 the recording will start soon and the recording has started. Welcome. Okay, let's just take a moment to pray and then we will get going. So, who wants to pray with us together? Shri Kumar, why don't you pray? We'll get started please. Yes, Pastor. Oh, loving Father, we thank you and praise you for this wonderful day. Lord Master, we bless your holy name and Father, we thank you for your divine grace and for your divine love, which is flowing in each one of our life for God, Master. Father, we pray that Father, strengthen your servant, Lord Master, anoint his tank in such a way. Father, every word which is going to come out from his mouth, let it be filled with the deep revelation and wisdom and Lord Master and divine understanding and prepare each one of our hearts so that we can be able to receive it. Lord Master, hold on that revelation and let me deeply root it in that revelation so that we can be a mighty testimony, a powerful vessel for your kingdom, so that Father, wherever we go, let your kingdom manifest through our life. Let your kingdom manifest through our ministry. Let science wonders miracles happen, O God. Let we never do the ministry in the natural understanding. Let we do the ministry in the spiritual and godly understanding of God. Bless each one of us with your divine wisdom and revelation. We humble ourselves for God. Lord, remove every doubts from our heart. Strengthen each one of us. All the glory on our end, praises belong to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, everyone. All right, so welcome to this class on Keys to Supernatural Ministry. Last week we attempted or we just started off on key number five. Just to quickly review, we are in section two. We are talking about these eight keys that I want to talk about for Supernatural Life Administration. We're covering these eight keys. Then we're going to talk about personal preparation. How do we prepare ourselves? And then we talk about continuing the section four. We're talking about continuing in the pursuit of the supernatural. So in doing these eight keys, we talked about key number one, understanding the realm of the spirit. Key number two is faith. Key number three is the power of the word. Key number four is the renewed mind. And we were talking about the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Key number five. So the miracles that supernatural takes place because of the anointing, which is when we say the anointing, it's simply the presence. Charles, your question is, was the key and uploaded? No, it's still locked. We will upload it. I will upload the document and just have to type it out. I have my outline with me, but I will expand that and share it with you. So key number five, the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So what we are saying is miracles happen. The supernatural happens because of the anointing. And the anointing simply is the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit expressed through the life of the believer. And last week, we were just trying to establish a little difference between the indwelling presence and the presence upon or the anointing upon. We have seen already that you've learned in your Holy Spirit class that when Jesus ministered, he ministered under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit is upon him to empower him to minister and to do the works he did. So today, in talking about the anointing, I want to just cut a zero. We could talk about the anointing a whole lot. We could probably do an entire course on the anointing of the Holy Spirit. But I want to zero in on certain things that you and I need to understand to see the supernatural released through us because or by the anointing. So the anointing, we said, is the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit released through us to cause the work of God to take place, whether it's a healing, whether it's a deliverance, whatever the need of the people is, the work of God will take place. The anointing is released. Some important things to understand about the anointing. Charles, I will share this document afterwards again. First is the anointing flows normally, normally. The anointing flows through us, aligned to the gift and the grace God has placed on us. So understand the anointing, that is the work and the ministering, the power of the Holy Spirit is released through each one of us, aligned to the gift and the grace God has placed in us. So you can think about God's grace on your life and God's gifting on your life as conduit or a channel through which the anointing is going to be expressed or released. Okay, normally. Now, so what do you mean by that? Yeah, you know, so we have so many different people here on the on the call. Each one of us, God has graced each one of us and gifted each one of us differently. Right. So example, let's say if somebody here is called graced and gifted by God in the area of worship or music, that's the grace and the gift of God on your life is a conduit through which the anointing is going to be expressed. Why? Because God put that grace and God gave you that gift. And for that matter, each one of us has been given grace and gift. And we can establish that from scripture that everyone has been given grace, has been given gift or gifts by God. So we're talking about the grace and the gift that's specific to our lives. Now, for instance, the gifts of the spirit are available for all of us. All the nine gifts are available to all of us. And so that also becomes a conduit of the expression of the anointing. I'm not talking about the gifts of the spirit. I'm talking about the grace and the gift the God has placed on each one of us, whatever it is, whatever that grace is. So you can intentionally step in to the grace and the gift that's on your life. You can intentionally step into it. You know, you don't need to pray in God, should I do this or not? No. It's a grace on your life. It's always there. It's a gifting on your life. It's always there. You can step into that grace and gift anytime, any place. And when you step into that grace and the gift, what happens? The anointing will begin to flow through that grace and gift. Okay, there are several things that I want us to talk about. So I'm just touching on these one by one. So the first thing is this. The anointing is expressed to the grace and the gift God has placed on your life. Let's use it in plural, right? Graces and gifts because many times God has given us more than one grace, one area of grace and more than one gift. So when you step into your grace and your gift, it is something you can do. What happens? The anointing will begin to flow. So let me just give you a scripture on this Ephesians chapter 3. So let's try to understand these things so that we will learn how to release and minister the anointing to people. So we don't question the power of the anointing. We know it's the anointing that breaks the yoke. We know it's the anointing that will cause healing and deliverance, whatever the work of God. So we are learning, okay, how do I make myself available to the anointing so that the anointing of God, which is the work of the Holy Spirit and flow through my life, here's one key or here's one important key. It's the grace and gift. So let's go Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 7. Please, somebody could read that. Yes, Master. Ephesians 3 verse 7 says, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of his power. Amen. Paul is talking about his own life and ministry. And sorry, this is Ephesians 3. Paul said he's talking about his own ministry. He says, I became minister. He became a minister of the gospel. But how was he ministering? According to the gift of grace, gift of grace of God, which was given to him. So God gave him the gift and the grace. So God has given each one of us gifts, graces. I'm using it in plural because, you know, usually it's more than one in all of our lives. But the gift and the grace is made effective by how the working of his power, that is the work of the Holy Spirit, that is the flow of the power of the Holy Spirit. So for all of us, I want to encourage you, first simple thing, to express the anointing manifestly, flow in your areas of gift and grace. Just step into it. So that part is what is a human part. It's what you can do and you can do it anytime. So example, if you're a teacher, if you are, you know, whether you're whatever teaching, whether you're teaching the Bible, you're teaching something else, you know, that's your gift. If you are, if you can help people, you serve people in compassion, that's an area. You're ministering to people's service, that's an area. So, or you are, you know, so God has called it to be generous, generosity is a certain thing that's working in your life, that's an area. But through your area of gift and grace, as you just intensely step into it, there's going to be the effective working of his power. There's going to be the flow of the anointing of the Holy Spirit aligned to the gift and the grace of God in your life. And every time you step in intentionally into your gift and grace, because God gave it to you and you step in to serve people, you step into minister to people, with that gift and grace, there will be the flow of his power through your life. Now, just a corollary or a flip side is this, that we shouldn't necessarily try to step into a grace or a gift that is not given to us, you know, I mean, there may be occasions, God again, because God's a supernatural God, he's not limited. Sometimes you'll enable you to step into something that is not there. But that's, you know, that is God's prerogative, that means he would move you in something like that temporarily. But normally don't try to imitate somebody else's gift and grace, because there will not be the effective working of his power. You move in your gift and grace, because God is uniquely gifted and graced all of us. So you need to know, this is my gift and grace, I can move on it and I know the power of God will flow. There'll be the effective working of his power. And I see Sri Kumar's question, the answer to that is yes, we can grow in our gift and we can grow in our grace. And as you grow, so that brings us to a related truth, as you grow in your gift and as you grow in your grace, you will also grow in your anointing. So people ask, how can I grow in the anointing? Well, this is one key. You grow in your grace, you grow in your gift, you will grow in the anointing. So you can imagine, this is just pictorial, right? You can imagine that your grace and gift is the conduit, the channel. So let's say when we start out, we are usually, you know, the conduit is narrow and small, we're just understanding our grace and our gift. And so there's a certain measure of anointing flowing. But as you, as you grow in your grace and you grow in your gifting, you can imagine that the conduit is becoming bigger. So there's a more greater release of the anointing through your gift and grace, right? So again, scriptures on that, Ephesians chapter four, verse seven talks about the measure. Well, let me type this out. Ephesians four or seven. Oh, I felt it wrong. Anyway, Ephesians four or seven talks about the measure of Christ's gift. That means there are different measures of the same gift, right? There is grace and gift given to us. There are different measures of grace and gift on our lives. We can grow in grace. You know, the Bible talks about 2 Peter 3 18 grow in grace. James says, but there is more grace available, right? Let me give you. So we said 2 Peter 3 18 grow in grace. So you can increase in grace and James four and verse six. He gives more grace. So there is more grace available. Okay. I'm just typing. So Ephesians four, seven talks about the measure of the gift. So there are different measures of the gift. You can grow increase in the measure of your gift. You can also increase in grace. There is more grace available. Right. So a simple way to grow in grace and the gift is to use it. So the more you exercise the gift or the gifts and the more you exercise the grace God has put on your life, you are going to grow in that grace and you're going to grow in that gift. And there will be an increased measure of anointing, increased measure of the expressions of that anointing through our lives. Okay. So first truth about the anointing that you want to understand is this. The anointing flows aligned to the gift and the grace of God on our lives. We can step into that gift and grace intentionally at any time, any place. And as you begin to step in and act on the work or move in that grace and gift on your life, you can expect the anointing to flow. You can grow in your area of gift and grace and you grow in your area of gift and grace by just using and exercising more and more. And as you do it, you'll find greater measures of God's anointing being released through your life. Now, the second key to the anointing is this. The anointing always accompanies the word. The anointing always accompanies the word or you could say this. The anointing and the word are inseparable. Right. The anointing, the word of God are inseparable or the word is anointed by the spirit. And you'll find many scriptures in this in John 6 and 63. Jesus said, the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. So you're saying the words I speak to you, Jesus is saying the words I speak to you, they are spirit or they are actually bringing in the Holy Spirit. So the anointing and the word are inseparable. That's the second truth that we must understand in relation to the anointing. The anointing and the word are inseparable. And what does that mean? How do we practice it? It means this, that when we open our lives to the word of God, to more of the word, we are positioning ourselves to more of the anointing. When we act on the word, anointing will be expressed. So the word and the anointing are inseparable. So first, we talked about the anointing, gift and grace. First thing. Second, we're talking about the anointing and the word. So this is accessible for all of us. The first one, which we mentioned is, is, is, is acceptable to all of us, but it's different for all of us because it's different. There's a different, different areas of grace and anointing and you flow in whatever God has given you. The second one is accessible for all of us. And it's the same. It's the word. We're talking about the written word. Okay. So the written word is accessible for all of us. And the anointing of the word are inseparable. And so when you and I devote ourselves to more of the word, we are opening ourselves to more of the anointing. When you and I act on the word, we are opening ourselves to the flow of the anointing. Okay. It's a very simple truth, but we must understand that. So when you act on the word, you can expect the release of the anointing, the work and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says the spirit and the word are in agreement. You know, first John five and verse seven, the spirit and the word are in agreement. So whenever you're acting on the word, you are positioning yourself for a release of the anointing. So in the second truth that we are sharing, how can we increase in the anointing by increasing in our engagement with the word? Now I have to qualify that because when I say engagement with the word, it's not just about an intellectual study of the word. Because there are people who might engage with the Bible from an intellectual perspective, or a literary perspective. Okay, I want to know what this book is from that, but they're not actually engaging with the spirit and the life of the word. They're engaging with the letter of the word, maybe with the literary style of the word or the historical information in the word, or the subject matter of the word, whatever. But when you and I engage with the word, the spirit and the life of the word, we're opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit, the anointing. And then when we act on that word, when you say Holy Spirit, so this is again available to all of us, whatever that word is, when you act on it, the Holy Spirit is there. The anointing will flow when you act on that word that you have engaged with in the spirit and the life of that word. Okay, so this is why in the second aspect, this is why it's important for you and me to just meditate in the word. So if we want, so I'm getting practical now, okay, if we want to see example, the prophetic, more of the prophetic flowing through us, engage with the prophetic scriptures. You know, you read the scriptures that talk about God speaking to man and through man. You read about the prophetic experiences of people in the Bible, the Old Testament, New Testament. You just meditate in it. You go to those things, those passages, and you meditate in those passages. If you want to grow in the healing, you meditate in the healing miracles in the Bible. If you want to grow in the other kinds of miracles, you know, the miracles that affect nature, the miracles that affect situations, circumstances, finances, what do you do? You engage, meditate in the word on those miracles because the anointing and the word go together. And as you soak in the spirit and the life of those of that word, you and I, we are making ourselves, or we are positioning ourselves to be conduits of the anointing to cause that word to take place when we act on that word. So did we understand these two points? The first one is the anointing flows through the gift and the grace God's put on us. Second, the anointing accompanies the word. But I'm just talking about the practical, how do you apply it? Is that, did you all understand it? Okay, Charles, your question, please. Yeah, I kindly pass the, repeat, oh shed more light on the practical part, the one that you have just concluded. So that we, you know, these things are big and deep. So sometimes it takes us time to digest. Thank you. Yeah, I will do that. Shikama, what was your question? Thank you, pastor. Pastor, this is related to the gifts only. I just want to know that when we, when we, as you said about meditate, if you want to sharpen the gift of the prophetic, to meditate on the, you know, prophetic scriptures, I just want to know that is it also, when you meditate on this, can, can we also sharpen the, sharpen the gifts of visions when we, when we meditate on the gift of prophetic? Why am I asking you this? Because sometimes when I pray, my visions are very clear. Sometimes it is blurred. So I always have a confusion that why this is happening, like sometimes why it is very blurred and I'm not able to see it. I have to try to understand what is, what I'm seeing. But sometimes it is very clear. So I just, I am always in a doubt that why it is happening. So I just thought, okay, I will put across this question when we are discussing on the spiritual gifts. Thank you, pastor. Yes. So the answer to your question is yes. That there been you and I are engaging with the word that's meditating. I can use the word meditate or engage with the word on the prophetic and what we're seeing in the scriptures on the prophetic. It's going to sharpen our prophetic faculties. That means the ability for our abilities to see here and feel the Holy Spirit. Right. So remember in the prophetic, our ability, our spirit faculties, faculties of our spirit are important. The faculties of our spirit to see here and feel because Holy Spirit is communicating through those faculties. So as we spend time in the word, our ability to see here and feel is sharpened. Now, let me put it like this. Okay. I'll give you a simple example. Let's see if this helps. I'll give you, now I'm typing a formula, but don't think I am, I'm reducing God to a formula. That's not what I intend, but I'm just doing this to explain. Okay. So revelation depends on two things, perception and illumination. That's when we receive revelation. That means we are seeing something. We otherwise don't see. Perception is our ability to see. Illumination is what the Holy Spirit gives, the light he gives. Okay. So now think about two scenarios. If my perception is zero, but I come into a room where it's fully illuminated, but my perception is zero, there will be no revelation. Not because there is no illumination, the Holy Spirit is giving the illumination, but my perception, my ability to see is zero. So I still, oh God is not revealing anything to me. Now, when I say perception, remember, you know, it's more than sight, you know, we see here and feel. So all of that is perception. I'm just using sight as an example. But on the other hand, if my perception is sharp, that means I can see and feel, but we will have revelation only when there is illumination, only when the Holy Spirit is showing something, shedding light. So the Holy Spirit is not showing anything. Okay. There won't be any revelation, even if my perception is sharp. But if my perception is sharp and the Holy Spirit is showing something, we will have revelation. Engaging with the Word sharpens our perception, our ability to see here and feel, right? Hebrews 5 says, you know, as we engage with the Word, our senses are exercised to discern. Good and evil. So as we feed ourselves with the Word, we've been nourishing ourselves. So again, I want to say it's not just an intellectual pursuit of the Word, but it's engaging with the spirit and life of the Word. What happens? Our senses are exercised to discern. That means our perception is increased. Or if you want to, I think I'm getting a little off track, but I'll just, you know, just get our attention to this. If you go with me to John chapter 8, and we look at verse 43 and 47, that's very interesting. He just says here, John 8, 43, Jesus is telling these Pharisees, Jews, why do you not understand my speech? Because you are not able to listen to my Word. Then he says the Word, verse 47, Hughes of God hears God's words. Therefore, you do not hear because you're not of God. Now, what is he saying? He's saying, look, of course, of course they were hearing him in the natural, right? They were having conversation. They're talking. So naturally, in the natural, they are hearing his words, but they are missing something. Verse 43, they're not understanding. Verse 47, they are not hearing God. They're listening to his words. Of course, you know, he's having conversation with the Jews, they're talking, but they're not able to understand. That means get the meaning of what he's saying, and they're not hearing God. Why? Why? Because of that lack of spiritual perception. They're not connected in the spiritual. So when we spend time in the Word, our ability to connect in the spiritual increases, and therefore it increases the prophetic expressions or revelation that comes. Is it okay? Yes, sir. Okay. All right. So going back to what Charles requested. So the anointing and the Word go together. They float together. So the more we engage with the Spirit and the life of the Word, the more we are positioning ourselves to be channels or conduits of the anointing. And then we act on that Word. The anointing will be released. So what do we do? We spend, we engage with the Word. That's we meditate and we engage with the Spirit and life of the Word. And what I was saying was, you engage with the healing miracles in the Bible. Old and New Testament. You engage with the prophetic. Old and New Testament. You engage with other miracles. Old and New Testament. You meditate on it. You receive the Spirit and life of those scriptures. So we're not just, you know, like we said here, in Jesus being the Jews, you're not just listening, you're not just looking at the Word, but you're wanting to understand. You're wanting to hear God through that Word, right? That means spiritually you're engaging. You meditate in it. And that prepares you and me to express the anointing that comes through that Word. So more of the prophetic or more of the healing or more of the miracles will be expressed through us as we engage with the Word in that manner. Okay? So you just take time to meditate, to engage with the Word, because you know that the anointing of the Word flow together. So that's the second way for us to grow, to express and to grow in the anointing in our lives. Then there is also the aspect of consecration. We will talk about it in personal preparation, right? In the next section we talk about personal preparation that the anointing is related to consecration before God. And you can look at it from various angles, various ways, various ways. One is the typical way to look at it as a vessel, right? As a vessel. So the more empty the vessel is, the more full it can be of God, right? The more empty I am of myself, the more full I can be of God. That's consecration, right? So the third practical thing to be a conduit of the anointing is consecration. I'll just mention it here. We'll deal with the consecration more in the third section when we talk about personal preparation for the supernatural. So the anointing is the expression of the power of the Holy Spirit. It flows aligned to the gift and grace in our lives. It flows to the degree of the Word of God in our lives. As we engage with the Word, you'll have more expression of the anointing. And so we intensely go and spend more time in the Word. Sometimes we're too busy, then you will see the expressions diminish. But sometimes you spend more time in that Word and there will be more expressions of the anointing. Some of the other things that I want to talk about is this, that there are different measures of the anointing. That means we can increase in the level of anointing flowing through our lives. There are times you'll find that the anointing is flowing, but it's not at the same level as maybe at other times when, you know, we've done a little bit more of preparation. We've spent a little bit more time in prayer and so on. And there's a greater flow of the anointing. The degree of the anointing that is expressed depends both on the person ministering but also on the expectation of the people. If the people are expecting, are expectant, you'll have a greater expression of the anointing. So if you have two situations where you've done the same amount of preparation, but in one situation, people are not very expectant. They're just, okay, come on, let's get done with the service, we'll go or you get done with your prayer, I'll go. But you're in another situation, the same preparation, but the people are expectant. They want. When I say people, it could be an individual, it could be a congregation. It doesn't matter. But the people are pulling on, God, are pulling on. The expectation is more. What will happen? You've done the same preparation, but the manifestation of the anointing will be greater than the expectation level is greater. So what must we do? We must encourage the expectation of people. But we have to do it without hype and fancy. Nowadays, sometimes there's too much of hype. People unnecessarily stir up the emotions of people and make all kinds of statements. The intent is, let's raise their expectation. But sometimes in an effort to do that, it ends up in a place that is not nice. So we have to balance it. Be careful. Encourage people, but don't hype things up. Because we do understand, we do know that expectation plays. The expectation of the individual or the people plays a big part in the expression of the anointing. The more expectant people are, the more of the anointing that will flow towards people. So we encourage their expectations. Believe God that he will do things today. You minister the word to build up faith. Do it in a proper way. Don't do it in a hyped up way. And don't do it in a way that is focused on the individual. Do it in a way that is focused on Jesus Christ. Because the individual can change. Today it can be you tomorrow. It can be somebody else. The after tomorrow could be another person. The individual can change. But if the faith of the people is in Jesus and in what he is able to do, then they will expect regardless of the individual. But expectation is important in the activation of the anointing. So there are different measures of the anointing. The measure of anointing that's demonstrated depends both on the preparation and the expectation of the people, both in this way. So how do we grow in the anointing? We grow through our preparation. That is, we continue to exercise the gift and the grace. We continue to engage with God through his word. We continue to increase in our levels of consecration before God. And so we can grow in the anointing. Now, related to the anointing is this whole aspect of the impartation of the anointing. That means we do our preparation, we encourage expectation. But there's also this aspect of the element of impartation. What is impartation? It means God transferring into your life something that he has placed on somebody else. And there are so many things, but there are truths that we need to understand about impartation. Impartation is not an arbitrary thing. That means we can't just randomly lay hands with people and say, take a double measure of my anointing or this and that. It doesn't happen like that. If that was the case, we could all lay hands on each other and keep multiplying exponentially the anointing in our lives. It's not like that. A few things about impartation. Usually the impartation is also aligned to the gift and grace that's in your life. Usually. I say usually because there are times we can never put God in a box. There are times God will do something unusual and unexpected. But the norm is the impartation of the anointing is also aligned to the gift and grace that's on your life, the gift and calling on your life. So if there is somebody who is anointed as a worship leader, you are not called to be a worship leader. There's no point in going to that person and saying pray for me that I'll get a worship leader anointing. It's not going to work. At most it will be like Saul's experience in the Old Testament. In 1 Samuel chapter 10 we read about King Saul. I mean he was not king at that time. But he went to meet Samuel. Saul was not a prophet. He was going to be anointed king. He was not a prophet. He went to meet Samuel looking for his donkeys. Samuel said, look your father's donkeys have already been found. Go home. On the way you'll meet a group of the prophets and the spirit of them will come on you. So it records that Saul on his way, he met a group of the prophets. They were prophets. He was not. But when he came into them the company, he began to prophesy. He became changed into another man. So people thought Saul also become a prophet. But it was only a temporary thing. He came under the influence of the prophetic anointing at that moment and he prophesied. He was changed into another man. But it was a temporary thing because you don't find him being a prophet the rest of his life. Why? He was not called to be a prophet. That was not the grace on his life. He was going to be anointed king. Just an example. So impartation is also normally aligned to the gift and the call on grace of God on your life. Second impartation normally takes place through association. That means as you engage with another minister of God who has a certain grace and a gift and anointing, impartation takes place. There will be the rare occasions when somebody random, you know, you may meet somebody for five minutes and they lay hands on you and something is imparted to you. God can do that and he does that. But that's not the norm. The norm is and you associate when you engage, you receive. That's what we see in the life of Moses and Joshua and the others. That's what we see in the case of Elijah and Elisha. There was association, right? That means they engage with them. And, you know, of course you can engage even from a distance or whatever. But there was that kind of an association which then caused the anointing to be transferred. Third thing must keep on and understand, understand impartation is usually impartation happens in a measure. There are times there is a double measure, but usually it's a measure. It's a certain aspect of the anointing that's imparted. So we saw this last time. There's a certain aspect of Moses anointing that is given to the 70. Moses was prophet and miracle worker and all of that. But when the anointing was transferred to the 70 leaders, it was the wisdom that was given to them so that they could also govern. They didn't become prophets. They didn't become miracle workers. Same thing with Joshua. It says the spirit of wisdom was given to Joshua. That means a certain aspect of Moses anointing was transferred to Joshua. It wasn't everything. Joshua did not become a copy of Moses, but he walked in the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So usually in the transfer of anointing, there's a certain aspect that is transferred. There may be times when a full measure or a double measure is transferred, but the norm is a certain aspect is transferred. So is transfer of anointing real? Yes it is, but we must understand how the dynamics of transfer for anointing. But that does enhance our lives. That does enhance our lives. And last point I want to say as far as the anointing ultimately everything we receive comes from God, not the individual. God may use an individual to bring about an impartation, but that anointing doesn't come from the individual. It comes from God because a man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from God. And everything that is received even through transfer has to be developed. Paul told Timothy stir up the gift of God that is in you, which was given to you through the laying on of hands. That means even though something was given, it was neglected. It had to be developed. So impartation is not an automatic step into a higher realm. It's something that God has placed in the body, but we must understand the dynamics that is involved. Ultimately it comes back to the same thing. It comes back to God working in our lives, aligned to his gift and grace, the anointing flowing through our lives, aligned to our engagement with his word, right? And the anointing being expressed in response to the expectation of people, in response to our preparation and people's expectation, the anointing will flow. Okay, so I've tried to condense like maybe 40 hours of teaching on the anointing into like these quick nuggets. I hope you've kind of got all of that. And you will take it and you'll feed on it. But this is an important part of how the anointing flows through our lives, so that the work of God can take place. Okay, so what we want to do lastly, which we'll pick up, we'll spend one more session is a little bit more time is administering the anointing. Okay, that means the anointing is flowing. How do I help people receive the anointing? How do I administer it so that a miracle can take place? And I've in that process you must also understand the roadblocks, the hindrances that keep people from receiving the anointing. We'll touch on that next week and I will share with you the notes, the points on the anointing and then we'll move forward. Any questions before we wrap up? Was it clear? Did you all understand? Okay, some of you responded like I see your comments there. Harrison, you have a question before we go. Go ahead, please. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. I'm just looking at, I'm kind of looking at the aspect of gifting and sometimes, you know, where you like, you know, find yourself in doing what you do and it's more like, you know, that's your gifting, but at the end of the day that's not the gifting. And you begin to wonder, okay, who am I really? So my question is, okay, in such situations, you know, where you battle, you know, with your gifting or maybe trying to battle, you know, with identifying your gifting, what are possible ways, you know, you could advise, you know, for want to be able to pay attention in identifying that gifting? Hmm, how do we, what are the some of the possible ways in which you can identify your gift? Two things that come to mind. One is there's a grace in that area. Okay, like we said, grace, gift and power, they're all, they all flow together. And ideally, we have to have them all aligned, grace, gift and power. So gift is the ability and grace is God's, you know, empowering in that sense. And then of course, there's the anointing that flows through with it's God's working through the grace and gift. So for example, in my own life, in my early days, I was never a person who would stand up and speak in front of people. I would, that was not, I was not by nature, I'm not an extrovert. I'm not a person who'd go and talk and, you know, do that. I'm just a quiet person. If you leave me alone, I'll just quietly do my thing. I was not the person to stand up in front of people and talk. That's not, that was never a quote unquote gift in my life. Never. Yeah. But suddenly, you know, when I, after I got saved and got filled with the Holy Spirit, it just happened. I just had the, I just had the courage to stand in front of people and start talking, whether it's an individual or in front of my classroom, in front of my school, and just, there was no fear. There was no, you know, anything that, now till that time, I was not the person who would stand up in front of anybody and talk. Something changed. And so how did I recognize that gift? Because there was grace to do it. So I would say, you know, is there a grace in that area? Second, I would say, is look for the fruit. It's a grace, and then there's a fruit. That means, okay, you do something. You know, you try out, you're trying out something. Is there a grace, the enabling to do it? Secondly, is there fruit coming out of it? Are our lives impacted positively? Lives being touched positively? You know, then you know, okay, this is something God's, God is at work in this area. So, but if I'm trying to do something, and it's such a big struggle, then there is no grace. And if I'm trying to do something, and you know, it doesn't impact people, there is no fruit. Then I would start to question, you know, maybe there is no gift in this area. Is that okay, Harrison? Did I help in some way? Yes, thank you very much. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions before we go? All right, so we have a few more things on, on 19, we'll cover next week, and then we'll move forward with other aspects, okay? Let's just close in prayer, and we will dismiss. Could somebody pray with us as a class and dismiss us? Go ahead, Harrison. Oh, Heavenly Father, we thank you, and we bless your name. I, I come before your throne, I come before your throne of grace, and I come before your people, and I come before your pastor, your servant whom you've used to speak to us this morning, this afternoon, this evening, to say, Father, we're grateful, we're, we're thankful for for your revelation, we're thankful for revealing Jesus to us, because this is the best thing that can ever happen to us, this is the best thing that can ever happen to our lives. So, dear Father, we pray, Lord, that we shall not just be hearers of your word, but we shall also be doers of your word. We pray, Father, that you will give us the grace to God to live according to our giftings, to live according to the grace that you have bestowed on us. We pray, Father, that you will help us to God, not to live this life, but go pursuing what you have not designed us for. We pray, Father, that you will help us to God to see you just as you are, to walk in the grace that you have bestowed us on, and that the fruit of God of us being in this world will be fulfilled and seen in the name of Jesus. We thank you, Father, that the word that we've heard today shall not just drop, drop to the floor or drop to the ground, but, Father, we will take up with God this knowledge, you know, we'll take up with God this experience, we'll take up with God this revelation, and begin to do great and mighty things as we see your kingdom expand and your territory of God ago, going towards, you know, all nations and tribes. We thank you, Heavenly Father, because we know that you're raising God's army for yourself, and we thank you because we know that at the end we shall all make heaven. Blessed be your Holy Name, for in Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Thank you, everyone. God bless you all. Have a good rest of the day, and I'll see you again soon. Bye now. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, Harrison. Thank you, everybody.
