SOAKED - EPISODE 02 - POWER TO SAY
SOAKED
Jesus has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us. However, Christians talk about feeling the presence of God versus not feeling the presence of God. What does this mean? To further extend the idea, Jesus talks about a concept called “the anointing.” The word “anointing” refers to God’s Spirit and means He will “rub on or pour over” us with powerful presence. In this new series SOAKED we will discover practical applications of God’s present anointing, what it is and how to activate it at home, in relationships, for breakthrough and so much more. We will see how there are nine different expressions, or manifestations, that God desires to express in our daily lives. Yet, God wants us to be sober, in knowing we have responsibility to activate; and activation is not about moral or hyper-spiritual standards. Anybody and everybody can access this amazing place with God. You aren’t going to want to miss a Sunday. Invite a friend and come see us!
A relationship that is not experienced is really not a relationship at all! Let's take a dive in the deep end and get soaked.
TODAY’S MESSAGE
1 JOHN 2:20, 27 NKJV But you have an ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things. ... 27 But the ANOINTING which you have received from Him ABIDES IN YOU … and you will ABIDE IN HIM.
Anointing = “rub on or pour over,” or SOAKED!!
ANOINTED WITH WHAT?
LUKE 4:18 NKJV (Jesus said) The SPIRIT OF THE LORD [is] upon Me, because He has ANOINTED Me…
ACTS 10:38 NKJV (Peter said) … how God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and WITH POWER, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
The presence of God – His Spirit –
is rubbed on, poured over and abides in the believer!
JOHN 16:7; 14:16-20 NKJV [Jesus said] …It is to YOUR ADVANTAGE that I go away; for if I do not go away, THE HELPER will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another HELPER (Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby) , that He may ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER-- 17 the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees HIM nor knows HIM; but you know HIM, for HE dwells WITH YOU and will be IN YOU.
ACTS 1:8 NKJV [Jesus said] But YOU shall RECEIVE POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has COME UPON YOU; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
