I mean, if you're poor and stuck in a mudhut and poor, it's good to have your sins forgiven,
-
but you also need a message that brings you out of the mudhut, amen?
-
And the anointing brings the abundance of God.
-
Listen to me now.
-
The anointing brings the abundance and prosperity of God.
-
So the message to the poor is, you don't have to be poor anymore, amen.
-
You have to believe that.
-
Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast.
-
Thanks for joining us today, as we look into God's Word and discover the hope and truth that
-
he has for us.

-
Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already
-
working in our hearts and minds.
-
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you
-
are surrounded by His grace, and that He has a real hope and a future for you.
-
I want to read to you Isaiah 61.
-
You know, the anointing is such an important subject.
-
You have to think it's strange that you don't hear more teaching on it.
-
It seems to be like two extremes.
-
Some churches, it's all they talk about, and too many of those have no anointing, but
-
it's all they talk about.
-
Just everything's anointing.
-
Someone screams into the microphone, why doesn't that anoint it?
-
No, they were loud.
-
They're not necessarily anointed.
-
And then you have churches, they never talk about the anointing.
-
But it's how Jesus ministered.
-
In fact, the Bible tells us that Jesus' custom, because he was the traveling, they recognize
-
them as a traveling rabbi, a traveling teacher.
-
And in Luke chapter 4 says he would come into town and as was his custom and he called for
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
the book of the prophet Isaiah.
-
So that was the custom back then when you were traveling rabbi and you rolled into town,
-
they wanted to give the new guy a chance to preach and to read from the Holy Scriptures.
-
So that would be Jesus.
-
And it says his custom was to read.
-
I believe it's not just referring to that one moment in Luke chapter 4, but when Jesus
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
had an opportunity to bring one message, this was his message from Isaiah 61.
-
The anointing was his message, which is fitting because his last name isn't Christ, but
-
it's a title that means the anointed one.
-
So he was preaching about himself.
-
Amen.
-
We're all on the same, okay, let me just, so Christ is not his last name, amen.
-
We can all agree on that because you never know what you run into.
-
I was ministering to my contractor.
-
He's over 70 years old, gone to church's whole life and I'm witnessing to him and ministering
-
to him and religious people are funny.
-
They've got a lot of pride, they usually don't know much, they're the person who comes
-
up to you and says, I've read the Bible, but they never read the Bible.
-
But because they went to children's church when they were kid or something and they know
-
the story of David, they read the Bible.
-
So he's going in all these different directions.
-
I just want to focus on the cross and the resurrection, the gospel is the power of God.
-
So I bring him to the cross, this is all in the space of a few minutes, bring him to
-
the cross to the resurrection.
-
And he says, well, what about the flood then?
-
I said, what flood?
-
He said, the flood, after the resurrection, wasn't there a big flood that wiped out the
-
earth and I go, man, we got, like I'm at the point, you know, I'm celebrating over 25 years
-
of ministry, full-time ministry this year, it just so happened.
-
So I'm at the point where nothing shocks or surprises me anymore.
-
So I had to say, no, you mean no was flood, that was like way back, like long time ago.
-
Jesus is a resurrection, actually wasn't too long ago.
-
What's a couple of thousand years?
-
So it never surprises me how some people view what their lens is, how they view the
-
Lord, how they view the Scriptures, how they view this earth that they live in.
-
So a good place to start is just understanding that Christ is not Jesus' last name.
-
It's his title, the Christos, the Christ, he means the anointed one and his anointing.
-
And that anointing makes all the difference, that anointing I knew will make all the difference
-
in your life.
-
And that anointing is available to you, that anointing changed my life.
-
If the anointing were to dry up, city light wouldn't make it, not even one Sunday.
-
The whole thing would fall apart because the whole thing is sustained by God's presence.
-
City light, if there wasn't an anointing, city light wouldn't have made it past a few
-
months.
-
So just be in the flesh, dry as a bone, forcing things, striving, trying to make something
-
happen, yet everything is just dry, woohoo.
-
So this would be Jesus' main message.
-
And he says, the spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me.
-
Everything Jesus ever did, he did, in and by the anointing.
-
That's why you don't see him doing any kind of miracles until he was anointed at his baptism.
-
Before his baptism, he was still fully God and fully man, but he wasn't functioning
-
under the anointing.
-
I know when I was in Ethiopia, they have these old murals and they showed like a teenage
-
Jesus, somebody had broken some pots, these old paintings, and Jesus was turning the shattered
-
clay pots, he was touching them and turning them into pigeons, probably doves, but I go,
-
that seems nice, but it's unscriptural.
-
He wasn't, he was not walking on water.
-
Hey Joseph, look what I can do.
-
You're not my real dad anyway.
-
Look what I can do, moonwalks on a lake.
-
He wasn't doing that.
-
Now one blind eye, open that one deaf ear and stop, but when he was anointed, his miracle
-
ministry began.
-
The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me, so there's a purpose
-
to the anointing and then he begins to describe what the purpose of the anointing is.
-
To preach good tidings, to preach the gospel to the poor, amen.
-
He has sent me to heal the broken hearted.
-
So the anointing assists in the preaching of the gospel.
-
There's a message to the poor and it doesn't end with your sins are forgiven you.
-
I mean if you're a poor and stuck in a mud hut and poor, it's good to have your sins
-
forgiven but you also need a message that brings you out of the mud hut, amen.
-
And the anointing brings the abundance of God.
-
Listen to me now, the anointing brings the abundance and prosperity of God.
-
So the message to the poor is you don't have to be poor anymore, amen.
-
You have to believe that.
-
For you, for your life personally, you have to understand that God's way is abundance,
-
God's way is prosperity.
-
Picture a field and it's just full of bramble bushes and thorns and dust.
-
And does that seem like God's field?
-
That seems like a devil's field.
-
Then picture a field full of flora and fruit and it's just producing abundance.
-
And you ask a five-year-old child, hey, which one do you think belongs to God,
-
which field and which field belongs to say a five-year-old, oh yeah, the nice green field must be gods.
-
Yet people grow up, they kind of become religiously demented and then they get confused.
-
And they don't want to fall into some kind of like money trap.
-
No, God will touch you and he'll bring prosperity into every area of your life.
-
The anointing produces prosperity.
-
You just need to look at the life of Jesus.
-
Do you ever see him lacking anything?
-
People love to talk about, well, what about Jesus?
-
He wore the sandals, the flip flops, like he just walked around in a white robe and flip flops.
-
And like, brother, can you spare a dime?
-
I don't need to get to the next town over.
-
He was a money magnet.
-
They tripped, look at John.
-
See, the six, seven, they tripped over themselves to give him money.
-
When I was suffering financially, I knew the secret what was going to help me out wasn't trying to undo poverty.
-
It was getting more anointing.
-
And that acts as a magnet.
-
This wasn't my point, by the way, but I like to, I do, I like to stir up.
-
In order for a move of God, you got to stir up religious people.
-
You got to make, it's weird formula to it, but you can't, you actually can't make everyone happy and have a move of God.
-
You have to, and that's why, by the way, when Jesus preached this message and looked for,
-
when he was done, it was like a two-minute message.
-
They gnashed at him with their teeth and took him to the edge of a cliff to toss him headlong over the cliff.
-
So, and then it says, I love this part, it says, and Jesus passing through the midst of them went on his way.
-
What was that about?
-
Do you anointing just, he was like, I'm not the Messiah, you want to kill.
-
You're not the Messiah, we want to kill, but it just means when it's not your time, it's not your time, hallelujah.
-
Yeah, the anointing will bring abundance to you.
-
And the anointing is for the brokenhearted.
-
The anointing goes where no therapist can go.
-
The anointing goes where no surgeon can go.
-
And we all pick up a lot of baggage on the highway of life.
-
And people are really, really talking about mental health now and being whole.
-
But the anointing will heal the deepest hurts.
-
Hallelujah.
-
To proclaim liberty to the captives.
-
If somebody's bound up, the anointing sets them free.
-
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
-
By the way, when the anointing comes,
-
when you cooperate with the anointing, it typically pushes you out of your comfort zone.
-
Like as you're receiving the anointing, like the first time I experienced the anointing,
-
I'm 16 years old, and I started to weep uncontrollably.
-
That's not very comfortable for a 16-year-old teenager with people around.
-
Like, you know, 16, you're like, I'm a man.
-
I just stopped crying.
-
I came here by the subway all by myself.
-
That's what I was thinking.
-
And now I'm shaking like a leaf crying.
-
And, you know, in the moment, I have to make a choice.
-
Do I try to be cool and pull away from the anointing, or is this too precious?
-
I'm going to yield.
-
So I chose to yield.
-
Well, then it wasn't just tears running down my face, but a whole lot of something else.
-
Snots, mucus everywhere.
-
Real messy.
-
But I'll just throw this out there.
-
It's impossible to stay cool and receive from the anointing.
-
God will make sure of it.
-
And you can't be proud.
-
You can't be proud and receive from God.
-
There's always a humbling.
-
There was a leper called Naaman.
-
And he came to Elisha to get a deliverance, to get a healing, and Elisha didn't even look
-
at him.
-
I mean, this was like a general of the Syrian army that were proper protocols, respect him.
-
Elisha wouldn't even talk to him directly, sent a servant.
-
Tell him to dip in the river Jordan seven times.
-
The river Jordan is not a pretty river.
-
It's a muddy river.
-
It overflows.
-
It's clay-ish.
-
And the general, this is in the Bible.
-
The general said, we have.
-
And he lists the rivers in Syria.
-
They're pure, they're clean.
-
And this supposed prophet won't even come out and tell me himself.
-
And he wants me to dip in a dirty river.
-
What was the point of that?
-
God will expose your pride to reveal your heart.
-
God will also offend your mind to reveal your heart.
-
So when it's time to come to the Lord and you want a miracle breakthrough from the Lord,
-
you can't be cool.
-
You can't.
-
You got to be undone.
-
So I mean, I know how this works.
-
I'm like, either I'm going to keep going down my path with my stupid decisions.
-
I'll end up undone anyway, the bad way.
-
And I'll be just a by word on the side of the street.
-
Or I'll become undone in the presence of the Lord and then he'll lift me up.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So the Syrian general, he goes, you know what?
-
He gets some good counsel.
-
They say, look, what do you got to lose?
-
You came out all this way.
-
Just listen to the prophet.
-
And he dips one.
-
And it wasn't just one time, it was seven times.
-
Why?
-
So that he would have six times to feel really stupid.
-
It's like he's dipping in.
-
Look, I still got this.
-
Somebody's, I'm a candid camera, aren't I?
-
They're recording me right now.
-
They're trying to make me go viral, being a fool.
-
And it says the seventh time he came up, he had baby skin.
-
Hallelujah.
-
The anointing is to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
-
And the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn.
-
The anointing will comfort you, not with just a there, there.
-
That's earthly, fleshly comfort all there, there.
-
When the anointing comforts you, it means it fixes the problem that causes your discomfort.
-
That's real comfort, right?
-
I mean, the Holy Spirit is known as the comforter.
-
See, we need to teach this more, because the Holy Spirit is the comforter,
-
a picture of an old man going, are there a sonny?
-
Things will get better.
-
Is that what the Holy Spirit?
-
In the sweet by and by, the Holy Spirit is the comforter.
-
He comes into where the mess is, and that thing that's causing you discomfort,
-
he aligns and fixes.
-
How am I comforted because the problem stopped?
-
Amen.
-
Bromney great comfort.
-
The problem of sin caused great discomfort.
-
He didn't go there, there.
-
Try harder.
-
No, he came in the person of man, and went to the cross and gave his life in exchange
-
for ours.
-
That's how he comforted us and eliminated the sin problem by nailing it to the cross.
-
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort
-
all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes.
-
God has a great recycling program.
-
God's recycling program actually works.
-
Any of you ever suspect that the recycling program doesn't work?
-
It doesn't work.
-
People are dropping apple air tags in their trash and realizing it all goes to the same place.
-
If you don't believe me, just go buy a Starbucks and a Whole Foods and you know how it has
-
like the 17 different slots you're supposed to put in and you're looking all the same stuff
-
is in each of the slots.
-
But God's recycling program works.
-
You give him ashes, he gives you beauty.
-
You come with your trash, he gives you gold.
-
And I, in times in my life when I was just broken, I had another, Lord, what can I give
-
you?
-
All I have is this mess that I created.
-
He was there there.
-
Come, bring me that nasty, bundled up mess and watch what I can do with it.
-
Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and just please know that God is a God of joy.
-
The Bible says that Jesus rejoiced, the Greek there is Alexandria.
-
He means he leapt, he twirled, he danced and he shouted.
-
That's Alexandria.
-
Because if you're a frontal lobe in religious scholar, you see everything through a weird
-
religious lens.
-
So you see, you know, in that day Jesus rejoiced in the movies, he goes, and that's Jesus
-
rejoicing.
-
Can you imagine the Son of God and the scripture notes?
-
First of all, the scripture says that Jesus was anointed with the oil of joy far above,
-
not just the far more and far above than all of his contemporaries.
-
That means in any crowd Jesus was the most joyful one in the bunch.
-
But then when scripture says, in addition to him always being the most joyful one and
-
the movies always show him all weird and depressed.
-
Like a 70s California surfer who just took a hit.
-
Well, my father has sent me an always like this weird aloof distant look.
-
Now there was a fire in his eyes and great joy and his countenance.
-
And then the scripture says he rejoiced.
-
That means it was extra, extra joy.
-
So just note though, because I know sometimes people laugh and then I see others kind of
-
get uncomfortable, they start looking around.
-
Just note that joy does have a sound.
-
Like when you think Jesus reached, how do you think, what do you, what do you think,
-
joy sounds like?
-
It doesn't sound like a funeral parlor.
-
Joy to me sounds like a party.
-
Hey man, a festivity, the oil of joy for morning, the garment of praise for the spirit
-
of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord
-
that he may be glorified.
-
So the anointing is good stuff.
-
The anointing works a change in us.
-
The anointing flows from God.
-
The Holy Spirit here, he brings God's anointing.
-
In fact, the Holy Spirit's presence is the anointing of God.
-
And it's not Jesus's last name, it's his title and the Bible pronounces us Christians
-
or little Christ's little anointed ones.
-
So we should have an intimacy with the anointing and understanding of how the anointing functions
-
and be in daily contact with the anointing.
-
You show me a sad, miserable Christian, I'll show you a Christian who has an experience
-
to fresh touch a new anointing from the Lord in a while.
-
And they get swampy.
-
Don't get swampy.
-
Hallelujah.
-
1038, let me just read that.
-
Hallelujah.
-
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth.
-
Everything Jesus did he did in and by the anointing.
-
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.
-
And as a result of the anointing, what happened?
-
Good things happened.
-
He went about doing good.
-
And healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him.
-
Also, we should note in order to become more advanced theologians that God is good and the devil is bad.
-
Some people think that God puts sickness on us to teach people a lesson,
-
which means that Jesus went around earth undoing the Father's lessons.
-
Did you catch that?
-
So people think that God causes people to be sick to teach a lesson.
-
That means Jesus went around undoing the Father's lessons.
-
That's crazy.
-
No, the devil brings a sickness.
-
All who were oppressed by the devil.
-
All right, oppressed devil blessed God.
-
Can we agree on that?
-
All right.
-
Jesus went about doing good.
-
And what is the good thing he did?
-
Healing, delivering, setting free.
-
I have to get everybody on the same page here because if you secretly believe
-
that God does sometimes bad things to you to teach you a lesson,
-
because you believe that your Heavenly Father is a sociopath,
-
you're not going to go too far with him.
-
You're limiting what you can receive from him.
-
You're wondering if he's going to just cause the other shoe to drop at any moment.
-
So you're like going to receive, but you're skittish.
-
Less the lightning bolt, come on.
-
God, good devil, bad.
-
Amen.
-
All right, Mark chapter five.
-
Jesus always ministered by the anointing.
-
It was Luke chapter five where it says that the power of the Lord was present to heal.
-
Also in that same chapter concerning that meeting that Jesus had.
-
That's when the men came.
-
There was a paralytic in his friends and they ripped the roof off and lowered.
-
That's by the way the kind of aggression you need to have.
-
But when the whole meeting was finished, you know what they said?
-
We have seen strange things this day.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So as you can see whenever we don't see strange things for too long,
-
the Lord makes it so we keep our strangeness.
-
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for 12 years and had suffered many things for many physicians.
-
She had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse.
-
And when she heard about Jesus, she came behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.
-
For she said, if only I may touch his clothes, I shall be made.
-
Well, why did she want to touch his clothes?
-
Because she recognized the anointing on him.
-
She saw.
-
You think if you saw Jesus there wasn't something different about him.
-
They call it, it's like a resurgence of the word aura now, aura, aura.
-
Look at the aura on that guy.
-
And that's just your own soulish aura.
-
Maybe you have extra charisma, maybe you have extra confidence.
-
But when the anointing is on your head, it glows like a light bulb.
-
Imagine the son of God where it says he had the Holy Spirit without measure.
-
God in the flesh.
-
So they recognize there is some stuff from heaven on him.
-
Even if they couldn't put it into words and say it's the anointing.
-
I see heaven's substance, I see heaven's stuff.
-
And this woman was illegally outside because under Jewish law with an issue of blood she couldn't even be outside.
-
But she was so hungry and that's a major ingredient to receiving from heaven, to receiving the anointing.
-
It's a cry, a desire.
-
But not a desire that keeps you on your couch because the evidence of desires in pursuit.
-
So she illegally left her house.
-
Just like in Luke chapter 5, the paralytic wouldn't be deterred and said to his friends, listen, lower me down.
Luke 5 chapter mention
-
Well there's no hole in the roof.
-
Well make one.
-
Tear the roof up and lower me.
-
I have to get to Jesus.
-
There's got to be a hunger and a desperation.
-
It is impossible.
-
Hear me out.
-
It is impossible to have a desperation and a hunger consistently and forgot to not meet you.
-
I've never known a person whose testimony was, you know, I sought the Lord really intensely for three weeks.
-
And he never showed up.
-
It was real.
-
What a waste of three weeks.
-
I have never, I would be honest.
-
I collect testimonies.
-
I've been trying to figure this thing out for a long time now.
-
I've never heard that person.
-
There's always something on the other side of the equation.
-
Because he said, if you search for me with all of your heart, I will be found of you.
-
But he's a God who must be sought after.
-
There has to be because people's default position is passivity.
-
And they put all the responsibility on God.
-
Well if he wants to, he'll do it.
-
No, you pursue.
-
You chase.
-
You rip a roof off.
-
You be like Zacchaeus, who how dangled himself from off a tree just to take a better look at Jesus.
-
She said, if I may touch his clothes, I shall be made well.
-
And she illegally goes through the crowd.
-
She recognizes that anointing is just draped over Jesus.
-
And she sneaks some off him.
-
And immediately the fountain of blood was dried up and she felt.
-
She felt.
-
What did she feel?
-
She felt the anointing go into her and she felt the anointing do a work and she felt that she was healed.
-
She felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
-
There's a lot of feeling here for those who say, I don't like feeling churches.
-
You know, feeling churches get too emotional.
-
Why is it always about feeling?
-
It's not always about feeling, but it's not always about your frontal lobe either.
-
Do you know what I mean when I say frontal lobe?
-
There's a lot of serious people in the second half of the sanctuary looking at me.
-
So I say frontal lobe and you.
-
You cerebral cortex.
-
Thank God for intelligence, but he's not the holy brain.
-
He's the Holy Spirit.
-
And he's going to communicate to you to your spirit.
-
So if you endeavor to try to understand an eternal God who is spirit with your brain,
-
there's going to be a real mismatch there.
-
You aren't going to be able to do it.
-
Which is why those theologians, those frontal lobe and scholars are such a hoot.
-
You see them on TV, like on the history channel documentary.
-
I was watching one and they talked about Samson.
-
You know, Samson was anointed by God.
-
He had supernatural strength and he killed a thousand Philistines with a jawbone of a donkey.
-
And they're telling that, you know, the reenactment and then cut.
-
And there's the frontal lobe and scholar.
-
He's got all the books in the background.
-
He's looking very deeply into the camera.
-
And this is real.
-
And he's playing with the jawbone of a donkey.
-
And he goes, as you can see, a jawbone with a donkey is quite angular.
-
And there's a lot of sharp edges.
-
And I'm going, what?
-
Guys got more degrees than a thermometer.
-
And educated way beyond his intellect.
-
These are the same people who said, well, Moses, he crossed through the Red Sea with two million Hebrews behind him.
-
But you know, there's a real shallow part of the Red Sea.
-
There's certain tides that come in and it's only like six inches to a foot.
-
So maybe, which would be such a miracle because it means that God drowned the entire Egyptian army in six inches of water.
-
So I'm just explaining to everybody, that's what I meant by frontal obean.
-
Be a full heart in.
-
Don't check your brain and at the door.
-
God gave it to you.
-
Use it.
-
But don't only focus on your intellect because the things of God are spiritually discerned.
-
And your head will second guess him all the time.
-
You'll get the paralysis of analysis if you try to reason and rationalize there.
-
There has to be a step of faith.
-
Every time, still, when I go to pray, you know what I like in it too?
-
Because I actually have bungee jumped.
-
If you have, you know what I mean?
-
It's like a bungee jump.
-
You don't know what it's going to be like.
-
You don't know what's waiting for you.
-
You just, all right, I'm going to meet with the Lord.
-
And Jesus, so she felt power going to her and she felt herself get healed.
-
And Jesus, next verse, immediately knowing in himself, see a lot of feeling.
-
He felt virtue, the King James Bible says virtue, power, anointing, the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.
-
He felt it come out of him and she felt it go into her.
-
And there's nothing wrong with getting to that place in your life where you can feel his presence and enjoy his presence.
-
David, I believe it's Psalm 67 or 63.
-
Psalm 63, he said, he said, I meditate on you in the night watches.
-
My flesh cries out.
-
My body, my flesh cries out for your prayer.
-
I want to feel your presence on my body.
-
Nothing wrong with that.
-
As long as it's not the only thing that you hinge your faith on because then when you don't feel it, you have a panic attack and a crisis of faith.
-
You always have the word.
-
You always can go by faith.
-
But thank God for when you feel him.
-
Yeah.
-
And don't ever settle for the lie that you go, well, I just don't, whatever.
-
No.
-
No, you say, well, that's not my culture.
-
I love you, but I don't care about your culture.
-
We've got 80 different nations.
-
You know, it's said that we have 80 different nations represented here.
-
It's because, you know why? Because I'm so woke.
-
People know right in.
-
They come in and go, there's a progressive pastor and we draw such diversity.
-
Sounds like we have the penguin in here.
-
Got a lot of cultures in here.
-
I mean, I come from the Balkans if you don't seem to bring my accordion.
-
Put your personal culture on pause and open the Bible and go, what is Bible culture?
-
What is biblical culture?
-
I've got my culture.
-
But then the Bible tells me to shout unto the Lord with the voice of triumph,
-
to rejoice in the Lord.
-
Oh, so maybe my culture is really quiet and has typhled me my whole life.
-
And then I, wow, biblical culture sets me free.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So he knew power had gone out of him and he turned around in the crowd and said,
-
who touched my clothes?
-
But his disciples said to him, you see the multitude thronging you.
-
And you say, who touched me?
-
Because it's strange, right?
-
It would be like, I mean, imagine you're on a subway train at 5.30pm in Midtown
-
and all of a sudden you go, who touched me?
-
And your friend is like, bro, and there's like 50 people all around you.
-
Everyone's touching you.
-
But she's like, no, that was a special touch.
-
It was the touch of faith, the touch of hunger.
-
If you knew your next level is so close, it just requires you getting desperate
-
enough to pursue the Lord and get a fresh touch.
-
I'm telling, it's right there.
-
But some people are waiting around.
-
I've been guilty of that.
-
You kind of wait around.
-
Eventually you get sick and tired of being sick and tired and you go, all right.
-
It's not just happening.
-
It's not just happening like ripe cherries falling off a tree.
-
So you know what?
-
I think I'll pursue the Lord.
-
And then you feel like a dope because the breakthrough comes so quickly
-
and the pursuit wasn't even that difficult.
-
You're like, I really wasted a lot of time just sitting around doing nothing.
-
Had I known, I could just meet with the Lord, chase after him, engage him.
-
And theointing would fix everything.
-
Look at his split.
-
Amen.
-
But the woman fearing and trembling.
-
I mean, there's several reasons she was fearing and trembling.
-
She was there illegally.
-
But the trembling part.
-
When you actually focus on all of Jesus' miracles, you notice he doesn't have any dry miracles.
-
There's always a response.
-
She's trembling.
-
Sometimes people tremble under the presence of God.
-
The Quakers, by the way, were called Quakers because they quaked under the presence of God.
-
How do you think they make such good oats?
-
It's the anointing.
-
But it's true.
-
The only problem is the presence of God with Drew and they kept on quaking in the flesh.
-
And that's kind of always what happens.
-
You do it in the flesh and then your brand becomes oats instead of the power of God.
-
I have nothing against Quakers.
-
I'm just having fun here this morning.
-
So serious.
-
Some of you have family members.
-
You got very defensive about the Quakers.
-
And he said to her daughter,
-
your faith has made you well worshiped him.
-
You can come up.
-
Go in peace and be healed.
-
Go in peace.
-
Go in Shalom.
-
Go in nothing missing, nothing lacking, nothing broken.
-
The anointing causes your life to have nothing missing, nothing lacking, nothing broken.
-
Go in peace.
-
Go in the Shalom of God and be healed of your affliction.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Pellare feta sendanta.
-
Go ahead and just lift your hands to heaven.
-
Mentasta, fendera, vadasta, ladakanta.
-
Hella, ladaramamba, ladaramanta, ladaramanta, ladaramanta, ladarvava.
-
Be filled.
-
I release the anointing of God upon you in Jesus' name.
-
The anointing that refreshes.
-
The anointing that heals.
-
The anointing that sets straight and aligns.
-
Come upon you in Jesus' name.
-
Be blessed.
-
Be blessed.
