Lesson 278: SAMSON; A STUDY IN “THE ANOINTING” – PART 2

INTRODUCTION:
In the first part of this series, we saw that the main purpose of the anointing is to break the yokes of the enemy. We also learnt that holiness and purity are essential characteristics of those vessels through which the anointing must flow. Today, as we continue our studies, may the Lord bless us richly with His anointing in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. THE ANOINTING ATTRACTS BLESSING TO THE ANOINTED

One of the conditions for receiving Divine visitors is hospitality. Also, those who receive Divine visitors always receive miracles, not death. Just as the anointed grows physically, so also can the anointing grow in intensity. Moreover, the anointing brings to the anointed blessings because of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

2. THE ANOINTING ALSO ATTRACTS FROM THE ENEMY: BUT THE ANOINTED ALWAYS LAUGHS LAST

The anointing precipitate attacks from the enemy. Infact, the greater the anointing, the greater the attacks. But the Divine purpose is so that the enemy might be put to shame openly.
