The document discusses the principles of anointing according to the Bible. It provides several key points about anointing: (1) Anointing demands holiness of heart and righteousness of life, devotion to God's word, and absolute obedience to the Holy Spirit. (2) In the New Testament, the most common Greek word for anointing is "Christ," referring to Jesus as the anointed one. (3) All Christians are anointed with the Holy Spirit, and this anointing helps believers not be misled by false prophets or teachings about Christ.
4. Phil. 2:5-11
“…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something
to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
5. by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
6. "The common prayer-cry is,
“Fill me and lift me up!"
Gods answer is often:
“Be emptied and go down!"
9. “We cannot be in line with the Spirit for
His work unless we are in line with His
law of holiness of heart and life. With
very many the first step in this lies in
getting right with their fellow-men."
Thomas Hogben
10. "हामी उहाँको कामको लािग आत्माको साथमा हुन
सक्दैनौं जब सम्म हामी उहाँको जीवन र हृदय र
जीवनको पिवत्रताको सम्बन्धमा छौं। धेरै धेरै संग
यसका सहकमीर्हरू ितनीहरूका सँगी-पुरुषका साथ
सही पाल्छन्। “
Thomas Hogben
13. Rom 8:13,14
For if you live according to the flesh,
you will die; but if by the Spirit you put
to death the misdeeds of the body, you
will live.
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of
God are the children of God.
15. [Live ]Remain in me, as I also remain in
you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it
must remain in the vine. Neither can you
bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If
you remain in me and I in you, you will
bear much fruit; apart from me you can do
nothing.
22. Most important, and
frequent, Greek word for
anointing is "Christ," the
Anointed One.
"Christos" is translated
"Christ" >500x
Matt 16:17
23. Some examples:
Luke 23:35 "`He saved others; let Him save
Himself if this is the Christ of God, His
Chosen One.'"
John 1:41 "`We have found the
Messiah' (which translated means Christ)."
John 20:31 "But these have been written
that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ…”
24. As Jesus of Nazareth is
the Messiah, so the
word "Christ" is used
with the name "Jesus"
to show Jesus the
Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Christos becomes a
name and title.
25. Jesus is the "anointed
one,” the title”Christ" is
only His.
Other "christs" are
false: Mat 24:5, Matt
24:23, 1Jn 2:22
30. In the NT all Christians are
anointed with the Holy
Spirit.
31. 3 verses specifically mention
anointing: 2 Cor 1:21, 1Jn 2:20, 27
The anointing of the Holy Spirit
means we should not be misled by
false christs and teachers.
32. Jesus the Christ has chosen us
and poured out the anointing of
the Spirit upon us that we are now
part of God's royal priesthood,
1 Peter 2:9.
