Revelation of the Word:

THEME: ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1 John 2:18-29 NIV

 ^“Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us—eternal life. I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.”

INSIGHT

-According to the scriptures, the antichrist is someone who denies the Father and the Son. The antichrist denies Jesus as the Christ thus denies both the Father and the Son. This one therefore turned from and denied the faith. On the other hand, the one who accepts and remains in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and receives eternal life. Since we have been born of the Spirit, we have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit Who is designed to do His work in us and through us. The work of the anointing is to illuminate God’s messaging in the believer’s life. The anointing enables the transfer of data from heaven into our lives into history, the present and the future. The Holy Spirit communicates to us through our human spirit. The anointing is perfect and enters our spirit to cleanse our infected souls by sin and it begins to heal and disinfect us, and transformation takes place through the mind of Christ. We are called to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth through the anointing. We are also called to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). 

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus we thank You for loving us and for anointing us with Your Holy Spirit. We thank You for this far that You have brought us and the far that You are taking us. We thank You for providing for us, protecting us, sustaining us, guiding us and giving us peace that surpasses all human understanding. May You preserve us from all evil and from the deception of the antichrist. May Your revival come to deliver all those who are lost into drugs and alcohol, LGBTQ, adultery, idolatry, corruption and other issues. May You deliver all those who have lost hope and depressed. May You guide us Holy Spirit into all truth. May You fill us afresh Holy Spirit. We thank You Lord Jesus and honor You. It is in Jesus mighty name we pray believing and trusting. Amen
