WE MUST REALIZE THAT INCLUDED IN THE ANOINTING, WHICH ABIDES WITHIN US, ARE THE MEANS [THE ONLY MEANS] AND THE POWER [THE ONLY POWER] TO ACCOMPLISH THE ENTIRE WILL OF GOD FOR OUR LIFE AND MINISTRY


          ...."Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each has received a special gift, employing it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      1 Peter 4: 9-10 NASB


          Many people attempt to discern what God has given them in the way of a "special gift" and then attempt to apply it in their "own" understanding. Let it be clearly understood that everything that we have received from the Father, in Christ, needs to be revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. Then, as it is revealed to our heart, we act, through the unction of the Holy Spirit, upon those things that we "know" through revelation to be true. We must realize that included in the Anointing, which abides within us, are the means [the only means] and the power [the only power] to accomplish the "entire will of God" for our life and ministry. As each individual Christian adheres to the guidance of the Holy Spirit they shall THEN "corporately" fulfil the ministry of Jesus Christ. If one truly desires to walk in perfect love [an absolute faith and perfect obedience] then they must in no way allow themselves to remain in bondage to ANY element of self-desire and self-agenda. For one to do so will surely cause them to "deviate" [stray] from the path that the Father has set out for them - and it is certain that they shall then, in some way, be found misrepresenting the Word of God and the heart and character of the Father! As one gains a deeper revelation of the Cross, and how it applies to their life and ministry, they shall no longer be "presumptuous"  or "passive" in their service to God - that is, get out ahead of Him or be behind Him in ANY way. Let us be found diligently pursuing the fullness of the Father's will for our life and ministry in this most critical hour - for His holy plan for the establishment of a "spotless and unblemished" Church is unfolding daily in and through a remnant people whose hearts are given wholly to the will of God, alone.
