This morning during my communion time with the Holy Spirit opened the time with Acts 10:38 by reminding me that the same God who anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil.

The Father has not changed His mission or His method of anointing men for service. The Kingdom that Jesus began to establish on earth has not ceased. Isaiah 9:7 declares that the increase of His government and peace has no end.

This means that the same anointing Jesus carried and walked in is now the inheritance and responsibility of His followers to use to extend His Kingdom. We as disciples of Jesus are now anointed to carry His presence, reveal His goodness, break oppression, and manifest His miraculous Kingdom everywhere they go.

The Holy Spirit went on to emphasize that every true word from the Lord to us requires our response. Revelation from the Holy Spirit is never given for intellectual enjoyment or casual entertainment. It comes to shift our direction, by demanding our alignment, to position us for new levels of obedience and impact in society.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that He never speaks contrary to Scripture but always confirms the Word which always leads into truth, and brings freedom in our lives. John 8:31; 2 Corinthians 3:17.

The Holy Spirit then led me to revisit the context of Acts.10:36–37, showing that deliverance always begins with a word sent from God, and only those who receive that word gain access to the rights and realities of the Kingdom.

John 1:6–13 reinforces this pattern showing us how God sends a messenger with a message tailored for our deliverance and those who receive it become children of God empowered with divine life.

However those who reject the messenger with the message miss the grace contained in it. This same principle also appears in the ministry of Jesus in Luke 5:17–20, where the power of God was present to heal everyone listening to Jesus, yet only one man received healing.

The man whose friends broke through every barrier to get him before Jesus. The contrast is a very sobering reality of life because there were many who sat near the Word, Jesus but received nothing, while one desperate act of faith from outside the meeting tapped into the power of the Lord available to bring healing.

The Holy Spirit highlighted that today He still anoints His servants with the Holy Spirit and power by giving them words of life that contain deliverance, healing, freedom, and a destiny for His people. The manifestation of the promise, however, depends entirely upon how people respond.

Some hear the word with gladness and believe with the result that they encounter miracles, transformation, provision, and breakthrough just as God declared. Unfortunately others choose to reject the word, often because of an offense or familiarity with the messenger, and remain unchanged. Hebrews 3:12–19 reveals this tragic reality that unbelief always shuts the door to what God intends to give.

The Holy Spirit reminded me personally of the encounter I had with Him when He told me I would minister His word to the Nations, and because I chose to believe He started fulfilling that word and continues to fulfill His promise by opening more doors into other Nations.

Likewise, those who have received the words God sent through me have experienced deliverance, miracles, and supernatural intervention, not because of me, but because they believed in the God who sent the word through me.

My prayer is that your hearts would soften again and become tender by repenting for times you have rejected words from God because of offense, unbelief, or resistance.

May your hearts be open fully to the word He is sending now. So that as you receive it, you will once again step into the flow of healing, signs, wonders, divine provision, and daily freedom from oppression.

The assignment from the Lord has not changed: The Lord still anoints His people with the Holy Spirit and power, by sending them as the visible expression of Jesus’ goodness on earth so the world may know that Jesus Christ is truly Lord of all. Amen.
