1 Corinthians 14:18, Philippians 1:15-18, Philippians 4:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:16. He (Paul) has an experience with it. And the anointing is one vital source of unimpeded joy, ever growing joy. Church Gist. In Psalm 45, the Bible calls it, the oil of gladness. The anointing is the oil of gladness and one way to facilitate that oil is through praise as a lifestyle.
- So as the anointing comes on your life today, in the precious name of Jesus, from today forward, your head will not be bowed down!
- In the precious name of Jesus, from today forward, your hands will ever be lifted praising God!
The way out of the valley is to praise your way out. You can't come out of the valley without praises that emanate from the heart honouring Jesus because He has committed Himself to bail you out. Church Gist. Like He did for Paul and Silas, you are coming out in the name of Jesus!
So reach out today for one thing. “Lord, I desire that the anointing today will be to me the oil of joy, the oil of gladness and the garment of praise and let it destroy every trace of dépréssion around my life. Church Gist. Because I know that you are committed to my rescue, you are committed to my freedom and I thank you for it.” When that becomes your way of life, forget about the devil.
- The truth here this morning is this, by this anointing, you are entering a new phase of your life!
- You are entering into a new phase of your life!
- A phase of joy and rejoicing!
- A phase of blessing the Lord at all times and His praise continually in your mouth!
- That is the new phase you are entering into!
What a joy? When that happens, you gain continuous access to the secret of the Word. Jeremiah 15:16. So when you are saved, you have the fruit of joy. Church Gist. When you are baptized in the Holy Ghost, you have the oil of joy and you gain access to the Word of God, you gain access to joy and rejoicing. So you are a bundle of joy by redemption.
Can I have you say with me? “I am a bundle of joy by redemption. I refuse to sell off my birthright. From this day forward, joy and rejoicing becomes my new way of life.” In case you are in any valley today, you say to yourself before God; “I’m coming out of this valley as I keep celebrating my God and His faithfulness. Church Gist. My time to be out has finally come. My prison doors are opened. My chains are falling off. The fetters are broken up. I'm free at last. I'm free forever.” You start celebrating God like that, that is what makes it happen.
