"The Real Anointing"

Isa 10:27
27 It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,And his yoke from your neck,And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. NKJV

I was asking myself a question this evening. Why is it that most people who go to a prayer line get temporary relief but end up right back in the same condition. I read a while back that even in a Benny Hinn meeting that between 20% and 30% of the people in the meeting get healed and that is above average. I long for the day when everybody gets healed, gets delivered, gets the miracle they need. I ling for the day that the real anointing is released and everybody leaves transformed. How does this happen?

I believe the primary way is getting a real understanding of what the anointing is. Let's look at the word.

Anointing - Fatness (O.T)

The real translation is the yoke is destroyed because of the fatness. This is not referring to body weight, it is referring to spiritual weight. Back in the day when this was written, there were not tractors or modern day agriculture devices and machinery. The primary tool of agriculture was an oxen. These were monstrous creatures with unbelievable pulling power and strength. They were truly a beast!

The farmers knew that once a oxen had grown into its full potential, that they were uncontrollable. They would no longer be able to use the oxen to their advantage, so they would put a yoke on it when it was young with the purpose of shaping the oxen's life to the yoke. The oxen's future took on the shape of the yoke. That's why the devil goes after our children and youth while they are young. Media, Music, and the world culture seek to shape our children and youth causing them to make future shaping decisions at an age that they are not ready. The world influence pulls on them and puts them in situations to pull out the preconceived tendencies or momentum towards sin that is passed down through their bloodline. Exodus chapter 20 tells us that the iniquity of the father is passed down to the third or fourth generation. You now have children and youth doing things they hate but they feel powerless to change because of the sin of someone they have never met. This is why Jesus was borne of a virgin, the bloodline of Joseph which could be traced back to the first Adam (even David said I was conceived in sin (Iss. 53). By being borne of a virgin, the seed of Christ came from the Holy Spirit, therefore Jesus was borne without sin.

Lastly, the yoke is destroyed by the fatness of maturity that comes from within. It is the God nature on the inside of you growing , growing, and growing until it breaks everything that tries to hold you. You then don't have to live off a anointed service or a anointed preacher, a one time event, but it can be a lifestyle. To hell with just making God an event once a week, I'm ready for people to rise up and say I'm going to let the anointing grow inside of me. I don't somebody to touch me, what's in me is so fat, that I don't have to struggle with that addiction, pornography, poverty, depression no more!

I don't live by my situation but my revelation that greater is He (the anointing) than he that is in the world. What's in you is more powerful than anything the devil can conjure up. You don't have to live your life predicated to getting up in the morning hoping you can make it through another day still saved. It is not the Father's intention that you live from struggle to struggle but from Glory to Glory! You can be Christlike, that is you can dominate the enemy can win. Why because Christ won once and for all at Calvary, it is finished! There is no dualism between God and the devil, he was cast out of heaven like lightening. Jesus said I saw satan fall like lightening (Luke 10:18-19). Lightening strikes in a nano second. That is faster than you can blink your eyes. And even as Christ is, so are we in the world (I John 4:17).
