Fellowship with God: Anointed Living in the last hour -Part Two

1 John 2:20–27 (CSB)

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; he who confesses the Son has the Father as well.

What you have heard from the beginning is to remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.

I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need anyone to teach you. Instead, his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you, remain in him.

“You have an anointing”

The word used is chrisma- Anointed for a purpose

it is an anointing for an Assignment

It is the unction to do or complete the work

John’s words “unction” or “anointing” are just a very graphic way of describing the influence and the effect of the Holy Spirit upon the believer.

We are anointed with the Holy Spirit- Acts 2:17

Acts 2:17 CSB

And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all people; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

WE are in the last days and we are anointed with the Holy Spirit!

Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit

Acts 10:38 (CSB)

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were under the tyranny of the devil, because God was with him.

The anointing we have in the Last day is the same anointing, by the Same Spirit

WE aren’t on the loosing team

We break the tyranny or the oppression of the Devil, because God is with us

The anointing is not some mystical something out there. The anointing is the presence and power of God manifested.

1 Corinthians 6:19 CSB

Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
