The word for today is - Anointed !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Anointed ! 
 
The anointed one, it's one who is consecrated for a special office or function. In simple terms, the anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit being smeared upon someone. It is the overflowing life of Jesus which imparts supernatural strength enabling an individual to perform a special task or function in an office he is called and appointed to. God knows who He called, God knows who He Anointed, and He also knows who He did not call or Anoint. Another meaning for the word anointed is "chosen one." The Bible says that Jesus Christ was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit to spread the Good News and free those who have been held captive by sin, read  Luke 4; Acts 10. Also read 2 Corinthians 1:20-22, For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest ( the down payment) of the Spirit in our hearts.  You have the anointing of God flowing through you when God's heart touches another person's heart through your heart. The anointing of God is the Holy Spirit. He flows as a river of love, from the throne of grace, through the hearts of believers, bringing life to all that receive His touch. God anoints people that love Him more than they love their own lives, and that love others as themselves. As we open our hearts to love others God's anointing flows through us. When we close our hearts to others and grieve the Holy Spirit the flow stops.You are not anointed by association, you are anointed by proclamation. The Lord first calls you, he then anoints you, and only then does he send you. When God calls you, anoints you, then sends you, only then can you minister life to others. When the anointed man of God speaks the Word of God, it penetrates your soul. It then produces faith in the hearer, and at this point the hearer can receive the fruit of this Word.  God's anointing flows to those who are hungry for a touch from His Holy Spirit. The anointing has less to do with the person that it flows through. The anointing gives wisdom. Psalm 90:12, So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
