Learning Under the Anointing

English Standard Version Chapter 11

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

English Standard Version Chapter 3

16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

English Standard Version Chapter 1

51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

English Standard Version Chapter 1

51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

English Standard Version Chapter 8

2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

English Standard Version Chapter 3

16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

The Meaning of the Anointing

The anointing Is the Holy Spirit taking HIS place as aboslute Lord in

the anointing carries with it the absolute lordship of the Holy Spirit

that is why when Jesus was baptized He allowed himself to be subjected to the death and buriel of every other Lordship -

Jordan’s grave set aside every other lordship

Jesus never acted independently - He adhered to the Holy Spirit’s subjection which is what the anointing is

He could nothing apart from His Father -

I speak not from myself

The works that I do are not my own - the Father abiding me doing His works

the Positive side of the anointing - The Father Only -

the Negative side - we are imprisoned ino the lordship of the Spirit of God

so that there can be nothing if He doesn’t Do it NOTHING

that isn’t pleasant experience - if the natural life is strong and in any way in the ascendant

When ONE turns - makes the Lord the object -

Lordship and Subjection

putting alongside or after it -

He is the pre-eminient one - supreme -

gives value to everyone who comes after - we get the benefit of that value that comes from being subjected to HIS LORDSHIP

The First Lesson

His Nature - Is Divine ours is HUMAN

very very different

competing in fact - we can live in a self assuredness with a sense of right judgement - but that always needs to be submitted to Christ - to His Word

we can be outwardly christian - which can only work for so long -

we need to be the other type where we have allowed Christ to get inward - where there has been a submission of our hearts - we put on the nature of Christ - and who we are on the inside begins to show outwardly and it isn’t a show it’s real - it’s genuine -
