If you endeavor to do great things for
God, it must be matched by the anointing.
If you deal with great things, great
..., you must, whatever it is, it must
be matched by the anointing of God.
No matter what you do, whether it's
singing, whether it's doing computers,
whether it's, whether it's doing artwork
for God, it doesn't matter. The anointing
is what is, what must match what you do.
The Great Commission is Great. Great
Commission. Before the Great Commission,
you had to have the great power on ...
There's different kinds of people. Two
kinds of people when it comes to this.
Those who, you fill up your cars. You keep
it pretty well. It kind of goes down. You
don't let it go down the below a quarter
tank or so, and then you get you refill.
That's great. You're responsible people.
And then there are those of you, and me,
who let it go down and down and down and
down. It says empty. And I don't, I'm not
panicking. It's not really empty because
it's just telling me it's empty. They
always allow for some extra gas. I know it.
I'm fine. I'm fine because I know it's
this way. I know it. And then it goes even
below that. Now I'm panicking. You know,
because now I'm praying. You ever do that?
Praying, Lord please don't let me run out
of gas until I find that station. Please,
you know, please. It becomes all faith.
I'll never do that again, I promise. I'll
never do it again. Just get me there. And so
in the same way, you know, you fill up
your car and you go. In the Lord you
have to fill up also in order to go forth.
You can't just go, get it once and
then go for the rest of your life. Or you
can't just get it, you get it and then
you're just kind of going on, and going on
and you're not getting filled up again.
You're going to go down. You're going to
get empty. You know, so the point is, we
have to be, you know, Aaron was dripping.
We have to be filled. We have to continually
fill ourselves in the Spirit. Even if we
don't know what we are supposed to do, or
we don't have something in front of us,
but we know God does, still get yourself
filled up continually by the, in the
Spirit of God and then you will be full
and ready for whatever you have to do.
And a lot of things that happen in your
life are not just that thing. You think,
okay I'm going on a mission trip I've got
to be anointed. But you are going to have,
there are going to be issues you have to
deal with. There are going to be problems
you have to deal with, and you need to
deal with them with the anointing of God.
So you want it, you've got to be, you can't
say when the problems going to happen or
when the challenge is going to happen.
You need to be ready anyway. You need to be
anointed, to be filled up with God.
What does the Bible say? Roman 7:6 says,
verse 6 says, serve the Lord, who serve the Lord
in the newness of the Spirit. It's not
optional. In order to serve the Lord, you
have to do it in the newness of the
Spirit. Not meaning, not just what you
have known in the past, and what you, but
now today must be new in the Spirit.
In first Corinthians 3:17 it says, where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
There is freedom. When the Spirit is, the
Spirit's in your heart, you're going to do
the will of God not because of bondage.
You're going to do it in freedom. I'm
going to do it not just because I know I
have to, when I don't really want to. But
I'm going to do it from the innermost
being, wants to, even if the flesh doesn't
want to, I want to. It says in Exodus, your God said
now, He gave all the instructions. It's
the law, all the instructions of the
Tabernacle. Intricate. It's like a
blueprint. Intricate. Everything has to be
exact to make this right. The Tabernacle
of God. But then it says, then it says,
the Spirit of God came upon Bezalel,
name, whose name is ... in Hebrew. God says,
I put my Spirit upon him. He says I did it to
give him wisdom, to give him skill to do
everything that has to be done, to build
it. In order, in other words, in order to
build the Tabernacle of God, even Bezalel
had to have the anointing of God upon
him. You don't know much about Bezalel.
Bezalel's the one who built it, who built
the Tabernacle. He led them all and built it.
And so what it's telling you is ...
when you think of, when people tell you,
oh, you've got to be anointed and people preach
anointing. You think, okay anointing and now
I'm going out, going to heal. I'm going
to do this or this. God may have that. I mean, we
are all to be part of the Great
Commission, in whatever you have. But it's
not just that. This is telling you that
here the anointing of God came upon
Bezelel. It doesn't say he jumped up and
down or rolled, or rolled over. We don't
know what he did, or fell backward. We don't
know. But. It came upon him so that He
gave him the skills to put it all
together. So that what it's telling you
is the Spirit of God will enable you not
only to do the things you think of as
the Spirit of God, but even to do things
like that, like computers, like technical
things, like anything, like your job, like
things that require skill. The Spirit
actually give skill. The Spirit gives
skill to your minds. For everything of
life. Maybe you're not a good father. Pray
for the anointing, that God will give
that to you. That's part of the anointing.
Because God, whatever God has called
you to do, He will anoint. And so if you
are, if you are a father, He's called you
to be a good father. If you're a mother, He's
called you to be a good mother. A good husband.
A good wife. A good son. A good daughter.
A good leader. A good whatever. A good
follower. A good worker. A good boss.
There is an anointing for that because it's
part of your life and your life is
ministering. And judges, it's revealed that
the Spirit of God, the anointing, gave his
people the power to war. The power to
battle, to fight the battle and win.
Gideon. Anointed. God gave him courage. God
gave him the power to fight. Part of the
anointing of God is to give you the
power to fight your battles and win them.
If you're always losing, you can tell you're not
moving in the Spirit. Samson. The Bible
never once, I've told you this, the Bible never
once says that Samson looked like Arnold
Schwarzenegger. Never says that he was a
muscle builder. Yet you still think of
him as that. You still think of Samson as this
big guy, with a beard,
but a big guy. The Bible never says he was
big, never says he was a muscle builder,
never says he went to the gym. Nothing.
That's the whole point. It wasn't him and
his muscles. It was the anointing of the
Spirit of God. That's what it's telling
you. It says, because again, if it was him
then when his hair, when he lost the
anointing, he still would have been
strong naturally. But he wasn't. He had no
strength. And so .., since the Spirit
of God came upon him, and then he went
forth. If God's people will move in that
Spirit, they can do great and mighty
things, despite their weakness.
