Increasing Your Measure of Anointing

The book of John is the 43^rd book of the Bible. It depicts Christ as Our Personal Savior,

The Son of God.

John has 21 chapters, 878 verses, and 19,099 words.

Prophetic Scripture

John 3:34 (KJV)

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

When God sent Jesus into the world as the begotten Son of God, the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him without measure.  Jesus walked in unlimited power, but the Bible says He grew into a man of full spiritual maturity (Luke 2:52).  God could and did anoint Him without limits because Jesus learned the ways of God and was able to handle the power of God on such a level.

For us, God wants to increase the anointing on our life too, as we become His ambassadors in the earth.  He wants to increase our measure of power as we learn God’s ways and can handle the anointing properly.  When the measure of anointing on your life increases, you will have new boldness, confidence, and ability to manifest God to people in a way that is beyond human capability.

Genesis

We are beginning the study of Genesis.  We are looking at who, what, when, where, and how of
Genesis.   Right now we are going to talk about the WHO of Genesis 1:1.

❖ Genesis 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The Bible itself portrays Christ as Savior of the World.  The God of the Bible is the Creator or its Author.  It is God’s written revelation of His Will to men (male & female).  The central theme of the Bible is salvation through Jesus Christ.

The word “Bible” comes from the Greek word biblos which actually is “a library of books” focused on the subject “GOD”!!!  

We have the Old Testament and the New Testament.  The word “testament” in the Latin is testis or testicles, which is derived from ancient custom of “placing one’s hand on another party’s testicles to make a solemn pledge”, conveying not only the trust of the two parties, but also the pledge is binding on the future generations that will come from the seed of each man.  

There are two instances when this happened.

1) When Abraham sent his servant to get a wife for Isaac, his servant put his hand under Abraham’s thigh (Genesis 24:2-9).

2) Then again two generations later, it happened with Jacob and Joseph (Genesis 47:29).

The blessings of God are “gene-rational”.  Genesis is the “’plant-bed” of the creation. (A tobacco farmer would know what that is. This was where the seed was sown and grown – then the tobacco plants were taken out to the fields and planted to bring forth the harvest).

So Genesis is the “birthing unit” out of which came forth “the beginning of the creation”. 

For right now, we’ll talk about “the God” in Genesis.
