4 Steps To A Fresh Anointing (Conclusion)

True biblical Christianity is crying out to be part of the contemporary church in America. Mediocrity has invaded the Christians life and the sad thing is we accept being mediocre as normal.

-We need of a fresh touch of Holy Ghost power in our lives daily.

Matthew 14:14 “And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick."

We have continually accepted the lowest amount of God’s power needed to maintain what we have all ready received from Him.
We
need to believe that God’s power will not be forgotten or forsaken any longer in our churches, but that we will allow His Spirit to have free reign over us each and ever day we live this life. The day of miracles has not passed and this generation needs to see and experience them. We can all know His glory with a fresh touch of the Holy Ghost.

 


-We need the return of a Spirit of Praise in the camp of believers.

Matthew 21:15, 16 “And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?”

We have too much canned or orchestrated worship today. My church has one of the greatest praise bands assembled today with some of the finest musicians and singers you can find anywhere, but I don't expect them to do all the worship and praise. Praise has to come from the heart of a prayerful person in order for it to what God wants it to be. If we don't praise Him the rocks and stones will cry out. A fresh anointing will keep praise alive within the hearts of His people.

God’s power is released through a praying, cleansed temple when people begin to give praise the Lord. 

a. Praise brings God to our aid


b. Praise releases a victorious friend against our enemies.


c. Praise brings us closer to God presence.


d. Praise given by your lips delights the heart of God.




If you want a fresh anointing clean up your heart, begin to pray for a daily refreshing in the Holy Ghost, and praise God with a voice of triumph. The anointing will come!
