Understand It
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. —2 Peter 1:3
God “hath” already given us everything we need for the natural life and the supernatural life. We are lacking nothing. He “hath given” the believer an anointing, which is the power and ability of God. The anointing is the spiritual equipment that allows you to live a prosperous, healthy, and victorious life. For two thousand years now, the Church has been given all it needs—yet we see many Christians who are sick, depressed, broke, and defeated. This is not because God does not care or because we have no choice, but it is because we have failed to understand the power and ability that is ours in the anointing. We spend hours praying for power, asking God to send the power, depending on a God in heaven to do in our lives what He has given us the power to do. We have bowed to situations that we have the power to overcome, and we have sought God to free us from circumstances that we ourselves have the ability to blast out of our lives. We blame God for the state of the world and of the Church, as if He is holding back on us, keeping His power and ability locked up in a reservoir in heaven until we pray and plead long and hard enough for Him to release just a dab. But the Word says He has given us all we need to overcome and live in victory. The problem is not with God or on God’s end. We must learn to receive and believe what He has given us!

Cooperate with Him
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
—Acts 10:38
Jesus became empowered and equipped at the river Jordan, when the Holy Ghost came upon Him like a dove. Until that time (for thirty years), Jesus had not healed one sick person, nor opened one blind eye; He had never walked on water or preached a sermon. But when He was anointed by God with the Holy Ghost and with power, He immediately went about doing good. When you put faith in the power you have, it will cause you to go about doing good, healing all who are oppressed of the devil. That is why doctrines of demons have been injected into the Church: “Wait for the power!” “Wait for God to pour out His Spirit.” “God has all the power.” “The power is coming, soon, so get ready” . . . anything to keep you from the knowledge that you have the power. If the enemy can keep you from believing that you have the power, you will sit about rather than go about! Those oppressed, under the domin- ion of the devil, will stay oppressed because the Church is waiting on God to deliver them, or they are waiting for God to send the power so they can. But we can! You have been anointed—rubbed and smeared— with the Holy Ghost and with power. As the Father sent Jesus (with the anointing), He now sends us (with the anointing). We are anointed and empowered to do good and heal all, because God is with us. How is He with us? Through the indwelling and through the anointing of His Spirit. God has anointed you—so go about! Not without!

THE GREATEST GIFT - The Signs

The Signs
And these signs shall follow them that believe;
in my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
—Mark 16:17–18
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior—if you are born again—certain signs will become a part of your life, includ- ing this: “You shall cast out devils.” Devils are real spiritual beings. They are out to destroy mankind through sickness and disease, fear, doubt, and oppression. God did not call the believer to be harassed by demon spirits, but to enforce their defeat, which took place at the cross. Poison is not supposed to have any effect on a believer; bad water should not make you sick; any current or future strains of COVID-19 should not be able to attach itself to a believer. You have the supernatural ability to repel harmful things that would hurt the natural person. Another supernatural sign that should accompany your life as a believer is: “They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” You have supernatural power over sickness and disease in the lives of others. Also: “They shall speak with new tongues.” Tongues is a supernatural sign that belongs to the believer. It is not just for a few; it is for all. It is a spiritual language that is inspired by the Holy Ghost to build you up in the things of the Spirit. Are you a believer? How many of these signs are following you? These signs shall follow you—if you believe.

The Sent
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. —Mark 16:19–20
Jesus Christ is seated bodily at the right hand of the Father. He will never preach another sermon on this earth; He will never cast out another devil; He will never again heal another sick person. He said, “Go ye,” and then He ascended and sat down. God’s perfect will is that the Church should go, the Church should preach, the Church should cast out, the Church should heal, and the Church should speak in tongues (Mark 16:17–18). Instead, the Church has spent most of its time praying and asking God to do it, pleading with Him and wondering why He does not do it. But the Great Commission does not mandate the Church to send the Lord—in it, the Lord sends His Church. When the Church finally understands God’s plan of operation and goes, each member will be accompanied by signs following them. The time to pray and chase signs and wonders is over; it is time for the supernatural to follow you everywhere you go. People will hear the Good News, they will be delivered of demonic strongholds, and they will be set free from sickness and disease. This should be the lifestyle of a believer in the world today. Jesus has been received up—now it is time for us—for you—to go everywhere!

The Accompanying One
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.—Acts 2:33
We have learned that Jesus was received up into heaven bodily; that the believer should go into all the world and preach the Gospel; and that supernatural signs would follow the believer. When we go, the Lord will work with the believer, not for the believer. If the Lord is seated at the right hand of God, how can He possibly work with us here in the earth? Here the Word tells us the Lord will work with us in the Person of the Holy Ghost. Jesus did not endure the sufferings of the cross just to pay for your sins so that you could receive Him as Savior and be with Him in heaven when you die. Jesus suffered, died, and was raised not only so you could be with God, but so God could be with you here on the earth. God desires to be a part of your life, to be your Lord in every area of life: the God of your life, your marriage, your family, your job, and your money. He desires to work with you so that you not only have life, but have it abundantly. This abundant life is available through the Person of the Holy Ghost. He is not a promise; He is the Promise sent to you, to your children, and to those who are afar off (Acts 2:38–39). He is the “pow” in your power, the “super” in your supernatural, the “vic” in your victory, and the “glo” in your glory! He is the Lord who will work with you— when and if you go!
