 HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING

Isaiah 35:1-7 This prophecy specifically pointed to what would happen when the Messiah He came. The blind would see again; the deaf would hear again; the lame would run and leap and dance again; the mute would shout and sing for joy again; the dead would be raised to life again; incurable illness would be cured; demons would be cast out of the oppressed.

These are the very things Jesus Christ, Jesus the Messiah, did in His ministry on earth before His crucifixion and resurrection. These are the things He said His followers would continue to do as signs of the Kingdom of God pushing back, displacing the kingdom of darkness, the consequences of Adam's fall in Eden.

When someone believes the Gospel, turns from self and sin, and in that repentance turns to God, the Holy Spirit come to live in that person the Resurrection Life of Jesus Christ. He comes to live out salvation and restoration in you. When the Holy Spirit then comes upon the believer, empowering them, anointing them for ministry, it is for others, that the authority of Jesus Christ might be manifest through them with signs that will make others wonder that Jesus is Who He said He is.

Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. He has not stopped doing in and through His followers what He said He would continue to do in and through His followers. He will demonstrate His power and authority, restoring, healing, delivering and blessing.

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
