CONTENTS

THE ANOINTING OF the Holy Spirit is desperately needed and necessary today. Its power can be imitated but never duplicated. We must have the anointings irreplaceable presence, which no other religious effort or spiritual quest can match. This vital equipping of the believers life is often misunderstood and historically undertaught. The purpose of this book is to reveal mysteries of the anointing that will release the power of God to move in your life in a tangible way.

Scripture sanctions the believer in Jesus as both king and priest before God. We are given the unction to rise to the place of the high calling and to be everything He has promised us we can be. The anointing initiates and confirms our position in Christ Jesus.

Charles Spurgeon, in The Treasury of David, an exposition on Psalm 23, wrote: Every Christian is a priest, but he cannot execute the priestly office without unction, and hence we must go day by day to God the Holy Ghost, that we may have our heads anointed with oil. A priest without oil misses the chief qualification for his office, and the Christian priest lacks his chief fitness for service when he is devoid of new grace.

In recent decades we have seen the emergence of seeker-sensitive churches and ministries that have almost been ashamed of the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the gifts God brings. The anointing has been hidden and covered, and a shallow and powerless generation of believers has replaced those filled with Holy Ghost power. God is going to rescue this generation and restore His church in great power.

This book contains the antidote to the virus that has weakened the body of Christ. The anointing of God is what is required to release the huddled masses of a bound and oppressed generation. Get ready for God to ignite you with fire. The anointing of God fuels the fire of the Holy Spirit. Open your heart to a deeper level of Gods mighty anointing, and get ready to burn with fresh passion for God and His purpose for your life.

After nearly four decades of powerful ministry I went through the most painful season of my life. Ministers and believers are not exempt from mental, physical, or emotional pain. God never promised we would not go through hard times. He did promise we would not go through them alone. God has given us the guarantee of His Word that He will never leave us or forsake us.

This time in my life was an excruciatingly painful experience for my family. God sometimes needs to take us off the mountaintop and put us in the valley for us to learn. The valley we walked through lasted three long years. My wife, Suzanne, suffered a personal crisis that reached back decades into her own life. God saw her and our family through it all. Suzanne has shared this personal victory, and many have been encouraged and strengthened by her story.

Through this painful season I learned there are differences in the way God uses His anointing in our lives. There are different anointings that flow through Gods people. I didnt realize it until I went through this extremely difficult time in my life. I did not discover this in any school. Only the Holy Spirit could have revealed these things. I saw I could minister under the anointing and the anointing upon my office was not affected at all, yet at home my personal life was struggling.

As a result, I began to ask questions. I wondered how the struggle in my personal life and even the struggle in my spiritual life did not affect the anointing to minister in our live services. Then, to my amazement, I learned the anointing upon my ministry office has nothing to do with the anointing in my life. The anointing in my life is separate.

I began to search the Scriptures. The Lord said, Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers. He did not say one river. He did not say two or three rivers. God said rivers. He never told us how many rivers. I am still discovering the rivers. It was necessary for me to go through this painful season of my life to realize there are many rivers to the anointing. The Lord later restored my personal life spiritually, emotionally, and physically, but that period was a learning experience. Im glad there are no wasted years. God can use the pain in our lives for our growth. God does not waste our pain.

Romans 8:28 promises, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I can tell you this: had I not gone through this painful season, I would not be writing this book. I am writing this book because as I have shared this message worldwide, I have discovered this is not a widely known revelation. I have found this illumination of the Holy Spirit regarding the many rivers of the anointing is a fresh concept for Gods people. It is revelatory for me, and I have never read about it in a book or heard it taught before.

Let us now dive into the deep and discover the rivers of Gods precious anointing.

YOU ARE A spirit.

Let that sink in for just a moment. You are not a soul. You are not a body. You are a spirit. You have a soul. You live in a body. But you are a spirit. Thats who you are. Your body is not the real you. The real you is your spirit.

At the moment of your salvation, something dynamic happened. The person of the Holy Spirit became one with your spirit. The Scripture is clear on this in 1 Corinthians 6:17, where it says, He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. When the Holy Spirit and your spirit became one, at that moment, life, rebirth, cleansing, renewal, and regeneration took place. The moment this oneness between the Holy Spirit and your spirit took place, a mighty force was released. This force within us is what we call the anointing.
