Maintaining Your Anointing Through God's Power

WEBVTT

00:00:00.381 --> 00:00:04.772
In the previous full episode we talked about Gideon and being an instrument of God.

00:00:04.772 --> 00:00:08.830
I want to expand on that a little bit today for the bonus episode.

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:11.185
I appreciate you tuning in.

00:00:11.185 --> 00:00:12.330
I appreciate you listening.

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:21.594
If you enjoy this, send me an email, rick, at renewedmindsetscom, and let me know I love you.

00:00:23.481 --> 00:00:25.288
You are God's instrument of power.

00:00:25.288 --> 00:00:29.568
God always deposits blessings in vessels.

00:00:29.568 --> 00:00:38.310
The Bible says but we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:41.008
That's 2 Corinthians 4.7.

00:00:41.008 --> 00:00:45.070
God does not invest treasures in things.

00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:47.648
He invests treasures in people.

00:00:47.648 --> 00:01:03.488
The treasure that you seek is not in a car, it's not in a house, it's not your job, it's not your spouse or your children, but it's in the belly of your spirit.

00:01:03.488 --> 00:01:08.932
You are the carrier of every investment that God put inside you.

00:01:08.932 --> 00:01:10.344
It's all in you.

00:01:10.344 --> 00:01:13.486
Why does God not put it in a frame?

00:01:13.486 --> 00:01:20.513
Because things are temporary, but people are eternal and that's powerful.

00:01:20.513 --> 00:01:30.950
Even when you leave this earth, you continue to carry the consciousness of a blessing, the embodiment of the investment that God has put inside you.

00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:37.221
You know a lot of people care more about things than they care about the capacity of their own spirit.

00:01:37.221 --> 00:01:40.082
You are the Lord's investment.

00:01:40.082 --> 00:01:44.828
You have to see yourself as the biggest investment of your own life.

00:01:44.828 --> 00:01:56.123
If you lost your car, if the internal factors of your spirit that produced the car were still intact, you'll get another car.

00:01:56.123 --> 00:02:09.645
If the Lord sent you to a city to plant a ministry and then God moved you to another city to plant another ministry, if the anointing is still there, you'll produce the same result or better.

00:02:11.187 --> 00:02:22.566
In Psalm 51, when David was in some situation, he was not protecting his throne, he was protecting everything around him, but he was asking God to preserve his anointing.

00:02:22.566 --> 00:02:28.587
He said cast me not away from your presence, do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

00:02:28.587 --> 00:02:33.592
He knew if he lost God's anointing he'd lose everything.

00:02:33.592 --> 00:02:44.347
This is a very powerful truth and your priority needs to change for whatever season you're in or whatever season you're moving into.

00:02:44.347 --> 00:02:47.929
Do not take the things of God lightly.

00:02:47.929 --> 00:02:50.448
Your priority needs to change.

00:02:50.448 --> 00:02:53.489
The inner workings of your spirit is major.

00:02:53.489 --> 00:02:56.604
Having your joy is major.

00:02:56.604 --> 00:02:59.712
Having your anointing is major.

00:02:59.712 --> 00:03:06.639
Having your peace with God, walking with God in righteousness, that's major.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:12.576
Being a holy, consecrated vessel into God, that's major.

00:03:12.576 --> 00:03:18.157
You need to major in the major and minor in the minor.

00:03:18.157 --> 00:03:23.597
As long as your major stays major, you'll always be in a major place in life.

00:03:25.164 --> 00:03:34.157
Now, when we're talking about the manifestation of the blessing of God on a person's life, it doesn't just start on the outside, it begins from the inside.

00:03:34.157 --> 00:03:42.395
The moment your anointing increases, the impact of that anointing also increases, and that's how it works for God.

00:03:42.395 --> 00:03:47.533
So when God says I will promote you, that promotion doesn't start from the outside.

00:03:47.533 --> 00:03:49.786
With God, it begins from the inside.

00:03:49.786 --> 00:03:56.389
The moment the capacity of your spirit increases, everything around you begins to experience a transformation.

00:03:56.389 --> 00:04:02.000
Proverbs 4.18 says the path of the righteous is like a shining light.

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.544
Proverbs 4.18 says the path of the righteous is like a shining light.

00:04:04.544 --> 00:04:12.127
It shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day when God lays his hand upon you.

00:04:12.127 --> 00:04:16.478
Everything about you, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, become an instrument in God's hands for a miracle.

00:04:16.478 --> 00:04:27.019
So everything about you has been reconfigured, rewired, reorganized to become an extension of who God is in the earthly realm.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:34.915
Jeremiah 51.20 says Now that's an instrument.

00:04:36.466 --> 00:04:41.273
Consider how David began to highlight how God turned him into an instrument of power for his glory.

00:04:41.273 --> 00:04:42.574
He said God.

00:04:42.574 --> 00:04:45.620
David began to highlight how God turned him into an instrument of power for his glory.

00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:50.247
He said Make my feet like hinds feet and set upon me high places Psalm 1833.

00:04:50.247 --> 00:04:54.997
Your feet are not just ordinary feet, but your feet have become a weapon.

00:04:54.997 --> 00:04:58.733
They represent acceleration and speed.

00:04:58.733 --> 00:05:05.906
David also said he teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my hands.

00:05:05.906 --> 00:05:11.096
Your hands are not ordinary hands.

00:05:11.096 --> 00:05:17.509
Your arms and your hands have become an instrument and the hand of God.

00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:20.817
God will use your hands to bend a bow of steel.

00:05:20.817 --> 00:05:25.024
God, god will use your hands to bend a bow of steel.

00:05:25.024 --> 00:05:28.889
That's why, when you lift up your hands in praise, it's a weapon of power.

00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:33.098
God told Moses to lift up his hands against the Red Sea with the rod of the Lord in his hand.

00:05:33.098 --> 00:05:41.807
And you know what happened the Red Sea parted and this is why the enemy is targeting you people.

00:05:41.827 --> 00:05:51.954
Some of you don't understand that every attack that the devil is sending against you is not about your job, it's not about your car, it's not about your house or your wife or your kids.

00:05:51.954 --> 00:05:53.971
It's not about the haters.

00:05:53.971 --> 00:06:01.432
It's about you, taking you out, because the devil knows that you are the embodiment of the instrument and a weapon of God.

00:06:01.432 --> 00:06:04.994
Your tongue is an instrument and a weapon.

00:06:04.994 --> 00:06:11.737
The Bible says the Lord has given me the tongue of the learned that I may know to speak a word in season.

00:06:11.737 --> 00:06:14.192
Isaiah 50-4.

00:06:14.192 --> 00:06:17.153
God is sharpening your tongue.

00:06:17.153 --> 00:06:23.230
Your eyes are an instrument and a weapon Isaiah 57,.

00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:40.069
Your ears are God's instrument and weapon.

00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:43.879
He shall hear a voice behind you saying this is the way.

00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.480
Walk in it.

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.115
Isaiah 30, 21.

00:06:46.115 --> 00:06:50.160
Your ears are a weapon for divine direction.

00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:56.382
Everything about a child of God, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, is a weapon.

00:06:56.382 --> 00:07:06.059
You're empowered to win, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, and that's why God has made your life a mystery to the enemy.

00:07:06.059 --> 00:07:17.002
They can't understand you because they thought if they took your car, they thought if they took your job, they thought if you took your family, that they would take your power.

00:07:17.002 --> 00:07:22.341
But then they see that your power is not in your car or your job or your house.

00:07:22.341 --> 00:07:28.954
Some trust in horses and some trust in chariots Psalm 27.

00:07:28.954 --> 00:07:35.598
The horses and the chariot are the place of power and defense, but we remember the name of the Lord, our God.

00:07:35.598 --> 00:07:42.057
We are empowered from within and that's why we can't be defeated.

00:07:42.057 --> 00:07:45.158
We're configured to prosper everywhere we go.

00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:57.502
Take a child of God who is cultivated to the desert, and they'll turn that desert into the Garden of Eden, because the power that produces prosperity is inside their spirit.

00:07:57.502 --> 00:08:00.639
That's what the devil hates.

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.240
That's why he can't shut you down unless you let him.

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:12.060
If I come into any environment, I come with a full measure of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit of God.

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:23.016
I command today that the expression of that anointing, I command the expression of the full capacity of the Spirit and the glory and the power of God that's in you.

00:08:23.016 --> 00:08:35.471
Your mind is God's instrument and a weapon of righteousness, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, the spirit of love and a sound mind.

00:08:35.471 --> 00:08:36.994
2 Timothy 1.7.

00:08:36.994 --> 00:08:42.323
Every weapon of God, every resource of God that is in your spirit.

00:08:42.323 --> 00:08:49.062
I command them to come alive now, receive activation in the name of Jesus.

00:08:49.062 --> 00:08:52.735
All of God's children are an investment of God.

00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:56.984
Now, some of you, your appointments become stale.

00:08:56.984 --> 00:08:58.732
It's not moving anymore.

00:08:58.732 --> 00:09:02.722
The Bible says some people have eyes but they don't see.

00:09:02.722 --> 00:09:05.461
There's a generation out there now who have eyes but they don't see.

00:09:05.461 --> 00:09:07.312
There's a generation out there now who have eyes but they don't see.

00:09:07.312 --> 00:09:09.297
They have ears but they don't hear.

00:09:09.297 --> 00:09:11.322
They have mouths but they're not speaking.

00:09:11.322 --> 00:09:14.717
Or, when they speak, their words have no power.

00:09:14.717 --> 00:09:19.091
There's a generation that have feet but they're not running.

00:09:19.091 --> 00:09:29.934
There's a generation where they have hands but their hands have become crippled and their feet have become paralyzed and they don't understand.

00:09:29.934 --> 00:09:32.741
The investment of God is in their spirit.

00:09:34.571 --> 00:09:43.755
Any of you listening today who's lost your cutting edge to sin or lost your cutting edge to the devil, god can redeem you.

00:09:43.755 --> 00:09:48.701
There is nothing as exciting as when a believer has their cutting edge.

00:09:48.701 --> 00:09:57.832
Everything about you is lit and burning and activated and supersonic and fully charged up and intensified.

00:09:57.832 --> 00:10:09.433
The Bible says we need to be fervent in the Spirit, not slothful in business in the Spirit, not slothful in business, fervent in the Spirit serving the Lord Romans 12.11.

00:10:09.433 --> 00:10:18.162
The cutting-edge anointing is always awake and dynamic, and today you can be set ablaze in your inner man in the name of Jesus.

00:10:18.162 --> 00:10:21.539
Everything about your spirit can be activated.

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:24.639
You won't miss one more opportunity.

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:33.692
You will not for one day walk slowly anymore, you won't crawl anymore, you won't drag yourself anymore.

00:10:33.692 --> 00:10:41.073
Everything is accelerated, everything is on point, everything is on fire in the name of Jesus.

00:10:42.025 --> 00:10:43.908
If you are not in the God realm.

00:10:43.908 --> 00:10:56.416
If you are not in a Holy Spirit-filled church that preaches the full gospel of Jesus Christ, then you can't see what God is revealing in the spirit realm.

00:10:56.416 --> 00:11:00.130
You could be in the room and not be in that realm.

00:11:00.130 --> 00:11:04.807
The Bible says it's the spirit that quickeneth the flesh.

00:11:04.807 --> 00:11:07.793
Profit nothing the words that I speak unto you.

00:11:07.793 --> 00:11:09.677
They are a spirit and they are life.

00:11:09.677 --> 00:11:11.687
John 6.63.

00:11:12.649 --> 00:11:18.840
Get plugged into a realm of the spirit in a God-fearing, holy Spirit-filled church.

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.895
Don't accidentally find yourself in the God realm that you consciously enter.

00:11:23.895 --> 00:11:28.995
The Bible says I will enter his gates with thanksgiving and I will enter his court with praise.

00:11:28.995 --> 00:11:30.619
Psalm 104.

00:11:30.619 --> 00:11:38.337
The Bible says pray always, building up your most holy faith, praying always in the Holy Ghost.

00:11:38.337 --> 00:11:39.701
Jude 1.20.

00:11:39.701 --> 00:11:48.335
You have got to stay in touch by activating your spirit throughout the day, especially when you're speaking in the prayer language.

00:11:48.335 --> 00:11:52.975
Supernatural transactions take place when you constantly pray.

00:11:52.975 --> 00:11:57.595
The Bible said For men ought to pray and not faint Luke 18.1.

00:11:57.595 --> 00:12:02.677
So when you're constantly praying, god builds up the full capacity of your spirit.

00:12:02.677 --> 00:12:12.092
Your vision is sharp, your hands are enabled, your feet are light, it's like it's faster, everything is faster and your mouth is sharp.

00:12:12.092 --> 00:12:14.730
When you speak, it has impact on the godly realm.

00:12:14.730 --> 00:12:17.317
Be God's instrument.

00:12:17.317 --> 00:12:19.975
That's what he's called you to do.
