WHAT IS ANOINTING
1.
The anointing is the PRINCIPLE and the FOUNDATION for doing the work of the Lord.
2.
The anointing of God is the IMPARTATION of the grace, ABILITY and POWER of God upon our lives to do what God has called us to do.
3.
The anointing is unction from the Holy Spirit, to EQUIP and EMPOWER every saint for the ministry which He has ordained for us.
4.
The anointing of God cannot be hidden but must PERMEATE and FLOW OUT of our lives and ministries.
5.
The anointing is a TANGIBLE measure of God’s Holy Spirit imparted upon those He has chosen.
6.
This anointing gives the special SUPERNATURAL ability to fulfill God’s call on lives.
7.
The anointing is like “durian”, a thorny fruit with overwhelming AROMA leaving a lasting impression.
8.
We need to be ministers of life who releasing the anointing of God as we PREACH and teach.
Life Building Station : How To Build Strong Anointing : Session II : The Anointing Upon Jesus
SESSION II
THE ANOINTING UPON JESUS
1.
Our Lord Jesus Christ carried out HIS MINISTRY through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
2.
It took the ANOINTING to destroy the works of the devil (Isa 10:27, 1 John 3:8).
3.
If Jesus did all His works by the anointing, then we would need the SAME ANOINTING that was upon Jesus to be upon us to do the works He did.
4.
We do not receive the FULL MEASURE of anointing instantly.
5.
We grow from ONE LEVEL of anointing to another until we reach the level of anointing He functioning in.
6.
Jesus operated His anointing upon His life through UNION with the Father.
7.
Jesus never sent anyone to represent Him that He did not first EMPOWER (Lk 9:1).
8.
The anointing was essential for Jesus to FULFILL His ministry.
9.
The anointing TRANSFERRED from Jesus to His disciples who were to share His ministry.

Life Building Station : How To Build Strong Anointing : Session III : Three Areas Of Anointing
SESSION III

THREE AREAS OF ANOINTING
1.
The BELIEVER’S anointing is within an individual.
2.
The MINISTERIAL anointing is upon an individual.
3.
The CORPORATE anointing is upon a gathering of believers.
4.
The believer’s anointing can be increase:
BY GROWTH IN FAITH
BY GROWTH IN GRACE
BY GROWTH IN GLORY
5.
The increase in level of the believer’s anointing depends upon what you do with your SPIRITUAL LIFE.
6.
The RESPONSIBILITY to increase it is yours. The ministerial anointing of prophet, priest and king were the only anointing AVAILABLE in the Old Covenant.
7.
When I proceed to act according to the impressions I received under the ministerial anointing, I see MIRACLES take place and the GLORY of God manifests.
8.
If you have a great desire to be used by God powerfully in a ministerial anointing, it would pay you well to develop the ANOINTING WITHIN first.
9.
The anointing within is developed by MEDITATION upon the Word of God and prayer.
Life Building Station : How To Build Strong Anointing : Session IV : The Substance Of The Anointing
SESSION IV
THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ANOINTING
1.
The anointing can be stored like a BATTERY and TRANSMITTED.
2.
Many times in Jesus’ ministry the anointing would be so great that His clothing was literally CHARGED with the power of God (Mark 5:27-30).
3.
Those who touched His garments received MIRACLES (Mark 6:56).
4.
The ability of the anointing of God flowing through any substance is DEPENDENT on the level of anointing imparted rather than on the materiality of the substance.
5.
If man can believe God for CREATIVE power, we can believe that God’s power can flow through any OBJECTS.
6.
The anointing of God can even flow through a SHADOW (Acts 5:15). It has no natural materiality yet God’s power flowed whenever the shadow of peter fell.
7.
In the law of electricity, when we want more power in our rooms, we must REWIRE our house to take the extra load of power.
8.
Pay the price to be better CONDUCTORS, move into a HIGHER level of anointing instead at a low level.

HOW TO RECEIVE THE ANOINTING
By Asking ASK with a very strong desire in prayer. We must thirst and long for it with all our hearts before we ask (Psalm 63:1-2).
2.
By Contact Anointing can be IMPARTED. Impartation means TRANSFER. When anointing is imparted, it is transferred form one anointed VESSEL to the other. It is always from a SUPERIOR to a subordinate.
3.
By Burning Desire The desire must be INTENSE and he must go about it with singleness of mind and PURPOSE.
4.
By The Laying On Of Hands The Spirit of Moses was transferred into seventy elders of Israel enabled them to OPERATE in the office they were called into.
5.
By Anointing With Oil The anointing oil is not a SYMBOL. It is a MEDIUM through which the Holy Spirit operates in the beneficiary.

Seven keys to build and unlock the anointing of God: 1.
Prayer and the Word (Acts 6:2-4) We will give ourselves CONTINUALLY to prayer and to the MINISTRY of the word.
2.
Timing of God (Habakuk 2:3) God is not only the God of PLAN and purpose but He is also the God of TIMING. We need to WAIT for the appointed time for the fulfillment of the vision of God.
3.
Know your calling When we move into our CALLING in Christ, God will release the anointing upon us to rise up as an army of God. When we are FAITHFUL, God will increase the anointing upon our lives and move us higher in Him (Matt 25:20-25)
4.
Remove All Hindrances (Eph 4:29-32) There are many HINDRANCES to receiving the anointing of God. Wrong words, word actions and wrong attitudes can NEGATE and NULLIFY the anointing of God.
5.
Worship (2 Chronicles 5:13, 14) Praise and worship PREPARE the heart of the people to be tender and open to the anointing of God. Worship will cause us to be SENSITIVE to the moving of the Holy Spirit.
6.
Expectation of The Congregation The faith and expectation level of congregation will DETERMINE the anointing in a meeting. When saints come with hunger and thirst for God and His word, they will DRAW the anointing from He preacher.

7.
Unity of The Brethren (Psalm 133) Four things result when brethren dwell in unity: a)
The RELEASE of anointing oil.
b)
REFRESHMENT of the dew.
c)
BLESSING of the Lord.
d)
LIFE forever more.
When the saints are united as one body, God will release His anointing in a MIGHTY WAVE and the world will come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
