The Anointing Connector
FOUNDATION
STATEMENT: It is a lifestyle of love and faith that will lead us to a
life that is far from oppression.
It’s when we violate that lifestyle of love and faith that the anointing
stops working and the oppression begins. – Galatians 5:6
I.
If victory is ever going
to manifest in your life, the anointing of God is a must
A. The anointing of God is
the power of God
1.
The
anointing of God is the power of God that will remove the burdens and destroy
the yokes (Isaiah 10:27)
2.
The
anointing of God is God rubbing His “super” on your “natural” making you
supernatural
a. You are not natural
having a spiritual experience, you are spirit having a natural experience
3.
The
anointing is an enabler
a. The anointing is what’s
necessary for you to live free from oppression
b. Natural ability is not
enough to live the kind of life that God wants you to live
B. The anointing is what
keeps you from being overpowered and oppressed by the devil. (Acts 10:38)
1.
Without
the anointing operating in your life you will be oppressed
a. When the anointing is
present oppression can’t stay
2.
Jesus
carried the anointing and consequently everywhere he went oppression left
a. Matthew 14 – When
the anointing showed up to oppression of lack left
b. Mark 5 – Oppression
for twelve years, but when the anointing showed up the oppression left
c. Mark 5 – When the
anointing showed up the oppression of sickness and death left
C. Satan is the anti
anointing (1 John 4:3)
1.
Christ
– Anointed One, Messiah, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Word Messiah
which means anointed one, refers to pouring or smearing sacred oil on a person
in a ceremony of dedication, symbolizing divine empowering to accomplish the
task
a. Christ is the English term for the Greek (khristos)
meaning "the anointed.” Khristos
was used to translate the Hebrew (Mašíaḥ,) (messiah), meaning "[one who is] anointed." Khristos in classical Greek usage
could mean covered in oil, and is thus a literal translation of messiah.
b. Christen > To baptize
> To submerge
c. The anointing removes the
burden and destroys the yoke
2.
He
is against the anointing
a. He has to stop that
anointing because where the anointing is working, he can’t oppress
b. He can’t come into a
place where the anointing is working and just overpower it
1)
He
main focus to disrupt the process that activates the anointing and to stop the
operation of so that he can come in and oppress
D. What’s the process that
activates the anointing? (Galatians 5:6)
1.
When
we are living a lifestyle standing uncompromisingly on the commandment of love
and uncompromisingly on the Word of God, that’s when we’ll operate in the
anointing of God
a. The power is in a
lifestyle of love and faith
2.
His
main focus is to come in disrupt this lifestyle of love and faith
II. Faith is the connector to the anointing of God or the power
of God.
A. You escape corruption and
become a partaker of his divine nature through these precious promises (2 Peter
1:3-4)
1.
The
power of God will produce nothing missing and nothing broken in your life
B. The power/anointing is
only available to the people who believe (Romans 1:16, Ephesians 1:19, John
20:29)
1.
The
power of God/the anointing of God is accessed by faith
2.
EXAMPLE:
The power company is the source of your power. The power that it provides can light
your house, heat your house, turn your TV on, and it
can do much more. That power called
electricity is capable of doing all these things. But if your house isn’t connected to the
power company through power lines you have no access to that power. Now the power company has the ability to
do all those things for you through electricity, but without a connection you
can’t benefit from any of those things.
3.
Faith
is the power line through which the anointing (electricity) can flow and hit
your life. The power on the Word of
God travels through faith to your life and will manifest change where nothing
his missing and nothing is broken.
C. People who lack faith
will never access the anointing of God
1.
Matthew
13:53-58 – Jesus was the anointing, but he had no channel of faith to
flow through because of their unbelief
2.
Mark
5 – The woman with the issue of blood connected to the power by
faith. The anointing of God flowed
through her faith an hit her physical body – Virtue left me
D. Faith is talking, living,
thinking, and acting like the Word of God is true, and so in spite of
circumstances and situations that may be saying otherwise
1.
Is
this true? 1 Peter 2:24, 2
Corinthians 8:9, Romans 6:22, Romans 8:37
III. Love’s function is to empower faith so that faith can then
function to connect to the anointing, and the anointing will remove the burden,
destroy the yoke, and produce victory in your life
A. Love empowers faith and
causes it to work (Galatians 5:6)
1.
If
love is absent then faith can’t work
a. Matthew 22:36-40 –
If you live your life in constant violation of the commandment of love faith
can’t work, you can’t connect to the anointing and you’ll be stuck where you
are at your whole life
2.
Love
purifies your faith and gets rid of all the things that try to contaminate it
a. Fear tolerated or
violation of this commandment tolerated is faith contaminated
b. When your faith is
contaminated it becomes diluted and loses it’s strength and it cannot connect
to the anointing
B. The power for the
believer and available to the believer can be found and connected to when faith
is working by love
IV. Satan’s whole purpose is to disrupt this lifestyle of love
and faith, get you into fear so that he can stop the flow of the anointing in
your life and oppress you
A. The lifestyle of love and
faith is one that is far from oppression
1.
John
17:14-18
2.
Isaiah
54:14 – Fear then becomes the access card that grants Satan access into
your life to oppress you
a. Fear works to stop the
anointing
b. FAR from oppression
c. No weapon formed against
you prospers
3.
Psalm
91
a. 1-Dwelling in the Love of
God-1 John 4:16
b. 2-I will say and in him I
will trust-Faith
c. 3-4-Surely he will, He
will-Faith
1)
There’s
no tormented worry and care in this
d. 5-You shall not fear-Love
e. 7-It will not come NEAR
me-Faith
f. 10-There in the secret
place of the most high where I’m trusting – In a lifestyle of love and
faith
1)
No
evil and No plague will come NEAR me-Faith
g. 14-He set his love on
me-On purpose
h. 15-New Testament-I am
delivered, He is with me
B. James 3:14 – Every
evil work can be where strife is because where strife is the lifestyle of love
and faith has been disrupted and there is no anointing
1.
Every
temptation is to get you out of the lifestyle of love and faith because Satan
knows that’s where your anointing is
C. Love and faith is the
zone called victory all of the time (1 John 5:18)
V. A lifestyle of Love and Faith accessing the anointing
(Matthew 14:24)
A. You got to have the Word
(Romans 1:16)
B. You got to connect to
that power by faith (Hebrews 4:2)
C. You got to walk in love
1.
I
know Peter was walking in love at first, because his faith worked to connect
him to the anointing and he was getting results, walking on that water
a. A step into fear is a
step out of love a step out of love is a step into failing faith (1 John 4:18)
2.
When
Peter violated the commandment of love and got over into fear, is faith stopped
working, he was no longer connected to the anointing and he failed (Matthew
14:24)
a. He violated the
commandment of love by:
1)
He
didn’t guard his heart
2)
He
was attending to the problem
3)
He
chose to look at the wrong thing
D. Jairus was in the same
predicament (Luke 8:50)
1.
This
is an impossible situation in the natural that is going to require the
anointing to be accomplished
2.
Jesus
is the anointed one who is carrying the anointing
a. He reveals to Jairus the
protocol necessary for the anointing to function to accomplish the task at hand
b. The anointing can only
operate on the platform called faith working by love
