Do You Know What's In You

By: Ann Stewart

ere is a treasure hidden deep within you that's waiting to be revealed. (2 Cor. 4: 7) If you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour than you have His anointing in you. Christ means Anointing. It is the Holy Spirit, who took up residence in you when you became born again. That is why it is called the second birth.

Adam and Eve were covered with the anointing, or glory of God. They did not need any other kind of covering. Unlike all other animals, who are covered with feathers, fur, wool or scales and the like, they did not need any kind of outward covering. That is, until they disobeyed God. That's when the anointing left them and they realized they were naked!

That anointing was lost forever and cannot be bought, wished, or won back by any religious actions or pious living. In the Old Testament it was powerfully displayed after the Lord showed His Glory to Moses on Mt. Sinai. When he got back down, his face radiated so much that the people were afraid to come near him and he had to cover it with a veil! (Ex. 34: 29 - 35) Alas, that glory did not last. It was a reflection of an outward glory.

God bestowed his anointing on many Hebrew people, mainly the prophets. But again, that anointing would come on them for a time and a purpose. But now you can receive the anointing by acknowledging the only One who could restore it. Do you know Him? If you do, are you aware of the awesome anointing that is in you?

Moses did not realize his face was so radiant until he saw the fear of the people and was told about it. Is your light shining brightly?

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor. 3: 18)

The closer you walk with God and observe His Commandments and come to know Him through His Word, the more you will be like him, and it will show outwardly. People will be drawn to you and want what they see in you!

Are you still not sure whether or not you have, or even deserve, such anointing? Then meditate on this:

"we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead; who delivered us from so great a death… Who hath also sealed us, and given the [witness] of the Spirit in our hearts." (2 Cor. 1: 9; 10; 22)

Yes, the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in you! (Rom. 8: 11) That's awesome! You've got what it takes! You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you! (Rom. 8: 37) Your part, especially in these end times, is to show the world what you've got! Let your light shine brightly in the darkness.

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish." (2 Cor. 2: 14 - 15)
