friends and partners of Kingdom
connection when you cry like that when
you have nothing but a plea that says
I’m not trying to defend what I’ve said
or what I’ve done and what I’ve got on
the inside but I am asking you to
cleanse me he’ll never turn
[Music]
verse 22 of Exodus chapter 30 moreover
the Lord spoke to Moses saying take for
yourself quality spices 500 shekels of
liquid myrrh half as much of
sweet-smelling cinnamon 250 shekels of
sweet-smelling cane or calamus some
translations say 500 shekels of cassia
according to the shekel of the sanctuary
and a hen which is a container that’s a
basically five quarts of olive oil in my
Bible that I’m reading it has a heading
over these verses called the holy
anointing all and that is exactly what
it is this is God’s recipe for the
anointing and he says that it was to be
made of five different ingredients the
precious anointing all that they used to
anoint kings and priests and for so many
other occasions it had to have five
ingredients specific a specific recipe
was given for the anointing all and I
want to speak to you for a few moments
today on the subject of the five
ingredients of an anointed life don’t
you want to live an anointed life not
just a life but an anointed life and the
five ingredients are found in this text
and they must be present in your life to
produce an anointed life the recipe for
the anointing and he said the first
thing that you are to put in the
anointing oil is a spice called mer mer
is a fragrance that comes from the trunk
of a coma for a tree in Arabia it’s
produced in the form of Tears alcohol is
added to remove any impurities and
listen carefully then it is steamed and
as the stain passes through the gun
it’s melted into a flowing ol and that
all becomes a perfume myrrh is a
beautiful picture of meekness and
Submission and I’ll make that clear in
just a moment the number one ingredient
for an anointed life is meekness and
submission to God’s will
meekness is not weakness meekness is
strength in harness for service meekness
is the raging river no longer flowing
wide and wild but submitting to the dam
so that from it might come
hydroelectricity its submitting all that
you have in obedience to God and when
you do that the anointing is attracted
to your life submission and meekness is
the wild untamed powerful stallion
submitting to the bit the bridle the
saddle in the tug of the reins the Bible
says in numbers chapter 12 and verse 3
that Moses was the meekest man who ever
lived how did it come to be how did he
become so mink it was because it took
one third of his life to get to that
place forty years was spent in the
wilderness stripped of the marble
columns of Egypt stripped of the silk in
the satin in the prosperous place that
he had grown up most of his life and now
he finds himself in a desert and from
the high life that he was living in
Egypt – 40 years of tending sheep in the
desert but during those 40 years see all
of you want to be instantaneous
successful people but 40 years of Lading
and calling on God until rebellion was
gone it just was steamed out of him self
wheel was gone in submission and
meekness to God
began to happen
stubbornness was burned out of him the
steam of God spirit had passed through
the gum of a man’s very fiber and now
the oil is flowing out of his life and
God sends a burning bush and speaks to
him and God’s watching him and his
reaction and the first thing he does is
in meekness he takes his shoes off as a
sign of reverence and respect to the
presence of God then he listens to the
voice of God because he knows you’ll
hear many voices but that voice is the
one I must follow and God says I’m going
to teach you faith Moses I’m gonna teach
you faith that confronts your greatest
fear go to Pharaoh and tell him I am
sent you and in submission to God in
great meekness understanding that my job
is just to obey God and let the god deal
with the consequences I’m just going and
submission and in total meekness doing
what God told me to do and God in that
said to him Moses don’t ever forget
there is a place by me and you can be in
that place you can settle for the
multitudes at the foot of the mountain
or you can come halfway up with the
seventy holders or you can come up to a
place of nearness to me for there is a
place by me and when you get to that
place of meekness and when you get to
that place of total submission where you
say what Mary said to those servants
whatever he says unto you do it when you
reach that point when you can carry out
Mary’s orders and whatever he tells you
to do you are submitted you are meek
enough to just do it God says now you
are discovering the first step to an
anointed life and you’ll never be able
to submit to your husband to your wife
to the elders to leadership you’ll never
be able to submit to them until you
submit to God the second ingredient for
an anointed life was something called
the cinnamon came from a tree that grew
30 to 40 feet and the remarkable thing
about it was it grew straight up they
say that it grew so straight that it had
no curves and they would take the leaves
in the fruit of that upright tree and
squeeze them and out of that would come
a fragrant all they made candles for the
king of Simon that had a beautiful
fragrance the second ingredient of an
anointed life is called uprightness or
how you stand when I talk about standing
upright I’m not talking about you acting
like you are so self-righteous that your
own spiritual steals looking down and
all the unspiritual people who don’t
live as pure and as clean as you do we
don’t tower down on people looking down
on people but there’s a truth that when
we take an upright stand when we stand
up for what is right the anointing is
attracted to our life did you know the
Old Testament said that if a man had a
crooked back he was disqualified from
being a priest in the temple it’s
because it affected the way that he
stood and God wanted to make a point he
wanted us to know that our stand are
upright stand matters it matters to
whether or not the anointing is
attracted to your life if he had a
crooked back he couldn’t stand straight
and then God said in his qualifications
for priesthood if his back is crooked
he can’t stand straight he doesn’t
qualify God is saying to you and I I
want you to stand for truth added light
brings added blessing and added blessing
brings added responsibility and this is
an hour when we need to stand for truth
stand in his righteousness not your own
Billy Crabtree said on Christ the solid
rock I stand and every other rock
a shamrock and that’s the truth I rise
today to tell you that if you are
standing in your own righteousness you
will not make it but what is the basis
of your stand I point you to Jesus I
point you to his blood shed on the cross
and without one plea but that thy blood
was shed for me that is how we stand
thirdly we stand on his promises you
need to understand you either have a
living faith or a dying faith whose
report will you believe stand on the
promise of divine healing you may have
gotten a bad report from the doctor I
respect and appreciate the doctors but
they do not have the last word stand on
the promises of God that by His stripes
we are healed with long life he’ll
satisfy us and show us his salvation
Martin Luther was asked do you know the
whole world seems to be against you he
said good I’m against the whole world
there comes a moment where we have to
get a divine backbone and take a stand
for what is right and it doesn’t matter
what public opinion says about it and it
doesn’t matter what people think just do
what God tells you to do and when you
are upright in your stand it drawls the
anointing the Bible said in Hebrews 11
that Moses made a choice to say no to
Egypt and yes to God there was a yes and
there was a no I wonder if there’s any
knows in your life are there any is
everything yes yes bless me yes yes but
do you ever get an O in your life where
the Holy Spirit says no don’t do that
don’t go there don’t touch that don’t
listen to that don’t look at that we
don’t just need yeses in our life we
need a stand an upright stand that says
no to sin no to the world no
flesh no to the devil get out of my
house get out of my mind get out of my
heart you’ve got to save him both say
yes and no to God because when you say
no to the things God tells you to say no
to his favor and his anointing begins to
flow in your direction first John 2:14 I
have written to you young men that the
Word of God
abide in you and you have overcome the
evil one the only way you’re going to
overcome the evil one is to have the
word in you and to take a stand
beware of charismatic shortcuts to
spirituality there are none some things
can’t be improved on you can’t improve
on water try to take a shower in Pepsi
it doesn’t work good you can’t improve
on breathing air try any other thing for
three minutes and see how it works out
and there are certain fundamental things
like prayer and worship and reading the
word and listening to the word and
coming to church and tithing and giving
that cannot be improved on just do it
and when you do it God’s blessing and
his anointing will be attracted to your
life these things cause the anointing to
be attracted to your life four times in
the book of Ephesians God says stand
stand stand stand when it looks like
your prayers aren’t working when it
looks like the fasting isn’t working
when it looks like the Bible isn’t
working when it feels like the dream is
not working what do you do you don’t
quit you don’t get angry you don’t throw
in the towel you stand four times and
when you’ve done all to stand stand
there for with an upright stand that
says I will not back down from what God
has told me to do the third ingredient
of an anointed life is given when he
said sweet Cain
or one translations is calamus the cane
or calamus was a frag was a fragrant
read read that grew in swamps and the
head of that read was filled with all
this is interesting they knew that it
wasn’t ready to be used until the head
of that read was bent over and almost
touched the ground
it speaks of bending low in humility if
you want the ingredient that will
attract the anointing of God you must
have humility John 13 and 5 Jesus had a
level of humility that most of us do not
understand in this proud society one by
one the big smelly peasant fisherman
won’t Bend with grindy sand and filth
and dirt on their feet and Jesus Christ
God in the flesh bent low bent over and
began to wash their feet in an ultimate
act of humility the hands that washed
those feet were the hands that created
the universe from magnificence to the
menial task of foot washing it was his
answer to the question who shall be
greatest in your kingdom so if you have
any ambitions if you want to be great
bring your basin bring your towel and
bring your water and wash feet because
if you’re not willing to been low in
humility and serve people God says it’s
not about your name it’s not about your
popularity it’s not about your fame it’s
about serving people Psalms 84 said I’d
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of
God I don’t have to be the first seat I
don’t have to be in the limelight but I
want to do something I want to wash
somebody’s feet maybe it’s in the
nursery maybe it’s in the parking lot
May
be assuring maybe it’s small grouping
maybe it’s something but I must do
something that serves people and when
you do the anointing is drawn to that
kind of humility no humility no
anointing the problem is the more God
blesses us we lose the humility we lose
the willingness to be bent low in
humility but Jesus was as great as you
could get and he modeled humility in
washing the disciples feet the more
humility you have the more anointing God
will put on your life walk in humility
and then the fourth ingredient for an
anointed life is cassia this is
interesting they said there were 400
types that grew in in tropical climates
and one of the things that it produces
is something called Cena and older
people may know that that that phrase
but it has and was used for inner
cleansing in other words when something
when someone was sick they would take
this particular oil and they would pour
it down castle or they would pour it
down I wrote down depth charges it was
used for inner cleansing in other words
if you won’t the anointing every now and
then you need an inner cleansing you
need everything inside of you to be
brought to the cross and be brought to
the altar and you need to go back to
saying God search me and try me and see
if there be any wicked thing in me lord
I need an inner cleansing am i letting
things get into my life that are not
pleasing and hindering the anointing
before it’s a deed it’s a thought and
before it’s an action it’s an attitude
so cleanse me search me know my faults
know my inward thoughts Oh God and let
me be cleansed in
wordly and when your clans inwardly you
have to clean up your temple you have to
clean up the areas of your temple the
study of your mind what are you feeding
what are you putting in your mind every
now and then we need to just clean it
out and fill it up with the Word of God
again we listen to all the negative all
of this that the other the noise and we
need to clean out the study of our minds
you need to clean out the dining room of
your appetites you need to clean up the
workshop of your talents you need to
clean up the play room of your pleasures
and pastimes and entertainments Malachi
said he will sit as a refiner of silver
he’ll keep turning the heat up until the
scum comes up and he’ll scrape it off
until pure silver is nothing nothing
that is left but pure silver and then it
says this he’ll sit as a refiner Speier
and fuller soap fire on the inside and
soap for the outside he says there are
times when I want you to come to church
and I want you to get cleaned out and
cleaned up I want you to come in one way
with your study of your mind and your
appetites and all these things that have
gotten a grip on your life I want you to
be completely cleaned out and when you
do when you submit to the Word of God
and come with a plea of God forgive me
God cleanse me god I’m strange so far
from the cross I haven’t really really
really been in your presence in a long
time so Lord cleanse me when you cry
like that when you have nothing but a
plea that says I’m not trying to defend
what I’ve said or what I’ve done and
what I’ve got on the inside but I am
asking you to cleanse me he’ll never
turn that kind of person away and he who
began a good work in you will complete
it clap your hands on that verse that’s
a good one
inner cleansing attracts the anointing
inner cleansing attracts the anointing
and then one more he said you are to
take a container five quarts the biggest
component of the anointing is something
called olive oil and olive oil
represents and speaks of the Holy Spirit
in other words he’s saying be filled
with the Holy Spirit olive oil was used
to cook food in ancient days it fed the
Holy Spirit feeds us they would use it
to bring rest and comfort they would put
it on them after a long journey the Holy
Spirit is called the comforter and he
anoints our head with all the Good
Samaritan used the olive oil and poured
it with wine into the wounds of the man
who had been robbed and it healed his
wounds and his hurts the anointing all
of the Holy Spirit can heal our bodies
our minds our relationships our broken
hearts it was used to anoint kings and
priests and prophets and if you haven’t
heard anything else here’s what I hear
the Lord saying in Psalms 92 David said
I shall be anointed with fresh oil
there’s nothing worse than stale oh
there’s nothing worse than old old it
attracts flies according to the
scripture and when they get in the oil
and Satan is Beelzebub the Lord of the
Flies so when we’re living off
yesterday’s all fighting today’s battles
with yesterday’s touches and alls and
anointings
it attracts flies it attracts the attack
of the enemy and there’s a stench to
yesterday’s all that’s why David said
I’m crying out and I shall be anointed
with fresh all fighting today’s battles
and depending on yesterday’s all is a
futile thing and it’s a it’s a
humiliating defeating thing that happens
yesterday’s all is miserable as a
substitute for fresh all today the five
ingredients of an anointed life meekness
up brightness humility inner cleansing
and a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit
I wrote this last night I am a candidate
for a fresh anointing
every day we need a fresh anointing
there’s nothing that can take the place
of a fresh move of God in your life
money can’t the house the car everything
that you think is so important and they
are and it’s sometimes we just get so
obsessed with these material things that
we forget what really makes us happy I
shall be anointed with fresh or is
anybody here hungry for the qualities of
an anointed life would anybody like to
bend low in humility anybody like an
inner cleansing that everything unlike
Jesus would be washed out anybody here
like to walk in meekness and Submission
instead of arrogance and pride and
stubbornness and rebellion anybody here
say I wish I could get filled with the
Holy Spirit all over again lose myself
in a river of worship end up on the
floor somewhere praying in other tongues
as the spirit gives me the utterance
that stuff scares you just hang around
we’ll get all that fear out of you
because that’s where the life is that’s
where the joy is hallelujah
I shall be anointed with fresh oil I
need it I want it I’m a candidate for a
fresh anointing
closing moments I want to talk to you
about something that moved me and I
don’t think I’ll ever be the same God
has opened some unprecedented
opportunities for this ministry over the
last several years and I can tell you
the work that we’re doing in Israel is
critical just in the last few weeks
rockets if you’ve been watching the news
have been fired in injuries and chaos
has plagued a tiny region bordering Gaza
in Egypt a tiny region of Israel
it’s the Eshkol region and there we’re
building the ash coal region trauma
center we broke ground on it it is under
construction
I believe we’re fulfilling the Biblical
prophecy as Isaiah spoke in the fortieth
chapter when he said comfort ye comfort
Imai people and that’s exactly what
we’re doing the center that we’re
building will have an indoor playground
for over 2,500 children where they can
play in dream and grow in safety along
with elderly Holocaust survivors in that
very area I’m not going to tell you what
to gild I’m only going to ask you to
seek the Lord and see what he would have
you do and as we do this together I
believe God will pour out blessings on
you you’ve never seen before please do
your very best we need your help on this
project here’s my announcer to tell you
how each year thousands of rockets are
fired into cities neighborhoods and
schools across
in Eshkol an area immediately next to
the Gaza Strip a when the sirens sound
families children and elderly alike have
just 15 seconds to take cover in bomb
shelters the trauma of terror ripples
through all generations from Holocaust
survivors to the very youngest of
children but it’s because of your
generosity that we have been able to
break ground on the brand-new ash coal
region trauma center here children and
