Is there an Anointing in or on your life?

Welcome back!  I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to be discussing anointing.  We hear the term, “anointing, but do we fully understand what it is, and do we understand how God is willing to equip us with our own anointing?  Have you asked the Lord what anointing He has available to you?  Do you know how to apply the anointing in your life? Top Show Points:·      Discussed anointing·      Definition of anointing: to set apart a person, place, or thing for divine use.·      An example of this is Isaiah 61:1·      In the Old Testament, priests, kings and prophets were  who God called for service and were anointed.  ·      In the New Testament we learn more about the anointing because the Anointed One, Jesus, the Messiah, brings to us a new anointing available to us through the Holy Spirit.  ·      So “anointing”encompassed more than just a call, but an action involving an “anointing oil” as well.  ·      The word Messiah comes from a Hebrew word meaning “anointed one”.   ·      1 John 2:20 discusses our anointing as a believer·      1 John 2:27 also discusses the anointing we have from the Holy Spirit·      All anointings are not equal? some people are called to Ministry Anointings (Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, Preacher, Apostle)·      Your anointing and an increase in your anointing is directly tied to your relationship with the Holy Spirit.  If you want to see an increase in your anointing, then you need to develop your relationship with Him and in my opinion, you cannot function in an anointing without two-way communication.  ·      There are several types of anointings.  We can see several types in the bible by looking at how God used His people.·      There are functional anointings like healing, intercessory prayer, discipleship.  ·      Story of Brother Lowell in my church and his anointing·      Understand that an anointing doesn’t always come easy, sometimes there is a cost. ·      The Lord will equip us in the anointing that he provides but it will require our time·      When we begin to know, understand, step into our anointing, the enemy loses ground where we step.  ·      Exodus 40:9 we see that anointing with oil wasn’t just for people, but objects to consecrate them. ·      Anointing your house We encourage you: ·       To have an active Bible reading plan, it will be helpful in gaining wisdom and understanding and it is required for the gift of spiritual discernment ·       If you want to learn more about how to Hear God's Voice, take a look at my book, Loving Conversations: How to Pray and Hear God's Voice.  There is also a Study Guide available and two new devotionals out based on the Loving Conversations Book.  ·       Class coming up 8/2 based on the Loving Conversations book on how to hear God’s Voice, sign up at lovingconversationssalo.comI have enjoyed our time this week and look forward to spending time with you again next week!  http://instagram.com/conqueringourunseenenemies<br/>https://www.facebook.com/conqueringourunseenenemies/<br/>https://twitter.com/DawnConquering<br/>https://pin.it/3meY5IS
