Release the Anointing

1 John 2:27 says that the anointing which we have received from Him abides in us. If the anointing is already in us as the body of Christ, then why aren’t we stepping into it, why isn’t it pouring out of our hearts, why does it seem so buried and inaccessible? What is holding us back Lord?
Lately the Lord has brought me to a place of mourning over the shame that is over His people. His body, His chosen people, those who are cleansed by the blood of the lamb, new creations, called by a new name…living under shame and guilt, living in chains because of it. His purposes being unfulfilled because of it! His heart is healing, his heart is fullness, wholeness, oneness… but why isn’t it coming if it is his will? Is the timing not right? NO! This is God’s will. This is the time! We need to press in or we die…we remain stagnant. Let us not settle! This is not something we can sit on, this is a choice that needs to be made. Do we accept his invitation to freedom with sincere hearts, do we trust that even though we may not feel it, he has deemed us worthy of the blood of the lamb? Or do we remain in our haughty shame. Living in shame is saying that our sin is too big for the Lord of the Heavens…shame is full of pride.
Lord I am so sorry… you have offered your church life abundantly and we sit sulking on a bed of ashes…because we don’t believe, truly believe that you would give it to us….now mother Theresa maybe, but not us! Lord we repent, you have called us worthy, you have called us your sons and daughters
God is speaking to the body: Revere me, trust me, cant you see that I am heartbroken that I am not one with you… you’re not letting my fullness penetrate you… your shame is making you hard, closing you up towards me.
Lets step into the fullness of the anointing that is already in us, casting off all pride and all shame and taking on a spirit of reverence for the King of Kings, claiming our inheritance, pressing on towards the promise land, the kingdom of heaven dwells in us… lets usher it in!

This is God’s heart over the church. Pray that the bride will rise up in fullness, for she has already been healed, His love has already redeemed!
God is so good! : )
