Summary

In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Ron McIntosh teaches that New Covenant believers possess an abiding anointing through the Holy Spirit to bring heaven's reality to earth. By examining how Jesus ministered as an anointed human, believers are invited to rely on God's Holy Spirit rather than self-sufficiency. To walk effectively in this divine empowerment, believers must steward natural resources faithfully, look beyond natural limitations to see supernatural possibilities, and yield to the Holy Spirit by slowing down, stopping sin, and surrendering full control to God.

Key Points

1.
Jesus declared the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy in Luke 4, announcing the New Covenant era where heavenly provision, freedom, and favor are accessible to believers today.
2.
Jesus operated in signs and miracles as an anointed man empowered by the Holy Spirit, establishing a clear pattern for believers to follow.
3.
The anointing is God placing His supernatural power upon our natural human limits, making up the gap between our ability and what God wants accomplished.
4.
Faithful stewardship of natural wealth and finances directly prepares a believer to be trusted with supernatural authority and true spiritual riches.
5.
Miracles are intended to open our eyes to the supernatural realm and transform our heart perception rather than just provide temporal relief.
6.
Under the New Covenant, believers possess an abiding anointing from the Holy Spirit that remains with them daily as they remain aware of God's Word.
7.
Increasing in the anointing requires yielding to the Holy Spirit through three practical steps: slowing down to wait on God, stopping sin that quenches the Spirit, and surrendering control to God.

Sermon Moments

“Oral Roberts' definition of the anointing: "A divine energy that empties you of yourself, fills you with the presence of God, so much so that when you speak, it's like God speaking, and when you act, it's like God acting."”

“The analogy of a traffic yield sign illustrating spiritual yieldness: slowing down to wait on God, stopping sin, and giving God the right of way.”

“The miraculous healing of Judge Lee, who listened to faith teaching tapes continuously until his heart was filled with faith and cancer left his body completely.”

“The testimony of an ORU student who received instant sight in a blind eye during campus worship, sparking months of spiritual awakening.”

This Week

Evaluate how you manage natural finances and commit to faithful stewardship, tithing, and debt freedom so God can trust you with spiritual increase.

Slow down daily to wait on the Lord in quiet prayer, allowing Him to renew your strength and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

Examine your heart for any known sin that quenches or grieves the Holy Spirit, and repent quickly to maintain clear fellowship with God.

Surrender control every morning by intentionally giving God the "right of way" in your schedule, choices, and relationships.

Train your mind to look at circumstances through a supernatural lens first, trusting God's capability rather than natural limitations.

Embrace your identity as an anointed herald of the gospel, looking for opportunities to share Christ's good news in everyday settings.

Step out in faith to pray for those who are bound, sick, or discouraged, trusting the Holy Spirit's power to work through you.

Remember This

The anointing is God placing His supernatural ability upon our natural life, empowering every believer to bring heaven's reality, healing, and freedom into the world around them.

A Challenge for You

The real altar call is not to the platform but beyond those exit signs where people will carry out the presence and anointing of God into the settings in which they are in.
