Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart

1 John 2:20, “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 

The anointing is simply the movement of Christ, the anointed One, within us.

The anointing abides in our spirit.

So in our spirit we are living with Jesus, with His nature.

In our spirit we are partakers of the divine nature and we are begotten of God.

Thus, whenever our emotions are not compatible with His life and nature, there is movement in us.

Many times we do not interact with the Lord in that movement, or anointing.

Instead we go to our mind and reason.

We make excuses, we push down the sense coming from God’s life.

We cope with it somehow.

In other words, we handle it ourselves.

Consequently, we may go for years in the same way, having little expression of Christ in our life.

We have received the anointing, and that means Christ is active in us.

He has been active in all of us from the day we received Him.

The anointing is not something special for certain Christians.

It is what every believer has abiding within.

That is why it is hard to really rebel against God.

It is hard to turn away.

It is hard to resist too long.

It is hard to be stiff-necked for a long period of time, because the anointing remains in you.

This movement in us is unhappy whenever we are incompatible with God’s life.

We are sad, we are grieved, we feel empty, and we feel dry.

It is because of something we said, something we did, something we interacted with that was incompatible with Him.

He is just waiting for us to become compatible again.

The secret of the Christian life is simply to remain compatible with the anointing at all times.

Just say “Amen” to His movements.

Until Tomorrow

With A Shepherd’s Love,

Pastor Jackson
