To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you the hope of glory. Col:1:27 Christ, the Anointed One and His Anointing, is our hope of glory. He is the earnest of our inheritance... unto the praise of His glory. Eph.1:14 The anointing and the glory go together. In the anointing are power, healing, holiness, and what follows as we obey, glory. Through Jesus Christ, the Anointed One and His Anointing, we have "access by faith into the grace… and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." Rom.5:1-2 The Anointing removes the burden and destroys the yoke. Is.10:27 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee... And he said thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live. Ex.33:19-20 And thou shall set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be put to death. Ex.19:12 And David and all Israel played before God with all their Might, and with singing... and when they came unto the Threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold The ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 1Chr.13:8-10 The presence of God in his glory, under the full anointing of God, will not tolerate sin in its presence. From "no man can see my face and live" to Uzza put his hand to the ark and died", the glory of God wipes out sin. 1John 2:27 tells us that the anointing teacheth all things and is no lie.” In the Acts of the Apostles chapter 5 we read that Ananias and Sapphira covenanted with money and lied to the Holy Ghost and died on the spot. The anointing and the glory go hand and hand and under his power will not allow sin, sickness, or ignorance in his midst. Until Adam sinned, he and Eve were under the power of the anointing and would never have died. Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing, could withstand the onslaughts of Calvary and would not die because He was sinless and under the power of the anointing. It was only after he gave up the Ghost freely, did He taste death for every man. What remitted the sin of the world that was placed on the body of Christ was the anointing. I will venture to say, what will sustain the church during the millennium will, also, be the anointing. Now the way we grow in the faith and the anointing is through trial and testing. “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold, though it be tried with fire, might be found to the praise and honor, and glory of God…yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” 1Peter1:7-8 Psalm 119:67 says it well, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word." As we overcome the challenges of the world, the flesh, and the devil, by faith, obedience and the anointing, we grow in grace, divine health, prosperity, and the glory. Therefore, we can talk to sin, sickness, poverty, and death and tell them that they have no power over us because we abide under the anointing. The day is coming that those under the full power of the anointing will drive the sinner to repentance and the sick to health just like Peter as his shadow was cast upon the sick. Only those reserved for darkness will experience death. As for us, we will rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Let us look at St. Paul, Of the Jews five times received forty stripes Save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once Stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and A day I have been in the deep: In journeyings often, In perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by My own countrymen, in perils by heathens, in perils In the city, in perils in the wilderness, in peril in the Sea, in perils among false brethren; 2Cor.11:25-26 The quote goes on and on. St. Paul because he was under the anointing could not die. And if he did die during his beating, the Spirit brought him back to life. Only when it was his time, "I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my course..." (2Tim.4) did God take him home and so it can be with us. God has given us the same anointing as Jesus, the same faith, the same word, the same God. We do not have to accept sin, sickness, disease, or any other malady on our bodies because we are the body of Christ. And if we are the body of Christ we can live complete, whole, sound, with nothing broken and nothing lacking. Whatever our situation, the anointing can and will obliterate the malady when we activate our faith. Amen Prayer for Divine Health I am the body of Christ. The Anointed one dwelleth in me And me in him. Sin, sickness, and disease can not abide In the Anointing. Therefore, I speak to this infirmity to leave In the name of Jesus, the name that is above Every other name. The name that is above every Sin, sickness, and disease. That at that name, this disease must bow and depart As I walk in divine heath, as I walk in the Spirit. Amen |
