Nuggets on Understanding the Anointing of God Part 5: Hindrances to the Anointing 2:

Today's teaching  is the continuation on more  hindrances to the operations of The Anointing in and around us , in our homes and families, after which , i will shed more light on how to activate the anointing within us.Stay in touch and enjoy the nuggets.

More Hindrances

1.Wives not submitting to their own husbands and  husbands not loving their own wives as they ought to by  dwelling with them with honor and understanding. Operating in a house where there is lack of order. The anointing flows better where the family respects and operates in divine order.

I Peter 3:5-7

Submission to Husbands Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.  Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands.

A Word to Husbands

 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Called to Blessing Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. 

Eph 5:22-29   Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.  For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Col 3;18-Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

2. Not recognizing that we have the anointing in us and we are anointed.

1 John 2:27; But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will  abide in Him.

    3. Seeking   to be  men pleasers instead  of  God pleasers.

Col 3;22-25 Bond servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.

Nuggets on Understanding the Anointing of God 4: Hindrances to the Flow of the Anointing.

1.It is dangerous to tamper with the anointing of God or with the person of the Holy Spirit. A couple in the early church lied to the Holy Spirit and it cost them their lives. Thank God for the mercies of God upon our lives these days, with so much lies and distrust that goes on in Church we don’t experience such instant and devastating judgments for telling lies about our tithes and offerings and other sins committed in the Church today. Thank God for that.

Acts 51-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. ² And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. ³ But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? ⁴ While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.

⁵ Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. ⁶ And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

⁷ Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ⁸ And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”

She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” ¹⁰ Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. ¹¹ So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

May God help us all to walk in honesty , use and not abuse the anointing and stand  in awe of this precious Gift of The Anointing and in awe of our Most High God in all our endeavors in Jesus name.Amen

2.Living a life of walking in the flesh rather than walking in the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:25-32

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

²⁵ Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. ²⁶ “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,²⁷ nor give place to the devil. ²⁸ Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. ²⁹ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. ³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

3. Walking in worry, fear, anxiety, forgiveness, bitterness and anger.

All the above are negative vibes that depletes the anointing of God from flowing in and through us. They block us from operating in the fullness of what Christ had accomplished for us on the cross at Calvary. Anointing thrives and flows to his maximum in an atmosphere of walking in the spirit and walking in love.

Nuggets on Undestanding The Anointing of God 3:The Anointing in the New Testament

 Happy Happy new month of Perfection;July  to you all.Enjoy the continuation on the series'Nuggets on  Understanding the Anointing of God Part 3.You and I are anointed for service.Go and bear fruits that will abide this July.
The Anointing in the New Testament represent God the Father , His Son ;Jesus and The Person of the Holy Spirit.

For New Testament Christians, we also have the ability to experience the three levels of The Anointing;

First level is when we get the dwelling of the Holy Spirit after getting saved, when we accept Jesus into our lives as Lord and savior. We receive the Father, Son and His Holy Spirit.

John 4:1-14: This is the well level at the time of new birth in Christ.

Second level: This is the river level, when we get baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

John 7:37-39   on the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will Flow Rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

The first and second level of The Anointing   is subject to changes with us and to our own individual pursuit of God , His Words and our relationship with the Holy Spirit. It also depends on with whom and what we are associating with, if we lean more with walking with ungodly people , we cannot increase in these two levels ,lastly if one is selfish at these levels with the anointing without blessing others with it, it will not increase, the anointing is for service to humanity and not for showmanship or selfish people.

Third level: This is the rain level. This is the overflow level and rain is equivalent to the anointing, this is the fullness of the river and the well.

Zechariah 10:1 Ask the Lord for rain
In the time of the latter rain.
The Lord will make flashing clouds;
He will give them showers of rain,
Grass in the field for everyone.

Rain Is the release of God’s power that makes it possible to do outstanding performances.

We can ask God for more rain of his anointing when we are not selfish with the one he gave us initially he always increases our levels.

Matthew 26:6[The Anointing at Bethany] And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,

Mark 14:3[The Anointing at Bethany] And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

Luke 4;18;The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
    for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.

Acts 10:38; and you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

John 12:1 [The Anointing at Bethany] Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

James 5:14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Nuggets on Understanding the Anointing of God 1

I am so excited that finally God is releasing these nuggets on the “Anointing of God”. May God bless and empower you all as you read these nuggets as I was while preparing them. The following are dictionary definitions of the Word; “Anointing”;

1. To smear on, pour on or rub with oil as done in a religious ceremony.

2. To consecrate for religious services and offices.

3. for sanctification

4. To choose by or and as if by divine intervention

In the Holy Bible , people will anointed with oil both in the New Testament and in the Old Testament for the following reasons; For consecration for services, to signify God’s blessings upon someone’s life, for protection, for empowerment ,to ordain for God’s calling upon one’s life, for special purposes, projects and  specific offices.

It is important to note here that the  oil and   the water that are being used for those consecrations  are just  symbols. God is the only one capable of anointing someone and the blessings  rest  upon the recipients from God and His power and not from the power of the  symbols.

The anointing for us in the New Testament is more than symbol because He is the person of the Holy Spirit in dwelling in  us, once we become saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit. Also the Anointing is our  empowerment and the endowment we receive from God to enable us carry out our God given goals and God given dreams and to enable us fulfill God’s calling, commission and purposes for our lives .Without the power of the anointing of God in our lives, we are empty and powerless . This is why some people that are not saved may make a choice to  go through many extreme and  devilish quests for obtaining  power to do great works.  The Sons of Sceva  in the book of Acts,tried to cast out  devils like anointed Apostle Paul did, but they were without the anointing hence experienced torture and  torment  from  the evil spirit they were trying to cast out .This was because they were not anointed by God to do what they were trying to do and also spirits recognize each other in the realm of the spirit.

Acts 19:11 God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles. ¹² When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.

¹³ A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” ¹⁴ Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this. ¹⁵ But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?” ¹⁶ Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.

Thank God for us  believers, we are already blessed by God to do exploits by the reason of the anointing He has freely  given unto us.

Acts 1; 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

1 John  2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

Daniel 11:32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

Isaiah 10 :27 it shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

 John 14:16 And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper that He may abide with you forever

1 John  2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

2 Corinthians 4:7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
