1 John 2:20
King James Version
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One,
and ye know all things.
What is "unction"?
We clarified that in a "word study" post.
Who is the "Holy One"?
We also clarified that in the same post.
Believers receive the HOLY SPIRIT, through JESUS.
John 14:16
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
Many don't know the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.
And that's a shame, for SPIRIT has great function in these last days.
GOD's unction is His SPIRIT.
All things are made clear, through SPIRIT.
No one can teach us accurately about JESUS, except SPIRIT.
1 John 2:27
King James Version
27 But the anointing
which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
SPIRIT's power, and presence, are so underrated in this world.
Only because CHRIST's enemy wants to keep us ignorant, and deceived.
He was hoping, that at JESUS' death, we'd all be lost.
Only thing is, GOD knows the enemy.
What the enemy didn't know is that GOD's plan is through JESUS.
It's always been THROUGH Jesus.
Before JESUS went back to heaven, He prayed to GOD.
That GOD's SPIRIT would be upon the apostles.
Such is the LORD's love.
That His apostles wouldn't feel lost, and "orphaned".
For they would be teaching the gospel.
Scripture tells us what the LORD's plan was, through these verses.
It is not by accident JESUS calls the HOLY SPIRIT, the "Comforter".
The apostles, disciples, and all of us would be needing SPIRIT in the darker days ahead.
John 14:17
King James Version
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
John 16:7
King James Version
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;
It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Luke 24:49
King James Version
49 And, behold,
I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
Acts 1:8
King James Version
8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
JESUS taught us many things about the HOLY SPIRIT.
Such as what SPIRIT is tasked with:
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26
King James Version
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
John 16:8-12
King James Version
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin,
because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness,
because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment,
because the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:13
King James Version
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:14-15
King James Version
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
Unless you're a true born again, you can't experience Who, and What, SPIRIT is.
But JESUS told us what to expect:
John 3:3-8
King James Version
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
As born again, we are SEALED with GOD's SPIRIT:
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit
of promise,
Once sealed, no one can pluck us from the FATHER's hand:
John 10:29
King James Version
29 My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand.
Thus, what other oil is there?
The oil that the world offers?
Or this Unction from GOD?
Once you receive this Unction, you will be a completely changed person.
You will serve GOD alone.
