Stewarding Your Anointing | Part 5

And and very quickly about the anointing is always tied to an assignment and no one can stop that assignment except you through disobedience. Oh, that's it. Me. It's through disobedience. That's what stops it. And here's the thing. We talked about Joseph. Hell can oppose you but it cannot stop. Only compromise stops the assignment. Did hear that?

Am I aligned with him? Are you here this morning? And so I believe this is what the holy spirit is saying to us today that really you're not waiting on some anointing. The anointing is already within you. Ain't that right? The anointing was within you and and you're not trying to get god to come closer to you. I don't know how much closer he could get to be it in you. Right? But it he's already taken up residence. [00:09:48] (26 seconds)  #AnointingWithinYou

the anointing of God, it'll shape your character if you let it. The anointing isn't just power, it's presence. It's presence in our life. God's presence convicts, purifies, humbles, and transforms. Stewarding the anointing means letting God shape who you are, not just what you do. Ain't that right, men? And here's the thing without, excuse me, stewardship, gifting can grow or outgrow character. And that's what happens where you see all these crazy things and people, you know, ministers and, you know, they have ongoing affairs for eight years and what? And you've been still preaching and teaching and out there? Dear god, I don't get that. I don't understand that. Amen? [00:28:10] (51 seconds)  #AnointingShapesCharacter

And so in essence, stewarding the anointing matters because it protects your calling. Watch this. It strengthens your walk with god. It keeps you spiritually sharp, and we need that today more than ever. It shapes your character. It blesses others. It honors the one who anointed you. Amen?

And we said this that the holy spirit now because of the death, burial, and the resurrection, the holy spirit now has come and ushered in to those who accept Christ and we are the temple. I have this these verses I put them up this week for you to see but first Corinthians six and second Corinthians six sixteen, the holy spirit dwells within us and that word temple is where we get the Greek word nos. It actually means the inner sanctuary. So now we are the inner sanctuary, the holy of holies, you are carriers. It's not the outer court. It's not the court of the gentiles. It was the place and the temple that was the most sacred that the that the priest would go once a year. Now that word temple right there, that's that word, holy of holies. Someone say amen. And so so as as as believers, we host the presence of God wherever you go. [00:04:42] (58 seconds)  #WeAreTheTemple

Let me help you with this. It's really neglect makes the anointing dormant, but attention makes it flourish. Capacity is the emotional, spiritual, and relational margin required to lead well over time. Every single one of us has a capacity. [00:15:31] (20 seconds)  #AttentionMakesAnointingFlourish

the anointing grows or diminishes based on our stewardship. What does that mean? Here's the thing. The anointing itself is from God. But watch this, and this word has really been stirred in my heart. But your capacity to carry it can increase or weaken. [00:14:56] (18 seconds)  #StewardshipGrowsCapacity

And so the basic foundation is you gotta feed on the word. And if you can't handle more than eighteen seconds, Just read a verse. 18. If you I can only handle one verse, not a chapter. Forget it. If you can just handle that every day, that's growth. That's growth. [00:13:15] (22 seconds)  #FeedOnTheWordDaily
