Experiences of the Truths

As the proofreading project is going on in Hyderabad, amidst the busy schedule the Lord has been gracing me to enjoy His presence and His speaking day by day. In the past two Lord’s days, I shared my enjoyment of the Lord in the gathering held at the project venue. Two main experiences are related to the anointing Spirit and the living and walking in the divine Trinity.

The Anointing Spirit

Doctrinally, many Christians realized that every genuine believers have the anointing Spirit in his or her spirit. 

“And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know.” (1 John 2:20, RecVer)

“And as for you, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you; but as His anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, abide in Him.” (1 John 2:27, RecVer)

But experiencially how many have truly enjoyed the anointing Spirit in their daily living? The anointing Spirit is in the human spirit of the regenerated believers. But to experience this anointing, there are certain conditions that must be fulfilled. 

Firstly, Christ is the Messiah,  the Annointed One; He is the anointing. We must be under the headship of Christ, the Anointed Head, to enjoy the anointing. Anyone not under the headship of Christ cannot enjoy the Head's anointing. Secondly, the Head Christ and the body the church are one. The Head and the body cannot be separated. The anointing on the Head flows in the body. 

“It is like the fine oil upon the head that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron’s beard, that ran down upon the hem of his garments;” (Psalms 133:2, RecVer)

If we are not one with the body of the Head Christ, we will not experience the anointing. Therefore, we must be one with the Head and one with the Body to enjoy the anointing.

Finally, the anointing oil must not be applied on the flesh. Which means, to enjoy the anointing, we must deal with our flesh through the cross. A fleshly person or even a natural person cannot enjoy the anointing. 

“Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, nor shall you make any like it, according to its composition; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.” (Exodus 30:32, RecVer)

This was the message the Lord gave me to share on the previous Lord’s day. 

Living in the Divine Trinity 

Last Lord’s day, the message was on living in the Divine Trinity. There are three aspects of living in the Divine Trinity. The first aspect is by enjoying Christ as our life supply, by eating Him in the word.

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” (John 6:63, RecVer)

The second aspect is by living Christ by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 

“For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:19-21, RecVer)

I also testified of how the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ has been supplying us, especially, in the ongoing project works amidst many challenges. 

Thirdly, by coming to the throne of grace we receive mercy and find grace for timely help.

“Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.” (Hebrews 4:16, RecVer).

Throne is related to authority and submission. If we are not submitted to His entronement how can we receive His anointing? Therefore, to come to the throne of grace also entails submission to His authority. 

These are the two messages I have been enjoying and I also shared in the last two Lord’s day meetings.

May these experiences be daily unto eternity.
