The Promise: The Anointing
Tuesday, February 25, 2025
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
— 1 Corinthians 3:9
The Father gave mankind a promise. He promised the day would come when the anointing would be made available to man, and this anointing would break yokes and destroy burdens. This promise could only be fulfilled after Jesus suffered, died, and rose, so that the new birth and the new creation could accommodate it. Not only would the Christ come to live in man, but the Spirit would be sent upon man. The Spirit was not sent alongside of man to work for him and apart from him, but upon him to work with him and co-labor with him. God arrives on the scene--in Him you arrive on the scene. You are the vehicle of God. He lays hands when you lay hands, He speaks His Word of power when you speak His Word of power. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you!
The Promise: His Power
Monday, February 24, 2025
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
— Luke 24:49
God desires for you to be endued with power. This is not natural power nor brain power, but God-power. You have been endued, infused, and clothed with the ability of God to do the works of God. You have become an extension of Jesus' life in the earth. How limitless is the power of God in your life and how important to be aware of it and put it into action! You may see yourself as unqualified and unable, but look at the ability you have been given, and not your own ability. You have been endued with the power of God--and all things are possible with God!
The Promise: The Holy Ghost In and Upon You
Friday, February 21, 2025
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…— Acts 1:8a
What a privilege to be endued with power! What kind of life would we have without the supernatural power to live above the Curse and circumstances? You no longer have to bow to sickness, lack, worry, and fear--you have been endued with power. Why continue to live an ordinary life? Why live like you are power-less and help-less? No, I say! You have been empowered to be a witness for God, to be a proof-provider that Jesus is alive! Supernatural signs and wonders await you if you will only put your trust in the promise of the Holy Ghost Who has come upon you. Don't think of yourself as ordinary any longer. Stop seeing yourself with only natural ability and start to meditate on the power that has been infused into your life. Tarry no longer--go with the power and ability of God at work in and through your life!
Stone-throwing: Be the New Person 24/7
Thursday, February 20, 2025
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. -- John 8:3, 4
This woman was caught in the very act of adultery. Some Christians do not believe in sin unless they get caught in the act, so they tolerate and allow little hidden sin to remain in their lives. But sin is sin whether you are with others or all by yourself. “Anger fits” while driving, watching unsuitable TV shows, a simple curse word here and there seem to be okay as long as no one is around. As a pastor I have found that many people talk and act differently around me than when they are with others or with family. You are a new creation when in church, around your pastor, or by yourself. What you allow in your life will be in your life. Don't wait to get caught in the act; take authority over all ungodliness now.
Stone-throwing: The Performance Trap
Wednesday, February 19, 2025
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery…they...set her in the midst… -- John 8:3
The scribes and Pharisees were continually seeking out those who did not live up to their religious expectations. They were professional "accusers" of others while being professional "excusers" of their own sin and faults. Your relationship with God does not depend on whether you catch others in sin and faults, but on whether you will allow the Holy Spirit to clean up your own act. God is a personal God, and He wants an intimate relationship with you. Do not fall into the trap of putting your eyes on the performance of others around you, or even on your own performance, but allow the Holy Spirit to make Jesus' performance for you real in your daily life.
