Pastor Larry Gatlin, So Oregon
1. PRINCIPLE SPICES.
A. THE
LORD GAVE MOSES A VERY DETAILED RECIPE FOR THE ANOINTING OIL.
B. JUST
LIKE EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF THE TABERNACLE.
1. DWELING
2. HABITATION
3. TENT
4. TEMPLE
C. EACH
SPICE WAS A HEAD SPICE.
D. THESE
HEAD SPICES IN THE N.T. FLOW DOWN TO US FROM JESUS. THEY FLOW, ON US, IN US,
AND THROUGH US.
E. IT
BRINGS UNITY.
Ps 133:2-3 (KJV) It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran
down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his
garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the
mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
THE CORPORATE
ANOINTING - II
John 3:27 (KJV) John
answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from
heaven.
James
1:17 (KJV) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh
down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
James 1:17 (NIV) Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like
shifting shadows.
#2. THE ANOINTING
ALWAYS FLOWS FROM THE HEAD DOWN.
A. JESUS
IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
B. I
HAVE A FIRM CONVICTION THAT THE PASTOR IS THE HEAD OF THE LOCAL CHURCH.
C. THE
ANOINTING FLOWS FROM JESUS DOWN.
D. THE
PASTOR RECEIVES IT AND PASSES IT ON.
E. IF
THE PASTOR WON’T THEN JESUS WILL PASS IT ON TO A CHURCH WHERE THE PASTOR WILL
F. THEN
IT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE ELDERS AND THE BODY.
A. ARE
SEEING THIS HAPPEN AND WE DON’T WANT IT TO STOP.
B. EVERY
MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST IS A PRINCIPLE SPICE, A NECESSARY PART, AND A
VITAL INGREDIENT.
C. EACH
OF US HAS DERIVED OUR MINISTRY GOFT FROM JESUS OUR GLORIOUS HEAD.
D. WE
AER ALL NEEDED.
E. AS
WE LEARN TO FLOW IN THE ANOINTING AND UNDER SUBMISSION TO THE AUTHORITY THAT
JESUS HAS PLACED OVER US WE WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE EFECTIVE.
F. APART
FROM JESUS OUR FOUNTAIN WE CAN DO NOTHING.
G. BUT
THROUGH HIM WORKING IN OUR LIVES WE CAN DO ALL THINGS.
Phil 4:13 (KJV)
I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
#3. EACH OINTMENT WAS
SELECTED FOR IT’S RARE QUALITIES.
A. THE
TOTAL MEASURE OF ELEMENTS CAME TO 1500 SHEKELS. FIFTEEN IS THE NUMBER DENOTING
THE SABATH REST.
B. THUS
THE ANOINTING COMES DIRECT FROM THE THRONE OF GOD, THE REALM OF JESUS’
“FINISHED WORK.”
A.
PAUL TELLS US THAT THE CHURCH IS TO COME INTO THE FULLNESS OF HIS SAME MEASURE.
Eph
4:13 (KJV) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fullness of Christ:
Eph
4:13 (NIV) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure
of the fullness of Christ.
B. THE BODY OF CHRIST
HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH OUT OF THE PROMISE OF GOD TO SEND THE MESSIAH, THE GREAT
DELIVERER.
Isa
11:1-2 (NKJ) There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall
rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel
and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
C.
THIS ANOINTING IS FOR ALL WHO WILL RECEIVE IT AND WALK IN IT.
D.
SOME RECEIVE MORE BECAUSE THEY ARE WILLING TO SEEK HIM FOR MORE.
