This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled Fresh Oil for a Fresh Season. Samuel anointed David, and from that day the Spirit of the Lord came upon him with power (1 Samuel 16:13). The anointing is the very presence of the Holy Spirit, working in us, upon us, and through us for His glory. Fresh oil changes atmospheres and carries a Christ-like fragrance that spreads everywhere (2 Corinthians 2:14-15). The anointing opens hearts to receive truth (Acts 16:14). It heals the sick and brings freedom (Acts 10:38). It shifts spiritual environments and breaks yokes of bondage (Isaiah 10:27). We are called to grow in the anointing by waiting, by worship, and by walking in love.
