Without fresh anointing that comes only from continued intimacy with
God we are living in our own strength.
. The Old Testament declaration is still 100 percent true today: It is
Zec 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not
by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
. Gadgets and gimmicks will never accomplish what God the Holy Spirit
can do in one month as he works in the life of a church.
. Jesus says the anointing flows from our being: Joh 7:38 Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow
from within him."
Joh 7:39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were
later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus
had not yet been glorified.
Let's Pray: Lord, send a revival and let it begin in us, in our hearts and
churches- no matter how or where it begins, Lord, send a revival of the Holy
Spirit among your people.
Think of the potential we have in the anointing to serve, to love, to
witness, to pray, to give, to build God's church, to preach, teach, connect
groups, raise family and win friends.
Remember because the gifts and calling of God are "irrevocable" (Romans
11:29) = You still need fresh anointing on your calling and giftedness
It is this anointing that opens your mind, teaches you, guides you, calls
you to pray, empowers you, and enables you to be stronger Christians, more
powerful Christians. Not just people who are saved, but people who are
saved, indwelt, and empowered.
