annointing

what is anointing?

very touchy, odd subject for some, well alot of people. i did not understand or know what it meant or thought it was for "fanatics". anointing is something that occurs and has occurred since the beginning of time.n 1 John 2:20 we are told that every Christian possesses the holy anointing. John writes, "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth." You cannot be a Christian unless you have the Holy Spirit. In verse 27 we are told, "And as for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you." Christians receive this anointing at the time of their conversion. It is speaking about baptism in the Holy Spirit. We must then understand a few things. Every Christian has this anointing because every Christian has received the Holy Spirit.

the bible says that every believer of Jesus Christ is anointed. what is the significance of being anointed? by

this ceremony, the participant's are set apart, commissioned, and authorized by God to work for HIM.

how cool to "work" for God!! my employer is God, he is understanding, considerate, timely, holy,

great leader...etc. what complaint's could you have? what could he do better or different? NOTHING.

it makes me wonder what anointing we have, but do not choose to use it. how many friends and family could we pray over and help? just throwing it out there. i believe if we have faith, then we are allowed to make a difference in someone's life, to help them re-focus and find the way home. i teach my sunday school class, who are adorable, that God gives each of us what we need in our heart, it is a homing device, and when we get far away, it draws us back to HIM. we cannot help but want to return, because we are programmed to do so, with absolute free will, of course. gotta love that free will, gets us into trouble over and over again...

blessings today and always.
