Are we to make a demand on the anointing of GOD?
Where does your confidence lie? Our confidence is a firm trust and relying on GOD.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
A more descriptive translation:
12 TPT
From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of Heaven’s Kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power (anointing).
Are we to sit around in a passive state, accepting the current conditions that surround us? Are we to accept partial blessings, healings, and/or success?
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 8:
43 In the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered greatly for twelve years from slow bleeding. Even though she had spent all that she had on healers, she was still suffering.
44 Pressing in through the crowd, she came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His garment. Instantly her bleeding stopped and she was healed.
45 Jesus suddenly stopped and said to his disciples, “Someone touched Me. Who was it?” While they all denied it, Peter pointed out, “Master, everyone is touching You, trying to get close to You. The crowds are so thick we can’t walk through all these people without being jostled.”
46 Jesus replied, “Yes, but I felt power surge(the anointing, charisma) through Me. Someone touched Me to be healed, and they received their healing.”
47 When the woman realized she couldn’t hide any longer, she came and fell trembling at Jesus’ Feet. Before the entire crowd she declared, “I was desperate to touch you, Jesus, for I knew if I could just touch even the fringe of Your garment I would be healed.”
48 Jesus responded, “Beloved daughter, your faith in Me released your healing. You may go with my peace.”
Did the woman sit around waiting for Jesus to approach her? No, her faith would not be denied full and complete healing. There would be no acceptable partial healing for her. She knew that the anointing of Jesus would resolve her twelve-year chronic disease. The healers of the day gladly accepted payment for failure to heal. Is it any different today? What would happen if widespread healing occurred today? Instantly, there would no longer be a shortage of doctors and nurses. Medical building programs would cease. Health insurance costs would shrink dramatically. Selah!
It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Joshua chapter 1:
5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses (substitute Jesus for Moses), so I will be with you (you and me today). I will not leave you nor forsake you.
6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law (of Agape Love) which Moses My servant (Jesus My Son) commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 This Book of the Law (of Agape Love) shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in It day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in It. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD Your God is with you wherever you go.”
The Word of THE LORD applies to you and me as It did to Joshua. Only he and Caleb had a good report concerning the entry into the Promised Land. We too need to be strong and of good courage as we expect and demand the anointing to flow in us and through us as we walk in Holiness and Agape Love.
