The Cross of Anointing pt 2

Ep. 155
You are your own worst Pharisee. The message of the cross is this: if you bring your worst, and dare to meet Him in the scary, inward place, He will meet you there with compassion, kindness, and grace. Your anointing is in that place, and Jesus made it safe.Scripture this week:1 Corinthians 1:18-23Matthew 16:24, 11:28John 7:37-39Romans 2:25-29John 4:6-24Luke 11:37-521 John 3:2-3

The Cross of Anointing

Ep. 154
Jesus's ministry is your ministry. His anointing is your anointing. But His cross is NOT your cross. Accepting your own cross is the doorway to anointing... So what IS your cross??Scripture this week:1 Corinthians 1:18-21Matthew 16:21-27Luke 14:25-27, 17:20-21John10:7-10Galatians 5:1-5

The Faith of Anointing

There are levels to this faith thing. Our faith is deepened by hearing, and we hear by the Rhema word of God which speaks to the deepest longing of the human heart. The deepest faith is the absolute assurance of your identity as His beloved.Scripture this week:Romans 10:17Mark 6:30-45Matthew 14:22-36John 10:3-4Luke 9:10-20

The Fire of Anointing

Ep. 151
Our God is a consuming fire. As the people of the ACTUAL presence of God, we play with fire. When we pray for a greater anointing on His church, we should be EXPECTING fire. There are casualties. There are temptations to be distracted by the losses in those hard places, but we shouldn't mourn the effects of the Lord's fire. Scripture this week:Hebrews 12:25-291 Chronicles 24:1-3Numbers 3:1-4Leviticus 9:22-24, 10:1-72 Corinthians 4:7-12

The Need for Glory

Ep. 150
The only way we completely swing open the doors of anointing is to see His glory with such vivid clarity that everything else is irrelevant. We can't witness to people "on the other side" if we make enemies of them.Scripture this week:Galations 6:7-10Exodus 33:12​-23Numbers 6:22​Matthew 5:1-10Luke 18:1-8Acts 9:1-9, 22:6-23:5, 26:1-18

Opportunity to Submit

Ep. 149
We seek a mysterious person, not a mysterious power. His presence is not a comforting, peaceful thing when we are not in submission to Him and His government. In the government of His kingdom, the way we transform into a place that can receive anointing is by choosing submission when He gives us the opportunity.Scripture this week:1 Samuel 15:10​-28Psalm 16:5-12
