A NEW ANOINTING 10-31-21  VIDEO ATMOSTHERE CHANGER 2

The church is getting ready to be clothed with the new garment. A garment that will carry with it a new anointing for ministry. A ministry that we have never seen before. We have been a candle of light in the world, but we will now begin to blaze like a forest fire. The anointing breaks the yoke of the enemy. It is the yoke destroying power of God to set the captives free. Every bondage is broken that tries to destroy the power of God.  The anointing sets the captives free. Everyone in the body will be touched by a new anointing. A unity in the spirit. Like the oil that ran down the priest beard was a symbol of God.  It flowed down his collar and touched every part of his body. New anointing, new wine skin, soul and emotions healed. This new anointing requires a new mindset.

Joel 2:25 “I’ll make up for the years of the locust, the great locust devastation —

Locusts savage, locusts deadly, fierce locusts, locusts of doom, That great locust invasion I sent your way.

26 You’ll eat your fill of good food. You’ll be full of praises to your God, The God who has set you back on your heels in wonder. Never again will my people be despised.

27 You’ll know without question that I’m in the thick of life with Israel, That I’m your God, yes, your God, the one and only real God. Never again will my people be despised. 

28 “And that’s just the beginning: After that — “I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters. Your old men will dream, your young men will see visions.

29 I’ll even pour out my Spirit on the servants, men and women both.

30 I’ll set wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below: Blood and fire and billowing smoke,  MSG

ISA 10:27 In that day the Lord will remove the heavy burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage from your necks because of the heavy anointing upon you! TPT

RO 13:14 Instead fully immerse yourselves intothe Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires. TPT

John 13:30-31  Now I am giving you a new command – love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you must love one another. This is how all men will know that you are my disciples, because you have such love for one another.” PHILLIPS

Acts 2:43 Everyone around was in awe — all those wonders and signs done through the apostles!

44 And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common.

45 They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met.

46 They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful,

47 as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.  MSG

 ▼▼▼

ACTS 2:43-47 A deep sense of holy aweswept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.

⁴⁴ All the believers were in fellowship as one body, and they shared with one another whatever they had.

45 Out of generosity they even sold their assets to distribute the proceeds to those who were in need among them.

⁴⁶ Daily they met together in the temple courts and in one another’s homes to celebrate communion. They shared meals together with joyful hearts and tender humility.

47 They were continually filled with praises to God, enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord kept adding to their number daily those who were coming to life. TPT

Acts 5:12 Through the work of the apostles, many God-signs were set up among the people, many wonderful things done. They all met regularly and in remarkable harmony on the Temple porch named after Solomon.

13 But even though people admired them a lot, outsiders were wary about joining them.

14 On the other hand, those who put their trust in the Master were added right and left, men and women both.

15 They even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on stretchers and bedrolls, hoping they would be touched by Peter’s shadow when he walked by.

16 They came from the villages surrounding Jerusalem, throngs of them, bringing the sick and bedeviled. And they all were healed.  MSG

ACTS 5:12 The apostles performed many signs, wonders, and miracles among the people.

¹³ And the believers were wonderfully united as they met regularly in the temple courts in the area known as Solomon’s Porch. No one dared harm them, for everyone held them in high regard.

¹⁴ Continually more and more people believed in the Lordand were added to their number—great crowds of both men and women.

15 In fact, when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them.

¹⁶ Great numbers of people swarmed into Jerusalem from the nearby villages. They brought with them the sick and those troubled by demons—and everyone was healed!  TPT

Ps 133  How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!

2 It’s like costly anointing oil flowing down head and beard, Flowing down Aaron’s beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.

3 It’s like the dew on Mount Hermon flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing, ordains eternal life. MSG

 ▼▼▼

PS 133:1 How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity!
2 It’s as precious as the sacred scented oilflowing from the head of the high priest Aaron,dripping down upon his beard and running all the way downto the hem of his priestly robes.³ This harmony can be compared to the dew  dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore! TPT

PS 45:7 You are passionate for righteousness, and you hate lawlessness. This is why God, your God,crowns you with bliss above your fellow kings. He has anointed you, more than any other, with his oil of fervent joy, the very fragrance of heaven’s gladness. TPT

1 JN 2:27 I am convinced that the effect of his touch within you is permanent; this is the Christ-annointing that teaches you all things, so that you do not need any teacher whose doctrine does not resonate with truth. Deception cannot compete with spirit-resonance.  MIRROR

▼▼▼

1 JN 2:27 But the wonderful anointing you have received from Godis so much greater than their deception and now lives in you. There’s no need for anyone to keep teaching you. His anointing teaches you all that you need to know, for it will lead you into truth, not a counterfeit. So just as the anointing has taught you, remain in him. TPT

LUKE 4:18 He opened the scroll and rolled it out in order to find the specific place where the following was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to announce glad tidings to a starving people; he has commissioned me to announce the freedom of forgiveness to those held captive at spear-point by their guilt and shame; also, the blind may now look up and be restored in their sight! I am anointed to send out those who are bruised and traumatized, into the freedom of their redeemed innocence.   MIRROR

LUKE 4:18  “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hopefor the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, and new eyesfor the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to sharethe message of Jubilee,for the time of God’s great acceptancehas begun.” TPT

LUKE 5:36 Then Jesus proceeded to illustrate the following point, again using powerful parable-analogies, “No-one would tear off a piece of cloth from a new garment in order to patch-up an old worn-out garment! This will not only spoil the new garment but the patch won’t even match the old!  

37 It will be such a waste to pour new wine into old skin bottles – the new wine will burst the old bottles and spill the wine on the ground!

38 New wine is stored and preserved in fresh wine skins. Thus both wine and skin are equally treasured.

39 Yet, you continue to reason that you are so familiar with the old mindsets that you have no appetite for the new!”  MIRROR

▼▼▼

LUKE 5:36 And he gave them this illustration: “No one rips up a new garment to make patches for an old, worn-out one. If you tear up the new to make a patch for the old, it would not match the old garment.

³⁷ And who pours new wine into an old wineskin? If someone did, the old wineskin would burst and the new wine would be lost.

³⁸ New wine must always be poured into new wineskins.

39 Yet you say, ‘The old ways are better,’ and you refuse to even taste the new wine that I bring.”TPT

Rom 8:5 Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them — living and breathing God!

6 Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.

7 Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing.

8 And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.

9 But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about.

10 But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells — even though you still experience all the limitations of sin — you yourself experience life on God’s terms.

11 It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s!  MSG   

 ▼▼▼

ROM 8:5 Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities.

6 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

⁷ In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot!

8 For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.

⁹ But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.

¹⁰ Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.

¹¹ Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you! TPT

1 Peter 1:12 It was revealed to them that this glorious grace message that they were communicating pointed to a specific day and person beyond their own horizon and generation; they saw you in their prophetic view! This heavenly announcement had you in mind all along! They proclaimed glad tidings to you in advance, in the Holy Spirit, commissioned from heaven; the prophetic messengers themselves longed to gaze deeply into its complete fulfillment.

13  How amazing is that! Jesus is what the Scriptures are all about; and you are what Jesus is all about! Now wrap your minds around that! This unveiling is what tied up all the loose ends that would trip you and frustrate your seamless transition from the old to the new! The revelation of Jesus is no longer a future expectation! Do not allow the old mindset of a future tense glory to intoxicate you and distract you from the relevance of this moment! Stop pointing to a future Messiah! Jesus is who the Prophets pointed to! You are the fruit of his sufferings; you are the glorious resurrection generation! Fully engage your minds with the consequence of this grace in the revelation of Jesus Christ! He completes your every expectation!   MIRROR

1 Cor 12:1-11 What I want to talk about now is the various ways God’s Spirit gets worked into our lives. This is complex and often misunderstood, but I want you to be informed and knowledgeable.

1 Corinthians 12:13-27 For in one spirit we are all immersed into one body; Jew and Gentile alike, whether we were slave or free is no longer relevant, we are all saturated in one spirit. We are drinking from the same fountain.

14 The individual member and its function do not define the body; the body gives context to the individual member. Your specific gifting does not define you; Christ defines you!

15 The different members co-compliment each other. The hand is not a more valid member of the body than the foot. How silly it would be for the foot to feel inferior to the hand simply because it does not look the same! They fulfill completely different roles but are equally part of the same body.

16 Should the ear say, “Because I am not the eye I am not part of the same body;” does that mean that the ear is right?

17 If the body was just one huge eye, then everything would be silent; if it was all ears, then how could it smell the fragrance of the flowers!

18 God engineered every individual part of the body according to his deliberate design.(The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both. Prov 20:12.)

19 Our individual significance only finds context in relationship to others!

20 The sum total of the members equals one body.

21 The eye perceives and the hand touches; they do not compete for importance. The head will never make the feet feel inferior! In the body there is no sense of, “I am positioned higher than you and therefore I do not need you!”

22 The members are not rated in importance with how visible and prominent they seem to be. The less visible parts are indispensable; it is impossible for the body to function without them.

23 Those members that seem to be of lesser visible value deserve the greater and more personal care. There is so much more to a person than a pretty face!

24 God so structured the body that every single part is equally valued; the less visible parts are often treated with even greater honor and more specific care.

25 Because of the delicate interdependence of the various parts of the body it is natural that no schism can be tolerated; instead every member considers the other with affectionate care.

26 It is impossible for one part of the body to suffer injury without the rest of the body being immediately alerted to it; the pain of the one is the pain of all. In the same way the complete person is honored, not just the fingers that skillfully play the harp. Everyone is

equally included in the same joy.  

27 You are the body of Christ; individually as much as you are his body corporately. Everyone of you mirrors him. He defines your form. The individual member does not give context to the body; the body gives context to the member.  Mirror

1Corinthians 13:1-2 Speaking in tongues is not the point; 1love is. It is neither celestial-angelic eloquence, nor the mastery of human language that persuades. It doesn’t matter how poetic, prophetic, or profound I may sound; my conversation is reduced to the hollow noise of clanging brass cymbals if love’s echo is absent.

2 I could predict the future in detail and have a word of knowledge for everyone. I could possess amazing faith, and prove it by moving mountains! It doesn’t make me any more important than anyone else. Love is who you are! You are not defined by your gift or deeds.   Mirror

Eph 3:8 When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God’s way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.

9 My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along.

10 Through Christians like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!

11 All this is proceeding along lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus.

12 Each expression of his gift is to fully equip and enable you for the work of the ministry so that you may mutually contribute in your specific function to give definition to the visible body of Christ.

You are not alone. God (Yahweh) has got your back. No matter what you’re facing, God stands with you. Circumstances can feel like a burning fire.

Dan 3:20 And he commanded the strongest men in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21 Then these [three] men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics or undergarments, their turbans, and their other clothing, and they were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame and sparks from the fire killed those men who handled Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king [saw and] was astounded, and he jumped up and said to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered, True, O king.

25 He answered, Behold, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods!

27 And the satraps, the deputies, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered around together and saw these men — that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed; neither were their garments scorched or changed in color or condition, nor had even the smell of smoke clung to them.AMP

³⁵ Who could ever divorce us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us.

THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT  10-3-21   VIDEO

The Holy Spirit is person not an influence, not only a power. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit comes to be sealed within every believer. A seal is an identified mark. It shows who you belong to. His presences show we belong to Jesus. A signet ring is a form of identification of who you belong to and who your authority comes from. You are sealed and work by the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit is the seal that identifies as belonging to God. There is nothing else left if we deny him. The Holy Spirit will never leave us. He the Holy Spirit is the divine encourager closer to you than your very breath. Sealed within you never to leave.

¹⁵ If anyone dares to stir up strife against you, it is not from me! Those who challenge you will go down in defeat.¹⁶ See, I am the one who created the craftsman who fans the coals into a fire and forges a weapon fit for its purpose, and I am the one who created the destroyer to destroy.
¹⁷ But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refuteevery accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindicationis from me,” says Yahweh. TPT

Lam 3:57 You drew near on the day I called to You; You said, Fear not.

58 O Lord, You have pleaded the causes of my soul [You have managed my affairs and You have protected my person and my rights]; You have rescued and redeemed my life!  AMP

Luke 5:10 And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon (Peter). And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!

11 And after they had run their boats on shore, they left everything and  joined Him as His disciples and sided with His party and accompanied Him.  AMP

LUKE 5:10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were equally astonished. Then Jesus said to Simon, You have nothing to fear! From now on you’ll likewise be “netting” people alive!

11 Then, after bringing their boats to land, they departed from everything that defined them before and followed him.  MIRROR

Rom 8:15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!

16 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.

17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.

18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us! AMP

ROM 8:15-18 And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!”

¹⁶ For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”

¹⁷ And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferingsas our own. TPT

2 Cor 4:1 THEREFORE, SINCE we do hold and engage in this ministry by the mercy of God [granting us favor, benefits, opportunities, and especially salvation], we do not get discouraged (spiritless and despondent with fear) or become faint with weariness and exhaustion.  AMP

2 Cor 4:16 Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.

17 For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!],

18 Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. AMP

2 COR 4:16-18 We have much reason to be brave! There might be a lot of wear and tear on the outside; but don’t be distracted by that! On the inside we are celebrating daily revival!

17 We are fully engaged in an exceedingly superior reality; the extent and weight of this glory make any degree of suffering vanish into insignificance! The suffering is fleeting and ever so slight by comparison to the weight and enduring effect of this glory we participate in for all eternity.

18 We are not keeping any score of what seems so obvious to the senses on the surface; it is fleeting and irrelevant; it is the unseen eternal realm within us which has our full attention and captivates our gaze!  MIRROR

Heb 2:14 Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death — that is, the devil — 

15 And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives.

1 John 4:18 There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life — fear of death, fear of judgment — is one not yet fully formed in love.

19 We, though, are going to love — love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. MSG

1 JN 4:18-19 Fear cannot co-exist in this love realm. The perfect love union that we are talking about expels fear. Fear holds on to an expectation of crisis and judgment and interprets it as due punishment It echoes torment and only registers in someone who does not yet realize the completeness of their love union. 

19 We love because he loved us first!MIRROR
