Watch the vid below by Steve Mcvey, Christian Religion Lie #46: “We Need A Fresh Anointing“ and my comments follow…
This lie, like all the lies we’ve covered sounds “good” and religious and like it’s a good goal to have.
But it has a way of changing your thinking… making you believe that you actually need something else — other than JUST Christ.
What is the anointing?
Christ is the anointing.
So when you enter into Him via faith — you have the anointing already — the life of Christ.
1 John 2:20-21 says it like this (The Message, emphasis mine):
“But you belong. The Holy One anointed you, and you all know it. I haven’t been writing this to tell you something you don’t know, but to confirm the truth you do know, and to remind you that the truth doesn’t breed lies.”
Christ IS your anointing… He IS your holiness… and when you entered into Him by accepting His free gift of salvation you received Him into your life — exchanging your old, dead spirit for His life, and now He is your anointing.
Christ’s anointing is sufficient AND everlasting.
So we shouldn’t be seeking a “fresh anointing”. We should be turning to the only anointing that we need — the only anointing that we’ll ever need — the life of Christ that resides in us as Christians.
1 John 2:27 say it like this (emphasis mine, The Message)
“I’ve written to warn you about those who are trying to deceive you. But they’re no match for what is embedded deeply within you—Christ’s anointing, no less! You don’t need any of their so-called teaching. Christ’s anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie. Live deeply in what you were taught.”
So you can see that we don’t need to seek any “fresh anointing”… we don’t need to seek anything other than a deeper relationship with the one who is already in us — Christ and Christ alone.
With Love
