The Anointing of the Holy Spirit is rested upon you. Luke Chapter 4

Luke Chapter 4

What really and fundamentally embody a real man are not houses, cars, and fancy clothes. What makes a man is the word of God operating in the inner recesses of the man’s being.

In the book of genesis God spoke everything into existence except the man, because when it came to the creation of man, God summoned a summit whose gathering was an embodiment of God the head, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit.

And when it was finally time for God to form mankind, God rolled his sleeves and formed man from the dust of the earth.

Its critical piece right here because God spoke everything without getting his hands dirty but when it came to the creation of mankind he took time to think about the destiny and the purpose of the man that he was going to create.

Furthermore, when it was time to form the man God worked with his hands after thinking with his head.

Its here and now that I would like to invite you to the consideration that your next assignment in God is one that will challenge you to think out of the box and to get your hands into something you thought you will never be able to engage into.

God is next to cleanliness but he had to come down to earth and pick me out of the dust so that I can reign and govern over all his other creations which he set in motion without necessarily getting his hand dirty.

They are people in this life and some of them are your contemporaries whom God raised up and they went through nothing.

They did not wait upon God to be where they are, as a matter of fact all they did was to dress-up in the finest of clothes and things happened for them.

All they did was to make a phone call and the Job was given to them, all they did was to post their picture on some dating site and some white man paid up for their next level but they did not have to go through nothing like a dirty experience.

Some people did you dirty and you did not even seek revenge because you understood that vengeance belongs to the Lord, but yet still when you looked over their lives, they were doing better than you.

But God says,’ I was in the dirty experience with you working with every dirt that you had to endure and then using your dirty experience to lift you high above the people whose existence above the dust was easy.

You will be lifted up and you will reign over and above because from genesis till the time of Jesus the anointing of the Holy Spirit was void of rest. It was void of rest because it had not found an appropriate place to rest.

It was void of rest because it had not found an appropriate place to rest, in genesis it argues that the spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water.

Water is pure but even though water was pure the spirit of God did not find rest upon it.

Simply because you are pure and all that doesn’t mean that the spirit of God is rested on you. God is looking to pour out his anointing on some one who has had a experience so that he can lift you up and eventually use you to lift up people from the dust of the earth.

Even though Adam came before Jesus, Adam was created out of the image of Jesus Christ who is the son of God, the express image of God.

And according to the gospel of the Nazarene it argues that during the event of John the Baptist’s baptism at the river Jordan-the Dove came upon Jesus symbolic of the anointing of the holy spirit and it sang” my son since the time of the prophets I have been waiting for thee, in order to rest and upon you my beloved son I will rest forever.”

Jesus Christ is the son of God who came in the flesh and walked among humankind, he came in the flesh and the flesh was formed out of the dust of the earth-meaning that the anointing of God rested upon the dust of the earth which played host to the son of God and whoever believes and calls upon his name, the name of Jesus-so is he in Jesus and Jesus is in him also.

In other wards, if you are in Jesus then the anointing of the Holy Spirit is rested on you; the evidence that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is rested upon you is in the trouble and suffering you face after doing the will of God Almighty.

In Luke 4:14, it argues that after the anointing of the Holy Spirit had fully rested on Jesus, it led him in the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil.

Hence if you do not wan to encounter any trouble from the devil and any opposition from the world just simply do not obey the Holy Spirit.

But if you going to allow yourself to obey the spirit of God then trouble will confront you and opposition will come your way. There will be opposition because opposition is evidence that you have power.

There is no power without opposition, and all that power has to in order to overcome opposition is to stand its ground.

For Jesus to over come the devil in the wilderness he had to stand his ground as the scriptures and the words of God directed.

Many times you don’t need to respond to your opposition, all you have to do is to stand your ground and eventually the devil will flee from you.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is rested on your life because God Almighty as a particular and a specific assignment for your life whose achievement and accomplish comes by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So whatever is trying to stop you and to distract you from accomplishing the assignment of God for your life will not win because the anointing of the Holy Spirit is resting on your life more powerful than your opposition.

Whatever is trying to separate you from the will and the pla of God for your life will not be able to succeed because the power of God Almighty is fighting and working for you to se to it that you succeed above your adversary.

After standing your ground as it relates to the directives of God in the face of suffering temptation from the devil after having followed the anointing of the Holy Spirit –the power of God will fundamentally become evident on your life to the extent that a testimony will be born out of your dirty experience, a testimony that will bring the whole world to a place of trembling before the Lord your God.
