3. ANOINTING AND PERSECUTION

Every believer must be ready to act in faith as the Holy Spirit leads. We want to see the great works of God to be manifested. But the true anointing in great power will lead also to hatred and persecution. This will come from the worldly and religious people. Are you ready to face persecution because of the Name of Jesus? Do not fear! Jesus will strengthen your heart to withstand any persecution. He will pour out a new and strong anointing upon you in the midst of trials!

Matthew 10:16-22: “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be as wary as serpents, and as innocent as doves. But be on guard against people, for they will hand you over to the courts and flog you in their synagogues; and you will even be brought before governors and kings on My account, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles…

… But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who are speaking, but it is the Spirit of your Father who is speaking in you. “Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

Jesus will protect you. Nothing will happen to you without His knowing your situation. As the ambassador of the Gospel of Jesus Christ your ministry will be extremely blessed and glorious. The angels will carry you in the triumph for new victories. Be strong in the Lord. The Holy Spirit will anoint you increasingly in the midst of difficulties.

The spirit of this world must be destroyed in your heart in such a way that any other authority, temptation or circumstances do not distract you from your mission with Jesus. Be strong in love relationship with Jesus and your Father. Be subject unto God and resist the devil, and he will flee from you!

God has enough power and passion to equip His church for the greatest harvest of the history. The fear, love and honor of God will deliver you from the fear of men. By the mercy and grace of God, the Holy Spirit will deliver you up from the temptations of this world. You will see and enjoy the glory of God in His spiritual realm. Jesus will give you anything what you need in your ministry.

John 15:20-21: Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they followed My word, they will follow yours also. But all these things they will do to you on account of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

As long as the church is in the condition of infirmity, there will be only little persecution. But as soon as the servants of God will start to heal the sick and raise the dead, the persecution will begin. The spirits of the devil do not tolerate the manifestation of the power of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit will burn the demons and they have to flee. You are called to ignite and carry this kind of awesome Fire of God! You are called to destroy the powers of darkness and call people into salvation in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 5:11-12: “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Peter 4:12-16: Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be overjoyed…

… If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Jesus equips you for a great ministry. Your task will be supernatural and your working environment will be extensive and complex. But you will succeed with Jesus. The Fire of the Holy Spirit is able to equip you for everything what is needed. You will assume the position, power, authority and ministry of the son / daughter of God. Jesus will make you a qualified fellow worker in His Kingdom. Jesus will be your power always and everywhere. You will have the capacity to operate powerfully in the name of Jesus.

The Glory of Heaven is shining into your heart and the lights of this world will get dim and fade out. Jesus will come, the Bride will rise up in the Glory and Might. Be strengthened, stand up and let the Spirit of the Glory rest upon you! Glory to God!
