My dear child of God,
By the grace of God I am writing about the filling and works of the Holy Spirit in this section, ‘Receive the Anointing’. Glory be to God!
In the Bible we clearly see about the works of the Holy Spirit in the birth of Christ. Read on with prayer. Commit yourself totally to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. You need anointing for Christ to be formed in you.
‘Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God’ (Luke 1:34,35).
The above mentioned words were uttered by the Angel to Mary. Dearly beloved, the Lord Jesus once said, ‘"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me” (John 5:39).
When I meditated on the words spoken by the Angel, the Holy Spirit revealed the following to me. When the Angel of heaven said to Mary, ‘"Rejoice, highly favored one! Behold! You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son’, Mary asked, ‘"How can this be? How will Christ be formed in me?”.
Dear child of God, Jesus can be revealed through us only when all those who are saved, manifest the love and nature of Christ in their practical life.
Then souls will be saved through us and be drawn to Christ. This is the purpose that God has for every one of us.
Many believers backslide in this and are unable to involve themselves in soul winning service. The reason being, though they know Christ, they have not given room for Christ to be formed in them. They are caught up in the web of worldly worries, basic problems, sicknesses and so on and lament, ‘What can be done? How can this be?’. Dear child of God, I tell you the words said by the Angel of God to Mary,” The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you”
Dearly beloved, it is not enough to just believe Christ. His anointing should come upon you. Then you shall be strengthened.
"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."(Acts 1:8).
As seen in the above verse, the only way for you and I to show Christ to the world is the Holy Spirit. Dearly beloved, that day Mary totally subjected herself to the Lord and so Christ was manifested in this world. Today, commit yourself completely to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit, so that Christ is manifested through you. Believe the anointing. Let go off yourself to rejoice in the Spirit by speaking in tongues. Don’t control yourself. Then the power of God will flood you, without measure. Then Christ will be manifested. Hallelujah! |
