But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you…

VOCALIZING YOUR FAITH ACTIVATES THE ANOINTING;

This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel (1 Samuel 17:46).

David, as a young boy, was conscious of God’s relationship with Israel. His faith in the living God gave him the boldness and audacity to confront Goliath even though he was a stripling. He was confident he couldn’t be defeated by an “uncircumcised Philistine.”

Prior to his duel with Goliath, David had received the anointing through Samuel the Prophet. As he spoke those words of faith against Goliath, that anointing was activated and propelled him to go out fearlessly against the giant. The Bible says, “And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine” (1 Samuel 17:48). Unafraid, he charged towards the giant. This is what happens when you vocalize your faith; you activate the anointing. And once the anointing takes over, you find yourself doing things completely outside the range of human reasoning.

As a child of God, you’ve been anointed by the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you….” As Christians we live the faith-life; Habakkuk 2:4 says “… the just shall live by his faith.” Therefore, to activate the anointing of God’s Spirit that’s in you, for your walk of faith to be effective, you must learn to vocalize your faith.

Vocalizing your faith means to make your boast in the Lord, affirming your faith in His ability, and how that ability is functioning in you! It means to declare your consciousness of His greatness in you—to acknowledge and profess that you’re sufficient in His sufficiency—declaring who He is, what He has done, and who He has made you! Activate His power in you even now, by testifying of what He has done for you, and what the Word says He can do through you.

Psalm 44:8;
Colossians 1:29;
2 Corinthians 4:7

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth;

HE CONQUERED THE WORLD AND GAVE YOU PEACE;

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).

In Philippians 4:6-7 the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, writes, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” The world is looking for peace today; it’s trying to do everything to have peace, but the more it tries, the more it eludes it. The Bible says, “…when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

This is the dilemma that the people of the world are in today. Jesus tells us in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” He overcame the world and gave us the victory over the world. He actually “conquered” the world, and when He was through, He gave us peace. He said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you…” (John 14:27); in other words, “I’ve given you the peace that the world can’t give.” The peace that you have in your spirit is the peace of Jesus Christ that surpasses understanding.

Circumstances may not look right; everything looks like there’s trouble, yet the inexplicable and indescribable peace of God garrisons your heart and mind! The world can’t understand how come you’re so much at peace in the midst of crises. That’s the peace that Jesus gives; it gives you power over crises. It beggars understanding!
