Taught by the Anointing

 

“As for you, the anointing you received from him [Christ] remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.”

—1 John 2:27

One of the benefits of God choosing us to belong to Him comes forth in the anointing He has given us of His Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit comes to live in our bodies, we have direct access to God’s perfect will. Of course, to experience the fullness of this great gift, we must lay aside our own selfish wills and submit fully to God’s will.

In writing about this signal experience, the Apostle John penned these words, found in 1 John 2:27:

As for you, the anointing you received from him [Christ] remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

As we begin a new day, let’s agree to allow the Holy Spirit to continually teach us the things we need to know in order to please God and serve Him. If we do that, we will, indeed, become His choice ambassadors to our troubled and needy world.
