Corporate anointing is shut down by corporate unbelief. The manifested Presence of GOD is the mark of Divine authority. It is a governmental responsibility. You and I have the responsibility to bind here what is not free to rule there in Heaven and to loose here what is already loosed in Heaven.
We were designed by GOD to be citizens of another world. We are meant to make decisions that actually shape the course of history. We are not meant to embrace the inferior. How do we know what is inferior? By being in the manifested Presence of GOD.
Grace is the enablement of GOD! Jesus revealed this Truth to Paul in 2nd Corinthians chapter 12:
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:
7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (answers to prayer); so you will be My disciples.
The lack of answers to prayer are not due to Our Heavenly Father, they are connected to my willingness to abide. The felt Presence of GOD is the absolute key to continuous answers to prayer. When we have the manifested Presence of GOD upon us and come before THE FATHER with a request, there is a power and authority that we have been invited into, to bring forth the answer to our prayer.
Abiding is a felt Presence of GOD, not just a recognition of The Almighty GOD being here. Abiding is my engagement with HIM. It is an encounter, an exchange, a fellowship, an intimacy.
When I am abiding, I think differently, I feel different, I speak different, I see different, and I respond differently. When I am abiding IN HIM, I am prone to see the reality of Heaven and bring forth Heaven to earth.
There are no degrees of difficulty for Our Heavenly Father to set people free, heal them, restore them, or impart a miracle to benefit them.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 16:
16 Simon Peter spoke up and said, “You are the Anointed One, the Son of the living God!”
17 Jesus replied, “You are favored and privileged Simeon, son of Jonah! For you didn’t discover this on your own, but My Father in Heaven has supernaturally revealed it to you.
18 I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this rock will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build My church (ekklesia)—My legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it!
19 I will give you the keys of Heaven’s Kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in Heaven.”
In other Words:
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”
The church is built on revelation.
Again, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 18:
18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three (ekklesia) are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
The ekklesia are not made up of buildings, but instead are made up of two or three where Jesus is in their midst.
When we bind something on earth, we are to replace it by loosing something in it place. If we bind and cast out a demon, we are to replace the demon with The Holy Spirit to dwell in the person, otherwise we can make matters worse.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 11:
24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
If we bind only, we miss the point of loosing in concert with the binding.
We must have increased understanding of how HIS world works and what our responsibilities are. We represent another world. Jesus didn’t give us authority to keep us busy until He returns, He gave us authority to make a difference in the world we live in.
Jesus emphasized this Truth in John chapter 8:
23 And Jesus plainly said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
And in John chapter 18:
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My Kingdom is not from here.”
As we abide IN HIM, we will take on His anointing and will exercise governmental authority to bring forth Heaven to earth. Jesus provided us with a clear example of being in this world but not being of this world.
