TAKEOVER HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWER US

2 Peter 1:10-11 " Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

When Christ called his 12 disciples they were called for a very special mission to ministered throughout the Galilee, Then He also called another seventy two also a very special calling as an Amassadors of Christ in the area of Judea. Jesus Christ were not stop to call people to serve in His vineyard for the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Jesus said that, Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. the harvest field are the different ministries of the Lord throughout the world, That's why God is always calling people for this harvest. We as God's servants that obeyed the call of the Lord are included being an Ambassadors of Christ Jesus throughout the world. Trully it is our privileges to serve Him, and our calling was certainly a dignified mission for the Lord.

There are evidences that these calling is trully dignified even though that cinrcumstances are there:

1. Our calling was a difficult calling- in Luke 10:2-3 "He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves." It is very hard to work in the field specially in harvesting. It is my experience when I was in Quezon Province, I have no companions to do the harvest its only my mother she helps me. God said pray to send out workers into his harvest field, Workers that can help us to the vineyard, workers that are willing to offer their lives to God.
2. Our calling was a dangerous calling - but don't focus on danger God said in his Word, If God is for us who can be against us,
 in 1 John 4:4 "Greater is He who is in us, than he who is the world."
1 John 5:19 " We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."
Luke 10:3 "Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves." But remember God is always with us.
Luke 10:17 "The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." God will never leave us nor forsake us, He will help us.
3. Our calling would require discipline and faith in God to do our mission- Jesus said in Luke 10:4-8 "Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. When you enter a house, first say, "Peace to this house." If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; If not it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you,for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. When you enter a town and are   welcomed, eat what is set before you." Jesus gave this word for their discipline, A disciplined servants obey the word of his master because obedience is better that sacrifice. Discipline is very important to the followers of Christ, it is the root word in Discipleship and being servant in His vineyard.
FINALLY:
4. Our calling are being ambassadors of Peace, Bringing healing to the sick and deliverance to the posessed of evil- It is our duties as Jesus Christ did in his ministry.
Luke 4:14-21 "Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's Favor."
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them, Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." Jesus also gave to us the Power, the Anointing and Authority so that we can also perform what he did before.
Luke 10:19 "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." It is very important to exercise the power and authority that God gave to us, and the manifestation of His anointing must seen in us. Amen.(NIV-Bible verses)

2 Kings 18:1-8 "In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty nine years. His mother's name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherahpoles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan) Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. He held fast to the Lord and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commandsthe Lord had given Moses. And the Lord was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. From watchtower to fortified city he defeated the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory."

I. How many of you are always experiencing crisis in life. One of the prominent Bible character, who experienced crisis in his life- was king Hezekiah of Judah. 2 Kings 18:1-3
In other words king Hezekiah was a rieghteous king who followed and being obedient to the will of God.

II. Now in what area of his life that crisis, arised or he experienced.

   1. In the crisis of choice- sometimes we follow the wrong choice. king Hezekiah- chose to forsake the idols of his father Ahaz and purged the kingdom from idolatry. 2Kings 18:4 " He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burningincence to it. (It was called Nehushtan) 2 Chronicles 28:24-25
  2. In the crisis of invasion- king Hezekiah prayed to the Lord and was dilivered 2Chronicles 32:1-21
In time of invasion and spiritual warfare we must apply Ephesians 6:10-18
  3. In the crisis of prosperity- He manifested pride and displayed his treasures to the ungodly. Isaiah 39:1-8
  4. In the criisis of sickness- obedience furnished him a foundation for prayer and healing. Isaiah 38:1-5

III. What we need to do in times of crisis in our lives?

  1. Chose what is right as king Hezekiah's did, Don't dicide if you are not sure in your discission.
      Example in the new testament- is Ananias and Safira- Acts 5:1-11
  2. Don't panic in time of troubles of invasion, just pray as what king Hezekiah's did.
  3. Do not boast and brag when you are now rich. James 4:16"As it is you boast and brag all such boasting is evil."
  4. Always being humble and obedience- cry- kneel before God, for God is Faithful. 1 Peter 1:14
1 Samuel 15:22

Try to study this topic to have full anointing of God in us...
                                                 By: Bro. Rex D. America ESED

We can maintain the Anointing as Jesus said in John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me an I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." In other words we must always obedient to the will of the Father it is the Word of God. we must study and live the Word of God in our daily lives. Remains in other translation of the Bible is to abide, it means to continue or to follow or to stay and dwell or resides Him in us.
Colossians 2:6-7 "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. As we remember we are the Temple of God or the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

The first secret to maintain the Anointing is we must always Wait on the Lord. As we are called to serve God it is very important to listen and to wait the Lord instruction and His revelations, we do not need to say I am weak or lack of knowledge for God is always willing to give His Wisdom.
James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
1 Corinthians 1;25-27 "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strenght. Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influentials; not many were of noble birth.But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong." Thank God for He uses the weak and gave them His Power it is the Anointing, the Holy Spirit Himself. Enemies were defeated because of that Power, they cannot penetrates in the life of believers that are possessed by the Holy Spirit; because the Anointing are always active in thier lives.

Secondly we must turn our weaknesses into blessing; it means we must overcome and try to follow what God's instructions that reveal to us. In other words we must depend more on Him because he is our strenght and Power, wisdom and life.
 Zechariah 4:6 ".....Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty." Those who are dependence with God, pleases God always and attracts His attention and draws Him to us, for God is faithful to those who obey with Him. We must also Confess the Word, for God said that life and death are in the tip of our tonque as power and victory depends on what we think and we say or what we confess.
Luke 10:19 "I have given you authorityto trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you."
 Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs will accompany those who believe; In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tonques; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all;they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." It is the sign of being dependence with God and the Anointing, thats why we need to Draw Near to God in Prayer, the kind of weakness that God want for us, it is when we bow down our knees in prayer, it is not our oblegation as Christians it life of a Christian to pray every minutes every hours and everyday, the secret on how we exchange our strenght for His Strenght.
Isaiah 40:30-31 "Even youths grow tired and weary,and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strenght." Renew means to exchange everything to God specially our strenght and weaknesses as we are waiting for the coming of the Lord. MARANATA

How We learn to Wait on God?
It is very Important to know how to wait on God like the apostle and the disciples of Christ on the first Pentecost, they waited on the upper room until they were filled with the Holy Spirit.Acts 1:4 "On one occasion, while he was eating with them,he gave them this command: Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised,which you have heard me speak about. It is the Anointing the Holy Spirit Himself, so they waited until they were empowered and received the Holy Spirit. Now what does the Bible mean when it says to wait upon the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 " They that wait upon the Lord will exchange strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." To wait upon the Lord  is Waiting for God's Time- that is take no major action until God shows you it is time to act. Always wait Him to do what we need to do in time of so many circumstances and specially in time of the proclamation of His Word.To wait upon the Lord is  waiting in Prayer and Fasting- in other word it is very important to have Prayer and Fasting- it means we need to spend time prayerfully in God's presence in devotional exercises, sometimes involving fasting as well as prayer. Fasting without prayer is useless it is diet but Fasting with Prayer it is our Power and when we pray God's move and work for us.

WE MUST HEAR GOD'S VOICE EVERYDAY?
For me God is  always talking to us first and foremost- God speak to us directly through the Bible, next is through mediation or those people used by Him, and also through circumstances, but most and ultimate is because the Holy Spirit is with uswho revealed to us everyday what God's wants for us. Yes I believe that God still speaks to us today by His Holy Spirit.Many will die to defend what God said it is in the past centuries, but today God said in Hebrews 12:25 "See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? What the admonition at the book of Revelation 2:7"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." Revelation 3:22"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." It is understood that God has continue in revealing His will through the Holy Spirit.

REMEMBER THAT WE NEED TO HEAR HIM
In Matthew 4:4 "Jesus answered, it is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."- iot means God speaks of a present continuing function. That means something that happened in the past, is happining in the present and will happen in the Future, Amen. In 2 Corinthians 6:16 "What agreement is there between the temple of God and Idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: I will live with them and walk among therm, and will be their God, and they will be my people." 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by erybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."
WHY WE NEED TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE?
1. To know God's will-  God's wants us to know and do His will.  Zec.4:6      Luke 12:47-48

THERE ARE HINDRANCES TO HEARING GOD'S VOICE:
1. Hearts are not perfect before God- 2 Corithians 16:9
    The bible said that the people on that times understood the heart to be the seat of our Emotion or affection, our motives and intentions of person.
The Worldly affections- set on the things on the earth rather than the things in heaven. 1 John 2:15
The Impure motives- is like Balam in Numbers 23:1 following verses. he batered God given miraculous gifts for money, fame, and prestige.
The Wrong Intentions- is like the life of Ananias and Safira in Acts 5:
We can hide these things from the Lord, and we do not keep our hearts right in his sight we will not hear God's Voice.
2. The hardness of heart- Hebrews 4:7
3. the Unforgiveness stops Goid's voice- to return of God's voice and to receive the compassion of the Lord very important is FORGIVENESS.
As we hear His Voice, We must obey God's Voice
Romans 10:17 "Faith is cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God."
The original meaning in Greek words translated the WORD as LOGOS and RHEMA = Logos are refers to written word while Rhema refers to the living word. as Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 It is written means Logos man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word means Rhema that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
When Jesus was healing the sick people on that time, even the Apostles of Christ like Peter& John they proclaimed the Word and it penetrated in the life of the people because that word that they proclaimed is the Living Word or Rhema.The word that comes from God, communicated from God and it brings healing and deliverance.
As we obey God's Voice, it is very important the RELATIONSHIP.
without relationship with God we cannot hear and obey God that's why it it not the formula or any guidelines that made by man but it is relationship the very important.in John 5:19 "The Son can do nothing by himself. |He does only what he sees the Father doing, and in the same way he sees the  Father doing it." that why it is very important to SPEND TIME WITH GOD.
It is very important the real thing it is Jesus Christ or the Truth:
1. God's word and the Holy Spirit is the important and not the academic knowledge.
    Acts 8:6-7          Matthew 24:14
2. The key is Faith and not Pride it is very important to have faith in God, the faith that comes from hearing by the word of God. 1 Cor.8:1
As we obey and maintain the anointing we need to continue hearing the Message from on High the message from God. the important is the message and not the nuclear weapon or any kind of fire arms.
We need to prioritized our God to hear the message.
After we prioritized God to hear the message it is need to Spread The Message throughout the world, as God said Go, and make disciple of all nation.....Preach the good news to the whole world. Amen. May God bless as all.

As we know in Christian Living we must have the triple Anointing or the full Anointing as Jesus Christ possessed, it is my desire as Christian to have this Anointing and I would like to share to every one that this Anointing is very important specially in the life of those who are serving God as preachers, teachers and workers in the vineyard of God.
THE ANOINTING IS ESSENTIAL:
The most important in the life of all servants but most neglected, the most important principle in leadership development specially the preachers and ministers. THE ANOINTING IS THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF AND WITHOUT THAT POWER UPON THE PEOPLE OF GOD THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF SUCCEEDING.
Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, andin all Judea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
IN THE THREE YEARS MINISTRY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HE NEVER SENT ANY ONE TO REPRESENT HIM THAT DID NOT FIRST EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND EVEN HIM:
Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach a year of liberation."
What Jesus did when he decended from heaven? Jesus obey everything that according to the will of the Father, when he became man he followed what the law of being born on earth, Mary the chosen and blessed woman from every women was used Him so that the promised of God may fulfilled, and it was done.When Jesus was on the adolescent or tenager he obeyed his parent on earth his step father Joseph and his mother on earth Mary, He humble himself nd followed what the Father in heaven revealed to Him. the most and very important that Jesus did that we need also to follow is He Fasted, Prayed, and Always Communicated with His Father in Heaven. He followed the voice of the Holy Spirit. Always wait the prompting and the guidance of the Holy one the most Powerful one Our Counselor and Great Teacher, Most important in the life of all believers specially the Preachers it is the HOLY SPIRIT without the Him in our life we are nothing and useless but when He live in us we become His Temple and we always guide Him for everything He want for us. As we always told in my preaching when He enter and lived in my life my life will never the same again. In Romans 8:31.... If God is for us who can be against us....1John 4:4.... for God is greater than he who is in the world.

                                                 By: Bro. Rex D. America ESED

IF WE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS AND NO ONE CAN DEFEAT US...
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:31 "What then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:35 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Romans 8:37 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us?"

HOW MANY OF YOU WANTS TO BECOME VICTORIOUS CHRISTIANS?
Remember that you will never walk in Victory until you know your enemy is defeated, and stand in the truth that we are more than conquerors and no one can defeat us because Christ Jesus is in us. As Christian we do not move from defeat into Victory, We do not move from doubt into faith. The scripture tells us that there is a way of faith which lead to greater faith. Romans 1:17 "from faith to faith" "For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written; "The righteous will live by faith." Our starting point for victory is not one of defeat, but victory, it is Christ Jesus Victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." In John 8:31-32,36 "to the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If  you hold to my teaching, you are rally my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." V-36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." It means Victorious Christian Living.

1. by being freed from fear of death and devil. In Hebrews 2:14-15 "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is, the devil- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." It means the devils was destroyed"- Jesus died that the devil might destroyed.this is a strong, and sure statement which is absolutely and totally true.the devil is destroyed."
REMEMBER 1John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." That's why Christian says... We will serve the Lord even when trials come, none can separate us from the love of God.We are more than conquerors no one can defeat us we are the chosen generation we are the sons of God. we will served the Lord, we will serve the Lord as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, we will serve the Lord we will serve the Lord as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.That is what Joshua sung when the people of Israel told them whom they will serve to the Living God or to the dead god. and Joshua said I and my house we will serve the Lord. He is the God who is more than enough. He is El Shaddai.
