"FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM"
Men, in my last post, I wrote briefly about the fragrance, power, and refreshing life that accompanies the anointing of the Holy Spirit. King David knew this blessing in his life. King Saul also knew this blessing until the presence of the Lord departed from him.
David was very repentant for his sin with Bathsheba and in Psalm 51:10, 11 he earnestly prayed that God would not take His Holy Spirit from him. David highly regarded and respected the anointing that God gave to him in order to perform the duties of his calling life. In the same way, we men, and fathers, should also highly honor the anointing that God has for each one of us in order to accomplish all that God wants to do in our lives.
Acts 10:38 says:"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." During Jesus life on earth, God wanted the people to know that "GOD WAS WITH HIM."
The question is this: Does not God want this world, and of course our immediate families, to also know that God is with us, just as He was with His beloved Son?
I firmly believe that God still requires evidence that "God is with us." There are still multitudes that are oppressed of the devil, multitudes that need to be set free from all types of sickness and disease, and multitudes that are not born again by the Spirit of God. Men, we must covet the presence of God to be manifested in our lives to the point that others cannot help but recognize it. His presence should be very obvious. No one should ever have to take a microscope to see if there is any evidence of God's anointing in our lives.
Be encouraged.
