Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Dispensing The Anointing

Posted 09-23-2023 at 10:04 PM by Albert Finch


"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us...and put his Spirit in our hearts..." - 2 Corinthians 1:21,22

"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man....that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:16,19


To be effective we must minister according to His energy, or His power in our lives.

As the Lord activates new realms of faith within our spirit -- where we will run FREE and UNFETTERED in our Christ identity -- emboldened by His love, strengthened by our unity of heart, propelled by His manifestation of power in and through us, there is a FREEDOM that comes into our heart to RECEIVE and RELEASE God's presence. Such a joy. Such a liberty in Him. Such an ease in His Glory.

"..thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over...I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." - Psalm 23:5,6

Our works of faith are blessed with His anointing. The Lord pours forth an anointing oil. It's brilliant white and gold shimmering, and it's flowing all over us as a people. We are being lavished by His love flowing into our heart -- His All-consuming love. It's a warm oil. And it's like this oil has a life of its own, as if it is emanating a light. We are covered.

A CONTINUOUS CURRENT

The more we release His love upon others—the more we DISPENSE the anointing He has given us -- His warmth, His presence, His joy, His light—the more He pours in. It becomes a CONTINUOUS CURRENT and generates LIFE, restoration, momentum, and fruitfulness. Because freely we have received, so generously we will give! His oil is so incredibly abundant.

Do you want to go deeper into the Lord's heart? Then release His Spirit on others. Seize those opportunities to DISCIPLE OTHERS INTO THEIR CHRIST IDENTITY, RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD, AND WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. Give and it will come back to you FULL MEASURE, pressed down, shaken together, and RUNNING OVER!

How is the glory of the Lord going to cover the earth as the waters cover the seas? ONE CLAY VESSEL AT A TIME! In our surrender, He pours in, and in our surrender, we pour out!
