Why are we weak? Why don't we live like
we ought to be living? Because we lack the
oil... we lack the anointing. We think the
anointing is the goose bumps down your
spine every Sunday morning. Or we think
the anointing is talking in tongues five
minutes a day.
That is not the anointing! Look at verse 25.
This is the fifth result of the anointing.
God declares, when the anointing is upon
you, you will influence nations and People.
"Sea'' represents nations. God Says, “I will
put his hand in the sea. I will let him
influence nations.” People who are anointed
will influence the world!
“I will set his hand also in the sea, and his
right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto
me, Thou art my father, my God, and the
rock of my salvation. Also I will make him
my firstborn, higher than the kings of the
earth.”
Psalm 89:25-27
This applies to the kings of the earth. But let
us keep going. Look now at the sixth result
of the
anointing: “My mercy will I keep for him
for evermore and my covenant shall stand
fast with him” (verse 28). The sixth result of
the anointing is, the mercy of God will never
leave your life.
Now look at the seventh result in verse 29:

forever…
Once you are anointed, your children will
be influenced by the anointing on your life.
Get ready for the day when your little boy
five years of age gets up in the morning and
says, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel” Get
ready… you shall see it happen. The Bible
says this is what is going to happen.
THERE ARE THREE ANOINTINGS THAT
ARE VITAL IN YOUR LIFE!
There are three anointings that you
absolutely must receive. These three
anointings are vital in your life. You must
have them. You must go from one to the
next. You cannot step over the first or the
second… you must keep going through with
them. Seek a higher calling… seek a higher
position in God.
The first anointing we receive - I call it the
''leper's anointing” - is the anointing that
delivers from leprosy. Leviticus 14 talks
about the leper being cleansed by the blood,
and then anointed. What is that first
anointing? That first anointing comes when
you and I are born again. Every believer,
once born again, receives an anointing.
The Bible says all of us have the anointing in
our lives, but that anointing is the anointing
that comes at salvation. However, there are
two other anointings most of us do not even
know about, and, may I say, a lot of us are
not even walking in.
Ministers, quit preaching without the
anointing! Without the anointing, your
sermon is dead and boring. Do you know
why people are not in churches today?
Because there is no power... no anointing.
I am going to give you “keys'' that are going
to pack the house of the Lord.
I want to give you “keys'' that if your church
is not on the mountain top, they are going to
find that they can get there.
I am going to give you “keys” that will
release the Holy Spirit of God on you and
the supernatural through you.
I John 2:27 declares:
