FOUNDATION STATEMENT:It is a lifestyle of love and
faith that will lead us to a life that is far from oppression.When we violate that lifestyle of love
and faith the anointing stops working and the oppression begins.
I. If victory is ever going to manifest in your life, the
anointing of God is a must
A. The
anointing of God is the power of God
1. The
anointing of God is the power of God that will remove the burdens and destroy
the yokes (Isaiah 10:27)
2. The
anointing of God is God rubbing His “super” on your “natural” making you
supernatural
3. The
anointing is an enabler
B. The
anointing is what keeps you from being ooppressed by the
devil.(Acts 10:38)
1. Without
the anointing operating in your life you will be oppressed; When the anointing
is present oppression can’t stay
2. Jesus
carried the anointing and consequently everywhere he went oppression left
a. Matthew
14:15 – When the anointing showed up to oppression of lack left
b. Mark
5:25 – When the anointing showed up the
oppression of sickness left
c. Mark
5:38 – When the anointing showed up the oppression of sickness and death left
C. Satan
is the anti anointing (1 John 4:3)
1. Christ
– Anointed One, Messiah, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Word Messiah which
means anointed one, pouring or smearing sacred oil on a person in a ceremony of
dedication, symbolizing divine empowering to accomplish the task
2. Satan
is against the anointing
a. He
has to stop that anointing because where the anointing is working, he can’t
oppress
b. He
can’t come into a place where the anointing is working and just overpower it
b. His
main focus to disrupt the process that activates the anointing so that he can
come in and oppress
D. What’s
the process that activates the anointing? (Galatians 5:6)
1. When
we are living a lifestyle standing uncompromisingly on the commandment of love
and uncompromisingly on the Word of God, that’s when we’ll operate in the
anointing of God
a. The
power is in a lifestyle of love and faith
2. Satan’s
main focus is to come in disrupt this lifestyle of love and faith
II. Faith is the connector to the anointing of God or the
power of God.
A. You
escape corruption and become a partaker of his divine nature through these
precious promises (2 Peter 1:3-4)
1. The
power of God will produce nothing missing and nothing broken in your life
B. The
power/anointing is only available to the people who believe (Romans 1:16,
Ephesians 1:19, John 20:29)
1. The
power of God/the anointing of God is accessed by faith
2. EXAMPLE:
The power company is the source of your power.The power that it provides can light your house, heat your house, turn
your TV on, and it can do much more.That power called electricity is capable of doing all these things.But if your house isn’t connected to the
power company through power lines you have no access to that power.Now the power company has the ability to do
all those things for you through electricity, but without a connection you
can’t benefit from any of those things.
3. Faith
is the power line through which the anointing (electricity) can flow and hit your
life.The power on the Word of God travels
through faith to your life and will manifest nothing missing and nothing broken.
C. People
who lack faith will never access the anointing of God
1. Matthew
13:53-58 – Jesus was the anointing, but he had no channel of faith to flow through
because of their unbelief
2. Mark
5 – The woman with the issue of blood connected to the power by faith.The anointing of God flowed through her faith
an hit her physical body – Virtue left me
D. Faith
is talking, living, thinking, and acting like the Word of God is true, in spite
of circumstances that say otherwise
III. Love’s function is to empower faith so that faith can function to connect to the anointing, and the anointing will remove the burden,
destroy the yoke, and produce victory in your life
A. Love
empowers faith and causes it to work (Galatians 5:6)
1. If
love is absent then faith can’t work
a. If
you live your life in constant violation of the commandment of love faith can’t
work, you can’t connect to the anointing and you’ll be stuck where you are at
your whole life
B. The
power for the believer and available to the believer can be found and connected
to when faith is working by love
IV. Satan’s whole purpose is to disrupt this lifestyle of
love and faith, get you into fear so that he can stop the flow of the anointing
in your life and oppress you
A. The
lifestyle of love and faith is one that is far from oppression (John 17:14)
1. Isaiah
54:14-Fear is the access card that grants Satan access into your
life to oppress you
a. Fear
works to stop the anointing
2. Psalm
91
a. V1,V5,V14-Love
b. V2-V4,V7-Faith
c. 10-There
in the secret place of the most high where I’m trusting – In a lifestyle of
love and faith no evil and no plague will come NEAR me
B. James
3:14 – Where strife is the lifestyle of love and faith has been disrupted and there
is no anointing, and you will find every evil work
1. Every
temptation is to get you out of the lifestyle of love and faith because Satan
knows that’s where your anointing is
C. Love
and faith is the zone called victory all of the time (1 John 5:18)
V. A lifestyle of Love and Faith accessing the anointing
(Matthew 14:24-31)
A. 29-You
got to have the Word (Romans 1:16)
B. 29-You
got to connect to that power by faith (Hebrews 4:2)
C. You
got to walk in love
1. I
know Peter was walking in love at first, because his faith worked to connect
him to the anointing and he was getting results, walking on that water
a. A
step into fear is a step out of love; a step out of love is a step into failing
faith (1 John 4:18)
2. When
Peter violated the commandment of love and got over into fear, his faith
stopped working, he was no longer connected to the anointing and he failed
(Matthew 14:24)
a. He
violated the commandment of love by not guarding his heart, he was attending to
the problem, and he chose to look at the wrong thing
D. Jairus
was an impossible situation that was going to require the anointing (Luke 8:50)
1. Jesus
is the anointed one and he reveals to Jairus the protocol necessary for the
anointing to function
a. Fear
Not, Believe Only – The anointing can only operate on the platform called faith
working by love
