Service 1 - Rev John Avanzini (Anointed Covering)
This message is deeeeep! lol. solid food for the mature disciples ^^
-when a church begins to move frm 20,000 to 50,000 to 100,000, there is a danger:
INSTITUTIONALISM
-The strength of a church shouldnt be from the organisation, but from the ANOINTING of God.
-God has reserved Asia (the East) for the end-time harvest. -> Paul's mission trip to Asia was hindered/not complete.
-Almost everytime, God communicates to man through man.
-Gen 2:15-17 -> 3 steps:
i) God puts Adam IN CHARGE.
ii) God gives Adam INSTRUCTIONS.
iii) God PLACES Eve in the garden with Adam as a SUBORDINATE (helper).
Seed, Time, Harvest is a principle found in the Word. -> God didnt create a garden, God PLANTED a garden. it was God's principle right from the beginning!
-Ex 13:1-2, 22:29, Gen 4:1, 25:31-32
-The firstborn is often referred to as the "Anointed one"/the "Chosen one"/the "priest". -> these are the people who are the "Anointed covering(s)'' of your life.
You may be a priest and yet not accept responsibility, or he/she doesnt operate in the power of the ANOINTING.
People with position may not necessarily give respect for the anointing.
-> Respect the anointing! Respect the anointed!
Those with the anointed coverings will have to stand before God one day and give an account of your individual lives. when Eve took the forbidden fruit, God didnt ask her why did she take e fruit, instead, God went straight to Adam. -> Even God respects the covering/the anointed.
-Gen 4:9 -> 'keeper' = ANOINTING
After Cain murdered Abel, God didnt say to cain, "why did you kill abel!?!", instead, God focused on the covering, the firstborn, the anointed/chosen one and said, "Where is your brother Abel?"
-> The covering over our lives, is not only responsible for giving an account to God for us, but also to interceed for us. e.g. our pastors, leaders, etc. -> these are examples of God's anointed, God's chosen (the covering) over our lives.
-Gen 4:15, 2Chr16:22, psm 105:15
The Lord said "if anyone kills Cain, he(abel - God's anointed/chosen; the covering) shall be avenged seven times over"
-That is how important God's people are to Him! -> despite Abel's death, God still had His covering over him. "Touch not my anointed".
Gen 33:12-15
When we are under the RIGHT covering and we RESPECT it, there you will find your destiny.
-We will be blessed under the right covering. -> if we respect God's chosen over our lives.
eph 4:8, 11-12
as long as we are born-again, we are 'full-time' for God, and 'part-time' for everything else.
-Our covering is not just there to make you know something, but to MAKE you something! -> we need a man/woman of God (covering) in our lives.
Anointing is more important than the building, than the instruments, etc.
-Anointing starts from the head (leadership; covering) and runs down the body.
The operation of an anointed man of God is different from the operation of a natural man of the world:
i) the man of God KNOWS things.
-Amos 3:7, psm 103:7
-God reveals His truths/secrets to His most trusted/faithful/obedient/etc servants.
ii) the man of God knows the WAYS of God.
-knowing God doesnt mean you know the WAYS of God.
-someone could say, God told me that this lottery ticket is the prize ticket. -> He may know God but he certainly doesnt know the WAYS of God.
-heb 13:17 -> dont think that we will stand in judgement alone, but with our covering that God has placed in our lives.
iii) the man of God is positive in things that seemed impossible.
-2 kings 6:14-16, 17 -> they see things that natural man do not see. they see in the realm of the spirit. whatever is found in the natural were made of things invisible (it starts with the realm of the spirit.)
-when you change the spiritual realm, the natural realm will naturally change in accordance with the spirit realm.
-2 kings 7:1
almost every miracle in the bible occured less than 24hours! one miracle took a long time was the coming of the Messiah.
-almost every miracle recorded, God was quick to do/act. e.g. healing, deliverance, etc.
-God is not a slow-poke, camel-walking God! -> stop having the impression that it will take forever for a miracle to happen!
God says it is according to your faith, it will be done to you. people who were with Jesus had the faith and many received their miracle instantly! -> you dont have to wait forever for a miracle, it can happen NOW!
-luke 8:49, ish 52:7, heb 11:38, gal 4:15, 2 sam 23:15-16, mt 13:54-57, mk 6:1
why the masses misunderstand the man of God?
-they look at the outward, what he has, etc.
-many ppl dun mind strong churches, but when they see the pastors prospering, their views will start to change. -> "a prophet is without honor in his homeland" -> the masses know that if a pastor remains poor/weak, the church will be poor/weak.
-provision comes under the covering.
-luke 10:29
-with prosperity comes persecution.
