In the
incredible encounter of Moses with the Lord on Mount Sinai, the Lord speaks of
placing limits around the mountain.
“Put
limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful that you
do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the
mountain is to be put to death’” (Exodus
19:12).
These
limits were to stop the people crossing to where the Lord’s glory was
manifesting. Only Moses was given permission to go all the way into this glory.
In other
words, the glory was off limits to the general populace. Throughout the Old
Testament it stayed that way.
But not
so today! The limits are off!
We are
told in Hebrews 12, we are not coming to the mountain of the Old Testament —
the one with limits…
“You have
not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to
darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words
that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because
they could not bear what was commanded: ‘If even an animal touches the
mountain, it must be stoned to death.’ The sight was so terrifying that Moses
said, ‘I am trembling with fear’” (Hebrews 12:18-21).
… but to
the new mountain — Mount Zion. We are coming to the heavenly Jerusalem.
“But
you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.
You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly” (Hebrews 12:22).
That
which was untouchable is untouchable no more. Jesus brought access and sonship.
He released the precious Holy Spirit among us.
Paul
wrote to the Corinthian church:
“Now
if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone,
came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of
Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of
the Spirit be even more glorious?
“If
the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is
the ministry that brings righteousness!
“For
what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And
if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that
which lasts!” (2 Corinthians 3:7-11)
That
which Moses had was glorious, but what comes with the ministry of the Spirit is
even more glorious!
Paul then
speaks of this ministry in depth and starts chapter 4 with this incredible
statement: “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have
this ministry, we do not lose heart” (2 Corinthians 4:1).
This more
glorious ministry, this limitless ministry, is available to all. But will all
avail themselves of it?
A great
statement is made in Hosea, “My
people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6).
Sometimes
ignorance and lack of revelation cause us to miss the best of God.
My
book, Unlimited Anointing, is part of my personal
revelation into the subject of the incredible realm of the anointings of God.
Wait! Did
I say, “anointings”? Yes, “anointings.” More than one!
The
dictionary won’t even let you use the word in plural and yet God’s Word itself
shows more than one anointing available to the believer.
How did I
stumble upon this truth? The Spirit of Truth Himself loves to lead us into all
truth and will speak — if we want to listen.
Of
course, we want to listen! Who wouldn’t?
Perhaps
many, as every letter to the churches in the second chapter of Revelation
begins, “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the
Spirit says to the churches…” (Revelation 2:7,11,17).
That
statement alone tells us that not all want to hear; nevertheless, the Lord
wants to speak to all who will.
So, it is
for me. The truth came, of course, through my study of the Word; but
specifically, when the Holy Spirit spoke to me one day while on my prayer walk
and said, “I want you to minister on the anointings of the believer.”
I
instantly wanted to argue and wanted to say, “Anointings? You mean
anointing!”
But I
knew the voice of the One speaking. The revelation was on and the journey
taking a new direction.
My desire
is to share with others as the Holy Spirit reveals more and more truth of what
His anointings do.
We
certainly don’t want to live our lives with less than has been prepared for us.
I personally love this Scripture in John:
“He
came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who
did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right [power
and authority] to become children of God” (John 1:11-12).
Love it!
The door is open! It makes all that God has available.
The table
mentioned in Psalm 23:5 can be freshly viewed — all we need is revelation of
what is ours and the understanding of how to receive it, and we walk in fresh
anointing.
It is
like when the Lord said to Abraham:
“Lift
your eyes now and look from the place where you are — northward, southward,
eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I will give to you
and your descendants forever” (Genesis 13:14 NKJV).
Where we
are can often be so limiting, but let’s look again and let the Holy Spirit show
us all that there is to see.
He wants
to give us what we see! Are we willing to take off our own limits and step into
the limitless arena of the ministry of the Holy Spirit?
The Word
states so beautifully, “He
who began the good work in you, will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6).
God
clearly wants to take us into fullness. This is what I want and I pray that I
can encourage others with everything I see.
