How to release God's anointing

To release the power of God's anointing in your life you must first understand what God's anointing is and how it operates.

1. "But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him" (I John 2:27).

2. "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (I John 2:20).

3. "Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut" (Isaiah 45:1).

4. "And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless?" (I Samuel 26:9).

5. "He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, He reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm" (Psalms 105:14-15).

6. "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage" (Galatians 5:1).

*Note*: Christ means "the anointed One." Christians must then be "anointed ones."

If we as Christians want to experience the anointing of God that is inside of each and every one of us, then we must come to God in faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). "But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

The most frequently written about way to increase our faith, in the Bible, is by reading and meditating on the word of God. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (I John 5:4).

Jesus gives and excellent example of what faith and our authority can do in Luke 17:6-10. "And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."

Conclusion: We as Christians carry an awesome power within us. We need to release it by our faith in the word of God. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). "Is not My word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"(Jeremiah 23:29).

Also, remember what Jesus said, "If ye shall ask any thing in My Name, I will do it" (John 14:14). And, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly"(Psalms 84:11).
