God's Anointing Based On Faith

God's Anointing Is Based on Your Faith

by Carl Patton

We are grateful for your evident interest in the True Word of God. First we advise you to define anointing in the realm of God and not man. As we look at a scriptural reference (Samuel 10: 1, 6 & 1-27. We see that no man has a permanent lock on God's Anointing. Also we advise you to
realize that no Preacher is Anointed that has a great emphasis on money and only seeks to use God to get paid. Thus all of the Prosperity Preachers are Hell-Bound and so are the Faith-Healers.

We also advise all young Ministers that you need to stop listening to Hell-Bound Old Preachers. Read the Bible and follow God's Law. You will be held accountable. That is the Word and not what the FreedomJournal Thinks.

Samuel 10: 1. "Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?"

During the times of the Old Testament when a Hebrew King took office he was also anointed. The anointing was the religious act of making the king Gods representative to the people. He was always anointed by a Priest or a Prophet. The oil represented the presence and power of the Holy Spirit of God in his life. Most importantly this act of anointing was to remind the king that he was to lead the people in the Wisdom of God and not his wisdom or the wisdom of man.

10:6. "And the spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man."

To be turned into another man means that he was changed from an uninspired to an inspired man. However how could Saul be so filled with the Spirit and later commit such evil acts? The Bible reveals throughout the Old Testament that God rendered the Holy Spirit often but in a temporary fashion so that God could use people for a certain purpose. Thus, we see temporary manifestations of the Holy Spirit. We also see the Holy Spirit coming over unbelievers to carry- out acts for God.

In the case of Saul in his early years he had a good heart and stayed with God as a result of the Holy Spirit in him. But as Saul grew in power, he became puffed -up as he left God he was fired and the Holy Spirit left him. Here we see the temporary residence of the Holy Spirit in Saul. The
Holy Spirit can only take residence only in those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Samuel 16:14. "But the spirit of the lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him."

Brethren and all those that walk and crawl the planet earth God will leave you if you leave God. Thus, many of the Preachers of today have been fired by God. Some were anointed some were not. One is a fool to think that every Preacher that claims he is Called and/or Anointed is actually
Anointed by God. You can easily determine the Anointed one's. They don't lie. They don't claim that God wants you to give 10% of your income and claim it is a commandment from God.

Simply the anointed are Godly people and follow the laws of God and not man. Do you know any Preachers that follow God and not man?
