Sermon Tone Analysis

It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

Isaiah 10:27

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, Isaiah 61:1-2

Anointing = to smear as with oil.

Our definition – The Tangible presence of God.

The Tangible presence of the Holy Spirit.

Helping and Limiting The Anointing

Woman with the issue of blood.

Many touched Jesus, one pulled power out of Him.

vs 31

Determination was needed.

She said “If I touch the hem of His garment…”

She acted on what she said.

Jesus said her faith made her well.

2. Jairus

Also put a demand on Jesus.

Had opportunity for discouragement.

Could have allowed envy and jealousy stop his miracle.

James 3:14-17 “But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”

To many people lose their miracle when someone else gets blessed?

Can you rejoice in someone else’s favor/blessing?

There will be temptation to allow jealousy to let the enemy in.

3. Complaining stops the anointing.

4. Honor and dishonor.

Mark 6:1-6 “Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue.

And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things?

And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon?

And are not His sisters here with us?”

So they were offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

And He marveled because of their unbelief.

Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.”

Offended because they knew Him.

Lack of honor killed the anointing.

Proper honor would increase the anointing or allow God to fulfill His plan.

Honor does not mean “worshiping man.”

Receiving those God sends is receiving Him.

*How we receive men and women of God determines what kind of reward we will get.
