The Unction to Function

 But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially gifted and prepared by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us, illuminates our minds, and guards us from error]. 1 John 2:20 AMP

When the Apostle John left Jerusalem, he settled in Ephesus and wrote 3 letters to the churches in Asia. He gives an explanation that Jesus Christ came to offer eternal life.  

His first letter tells us how to know, experience and behave so that we may have eternal life. He says those who are confident in their relationship with God will experience His Anointing through unity with Jesus Christ.  For each believer is gifted with anointing from the God. 

So you must be sure to keep the message burning in your hearts; that is, the message of life you heard from the beginning. If you do, you will always be living in close fellowship with the Son and with the Father. 1 John 2:24 TPT 

Here we have two separate books within the Word of God by two separate authors, first John and now Paul both claiming the Spirit of God is established and confirmed in our fellowship with Christ.

This is our anointing given by God through His Holy Spirit. 

Now it is God who establishes and confirms us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has anointed us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 1 Corinthians 1:21 AMP

My Friend, the unction to function in the anointing of God works within the framework of our obedience. 

God is more interested in our character than our comfort. 

He is raising up a generation that will do what He says in the correct way, which will achieve His objective and bring glory to Him—not build up our own egos. 

In these last days, we must be people of integrity, honesty, and humility. We must go beyond just knowing the principles of the kingdom; we must also know the King—His will, His ways . . . His very heartbeat. And again, this is possible because we have “an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things” (1 John 2:20, KJV). The Lord Himself enables us to possess a knowledge of the truth, because He is the living Word.

Isaiah 10:27 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” 

The anointing is the power of God at work in your life to remove burdens and destroy yokes. The anointing is tangible, therefore it is transferable. The woman with the issue of blood discovered this when she touched the border of Jesus’ garment and was made whole. This same anointing resided in Moses’ rod, in Elisha’s bones, in Peter’s shadow and in Paul’s handkerchiefs and aprons. Jesus said He was anointed to preach, to heal, to deliver, and to set free—and so are you when you abide in Christ.

The first time I experienced the anointing of God was in 2023 at a woman’s conference in Spokane, Washington. We were all worshiping the Lord and as the worship team sang, I felt the power of God being ushered into the crowded auditorium of about 650 woman, all singing and praises God. 

I am here to tell you, in His Glory there are no limits.

Open Heavens and Glory Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name (Psalm 100:4 NKJV).

The air is the atmosphere of the Earth, glory is the atmosphere of
Heaven. It lifts us up above the earth realm into the very presence of God.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge (Psa.19:1-2). 

However, we are told in 2 Corinthians that we will not visit with Glory beyond our own revelation no matter if we are alone or in a corporate setting.

The Lord wants His children to understand how His Glory operates and manifests on the earth through our Praise and Worship [our worship is seeking him in our secret place of prayer]. We must come into agreement or seek the revelation of the power of God for our lives.

Since that time, I have seen incredible things happen as a result of the anointing, which always comes to set the captives free from whatever has them bound.

Wow -right! God releases His unction, and when we obey and flow in the anointing, miracles happen! 

If we believe God is still in the miracle-working business, allow Him to move in, among and through you. There will be no limits to what He will do as we continue the work of Jesus, preaching the gospel to the poor, healing the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, and setting at liberty those who are oppressed. 

I say to you: God has a lot of work for you to do. 

Are you ready to obey God and use the supernatural gifts He’s given you when He releases His unction in your spirit? 

I urge you to say, Yes to the Lord today! Ask to be Shown by The Holy Spirit to walk in the power of God and his ordained anointing.

If we remain in Christ and follow His Teachings we will be protected by God and we can do his works when we abide in Christ. We abide in Christ as follows:

  1. Remain loyal by fellowshipping with God who is light
  2. Confess our sins to God
  3. Testify that Jesus is the Word of God, Son of God and God in the flesh.
  4. Love God with all your heart and mind, love his people
  5. Abide in Christ and He will abide in you.
  6. Know and experience God personally through His Holy Spirit.
  7. Work to Discern falsities that you carry & believe that bind your soul to darkness. Pray snd ask the aid of His Holy Spirit. He will help you recognize false prophets and anti-christ spirits.  Enjoy eternal life by walking in the Spirit every day.
