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.
