Amen. 2 Types of Anointing • Personal Anointing Ephesians 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of gift • Corporate Anointing Ephesians 4:13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the statue of the fullness of Christ The Ingredients of the Anointing Psalms 89:20 I have found my servant David; with My holy oil, I have anointed him, with whom my hand shall be established; Also, my arm shall strengthen him. specific instructions on how to prepare the oil of the anointing: Exodus 30:23-25 then the Lord said to Moses, collect choice spices—121/2 pounds of pure Myrrh, 61/4 pounds of fragrant cinnamon, 61/4 pounds of fragrant calamus, and 121/2 pounds of cassia—as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. Also get one gallon of olive oil. Like a skilled incense maker, blend these ingredients to make a holy anointing oil. 1. Myrrh Philippians 3:8, 10 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ; that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of this sufferings, being conformed to his death 2. Cinnamon Ephesians 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting 3. Cane Hebrews 13:7 Remember those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would unprofitable for you. 4. Cassia 1 Samuel 16:23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would play it with his hand. Then Saul would be refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him. 5. Olive Oil The anointing has 2 important characteristics: 1. it was a tangible substance that could be applied with a cloth or by pouring from a pot. 2. it was transferable from one person to another. Acts 19:11-12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and evil spirits went out of them. Consequence of rejecting an Anointing The main enemy of the anointing is familiarity. • Familiarity cause us to take the man of God lightly or disrespect or can no longer receive from the anointing. How can we take the anointing lightly? • Your mind wanders in church • You don’t take notes now • Hear a message but never intend to obey it • Give priority to lesser things • Busy doing others things and not desirous to receive • Speaks badly about the man of God The moment someone speaks badly about the anointing on a person, he schedules the funeral for his own anointing. • The person who betrays a prophetic mantle will never flow in that prophetic mantle.
