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"
God has given
us the anointing to help us. Oh how we need help. As human's, we
are constantly messing with the blessing. God's way is much
better. If we can find that way and stick to it, we will become what
God wants us to become much faster. But because we are imperfect
earthen vessels, we make mistakes.
Fortunately, God loves us and has provided a mechanism to help us move in
the right direction. It is called the anointing and comes from the
comforter, teacher and guide ... the Holy Spirit. Our part is to
become sensitive to what the anointing or Holy Spirit is wanting us to do.
Proof of the anointing is not
how much money we are making or how prosperous we look on the outside.
It's how prosperous and rich we are on the inside. Now, don't
get me wrong, the Holy Spirit wants to bless us on the outside as well.
There are several things we should take note of in this scripture...
-
The anointing "abideth" ... that means it stays. He makes a
permanent dwelling inside and is there to stay.
-
Although people play an important part in our lives and God will
actually use relationships to teach us things, but the anointing is our
real teacher.
-
He teaches from inside and is monitoring our hearts and lives 24/7
-
He will teach us ALL things
That is such a powerful thing. He will teach us "ALL THINGS"
If we listen and tune our hearts into Him, He will teach us "ALL THINGS"
That means, if the Holy Spirit is directing us to do something, there is nothing on this earth that we cannot do,
because He will teach us how to do or say it.
If there is something wrong
with us (I have not met anyone perfect yet) then He knows how to fix us up.
The question then is "will we be able to hear" The bibles says
"he that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit sayeth" It's
the inward voice or witness. We have our conscience tuned to the voice
of the Spirit as opposed to the un-yielded having their consciences seared
so they cannot hear.
It goes much deeper. The anointing will even teach us how to abide
in Christ. In other words, He will help us to stay in the presence of
God. A greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, that's what
is needed in our lives.
My prayer : "Thank you
Lord, that my spirit is made sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit
within me. That I may hear what it is that You want me to do. " |
