everything.
-
Everything it includes. You're lacking in morals, you're
-
lacking in eternal riches, you're lacking in wealth,
-
influence. You're lacking in it.
-
Oh man, you're lacking in your position and honor.
-
You need to know this so that when you go out, it doesn't
-
matter who you encounter. You can walk up to the president
-
of the United States. And if they are not born again,
-
I don't care how powerful they may be in the natural, you have
-
an anointing upon your life that is greater than any power of
-
this world. Hallelujah.
-
And you have a greater influence.
-
Come on then, no matter how much influence they think they may
-
have around the world, No, Jesus Christ is king.
-
Come on of all the earth, glory to God, and you have an
-
anointing upon your life. You have an anointing.
-
Hallelujah. James chapter 2 verses 5 says
-
this. Listen, my beloved brothers and
-
sisters, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in
-
faith? Hallelujah as believers to be
-
heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him.
-
Hallelujah. Oh, we're so rich in faith.
-
Glory to God as a believer. Hallelujah.
-
So that's why I'm saying you ought to always be thankful that
-
He chose you and He brought you out of darkness and brought you
-
into His marvelous life and put His Spirit within you and put
-
His Spirit upon you and has anointed you to walk around in
-
this world and in this earth to be able to demonstrate the power
-
of the Kingdom of God everywhere you go, Hallelujah.
-
So that no matter what situation you're in, you can rise above it
-
and rise to the top every time, every time, Hallelujah.
-
Nothing can keep you down, Hallelujah.
-
Then he goes on to say to heal the broken hearted.
-
What's the broken hearted? Who's the broken hearted
-
Hallelujah? You know those that have been
-
shattered to pieces? Do you know people that have
-
been shattered to pieces? We once I know I was shattered
-
to pieces. I was broken and I needed to be
-
fixed, and the only thing that could fix me is the power of God
-
shattered to pieces. That is who the broken hearted
-
is. But He came to heal.
-
He came to bring deliverance. That's what that word means.
-
He came to bring deliverance. He came to bring salvation, to
-
cure, to make whole again. Those that were shattered into
-
pieces, those that were bruised. Did you take some bruising?
-
Come on, when you were living for the devil, were you crushed?
-
That's what the broken heart, they're crushed.
-
There's so many people that are just crushed today.
-
They're they're shattered to pieces.
-
So much so their identity. They're trying to pull for any,
-
trying to mutilate their bodies. This is nothing new.
-
They mutilated their bodies back in the day.
-
They'd run to the tombs and slice their wrists and slice
-
themselves. Because people are broken, the
-
devil has shattered them to pieces.
-
This is what the anointing upon our life is for.
-
To make free this is what this means.
-
To make free those that have been trodden down, that have
-
been tread down by Satan and trampled on.
-
How many people do we know that Satan is beating them to death,
-
beating them down? Look at them on the streets,
-
guys. Look at them on this drug that
-
makes them stand over like that. I mean, look at them.
-
The devil has done this to people's lives.
-
This is what the anointing is for.
-
To heal, to cure those that have been tread down by Satan, those
-
who have been bound by Satan, those that are shackled, right?
-
We talk about break every chain, break every chain.
-
We can sing it so good and it sounds great.
-
Sounds great, but are we actually going out and doing the
-
very thing that we're singing about?
-
Romans 1620 says this. And the God of all peace shall
-
bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
-
Come on, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
-
This is why he was bruised. Come on.
-
You know, in that this is the same word bruised that God said
-
to Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 1.
Genesis 1 chapter mention
-
He said, but I'm going to send my seed.
-
Come on. And he is going to bruise him.
-
What's he saying? He said I came to cure, to heal.
-
I actually came to Bruce Satan to put him back up underneath
-
your feet so that you can tread him down now, so that he no
-
longer has to tread on you, but that you can tread on him.
-
That's what you're anointed for now, to tread Him under your
-
feet. Hallelujah.
-
He says this in Psalms 34. It says this in verse 18.
-
The Lord is near the heartbroken, and He saves those
-
who are crushed in spirit. He's near the broken hearted,
-
those that are crushed. This is why he was anointed.
-
This is why he came not just to, well, we're going to see to
-
restore us back into God's original intent.
-
And this was part of the restoration was being able to
-
put that anointing back upon our lives because we know the Holy
-
Spirit departed when Adam rebelled against God.
-
So not only did he come just to save us, no, he came back
-
through his redemption to restore unto us the Holy Spirit,
-
to be able to live on the inside of mankind again, and then to
-
anoint them come on to be able to have rulership over the earth
-
or over Satan again. So he says this to bring
-
deliverance to the captives. This literally tells us that we
-
were bound to Satan. We were his captives.
-
We were his. Really.
-
When you look up that word captives, it means you were
-
actually a prisoner of war. A prisoner of war.
-
You were in His captivity. He had you bound and shackled.
-
Had you bound and had you shackled.
-
So Jesus came, and the anointing upon his life was to bring
-
deliverance to the captives released from the bondage.
-
What does that mean? You were bound to Him.
-
So He's coming to bring release. Or while another word would be a
-
pardon to your captivity, a pardon to your captivity bring
-
forgiveness of the sin as if it you had never committed it.
-
That's what pardon means, right? You're pardoned from that as if
-
you never committed the crime. You never committed the sin.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to God.
-
Hallelujah. I don't know about you, but I'm
-
getting ready to run around this place.
-
Hallelujah. Oh, forgiveness of sin.
-
He pardoned it. The remission of the penalty
-
that went belong to us, the penalty that belonged to us, for
-
all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
-
So we were a prisoner at war, and He came come on to break us
-
out. Come on, break us out.
-
A prison break. But he did it legally.
-
You know how He did it legally? By his blood.
-
By his blood. Thank the Lord that he was
-
willing to go to the cross, pour out his blood on that mercy
-
seat, oh, so that He could break us free from being a prisoner of
-
the devil. Hallelujah.
-
So it says this in John 836. It says if the son, therefore,
-
come on, has set you free, then you are what?
-
Free in deed, we're free. We're free.
-
We're no longer bound, we should no longer be shackled.
-
No longer be shackled. We're free and free indeed, if
-
we belong to Him, Amen, and have received His blood for the
-
penalty of our sin. Acts 2618 says this to open
-
their eyes because listen, when you are bound in sin, you are
-
blind. This is the next straight next
-
point he's going to say is recovery of sight to the blind.
-
When we are of this world, when we were born into this world of
-
the sin nature, right, we were blinded.
-
We were in darkness. There was a veil over our eyes,
-
the scripture says so. Acts 2618 says to open their
-
eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, from darkness
-
to light. See, Laura was being led by the
-
Spirit from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto
-
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin and an
-
inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith.
-
That is in me. Hallelujah.
-
So he came to open our eyes, the blind eyes.
-
Look at here. That's what that means, recovery
-
of sight to the blind. We were not that he's not just
-
talking about most a lot of times, you know, people have
-
said, well, that was just the physical things that Jesus did
-
because he healed the blind eyes.
-
No, we were all blind. We were all in darkness.
-
It is talking about spiritual blindness.
-
We couldn't see the light. We were spiritually blinded.
-
Now did he heal people's physical sight?
-
Absolutely. And he does that as well.
-
But here he is talking about spiritual blindness.
-
In Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4, it says this Satan,
2 Corinthians 4 chapter mention
-
who is the God of this world has blinded the minds of those who
-
don't believe. They are unable to see the
-
glorious light of God. This is why I'm telling you, you
-
need to be thankful you've seen the light.
-
Never not appreciate the fact that you have the light on the
-
inside of you. That was the first thing he
-
said. Right.
-
And Colossians, you've been transferred from the domain of
-
darkness and brought into the marvelous light of the Kingdom
-
of God. Thank God for the light.
-
Thank God for the light because we were all blinded.
-
We were not able. It says they were not unable to
-
see the glorious light of the the good news.
-
They don't understand this message about the glory of
-
Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
-
Isaiah 42 and seven says this to open the blind eyes to bring out
-
the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness
-
out of the prison house. Hallelujah glory to God y'all
-
should be shouting a lot better than you know.
-
Matthew chapter 4 verse 16 and 17 says this out of the
-
amplified The people who were sitting living in spiritual
-
darkness have seen a great light, and for those who were
-
sitting living in the land and the shadow of spiritual and
-
moral death upon them, a light has dawned.
-
Hallelujah. From that time Jesus began to
-
what? Preach and say repent, change
-
your inner self, your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live
-
your life in a way that proves repentance.
-
Seek God's purpose for your life, for the Kingdom of heaven
-
is an at hand. That's what he said.
-
Repent. The Kingdom of heaven is right
-
at hand. This is why I'm anointed to go
-
out and preach the gospel, come on to the poor, to set the blind
-
and the captives free, and to bring deliverance to people's
-
lives that are bruised, that are crushed, that are hurting, that
-
are shattered to pieces. That's why you're anointed.
-
That's why you're anointed. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
Glory to God to set at liberty those that are bruised.
-
This is really great right here when I look this up and what
-
this true meaning was to set at liberty those that were bruised,
-
That's what it should say. Those that were bruised, He came
-
to bring freedom to those that were bruised.
-
But that word set is interesting to set at liberty those that
-
were bruised. That means to sit or to set you
-
in your appointed position. Isn't that what he said?
-
Adam, where are you? You're out of position.
-
You're out of the original plan that I had for your life.
-
You're out of position. So he came to set us back in our
-
position that has been appointed for us.
-
Come on, that anointing that is upon our life to be able to go
-
out in the position that he set us in.
-
We are free. We are free to do it because He
-
set us back in our place, our appointed place, God's original
-
intent for man, so that no longer do we come on have to be
-
bound by the enemy, but we can actually go out and set people
-
free that are bound. It also means to order or to
-
Commission. He's commissioned us to be
-
ambassadors to represent the Kingdom of God.
-
He's ordered us, actually commissioned us, set us in our
-
appointed place once we got born again and got free from the
-
domain of the devil. Come on, He put us in a
-
position, commissioned us, and is to send us out so that we can
-
do the same thing. Isn't that what he says here in
-
Matthew 10, seven and eight? It says now as you go preaching,
-
saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand, heal the sick, cleanse
-
the leopard, raise the dead, cast out devils.
-
Listen to what he said freely. You have what, freely?
-
The same thing that he did for your life is the same thing he's
-
saying now go out, take your appointed position and go out.
-
Come on and do the same thing with the anointing that I've
-
just put upon your life to go out.
-
Come on, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons.
-
Come on freely you've received. Now you go out and freely give,
-
and I've appointed you, I've anointed you, I've commissioned
-
you to be an ambassador of the Kingdom of God.
-
Hallelujah, Glory to God, glory to God, say I'm anointed.
-
And what are we else anointed to do?
-
To preach? This is what he's saying to
-
preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
-
You know what that's talking about?
-
Jubilee to put us back in our place.
-
The year of Jubilee was what? Debt cancellation to put, give
-
back, put back, come on. All that belongs to us to put us
-
back into the place. Complete cancellation of debt.
-
Did we owe a debt? Yes, and the debt was sin, but
-
He paid the price. Hallelujah.
-
It's the favorable year of the Lord.
-
That's why He has favor and mercy upon us right now.
-
Come on. And he's saying to us, we need
-
to go out and let people know that this is the year.
-
Come on. This is the day of salvation,
-
the favorable year of the Lord to cancel your debt, to put you
-
back in and restore everything. Come on, that was lost.
-
To bring your portion back to you the year of Jubilee so that
-
you can actually have dominion over your territory again.
-
That was what the year of Jubilee was about.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to God to give you back
-
everything the devil has stolen from you.
-
Take it back and we sing that song, don't we?
-
Take back what he stole from me. That's what that means.
-
This is what the anointing was for 2nd Corinthians chapter 6
-
and verse 2. This is our last scripture.
-
It says this for he saith, I have heard thee in a time
-
accepted, and in the day of salvation.
-
I don't know how to pronounce that word.
-
Behold, now is the acceptable time.
-
Behold, now is the day of our salvation.
-
And actually, when you look up that word about the favorable
-
year of the Lord, he goes back and one scripture talks about in
-
Isaiah, it's time for you to call on the name of the Lord
-
while he can still be found. Call on him.
-
The day is the favorable year of the Lord.
-
The day is the day of salvation. And you better call on Him
-
because listen, there's going to come a time which you won't be
-
able to call on Him any longer. His favor will be done.
-
Time will be up and it's coming quicker and quicker and quicker
-
as the day draws near. Amen.
-
So that's what he's saying. Now I want to read this last
-
scripture, which is what I just read, but I want to read it out
-
of the passion translation and I want to go and start from verse
-
1 all the way through to and it says this now, since we are
-
God's Co workers, we beg you not to take God's marvelous grace
-
for granted. See, we're in the church
-
dispensation or the age of And he says, listen, don't take it
-
for granted, allowing it to have no effect on your lives.
-
For he says, I listened to you at the time of my favor and the
-
day when you needed salvation, I came to your aid.
-
So can't you see now is the time to respond to his favor.
-
Now is the day of salvation. This is, this should be, this
-
should be what we are saying everywhere we go, everywhere we
-
go, when we're coming in contact with people's lives.
-
We need to let them know today is the day of salvation.
-
And you need to call on him while there's still time to call
-
upon him while his favor is still invoked and his grace is
-
still there. Because there's going to come a
-
day, right and an hour that the church dispensation or the age
-
of grace will end when he blows that trumpet.
-
And there's going to be great tribulation and judgment that's
-
going to come upon the earth. John 129 Jeez, John said this
-
about Jesus. He says, The next day John seeth
-
Jesus coming unto him, and he saith, Behold the Lamb of God,
-
which has taken away the sin of the world.
-
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because He has anointed us to
-
go out and to let people know they can walk in freedom if they
-
would call on the name of the Lord, that they no longer have
-
to be bound. They no longer have to be
-
crushed. Come on up, worship team.
-
They no longer have to be in darkness and captive to the
-
things that are binding them. The drugs, the money, sex, all
-
the things, all the things that this world brings to keep us
-
bound and in darkness. And he says, I've come to give
-
life and life more abundantly. And I pray that tonight that
-
we'll think about why we are anointed and think about the
-
people that we come in contact with throughout every day of our
-
lives that we know need freedom, that we know need the Lord.
-
And I'm telling you, the day is drawing near and we need to go
-
out with what we've been given and let the world know.
-
Let the world know that there is a greater, greater plan for
-
their life and purpose for their life and freedom for their life,
-
Amen. Freedom for their life,
-
forgiveness for their life, Amen.
-
That's what the anointing is for.
-
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because He's anointed us to
-
go out and preach the gospel of the Kingdom.
-
Hallelujah. And we're looking at the
-
ambassadors right here that would be able to go out and
-
proclaim actually pleading with them as an ambassador.
-
When you look up where that word talks about being an ambassador,
-
it's as if you were pleading God's case.
-
Pleading God's case that they need him and that they can be
-
set free, Amen. And be forgiven and have mercy
-
upon their life and grace upon their life.
-
Hallelujah.
