Greetings! I am writing to complete the August article and not leave anyone hanging. If you have not read Part 1, please go to our web site and read it. As I shared of my discomfort concerning the glory of God, I would also like to express my concern on the anointing. I believe there is too much confusion in this area, and absolutely too much division when it comes to the anointing.
Once again we have dissected God into many manifestations leaving too many believers ignorant, discouraged, and absolutely powerless. We as the five-fold ministry have created insecurity and unnatural dependence in the body of Christ. Again I believe our looking at Old Testament anointing and trying to impose it on New Testament believers, leaves it like it is for only a select few in the body of Christ.
We have not understood that the Spirit of God, presence of God, power of God, glory of God, and anointing of God are all found in the believer and of the Spirit of God. While I believe that salvation and the Holy Spirit baptism are two distinct works of grace, I do believe the fullness of the Spirit in a believer provides “all” the necessary manifestations of God for that believer.
Let’s examine together what the Scripture says. You shall receive power,  Acts 1:8.
When? At the baptism of the Spirit. We also receive the fire of God at this baptism according to John the Baptist in Luke 3:16. What about the anointing? When and how does it come in the New Testament church? Acts. 10:38 declares God anoints with the Holy Ghost and power. Jesus declared the Spirit of the Lord upon Him also anointed Him, Luke 4:18. The anointing is not for five-fold ministers only. Preaching is the work of every believer. The anointing is released as we “do” the work of the ministry. Gifts and callings may vary but the anointing of God is resident in each Spirit-filled believer. So is the power of God and the glory of God.
Now, while we may differ on its evidence, we cannot differ on the act of Spirit baptism being different than salvation. In Acts 2:1-4 they did not settle for just salvation and water baptism following Jesus breathing His Spirit unto them in John’s Gospel, Acts 8 Philip’s revival, and Acts 19 with the 12 elders of the Ephesian church.
With this baptism of the Spirit, we must realize God and all His fullness indwells us, Ephesians 3:19. Now please follow me through the Word.
Ephesians 3:20, God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ask or think according to the power which worketh in you. Colossians 1:27, Christ in you the hope of glory. 1 John 4:4, Greater is He that is in you. 2 Timothy1:7, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power. 2 Timothy 1:6, Stir up the gift in you! 1 John 2:20 and 27, The anointing abides in you! 2 Corinthians 4:7, We have this treasure in our earthen vessels, in you.

We must stop the suspense and raise up the body of Christ. They do not have to run here and there looking for the anointing. We do not have to sing it down or pray it up. God only desires that we let Him out. Let His Spirit live through us. Our body, but His life.
Zoe: the God-kind of life; eternal life! We need to study, meditate and confess we are anointed. I am anointed. You are anointed with the fire of God, power of God, glory of God. You are the habitation, dwelling place, of God’s presence. Stir it up and let it out. There is a dark, sin lost world in need of God’s love, power and anointing, to set them free and show them the God we know.
Think about it. But not too long! Walk in your anointing!
