Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
1 John 2:27, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
Being compatible with the Lord’s voice is described by the apostle John as being taught by the anointing.
The word anointing is the verbal form of the noun, the anointed One.
Anointing in Greek is chrisma and simply refers to the movement and action of the anointed One, Christ (Christos).
John says, “The same anointing teaches you.”
This means that the movement and action of the Lord within us has the ability to communicate to us and teach us.
Thus, the way we hear the Lord’s voice is by the anointing.
This kind of speaking does not come in the form of plain words written on a page.
Rather, it is an inner movement of the anointed One within us.
The anointing abides in us.
This anointing should not be thought of as an extraordinary gift that a few spiritual people possess.
The anointing is simply the movement and inner activity of Christ Himself in all His redeemed and regenerated children.
In our daily experience the anointing teaches us by giving us an inner knowing.
This teaching is by the life-movement and consciousness within us.
It is a different kind of teaching from the Old Testament law of letters written on tablets of stone.
The anointing is a kind of teaching that comes out of our fellowship with the Lord and our inner sensitivity to Him.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
