Fellowship with God: How to Wl;ak in the Anointing

Remain in Him

Outline:

How to Walk in the Anointing

intro- He has anointed us to live in this world victoriously

Remain in Christ

1 John 2:27–28 CSB

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. So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Anointing is the presence of God in our life

Purify Yourself

1 John 3:3 CSB

And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure.

The Word of God is truth in which we sanctify ourselves

Renewing keeps us from conforming

We belong to God not this world (1 John 3:1)

We are the Children of God- act like it

Don’t become enslaved to what Jesus has set us free from

Do the works of Jesus-

Practice Righteousness

1 john

We are able because Jesus has destroyed the work of the Devil

1 John 3:7 CSB

Little children, let no one deceive you. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

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.

Scripture: 1 John 2:27-3:10

1 John 2:27 ESV

But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

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

Rodney Howard-Browne

The Anointing that John Speaks of is the presence of God’s Spirit that is active in our lives

John 14:26 CSB

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.

This anointing only comes through the Spirit

our responsibility is to : Remain in Him

John 15:5 CSB

I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.

When we remain in Christ we produce the fruit of the life of Christ in our own lives-

We become like

1 John 3:2 (CSB)

Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is.

We do things that He does

Because We are children of God

1 John 2:28–29 (CSB)

So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know this as well: Everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

Jesus with Nicodemus says

John 3:5–6 CSB

Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.

You must be Spiritually born- and the fruit of People who are Spiritually born

They do what is right

They live righteously

they purify themselves-

1 John 3:3 CSB

And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure.

We have the ability to remove those things that get between us and God

We are to purify ourselves- We come back tot he source of our salvation

Purifies -

“to purify, cleanse from defilement,”

Romans 12:2 CSB

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

We are renewed through His word

John 17:17 CSB

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

WE can keep ourselves free from the entanglement of the devil by remaining in Him

We can hinder the Life of God within us-

1 John 3:6 CSB

Everyone who remains in him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen him or known him.

When we remain in Sin we remain under the control of the Devil-

This is why so many lives are broken still

This is why depression control many Christian

this is why Fear and anxiety dictate some believers lives

But Jesus

1 John 3:8 CSB

The one who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the devil’s works.

There is freedom in Jesus Christ

John 8:36 CSB

So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.

And the Life of Christ remains in us

1 John 3:9 CSB

Everyone who has been born of God does not sin, because his seed remains in him; he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Luke 4:18–19 (CSB)

The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me

to proclaim release to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set free the oppressed,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
