SOAKED
Jesus has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us. However, Christians talk about feeling the presence of God versus not feeling the presence of God. What does this mean? To further extend the idea, Jesus talks about a concept called “the anointing.” The word “anointing” refers to God’s Spirit and means He will “rub on or pour over” us with powerful presence. In this new series SOAKED we will discover practical applications of God’s present anointing, what it is and how to activate it at home, in relationships, for breakthrough and so much more. We will see how there are nine different expressions, or manifestations, that God desires to express in our daily lives. Yet, God wants us to be sober, in knowing we have responsibility to activate; and activation is not about moral or hyper-spiritual standards. Anybody and everybody can access this amazing place with God. You aren’t going to want to miss a Sunday. Invite a friend and come see us!
A relationship that is not experienced is really not a relationship at all! Let's take a dive in the deep end and get soaked.
TODAY’S MESSAGE 1 JOHN 2:20, 27 NKJV But you have an ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things. ... 27 But the ANOINTING which you have received from Him ABIDES IN YOU … and you will ABIDE IN HIM.
Anointing = “rub on or pour over”
ANOINTED WITH WHAT? LUKE 4:18 NKJV (Jesus said) The SPIRIT OF THE LORD [is] upon Me, because He has ANOINTED Me…
ACTS 10:38 NKJV (Peter said) … how God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and WITH POWER, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
The presence of God – His Spirit –
is rubbed on, poured over and abides in the believer!

THE INCREDIBLE VALUE OF GOD WITH US! HEBREWS 13:5-6 NKJV …for God Himself has said, "I will NEVER LEAVE YOU nor FORSAKE YOU." 6 So we may BOLDLY say: "The LORD [is] my helper; I WILL NOT FEAR. What can man do to me?"
JOHN 16:6-7 NKJV [Jesus said] But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to YOUR ADVANTAGE that I go away; for if I do not go away, THE HELPER will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
JOHN 14:16-20 NKJV [Jesus said] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another HELPER (Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby) , that He may ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER-- 17 the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees HIM nor knows HIM; but you know HIM, for HE dwells WITH YOU and will be IN YOU.
1 JOHN 4:4 NKJV You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, than he that is in the world.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 NKJV And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will DWELL IN them and WALK AMONG [them] (KJV “IN THEM”). I will be their God, And they shall be My people."
OLD TESTAMENT VERSUS NEW TESTAMENT ANOINTING MATTHEW 27:51 NKJV Then, behold, the VEIL OF THE TEMPLE was TORN IN TWO from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split…
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 NKJV [Paul said] Or do you not know that YOUR BODY is the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT [who is] IN YOU, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 AMP Do you not know that your body is the TEMPLE (THE VERY SANCTUARY) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD! EPHESIANS 3:19 AMP [That you may really come] to know [practically, THROUGH EXPERIENCE for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [WITHOUT EXPERIENCE]; that you may be FILLED [through all your being] unto ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD [may have the RICHEST MEASURE OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE, and become A BODY WHOLLY FILLED AND FLOODED WITH GOD HIMSELF]!
IF WE ARE ANOINTED, THEN WHY? -
Why do we pray for God to be “with us?”
-
Why do we pray for God to “visit us?”
-
Why do we pray for God to “come by here, Lord, come by here?”
-
Why do we pray for power?
-
Why do we pray for God to “touch us?”
-
Why do we pray God would “revive us?”
IF THIS IS TRUE – WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I’M DISTANT (WILDERNESS)? -
We must BELIEVE FIRST, not experience first
-
We ACTIVATE the brain’s “experience” CIRCUITS
-
Imagine and arouse feelings of His acceptance
-
Imagine and arouse feelings of His delights
-
Imagine and arouse feelings of shamelessness
-
Imagine and arouse feelings of wisdom
-
Imagine and arouse feelings of power
