  1. I want to talk to you tonight about the King's anointing.

  2. You know, Pastor has ministered this before on the King's

  3. anointing, that we have all those that are born again, those

  4. who have called on the name of the Lord, those who have

  5. confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord.

  6. We have the King's anointing upon our lives.

  7. We have it upon our lives. We're anointed.

  8. We are anointed people. We're anointed people.

  9. We are not left helpless. We are anointed people to be

  10. able to navigate in this life during this time, to be able to

  11. overcome in every situation that we are facing.

  12. Everything, everything that we may be facing, we are anointed

  13. to be an overcomer. You know, Pastor started off

  14. this year and talking about we have been given the reigning

  15. spirit, Amen. The reigning spirit.

  16. We don't have the spirit of this world.

  17. We've been given the reigning spirit, his spirit that lives on

  18. the inside of us the minute we call on the name of the Lord.

  19. And so therefore, that means what we know.

  20. He's preached this many times, and I don't want to get over

  21. into that, that we are to reign in this life.

  22. We're to reign in this life. We are to be able to overcome,

  23. rule and reign anything that we are navigating in this life.

  24. Amen. Why?

  25. Because we have an anointing. We have a benefit that the world

  26. does not have. Period.

  27. That's why no matter what they do, it still ends up to the

  28. bottomless pit. But what we have is an anointing

  29. to be able to rise up out of anything that's going on in our

  30. world, in our life, in our whatever it is.

  31. Amen. We have an anointing to rise

  32. above it, Hallelujah. And we are going to need that

  33. anointing more and more as we see the day drawing near.

  34. Say I'm anointed, Hallelujah. I'm anointed to reign.

  35. Say that. Yeah, we're anointed to reign,

  36. Hallelujah. And I'm going to tell you, we're

  37. going to have to remind ourselves of that.

  38. What am I doing sitting here, not raining in this situation?

  39. I had to remind myself of that for the last four weeks.

  40. No, I'm going to reign over this situation.

  41. I'm going to rule over this situation because I am anointed.

  42. And I didn't do it to myself. The King did it to me.

  43. Hallelujah, He chose me. Come on, He anointed me for such

  44. a time as this in His Kingdom. Hallelujah, Glory to God.

  45. So we don't have to allow anything that we're going

  46. through to rule over us because we are anointed.

  47. What are we anointed for? Not just for us to be able to

  48. overcome and reign with what we're going, what we're going

  49. through, but we also have an anointing to be like what Laura

  50. was talking about, to be the light, to go out and be the

  51. light in darkness. Hallelujah, glory to God.

  52. Now look at that's what I want to talk about tonight.

  53. What are you? You're anointed for what?

  54. Anointed for? What are you anointed so that

  55. when you come to a spirit filled conference you can run in that

  56. round and feel the power of God. Anointed for what?

  57. Because I feel like that's all sometimes, especially in some

  58. circles of believers lives, that that's all they're chasing is I

  59. just want to feel the anointing, right?

  60. Jesus clearly lets us know what we're anointed for, why we have

  61. an anointing, what we are anointed for.

  62. And I believe that in this hour we have to rise up in that

  63. anointing to be able to continue to go out and do what he is

  64. asking of us as his believers to do.

  65. Not to run around from conference to conference and

  66. say, oh, this conference was anointed or wow, this minister

  67. laid hands on me and I felt the anointing right.

  68. But what is this anointing for? Acts 1038 says how God anointed

  69. Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power, and

  70. he went around doing what good and doing what healing all who

  71. were oppressed by the devil because God was with him.

  72. He was anointed by God with the power of the Holy Spirit to go

  73. out and to do good and to bring healing to people's lives.

  74. That is what the anointing was for we see in Jesus.

  75. All right, now let's go to a few other scriptures here in first

    1 John 2:20

  76. John chapter 2 verse 20, it says this out of the amplified.

  77. It says, but you have an anointing from the Holy 1.

  78. You have been set apart, specially gifted and prepared by

  79. the Holy Spirit and all of you know the truth because he

  80. teaches us. Here it is.

  81. Look at this, He illuminates our minds.

  82. That means the light has come on.

  83. You're no longer in darkness because the light, the

  84. illumination of the Holy Ghost just brought that to you.

  85. Come on, he says by the Holy Spirit and all of you know the

  86. truth. Excuse me.

  87. And guards us from error. Now in first John chapter 4 and

    1 John 4 chapter mention

  88. maybe one day I'll minister on this.

  89. We know that it says we were given the anointing One

  90. translation says we have an auction from the Holy One.

  91. And really the anointing here in this context in first John

    1 John 4 chapter mention

  92. chapter 4 is talking about the fact we have an auction.

  93. We have an anointing on the inside from the Holy 1 so that

  94. we'll know the difference between truth and a lie.

  95. So now we see another aspect or facet of the Holy Ghost and the

  96. anointing upon your life is so that you no longer have to be in

  97. deception. You no longer have to buy the

  98. lies. You no longer have to be a a

  99. person that is deceived in reality of what's going on in a

  100. situation, which is part of the anointing that you have, which

  101. is very important in this day and hour that we're living when

  102. we know he is the father of lies.

  103. The God of this world is the father of lies.

  104. And have we not seen this world filled full in the hour that

  105. we're living of lies? But thank God you have an

  106. anointing from the Holy One. Thank God you have auction so

  107. that you'll know. Well, this isn't even the truth.

  108. This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

  109. It's a lie, right? So this is one reason why he

  110. lets us know there's an anointing in our lives, so that

  111. we no longer have to listen to the lies of the enemy, so that

  112. we no longer have to buy his lies.

  113. Amen. So, but I just wanted to bring

  114. reference to the fact that we have an anointing from the Holy

  115. One, those that are born again, those that are spirit filled, we

  116. have an anointing from the Holy One or we have auction from the

  117. Holy Spirit. Now let's look at Acts chapter 1

    Acts 1 chapter mention

  118. and Acts chapter 2. Acts chapter one, one through 8

    Acts 2 chapter mention

  119. says it says the first account I composed Theophilus about all

  120. that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was

  121. taken up to heaven, after he had by the Holy Spirit given orders

  122. to the apostles whom he had chosen.

  123. To these he also presented himself alive after his

  124. suffering by many convincing proofs and appearing to them

  125. over a period of 40 days. And Speaking of the things

  126. concerning the Kingdom of God, God gathering them together, He

  127. commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what

  128. the Father had promised, which he said, You had heard from me.

  129. For John baptizes with water, but you will be baptized with

  130. the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

  131. So when they had come together, they were asking him saying,

  132. Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the Kingdom to Israel?

  133. And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times of the

  134. epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority, but

  135. you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

  136. Now we see the Holy Spirit that will come upon you will bring

  137. forth what power? So no longer will you just have

  138. an anointing or an auction for the spirit of truth, right?

  139. And the difference between the spirit of error, I believe the

  140. Scripture calls it. Now you receive power.

  141. Here's another facet of the Holy Spirit, that when we are

  142. baptized with the Holy Spirit, we will receive power.

  143. When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, comes upon you.

  144. Why? And you will be my what?

  145. Witnesses both in Jerusalem and Judea, Samaria, and even unto

  146. the remotest parts of the earth. So you are supposed to, once the

  147. Holy Spirit comes upon you, come on, He already lives in you if

  148. you're born again. But then He wants to come upon

  149. you and endue you with power. Evidence of that is that you'll

  150. speak in a new tongue the language of the Kingdom, but

  151. there will be power associated with that so that you can now go

  152. out and be a what? A witness.

  153. So this anointing of the Holy Ghost, this power coming upon

  154. you is so that you can witness. It's so that you can go out, not

  155. so you can fall down on the ground and feel the presence of

  156. God, or roll around or do all the expressions that we see the

  157. Holy Spirit can bring. It's so that you can be a

  158. witness so that you can go out, not so you can just sit up

  159. underneath the power and just want to stay underneath this

  160. power. Now I have power everywhere I

  161. go, right? So in Acts chapter 2 we see in

    Acts 2 chapter mention

  162. verses one through 4 it says Now when the day of Pentecost had

  163. come, they were all together in one place.

  164. And suddenly there came from the heaven a noise like a violent

  165. rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were

  166. sitting. And there appeared on them

  167. tongues of fire distributing among themselves, and they and

  168. it rested on each one of them. They were all filled with the

  169. Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit

  170. was giving them utterance. So here we see the evidence of

  171. that power coming upon them. Is that what they received?

  172. The tongue through the utterance of the Holy Spirit?

  173. Amen. Hallelujah.

  174. So this is what we say, that we are a spirit filled church.

  175. A spirit filled church will have evidence of tongues, not just

  176. oh, we're all spirit filled because the Spirit lives in US.

  177. No, we are a spirit filled church that receives the gifts

  178. of the Spirit and the gift of the Spirit with the power coming

  179. upon us is that there is evidence of tongues.

  180. OK, because I know a lot of you know anyway, so let's go to 2nd

  181. Corinthians chapter 1 verses 20 through 22 2nd Corinthians.

  182. I'm proving a case here and then we're going to get into where I

  183. really want to go. 2nd Corinthians 120 through 22.

  184. It says for as many as are the promises of God in Christ, they

  185. are all answered yes. So through him we say Amen to

  186. the glory of God. Now it is God who establishes

  187. and if confirms us in joint fellowship with you in Christ

  188. and who has anointed us, say I'm anointed.

  189. What is that anointing? Here we are seeing that it's

  190. doing, it's empowering us because again, power comes upon

  191. our lives. Therefore we are not helpless or

  192. without power. We have the power of God that we

  193. can tap into and that is upon our life and in our life in

  194. every situation we're going through.

  195. And so He lets us know here, it's empowering us with the

  196. gifts of the Spirit as well. It is He who is also that put

  197. His seal on us. That is, that He has

  198. appropriated us and certified us as His and has given us the Holy

  199. Spirit in our hearts as a pledge like a security deposit or a

  200. guarantee, the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life.

  201. Hallelujah, say I'm anointed by the Holy Spirit.

  202. Hallelujah, glory to God and we've all, all are anointed.

  203. Not just the pastors, not just the teachers, not just the

  204. evangelist, not just the prophets.

  205. Come on. Not just his special people, No,

  206. we are all his special people and he has put it anointing upon

  207. us all if we've received it. Hallelujah.

  208. Every single one of us are anointed.

  209. The first thing we're anointed to do is know the difference

  210. between the truth and a lie. The second thing we're anointed

  211. to do is to be able to go be a witness for him and the Kingdom

  212. of God. Hallelujah.

  213. So I believe in these last days we need to be going out and

  214. being that witness. That is what we are anointed

  215. for. It's why we are anointed to be a

  216. witness for the Kingdom of God, to be a witness for the Kingdom

  217. of God. Hallelujah.

  218. Now look at Isaiah, Isaiah chapter 10 and verse 27.

    Isaiah 10 chapter mention

  219. It says this. And it shall come to pass in

  220. that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy

  221. shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be

  222. destroyed because of the anointing.

  223. We call it the yoke destroying, come on, burden removing power

  224. of God. That is what the anointing is

  225. upon your life. It is the burden removing, come

  226. on, yoke destroying power of God so that when you go out into

  227. this Dark World, there is an anointing upon your life to

  228. break off yokes and burdens in people's lives.

  229. And it's time we start opening our mouths and being a witness

  230. in this hour that we are living in this dark hour.

  231. The church has made the anointing something we play

  232. with. So let's look what Jesus said in

  233. Luke chapter 4 and verses 18 through 19.

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  234. It says this, say I'm anointed, say I'm a maturing church,

  235. Hallelujah. That's our assignment more and

  236. more in this hour that we're living.

  237. Hallelujah. Luke chapter 4, verses 18

    Luke 4:18–19

  238. through 19 says this. You know this.

  239. This is what Jesus said. The Spirit of the Lord is upon

  240. me. Why?

  241. Because he had anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor,

  242. He sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance

  243. to the captives and the recovery of sight to the blind, to set at

  244. liberty with them that are bruised, to preach the

  245. acceptable year of the Lord. Hallelujah.

  246. This clearly gives us a description of what we're

  247. anointed for. Because if this is the King's

  248. anointing, we have this same anointing.

  249. This is our assignment as ambassadors of Christ in the

  250. Kingdom of God, not to walk around and say, whoo, I feel the

  251. anointing right? Here is a clear description of

  252. what the anointing is for. So let's look at this in

  253. Scripture. What is the good news?

  254. Well, we know what the good news is, right?

  255. We at this church knows that the good news is things concerning

  256. Jesus and the Kingdom of God. Amen.

  257. Hallelujah, good news, glad tidings, the Scripture says, and

  258. look at what he says in Luke 81. It says, and it came to pass

  259. afterwards that he went throughout every city.

  260. This is Jesus and every village preaching and showing the glad

  261. tidings of the Kingdom of God, showing, demonstrating glad

  262. tidings, demonstrating the good news of the what Kingdom of God

  263. Here it is. And the 12 disciples were what

  264. with him? Hallelujah.

  265. Then in Luke chapter 4 and verse 43 it says this.

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  266. And he said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of God to all

  267. the other cities also. For therefore I that is what I

  268. was sent to do, to go out to preach the good news,

  269. demonstrating the Kingdom of God.

  270. This is what he was anointed to do.

  271. And this is the same exact thing.

  272. We have the anointing for the same exact thing, and it's going

  273. to take every one of us recognizing we've all been

  274. anointed to go out and do exactly what he said we would

  275. do. All of us.

  276. We're going to have to do it in these last days.

  277. Look what he says here. Number one, let's look.

  278. He says he's anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.

  279. Who's the poor? Is it just the poor man on the

  280. side of the road begging? No, it actually means the

  281. spiritually poor and the physically poor because everyone

  282. is poor compared to the Kingdom of God.

  283. You are a poor man if you do not have the Kingdom period.

  284. You can be, you know, Elon Musk that can drop 50 billion here

  285. and whatever here and if he does not know the Lord Jesus Christ

  286. and the Kingdom of God, he is a poor beggard man Poor.

  287. Everyone without Jesus Christ is poor, period.

  288. This is what it means to be destitute where you want

  289. destitute. It also means helpless where you

  290. want helpless. No matter what you tried to do,

  291. you couldn't pull your way out of the mess you were in.

  292. You were helpless. What else does it mean to be

  293. poor? Powerless.

  294. You were powerless no matter how much money you drugs you tried

  295. to buy. Come on.

  296. Alcohol. You tried to drown out smoking

  297. your weed. No, none of that, come on, could

  298. pull you up out of no matter how many crystals you know today.

  299. How many incense you burn? You're a poor man.

  300. Without Jesus, you're a poor man.

  301. He says it. You're spiritually bankrupt,

  302. spiritually banquet Rupp, you're powerless, lacking in

  303. everything. When you were look up this word

  304. poor in the Greek. It is lacking in everything.

  305. Everything it includes. You're lacking in morals, you're

  306. lacking in eternal riches, you're lacking in wealth,

  307. influence. You're lacking in it.

  308. Oh man, you're lacking in your position and honor.

  309. You need to know this so that when you go out, it doesn't

  310. matter who you encounter. You can walk up to the president

  311. of the United States. And if they are not born again,

  312. I don't care how powerful they may be in the natural, you have

  313. an anointing upon your life that is greater than any power of

  314. this world. Hallelujah.

  315. And you have a greater influence.

  316. Come on then, no matter how much influence they think they may

  317. have around the world, No, Jesus Christ is king.

  318. Come on of all the earth, glory to God, and you have an

  319. anointing upon your life. You have an anointing.

  320. Hallelujah. James chapter 2 verses 5 says

    James 2:5

  321. this. Listen, my beloved brothers and

  322. sisters, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in

  323. faith? Hallelujah as believers to be

  324. heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him.

  325. Hallelujah. Oh, we're so rich in faith.

  326. Glory to God as a believer. Hallelujah.

  327. So that's why I'm saying you ought to always be thankful that

  328. He chose you and He brought you out of darkness and brought you

  329. into His marvelous life and put His Spirit within you and put

  330. His Spirit upon you and has anointed you to walk around in

  331. this world and in this earth to be able to demonstrate the power

  332. of the Kingdom of God everywhere you go, Hallelujah.

  333. So that no matter what situation you're in, you can rise above it

  334. and rise to the top every time, every time, Hallelujah.

  335. Nothing can keep you down, Hallelujah.

  336. Then he goes on to say to heal the broken hearted.

  337. What's the broken hearted? Who's the broken hearted

  338. Hallelujah? You know those that have been

  339. shattered to pieces? Do you know people that have

  340. been shattered to pieces? We once I know I was shattered

  341. to pieces. I was broken and I needed to be

  342. fixed, and the only thing that could fix me is the power of God

  343. shattered to pieces. That is who the broken hearted

  344. is. But He came to heal.

  345. He came to bring deliverance. That's what that word means.

  346. He came to bring deliverance. He came to bring salvation, to

  347. cure, to make whole again. Those that were shattered into

  348. pieces, those that were bruised. Did you take some bruising?

  349. Come on, when you were living for the devil, were you crushed?

  350. That's what the broken heart, they're crushed.

  351. There's so many people that are just crushed today.

  352. They're they're shattered to pieces.

  353. So much so their identity. They're trying to pull for any,

  354. trying to mutilate their bodies. This is nothing new.

  355. They mutilated their bodies back in the day.

  356. They'd run to the tombs and slice their wrists and slice

  357. themselves. Because people are broken, the

  358. devil has shattered them to pieces.

  359. This is what the anointing upon our life is for.

  360. To make free this is what this means.

  361. To make free those that have been trodden down, that have

  362. been tread down by Satan and trampled on.

  363. How many people do we know that Satan is beating them to death,

  364. beating them down? Look at them on the streets,

  365. guys. Look at them on this drug that

  366. makes them stand over like that. I mean, look at them.

  367. The devil has done this to people's lives.

  368. This is what the anointing is for.

  369. To heal, to cure those that have been tread down by Satan, those

  370. who have been bound by Satan, those that are shackled, right?

  371. We talk about break every chain, break every chain.

  372. We can sing it so good and it sounds great.

  373. Sounds great, but are we actually going out and doing the

  374. very thing that we're singing about?

  375. Romans 1620 says this. And the God of all peace shall

  376. bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

  377. Come on, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

  378. This is why he was bruised. Come on.

  379. You know, in that this is the same word bruised that God said

  380. to Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 1.

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  381. He said, but I'm going to send my seed.

  382. Come on. And he is going to bruise him.

  383. What's he saying? He said I came to cure, to heal.

  384. I actually came to Bruce Satan to put him back up underneath

  385. your feet so that you can tread him down now, so that he no

  386. longer has to tread on you, but that you can tread on him.

  387. That's what you're anointed for now, to tread Him under your

  388. feet. Hallelujah.

  389. He says this in Psalms 34. It says this in verse 18.

  390. The Lord is near the heartbroken, and He saves those

  391. who are crushed in spirit. He's near the broken hearted,

  392. those that are crushed. This is why he was anointed.

  393. This is why he came not just to, well, we're going to see to

  394. restore us back into God's original intent.

  395. And this was part of the restoration was being able to

  396. put that anointing back upon our lives because we know the Holy

  397. Spirit departed when Adam rebelled against God.

  398. So not only did he come just to save us, no, he came back

  399. through his redemption to restore unto us the Holy Spirit,

  400. to be able to live on the inside of mankind again, and then to

  401. anoint them come on to be able to have rulership over the earth

  402. or over Satan again. So he says this to bring

  403. deliverance to the captives. This literally tells us that we

  404. were bound to Satan. We were his captives.

  405. We were his. Really.

  406. When you look up that word captives, it means you were

  407. actually a prisoner of war. A prisoner of war.

  408. You were in His captivity. He had you bound and shackled.

  409. Had you bound and had you shackled.

  410. So Jesus came, and the anointing upon his life was to bring

  411. deliverance to the captives released from the bondage.

  412. What does that mean? You were bound to Him.

  413. So He's coming to bring release. Or while another word would be a

  414. pardon to your captivity, a pardon to your captivity bring

  415. forgiveness of the sin as if it you had never committed it.

  416. That's what pardon means, right? You're pardoned from that as if

  417. you never committed the crime. You never committed the sin.

  418. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

  419. Hallelujah. I don't know about you, but I'm

  420. getting ready to run around this place.

  421. Hallelujah. Oh, forgiveness of sin.

  422. He pardoned it. The remission of the penalty

  423. that went belong to us, the penalty that belonged to us, for

  424. all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

  425. So we were a prisoner at war, and He came come on to break us

  426. out. Come on, break us out.

  427. A prison break. But he did it legally.

  428. You know how He did it legally? By his blood.

  429. By his blood. Thank the Lord that he was

  430. willing to go to the cross, pour out his blood on that mercy

  431. seat, oh, so that He could break us free from being a prisoner of

  432. the devil. Hallelujah.

  433. So it says this in John 836. It says if the son, therefore,

  434. come on, has set you free, then you are what?

  435. Free in deed, we're free. We're free.

  436. We're no longer bound, we should no longer be shackled.

  437. No longer be shackled. We're free and free indeed, if

  438. we belong to Him, Amen, and have received His blood for the

  439. penalty of our sin. Acts 2618 says this to open

  440. their eyes because listen, when you are bound in sin, you are

  441. blind. This is the next straight next

  442. point he's going to say is recovery of sight to the blind.

  443. When we are of this world, when we were born into this world of

  444. the sin nature, right, we were blinded.

  445. We were in darkness. There was a veil over our eyes,

  446. the scripture says so. Acts 2618 says to open their

  447. eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, from darkness

  448. to light. See, Laura was being led by the

  449. Spirit from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto

  450. God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin and an

  451. inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith.

  452. That is in me. Hallelujah.

  453. So he came to open our eyes, the blind eyes.

  454. Look at here. That's what that means, recovery

  455. of sight to the blind. We were not that he's not just

  456. talking about most a lot of times, you know, people have

  457. said, well, that was just the physical things that Jesus did

  458. because he healed the blind eyes.

  459. No, we were all blind. We were all in darkness.

  460. It is talking about spiritual blindness.

  461. We couldn't see the light. We were spiritually blinded.

  462. Now did he heal people's physical sight?

  463. Absolutely. And he does that as well.

  464. But here he is talking about spiritual blindness.

  465. In Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4, it says this Satan,

    2 Corinthians 4 chapter mention

  466. who is the God of this world has blinded the minds of those who

  467. don't believe. They are unable to see the

  468. glorious light of God. This is why I'm telling you, you

  469. need to be thankful you've seen the light.

  470. Never not appreciate the fact that you have the light on the

  471. inside of you. That was the first thing he

  472. said. Right.

  473. And Colossians, you've been transferred from the domain of

  474. darkness and brought into the marvelous light of the Kingdom

  475. of God. Thank God for the light.

  476. Thank God for the light because we were all blinded.

  477. We were not able. It says they were not unable to

  478. see the glorious light of the the good news.

  479. They don't understand this message about the glory of

  480. Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

  481. Isaiah 42 and seven says this to open the blind eyes to bring out

  482. the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness

  483. out of the prison house. Hallelujah glory to God y'all

  484. should be shouting a lot better than you know.

  485. Matthew chapter 4 verse 16 and 17 says this out of the

    Matthew 4:16

  486. amplified The people who were sitting living in spiritual

  487. darkness have seen a great light, and for those who were

  488. sitting living in the land and the shadow of spiritual and

  489. moral death upon them, a light has dawned.

  490. Hallelujah. From that time Jesus began to

  491. what? Preach and say repent, change

  492. your inner self, your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live

  493. your life in a way that proves repentance.

  494. Seek God's purpose for your life, for the Kingdom of heaven

  495. is an at hand. That's what he said.

  496. Repent. The Kingdom of heaven is right

  497. at hand. This is why I'm anointed to go

  498. out and preach the gospel, come on to the poor, to set the blind

  499. and the captives free, and to bring deliverance to people's

  500. lives that are bruised, that are crushed, that are hurting, that

  501. are shattered to pieces. That's why you're anointed.

  502. That's why you're anointed. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  503. Glory to God to set at liberty those that are bruised.

  504. This is really great right here when I look this up and what

  505. this true meaning was to set at liberty those that were bruised,

  506. That's what it should say. Those that were bruised, He came

  507. to bring freedom to those that were bruised.

  508. But that word set is interesting to set at liberty those that

  509. were bruised. That means to sit or to set you

  510. in your appointed position. Isn't that what he said?

  511. Adam, where are you? You're out of position.

  512. You're out of the original plan that I had for your life.

  513. You're out of position. So he came to set us back in our

  514. position that has been appointed for us.

  515. Come on, that anointing that is upon our life to be able to go

  516. out in the position that he set us in.

  517. We are free. We are free to do it because He

  518. set us back in our place, our appointed place, God's original

  519. intent for man, so that no longer do we come on have to be

  520. bound by the enemy, but we can actually go out and set people

  521. free that are bound. It also means to order or to

  522. Commission. He's commissioned us to be

  523. ambassadors to represent the Kingdom of God.

  524. He's ordered us, actually commissioned us, set us in our

  525. appointed place once we got born again and got free from the

  526. domain of the devil. Come on, He put us in a

  527. position, commissioned us, and is to send us out so that we can

  528. do the same thing. Isn't that what he says here in

  529. Matthew 10, seven and eight? It says now as you go preaching,

  530. saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand, heal the sick, cleanse

  531. the leopard, raise the dead, cast out devils.

  532. Listen to what he said freely. You have what, freely?

  533. The same thing that he did for your life is the same thing he's

  534. saying now go out, take your appointed position and go out.

  535. Come on and do the same thing with the anointing that I've

  536. just put upon your life to go out.

  537. Come on, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons.

  538. Come on freely you've received. Now you go out and freely give,

  539. and I've appointed you, I've anointed you, I've commissioned

  540. you to be an ambassador of the Kingdom of God.

  541. Hallelujah, Glory to God, glory to God, say I'm anointed.

  542. And what are we else anointed to do?

  543. To preach? This is what he's saying to

  544. preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

  545. You know what that's talking about?

  546. Jubilee to put us back in our place.

  547. The year of Jubilee was what? Debt cancellation to put, give

  548. back, put back, come on. All that belongs to us to put us

  549. back into the place. Complete cancellation of debt.

  550. Did we owe a debt? Yes, and the debt was sin, but

  551. He paid the price. Hallelujah.

  552. It's the favorable year of the Lord.

  553. That's why He has favor and mercy upon us right now.

  554. Come on. And he's saying to us, we need

  555. to go out and let people know that this is the year.

  556. Come on. This is the day of salvation,

  557. the favorable year of the Lord to cancel your debt, to put you

  558. back in and restore everything. Come on, that was lost.

  559. To bring your portion back to you the year of Jubilee so that

  560. you can actually have dominion over your territory again.

  561. That was what the year of Jubilee was about.

  562. Hallelujah. Glory to God to give you back

  563. everything the devil has stolen from you.

  564. Take it back and we sing that song, don't we?

  565. Take back what he stole from me. That's what that means.

  566. This is what the anointing was for 2nd Corinthians chapter 6

  567. and verse 2. This is our last scripture.

  568. It says this for he saith, I have heard thee in a time

  569. accepted, and in the day of salvation.

  570. I don't know how to pronounce that word.

  571. Behold, now is the acceptable time.

  572. Behold, now is the day of our salvation.

  573. And actually, when you look up that word about the favorable

  574. year of the Lord, he goes back and one scripture talks about in

  575. Isaiah, it's time for you to call on the name of the Lord

  576. while he can still be found. Call on him.

  577. The day is the favorable year of the Lord.

  578. The day is the day of salvation. And you better call on Him

  579. because listen, there's going to come a time which you won't be

  580. able to call on Him any longer. His favor will be done.

  581. Time will be up and it's coming quicker and quicker and quicker

  582. as the day draws near. Amen.

  583. So that's what he's saying. Now I want to read this last

  584. scripture, which is what I just read, but I want to read it out

  585. of the passion translation and I want to go and start from verse

  586. 1 all the way through to and it says this now, since we are

  587. God's Co workers, we beg you not to take God's marvelous grace

  588. for granted. See, we're in the church

  589. dispensation or the age of And he says, listen, don't take it

  590. for granted, allowing it to have no effect on your lives.

  591. For he says, I listened to you at the time of my favor and the

  592. day when you needed salvation, I came to your aid.

  593. So can't you see now is the time to respond to his favor.

  594. Now is the day of salvation. This is, this should be, this

  595. should be what we are saying everywhere we go, everywhere we

  596. go, when we're coming in contact with people's lives.

  597. We need to let them know today is the day of salvation.

  598. And you need to call on him while there's still time to call

  599. upon him while his favor is still invoked and his grace is

  600. still there. Because there's going to come a

  601. day, right and an hour that the church dispensation or the age

  602. of grace will end when he blows that trumpet.

  603. And there's going to be great tribulation and judgment that's

  604. going to come upon the earth. John 129 Jeez, John said this

  605. about Jesus. He says, The next day John seeth

  606. Jesus coming unto him, and he saith, Behold the Lamb of God,

  607. which has taken away the sin of the world.

  608. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because He has anointed us to

  609. go out and to let people know they can walk in freedom if they

  610. would call on the name of the Lord, that they no longer have

  611. to be bound. They no longer have to be

  612. crushed. Come on up, worship team.

  613. They no longer have to be in darkness and captive to the

  614. things that are binding them. The drugs, the money, sex, all

  615. the things, all the things that this world brings to keep us

  616. bound and in darkness. And he says, I've come to give

  617. life and life more abundantly. And I pray that tonight that

  618. we'll think about why we are anointed and think about the

  619. people that we come in contact with throughout every day of our

  620. lives that we know need freedom, that we know need the Lord.

  621. And I'm telling you, the day is drawing near and we need to go

  622. out with what we've been given and let the world know.

  623. Let the world know that there is a greater, greater plan for

  624. their life and purpose for their life and freedom for their life,

  625. Amen. Freedom for their life,

  626. forgiveness for their life, Amen.

  627. That's what the anointing is for.

  628. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because He's anointed us to

  629. go out and preach the gospel of the Kingdom.

  630. Hallelujah. And we're looking at the

  631. ambassadors right here that would be able to go out and

  632. proclaim actually pleading with them as an ambassador.

  633. When you look up where that word talks about being an ambassador,

  634. it's as if you were pleading God's case.

  635. Pleading God's case that they need him and that they can be

  636. set free, Amen. And be forgiven and have mercy

  637. upon their life and grace upon their life.

  638. Hallelujah.
