Anointed
When you endure a righteous walk in the
presence of God and defend his word, you will be anointed. Only God the Father
knows when that anointing occurs. Every good and perfect gift is from above.
James 1:16-17 – Do not err, my beloved
brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
Your life will proceed as normal and no one
knows when that anointing from God above will occur. I’m not talking about some
oil on a thumb rub to your forehead act of man anointing. I’m talking about
that anointing from above that changes your life and walk with God.
John 3:7-8- Marvel
not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it
listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Acts 1:7-8 – And he said unto them, It is not
for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own
power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
That walk will most likely not be easy, for
you glory in tribulations knowing that God has your back.
Romans 5:3-5 – And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience,
experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
I look back on that day on 9/4/21 being
totally in distress when I defended God’s word and God texted me Romans 8:28.
Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according
to his purpose.
Despite the outcome of what could happen, I
immediately sent a message to the pastors and jail ministry team telling them
not to send anyone else to the jail and tell the inmates that they are saved
with the gift of everlasting life and can never lose it, after a brief 4 verse
repeat after me exercise with the inmates. Within three days, that jail
ministry was God’s! I look back on that day and glory in the tribulation I went
through, knowing that the outcome was already planned by God. He just needed me
to trust him. From that day forward, I knew the truth in God’s message of
salvation was not a four verse repeat after me promise from man.
1 John 2:27 – But the anointing which ye have
received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as
the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and
even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
During the next two years of jail lessons and
seeking the truth in God’s word, God had made it clear to me that out of the
mouth of two or three witnesses you will know the truth. Twelve times in the
bible God tells you how to understand the truth in his word. (See Deuteronomy
17:6; Deuteronomy 19:15; 1 Kings 21:10; 1 Kings 21:13; Matthew 18:16; John
8:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:29; 2 Corinthians 13:1; Hebrews 6:18; Hebrews 10:28;
1 Timothy 5:19; Revelations 11:3) God
was with me and continued to send me verse after verse to understand his word.
1 Timothy 5:19 – Against an elder receive not
an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Ironic as it may seem, the first lesson that
used the preponderance of evidence standard from the mouth of two or three
witnesses was Bible Matter 228: Salvation POE. This lesson was published in my
sixth gospel book, “New Beginning” as a sunrise over Zoar. Like Lot, you are to
turn from your city of sin. Six is the number of man. This was man’s new beginning in understanding
the truth in God’s doctrine of love brought to the earth by the prophet and Son
of God, known as Jesus. God’s salvation message out of the mouth of all eight
witnesses is clear. There is but one God, God the Father. Believe in the
message that Jesus brought to the earth. Repent of your sins and be converted
or born again as a child of God. Live a righteous life by doing the will of God
serving him and your neighbor. Do not abide in sin and darkness. Religious acts
are not required for God’s gift. Judge no one and keep true to God’s word. God
is not looking for Sunday only worship. He is not looking for your money or
tithes. God wants your heart. Keep yourself in the love of God by sharing the
truth in his word. Show your faith by your works. Do this seven days a week. Endure to the end
with the promise of everlasting life in heaven. You will be judged by God.
To be anointed, God is looking for your whole
heart. He is looking for your will to serve him and your neighbor.
Jeremiah 24:7 – And I will give them an heart
to know me, that I am the Lord : and they shall be my people, and I will be
their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
When you are anointed, you do what is right in
the sight of the Lord. Mary Magdalene knew it was the right thing to do to
anoint the body of Jesus on the third day. She was not afraid of those that
murdered Jesus. Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdelene. She returned and
reported that Jesus was alive and the disciples believed not. Mary was not
upset that they did not believe. She saw Jesus and she believed.
Mark 16:1,9,11 – And when the sabbath was
past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought
sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. Now when Jesus was risen
early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of
whom he had cast seven devils. And they, when they had heard that he was alive,
and had been seen of her, believed not.
You are anointed by God the Father.
2 Corinthians 1:20-21 – For all the promises
of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he
which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
The love of neighbor is what God is looking
for. Anointing is an act of love. God is looking for you to live his gospel of
Love seven days a week, period. He is looking for your love without fear. Mary
Magdalene was a great servant that had her sins forgiven. She served when
others feared for their life. She was anointed by the Holy Ghost to serve in
God’s kingdom.
Luke 7:44-47,50 – And he turned to the woman,
and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I
entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath
washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou
gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss
my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed
my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth
little. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
God is looking for you to do good and spread
the truth in his word.
Acts 10:38 – How God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
God is telling you that your eyes and heart
will be opened to the truth in his word, if you do as taught by his word. You
do, when you believe. This blind man believed and with mud on his eyes made his
way to the pool of Siloam where his eyes were open. His do was the walk to
Siloam.
John 9:6-7,11 – When he had thus spoken, he
spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of
the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go,
wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent. He went his way therefore, and washed, and came
seeing. He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and
anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I
went and washed, and I received sight.
When you believe, God is looking for your do.
Your do of showing your love of God by repenting and turning from sin and
loving your neighbor. God will have your back.
To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
