What is the Anointing? What does it means to be Anointed? - Wise Word with Angela Thornton Ep 0010

hello I'm Angela Thornton welcome to wise words I invite you to join me for the next few moments as we discuss what is the anointing what does it mean to be a new tech and are they the same thing come on in have a seat let's get started [Music] what is the anointing what does it mean to be anointed is there a difference between the two participating in an anointing service does that mean I possess the anointing of God that would be a no Luke 4:18 says this the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to proclaim Liberty to the captives recovering of sight to the blind to set at liberty those who are oppressed the Spirit of the Lord has anointed me first John 2:27 I love John he had so much wisdom he says this as for you the anointing which you have received from him him is God abides in you and you have no need for anyone to teach you but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie and just as it has taught you you abide in him let me just take a pause right there that does not mean you do not need to be taught that does not mean that you do not need to sit under those who are wiser who have more experience in the gospel so please don't think that you can pick that scratch up and say well John says I didn't need to be taught no that's not what John means let us observe what it says interpret what it mean so that we can apply it properly but if we don't fully understand verse 27 we need to go back to verse 20 a first John to where John tells us that we have an anointing from the Holy Spirit your anointing is from the Holy Spirit now I am a teacher so I like to look up the etymology of words and what they mean in the original languages I have a friend who says I like to read backwards because I'm fascinated with Hebrew but that's another story in the New Testament they two Greek words for anoint one is creo which means to smear a rub oil with the one that we're used to you know we keep our little anointing oil in a person we rub it out you know grab it real quick and we're quick I will anoint them the other by implication it also means to consecrate to office or for religious service so when you smearing that all you're doing it for a purpose the other word is a Lefou which means to anoint so in Bible times people were anointed with oil its signified God's blessing or his coal on that person's life our person was anointed for a special purpose whether they were being anointed to be King David was anointed at 15 he didn't get appointed to 30 so just because you are anointed to a thing does not mean you are appointed to it right now so don't stir I you know I'm anointed for this are you anointed for it now it's now the time is now the acceptable time is now the season some were anointed to be a prophet to be a builder if you remember when they were building the tabernacle God anointed a certain man so that he would have wisdom and how to craft all the materials and the tools and the gold and those things that were used in the tabernacle right so there is nothing wrong with anointing a person with oil today in fact scripture says there's any sick among you let him call for the elders and anoint you with oil we just have to make sure that the purpose of the anointing is an agreement with Scripture because we sometimes as believers in Christ believe that we just get a little oil and slapping on everything honey I just anointed that car that were no longer dead wood does not mean that car is yours it just means it's greasy I'm going to anoint him I mean and I was one of those I admit that would anoint everything in my son's room everything toothbrush everything was anointed it just meant it was greasy because there's no power in the oil the oil is not where the power is so just because you anoint someone or something it should not be viewed as some magic potion you got your little Barlow oil and you've anointed and I got this magic potion why because the oil has no power the power is in the god that you serve who has told you to anoint so it's only God who can anoint a person for a specific purpose now let me just say this yes God anoints but he uses human so he is not pouring oil from Evan down Aaron's beard so let's not be if we use oil it is a symbol of what God is doing it is a symbol the oil lifts symbolic of what God is doing or what he's called that person to or what he has said to consecrate this building and anoint it if the Holy Spirit says I need you to anoint your house is not that the power is in the oil if the power is in your obedience and the purpose for which you have been instructed to anoint the person or the thing another meaning of the word anointing its chosen one so it's not just about the oil it's about sometimes being the 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 were held captive by sin that would include me and you after Christ left this earth he gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit so we have been anointed with the Spirit of God that's what first John says and so what I want you to understand is if you are a Christ follower if you are a believer of Christ Jesus if you have accepted him as Lord and Savior and you call yourself saved let me hip you to something you are anointed you are anointed because you have been Cho for specific purpose to do the work that God has assigned your hand to do in advance before you ever knew there was a youth you are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus to do the work that God has planned beforehand so you are anointed you are anointed to do the work to further the kingdom of the Lord and we go back to 1st John 2:22 us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God who also has sealed us and given us his spirit in our hearts as a guarantee you are anointed you are anointed you have not though been anointed by God to be grand you have not been anointed by God to walk around saying I'm anointed can see again the anointing is not the oil to be anointed with oil does not mean you have been anointed by God because sinners can anoint with oil my god baby act the way you used to go get in the ointment God mommy you want me to oh you want me to put the ointment on you you want put the ointment on you coz she saw me doing things so she forgot I need to put the ointment on you so you could play with me that doesn't mean I was anointed by God because the baby when it got the oil and slept it across my forehead I said I thought I'd talk that doesn't mean I was anointed by God it just means that someone has taken oilmen smeared it on you but listen let me ask you this have you been called by God have you been saved by Jesus do you believe in God do you know what God has called you to do that means you know your purpose and your destiny what is his purpose for you right you know that have you been anointed then by God so let me tell you something you have been anointed to do what because when people say oh my god do you just so anointed to do what how do you know that because I spoke well cuz I sang well would that I could but because I sang well in my mind because somebody's saying well cuz they preached a good sermon because they expounded well cuz they took with your emotions does that mean that they are anointed does it cuz think we get sometimes caught up in the hype and we call that the anointing old church was good today the anointing was high was it I did we just dance and shout how do we know it was the anointing if we have been anointed by God to do what when did when are we to do what he has anointed us to do with whom are we to do it for how long are we to do it where are we to do do we ask God these questions or do we just say I'm anointed oh girl you are anointed to teach I just might know how to study good trust me though I am anointed to teach but here's what we must know about the anointing God has anointed you so that you can be equipped for every good work he has anointed you to do the work that he's laid out for you before him Michelle because how else are you gonna do it without the anointing of God he has anointed you to resist evil because how else can we resist the devil without the anointing how do I know we can't resist him because we were in sin and we weren't resisted as a matter of fact we were going full steam ahead in his direction he has anointed you to know the truth of his word and the power that you have because of it he has anointed some to preach the gospel he has anointed some to prophesy he has anointed some to operate in the gifts of the Spirit he has anointed some to bring forth healing if anyone of you is sick let him call for the elders that they would anoint him with oil he has anointed you to pray effectively because we do a lot of praying but it's not effective but that's a whole nother show because a lot of the praying we do is the problem not the promise but if you have been anointed to pray you are praying the thing that you know will work which is the word of the Lord not the worry of man we get caught up in what it looks like what someone else has said but because God has anointed me to do his work he's anointed me to know his truth he's anointed me to speak his truth when I pray he's anointed me to have fellowship with him how else can I enter into his presence how else can I enter to his gates with Thanksgiving how else will I know that in his presence is the fullness of joy if he has not anointed me to be there because without it I couldn't stand that glory so what did he tell Moses there is a place in the cleft of the rock wherein I will hide and which I will hide you and when I passed by you will see my glory because you can't see my face so he has anointed us to have fellowship one with him because He is God our Father and he wants to commune with us and he understands that his glory is so overwhelming that I have to anoint them so that they can withstand my glory but here's what the anointing is not it is not reserved just for certain people it's not reserved for just a super deal it's not reserved just for those with titles man-made or god-given however you got your title it is not reserved only for those with titles or who went to seminary or who got the hoop down packed if you have confessed with your mouth if you have believed in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that God has raised him from the dead my friend not only are you saved but you are anointed you are anointed to do the work that he's called you to don't ever let anybody tell you that the only way you can be anointed is if you have a title the only way you can be anointed if somebody lays hands on you the only way that you can be anointed as if somebody else says oh you are anointed you don't need someone else to tell you what God has already done when he saved you he anointed you it wasn't just the prophets and the priests and the kings who were anointed the sick were anointed so were those charged with crafting items for the tabernacle they were anointed to do that if you've ever read those instructions my god I need you to have this kind of thread I needed to be this long I needed to be this thick I needed to be this kind of goal this kind of bronze this kind of brass God was very specific and only a man anointed by God could have the wisdom to do it specifically like God said so if he's called you to intercession pray you know have to pray like somebody else when I first got Fame I saw these people praying and tearing and I thought my God how did he do that and then I heard somebody annoys it for this I didn't know where the was I said oh they anointed for this I thought that's what you said I had no idea I was saying when I was anointed - I was just afraid see sometimes we allow fear to override the anointing of God in our life because someone has told us that the anointing has to look a specific way it's got the sound the right way you got the dress the right way you got to have a right kind of prostitute you're here just sew and make the right kind of facial movement you know deep here's the other thing the anointing can't be bought you can't buy it you can't earn it you can't do good works like oh god you know I did good works today where's my daily dose of anointing no that's not how God flows it can't be falsely claimed well I take that back it can be falsely claimed but woe unto you who falsely claim it so for those running around who think I am anointed and you and you're leading people astray whoa I'm to you leading God's people astray causing them to believe something that is a counterfeit and what you need to understand that for every true thing God has the enemy will bring forth the counterfeit so God has anointed you with discernment to know the difference between the truth and a lie between a fact and the truth the fact of the matter might be you have a bad doctor's report but the truth of the matter what has God said to you Isaiah said the same thing before Luke said it the Spirit of the Lord God Adonai Elohim is upon me because he has anointed me to announce good news to the poor you don't have to have the title of evangelist to announce the good news to the poor you just got to go make a witness of all man make a disciple as the Bible says right he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted you don't have to be the pastor to heal a broken hearted they might be on your job sitting in the cubicle right next to you you don't have to have a title to proclaim freedom to the captives they're in your family at the family reunion he says to let light to let out into light those bound in dark well if you are saved then you are the light of the world you got the light of Christ in you those around you who are in darkness see your life you are anointed for your light to shine he says to proclaim the year of favor of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God is a year of favor he has anointed you to proclaim the year of favor when was the last time you proclaimed the year favored over your life when was the last time you proclaimed the year of favor over your family's life he said to comfort those who mourn you are anointed to comfort those who mourn you don't have to be on the hospitality committee to comfort those who mourn you are anointed to provide for those who mourn to give them Garland's instead of ashes beauty for Ashes the oil of gladness instead of mourning you are anointed to bring joy to other people you don't have to be on the nurse's boat you don't have to be the Usher you don't have to be on the sick and shut in ministry to do that you are anointed by God coz you're saved coz the light of Christ is in you so on the inside of you a garment of praise instead of a heavy spirit a spirit of evidence if there's the joy of the Lord is your strength you are wearing the garment of praise for those who are walking in heaviness and you know who they are you can feel it and then they kind of slide up next to you real easy and say can you pray for me real quiet-like right he says you have been anointed by God when he saved you when he called you he anointed you we just need to say God what's your purpose for me what do you want me to do with this anointing that you've placed in my life and then the fourth verse of this Isaiah 60:1 blesses me he says they will rebuild ancient ruins now this was God talking to Isaiah about Israel and he's prophesied that they're going to come out of the captivity so he says to them they're going to rebuild the ancient ruins restore sites long destroy they will renew the ruined cities destroyed many generations ago so let me ask you something what can we do for God without the anointing what can we do for God without the anointing he says they're going to rebuild which means if something needs to be rebuilt it was torn down so God has given us the ability and anointed us to be builders he's given us the ability to be builders he said I've given you the power to make wealth he's given you the ability and the anointing to build a business he's given you the ability and the ministry and the anointing to build a family to build a ministry to build character in your children he's given you the ability to build camaraderie on your job he's called you to be a builder anything anywhere around you that's torn down you can rebuild it because you have been anointed to do it but he says John says you have received an anointing you have been anointed I said what God with what he said the anointing you received get this is Holy Spirit the anointing you received is the Holy Spirit know you not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit he lives on the inside of you so the anointing of God is Holy Spirit who is in you so you have been anointed with the Spirit of God what is it that you can't do with the Spirit of God dwelling on the inside of you and I know you some of you are watching and you may be saying what is that gray-haired lady talking about it means that you are anointed for the cause of Christ to do the work of the Lord that the power of the Spirit of God who lives in you it means that you have been enabled you have been trusted you have been empowered to accomplish God's will that's what it means you've been anointed to do what God called you to do that's what it means whatever it is he's called you to do and you're something to do might not be like my something to do cuz he gave you the temperament to do what he called you to do I am NOT the Usher and the greeter at church that's not my that I wasn't anointed for that just have a seat it's empty sit right there just sit right there you know I would know just sit right there yet but there are those who got that nice spirit that's what they're going to do but we've all been anointed but some of the things that we mentioned early need to be repeated you've been anointed to discern the truth to discern the truth from a lie to know the truth that way you don't fall prey to false teachers and false prophecies and false preachers and all the foolery that we see going on in the earth that way nobody can tell you that they are Jesus in the flesh I'm like wait a minute I thought he died and he rose when did you become him you have been anointed to testify of the truth that you know the truth of the word that you know this one who came by water and blood Jesus Christ you have been anointed to testify of him of his goodness of his glory of his power to redeem and his power to save you've been anointed for that you've been anointed to be able to pray to pray death and life were and the power of the tongue and they who love it will eat of its fruit you've been anointed to pray to lift up the sword of the Spirit which is the word of the Lord you have been anointed to pray in the spirit on all occasions with all the times men are always to pray always to pray you've been anointed to live a righteous life so you can't say that I can't not live and say yes you can coz living in sin is a choice when I was in sin I chose it and it was good to me for a while until I decided there had to be something better yeah so you've been anoint it to live righteous in order that the righteous requirements might be fully met right we have been anointed to be strengthened and I in a man with the power of the Holy Spirit who is in us what does he do he leads us he guides us he reminds us of all things he teaches us and when necessary he rebukes us you've been anointed to follow God to be led by God to not to be controlled by a sinful nature and a sinful spirit you have been anointed to be led by God because we can't allow him to lead us without him because otherwise we would go astray because it's easy because we have an enemy roaring the earth roaming earth seeking whom he may devour but you can make yourself under varible when you recognize that the anointing of God the Spirit of the Lord is in you and so you don't have to fall prey if you obey the Lord submit to him resist the devil he will flee that's what it says it didn't tell you to climb the rough side of the mountain it didn't tell you to spy on his head and turn around four times it's there resist him and he will flee you have been anointed for that you have been anointed and I need you to understand that to live in joy you don't have to live in turmoil you can have peace the joy of the Lord is your strength he'll keep you with perfect peace if you keep your mind stayed on em yeah the peace of the Lord comes in its abundance the Shalom of God you've been anointed to live in the Shalom of God the very peacefulness of God yeah you've been anointed to have hope to have hope to live in hope you don't have to always live in fear and worry and doubt and trying to figure it out is it going to God are you where I don't understand no my hope is built on Jesus you have been anointed to do that to live with the hope that the God that you serve cannot you and so what I need you to understand it is the anointing that destroys the yokes not our talent not our gifts not a coal not our title the anointing of God will destroy the yokes in your life you've been anointed but the anointing will open up your mind the spirit of the world will teach you he will guide you he won't leave you because when he saved you he anointed you so there's a yoke in your life the anointing destroys it if there's a chain in your life the anointing will shatter it you need to understand it is the anointing of God that destroys every yoke of bondage in your life [Music] [Music] [Music] you
