Anointed

Anointed

 

1 John 2:19-20 

19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us, because if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us.

 But they went out from us to demonstrate that all of them do not belong to us.

20 Nevertheless you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

 

Being anointed by the Holy One … and be indwelt by His Spirit,

helps one to see the purpose as the Lord is teaching you.

Knowledge comes from the Spirit and helps the mind understand

the things that I ought to know for the “then” are based on truth.

 

The things of God are simply known by the spirit’s intuition.

My mind can merely know … the purpose of a call.

The spirit can instruct the mind and does not need permission.

The mind can absorb knowing without understanding this at all.

 

God unfolds His Mind … through the Holy Spirit.

Who in turn shows my spirit in its appointed time.

God does not require my help as He teaches gently if

 I just obey my best … then in service, I’ll be fine.

 

Spiritual discernment then does not require man’s teachings.

The indwelling Anointing helps to study self-approved.

God respects no people, who lean on own understanding,

for that should have died long ago and be hidden in a tomb.

 

Most of us are mummies … wrapped up for future time,

thinking we can escape a death … that is there forever.

Embalmed by the hands of men we believe to escape the matter

and dust to dust becomes a song that we memorize as “never”.

 

I can die now or choose to do it later … for dying is a fact of “life”

To die in Christ with all I am … will present me life eternal

If I hang on to die later … at the time of my last breath,

then my forever will be … far from Life beyond survival.
