The Anointing

The anointing of the Lord is in the Body; as much as the Head Christ was anointed, so much more, the Body. If we are one with the Body corporately by being one with the Lord personally, we are in the right position to enjoy the anointing God, the Father, has bestowed upon Christ, the Son, who is the Head of the Body, of which, all the believers are members. Such was my experience recently.

Through fellowship in the Body I went with a brother and enjoyed the Lord's economical Spirit out poured upon us for the fellowship, blending and training. Right from the start, every messages were anointed and the speaking were truly of the Lord. Inward feelings of life and peace confirmed it and the saints' responses to the speaking testified it. There were no musical attractions nor vocalists to stir up people's emotion, and no charismatic preachers to charm the crowed; what we had was the WORD, the SPIRIT and PRAYER. Word by word, utterance by utterance, the Lord ministered Himself richly. I was fed, so too were the saints. And the messages chosen were timely and released at the right time. The Lord was sovereign. Hallelujah!

Every morning, we brothers, prayed together in one accord on our knees, often with tears. Whenever we stood to minister the Word, rivers of living water came forth, supplying the saints; nourishing and cherishing them. O what a blessing!

The outward inconvenient circumstances only helped in the exercise of our spirit to draw out more waters from the inward wells of living waters.  Revivals of the glorious past are no more history, but now they are inward realities when we are joined and fitly framed in the Body. For there is the anointing oil poured forth.

Lord preserve us in the Body; in the oneness of the Body and in the fellowship of the Body, and to enjoy Your anointing.
