Greetings
The article posted yesterday on Yahooshua NOT being deity and "deity" being a meaningless religious word also indirectly raised some other vital issues.
The anointing is available to every believer as a portion from the Almighty and there is a verse at Philippians 4:13 which says "I can do all things through the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ} which strengtheneth me".
The reality is that it is POSSIBLE but NOT GUARANTEED that because a person is anointed that they can do all things. There is a fairly widely spread teaching and belief that all things is effectively a guarantee rather than an opportunity in obedience.
The reality is that there are numerous examples of people who have been anointed by the Almighty who subsequently fall into error.
-- King Uriah went into the most set apart {holy} place in the Temple and was struck with leprosy.
-- King Saul turned from following the Almighty and ultimately found the Almighty opposing him.
-- King David turned to adultery with Bathsheba but subsequently repented and was restored.
-- ONLY Yahooshua lived his entire life without sin but he still had to resist the devil and resist temptation!
Because we have been anointed and have experienced the gifts of the Spirit or received prophetic experiences or in other words been confirmed at some level as being a servant of the Almighty does not guarantee that we will not fall immediately afterwards or at some time and it does not guarantee that everything we think, say or do is from the Almighty.
Praying prayers for guidance does NOT guarantee that everything we do is right or pleasing to the Almighty, we have to exercise our MIND AND WILL to discern His guidance, filter what we think and do through the scriptures and take the right decision.
There is a great trap of presumption waiting for all of us.
We must exercise our WILL (self control) as indicated in a recent article, to take dominion over our flesh, our own understanding, demons and devils, vain (false) imaginings, etc, etc if we are to walk in the power of the Spirit (anointing) this is a moment by moment challenge.
Warm regards and blessings
