Turn to someone and say
It’s All About the Spiritual
“On earth as it is in heaven”
We first breakthrough in the spiritual real
Then we see it in the physical realm
Anointing
The Anointing…
enables us to live in the assurance of our needs being met so we can step beyond our abilities and move in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Empowered to share Jesus).
Victory in and through our lives.
Throughout Scripture God has been trying to reconnect with man
Examples
- Loss of relationship in Garden
- Through Abraham-establishes a people unto God
- Moses Burning Bush/ to deliver people in Egypt
- Mt. Sinai in the wilderness
- Through David- begins a Nation
- Through the Prophets of Old Testament
- Through Jesus
- Through the Holy Spirit
- Through the Word of God
Jer 33:3
‘Call to me and I will answer you
The major focus of the enemy is to remove man’s identity
When we lose our identity
We allow the enemy to define us. (social requirements, conformity)
Even our ministry- ( nice- P/C focus on FoS not GoS)
The purpose is to
Redefine & Neutralize
We are looking at 2 aspects of our Ministry
-
Defender
-
Possessor
We began with
Defender
To ward off attack
To guard
To STAND
It’s time to Step up
- Take our position
- Impact our “sphere of influence”
- Live in the victory Christ has given us
Let’s continue
From Defender To Possessor
Stepping into your Anointing
Our Christian foundations are being taken from us
Abortions:
3,000 abortions in USA each day
Marriage redefinition
Schools -Legal rights of parents- sex ed., bathrooms, disclosers
Banning the Bible any literature, counseling which defines Christian values
Physiologist say “Mothers should ask babies permission to change diapers.”
110, 000 condoms given to athletes at Winter Olympics (16 days) 37 condoms for each athlete
Condoms will be issued to Boy Scouts at this Years Jamboree now that girls accepted
“It’s time to Possess”
To Possess
- to…
- acquire
- occupy
- govern
- control
- Scripturally
- “To set the spiritual atmosphere”
(It’s ALL about the Spiritual”)
The enemy wants to redefine

Review
Pt 1 Keys to being a Possessor
-
God’s Word becomes the governing factor
(settles it, final authority)
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Prov 30:5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Ps 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord stands forever.”
-
See situations from God’s perspective
God is sovereign
Not over until God says it’s over
Nothing is impossible with God
Matt 19:26 but with God all things are possible.
Ps 150:2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Ps 50:1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
-
Led by the Spirit
Not circumstances, emotions, life’s trials
Rom 8: 14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Ps 119:60 I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
Ps 40:8 I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
1 John 3:24 Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
-
Live in Freedom
No worries, fears, timidity
Full identity as a child of God
Titus 3:7-8 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed
2 Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
-
Speak Faith
Speaks of life
So much negative talk today
Our words release God or the enemy
Our words can open or tie God’s hands
Our words can bind ourselves and others
Our words can hold back “breakthrough”
2 Cor 4:13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak
2 Cor 4:13 in the Scriptures it says, “I spoke because I had faith.” We have that same kind of faith. So we speak (CEV)
-
Posture for the Anointing
Living in expectancy
Expecting God to show up
Christian advantage
But God…
1 Sam 26:23 The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness
Heb 11:6 He must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him

Our weapons in
spiritual warfare
2 Cor 10:3-5
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
