The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit

Updated: 8 hours ago


 

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit


 

1 John 2:18-29

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


18 Little children,

it is the last time:

and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,

even now are there many antichrists;

whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us {at Church},

but they were not {genuine conversions};

for if they had been,

they would no doubt have continued with us {in church}:

but they went out,

that they might be made manifest {by God} that they were not {one} of us.

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One

{inside you that you received when you confessed Christ},

and ye know all {about this and all about all} things

{but it must drawn out with scripture - Pr. 20:5}.

21 I have not written unto you {about this} because ye know not the truth

{about it within you},

but because ye know it

{deep within the Holy Spirit inside you},

and that no lie is of the truth

{which is inside the Bible and its author, the Holy Spirit within you}.

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?

He is antichrist,

that denieth the Father and the Son

{because they are not anointed by God}.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son,

the same hath not the Father:

[but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you

{through the Spirit & the word},

which ye have heard from the beginning

{that Jesus is the Son of God}.

If that which ye have heard {about Jesus} from the beginning {from us} shall remain in you,

ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father {unlike those who left us}.

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us,

even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you

{saying that there is no such thing as the Christ, but about anything}.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth {inside of} you,

and ye need not that any man teach you {about anything so that they cannot lie to you}:

but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things

{from the word & the Spirit within},

and is truth,

and is no lie,

and even as {the Spirit} hath taught you,

ye shall abide in him {by faith that Jesus is the Son of God}.

28 And now,

little children,

abide in him {through the truth of the Word};

that,

when he shall appear {in the sky in the rapture},

we may have confidence {that we are going to Him in the sky},

and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29 If ye know that he is righteous,

ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.


 

My Testimony About the Holy Spirit


 

In 1991 I had a real encounter with God. That day I was baptized into the Holy Spirit. I saw Jesus on the altar with a big smile. He was a man dressed in white robes. I walked out of the church with two balls of energy on both of my hands and I felt light like I was floating ...

Since then, the Holy Spirit has never left me no matter what I did, and He is my Rock. No one can lie to me about anything in the Bible because I have God inside me, and His Presence in me is more real than anything in life. You can't tell me that the Bible isn't real because I received the Holy Spirit through what the Bible says about faith in Jesus, and I can sense Him inside me ... a sweet taste on my tongue, a sweet smell in my nose, a joy that makes life happy.

I'm saying all this because I want to say something good about pastor Benny Hinn that comes from knowing God personally through the anointing. But first, I want to talk about the Holy Spirit to give you an understanding about Him. The baptism into the Holy Spirit.


 

The Baptism into the Holy Spirit


 

Acts 2:38-39

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


The Holy Spirit Might Come Upon You After Water Baptism


38 Then Peter said unto them,

Repent,

and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,

and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise {of the Spirit} is unto you,

and to your children,

and to all that are afar off

{in other nations and in the distant future},

even as many {of the remnant}

as the Lord our God shall call

{to eternal life through faith in Jesus}.


The Holy Spirit Might Come Upon You Before Water Baptism


Acts 10:43-48

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


43 To {Jesus} give all the prophets witness,

that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

44 While Peter yet spake these words,

the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,

as many as came with Peter,

because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water,

that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.

Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.


The Holy Spirit Comes to You Because You Believe in Jesus


Water doesn't save us. It is a "sacrament" like Communion is. Those are the two New Testament sacraments. Water baptism and communion. The Holy Spirit, God, is the Savior. Your faith in Jesus whether you confess Christ or believe in your heart, the Holy Spirit will come and save you through His baptism. The baptism into the Holy Spirit.

The common denominator in both passages above, is that the people believed in Jesus and were anointed by the Holy Spirit, which is salvation ...


Titus 3:3-7

Authorized (King James) Version


For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,

disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures,

living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

not by works of righteousness which we have done,

but according to his mercy he saved us,

by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

that being justified by his grace,

we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.


 

You Can Never Predict What Way the Holy Spirit Will Go Next

Because the Holy Spirit is Moves Suddenly

He's Unpredictable & Spontaneous

This Applies to Getting Born Again

You Cannot Tell Whether He Will Fall Before or After Water Baptism


 

John 3:5-8

Authorized (King James) Version


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.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh;

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.

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.


 

The Bible Makes You Believe in Jesus


 

Romans 10:13-17

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord {Jesus} shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?

and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 and how shall they preach,

except they be sent {by God to preach}?

as it is written,

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace

{with God by believing in His Son Jesus},

and bring glad tidings of good things!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.

For {Isaiah} saith,

Lord, who hath believed our report

{in the Old Testament prophecies that Jesus is the Son of God}?

17 So then {to believe in Jesus} cometh by hearing,

and hearing by the word of God

{those Old Testament prophecies testifying about Him}.


 

The Gifts of the Spirit

The Manifestation of the Holy Spirit


 

1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren,

I would not have you ignorant.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles,

carried away unto these dumb idols,

even as ye were led.

Wherefore I give you to understand,

that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:

and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same {Holy} Spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord {Jesus}.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same {Father} God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit {inside Christians} is given to every man to profit withal.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;

to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

to another faith by the same Spirit;

to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 to another the working of miracles;

to another prophecy;

to another discerning of spirits;

to another divers kinds of tongues;

to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,

dividing to every man severally as he will.


 

The Great Commission


 

Matthew 28:19-20

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


Teach


19 Go ye therefore,

and teach all nations,

baptizing them in {water in} the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Ghost:

20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:

and, lo,

I am with you alway,

even unto the end of the world.

Amen.


Matthew 10:7-8

Authorized (King James) Version


Preach


And as ye go, preach, saying,

The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick,

cleanse the lepers,

raise the dead,

cast out devils:

freely ye have received,

freely give.


Matthew 24:42-47

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


Teach & Preach in Church


42 Watch therefore:

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this,

that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,

he would have watched,

and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready:

for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant,

whom his lord hath made ruler over his household,

to give them meat {Jer. 15:16}

in due season {Jer. 3:15}?

46 Blessed is that servant,

whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you,

That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.


Mark 16:15-18

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


Baptize


15 And {Jesus} said unto them,

Go ye into all the world,

and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe;

In my name shall they cast out devils;

they shall speak with new tongues;

18 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.


Luke 10:19-20

Authorized (King James) Version


Exorcize


19 Behold,

I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,

and over all the power of the enemy:

and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,

that the spirits are subject unto you;

but rather rejoice,

because your names are written in heaven.


John 20:21-23

Authorized (King James) Version


Omit or Retain Sin


21 Then said Jesus to them again,

Peace be unto you:

as my Father hath sent me,

even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this,

he breathed on them,

and saith unto them,

Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 whose soever sins ye remit,

they are remitted unto them;

and whose soever sins ye retain,

they are retained.


2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Authorized (King James) Version


Reconcile


17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,

he is a new creature:

old things are passed away;

behold,

all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God,

who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,

and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 to wit,

that God was in Christ,

reconciling the world unto himself,

not imputing their trespasses unto them;

and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,

as though God did beseech you by us:

we pray you in Christ’s stead,

be ye reconciled to God.


2 Timothy 4:1-5

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}


Evangelize


I charge thee therefore before God,

and the Lord Jesus Christ,

who shall judge the {living} and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 preach the word;

be instant in season,

out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;

and they shall turn away their ears from the truth,

and shall be turned unto fables.

But watch thou in all things,

endure afflictions,

do the work of an evangelist,

make full proof of thy ministry.


 

Now that you've read all this and know it, don't you see Pastor Benny Hinn doing all this? ...


 

My Point About the Holy Spirit


 

The point about the Holy Spirit that I want to Make using these two passages above, is that the Holy Spirit comes upon you after you believe in Jesus. He may fall before or after water baptism. Faith in Jesus saves us, not the water. Water baptism is a "sacrament". Not salvation.

In both of these scripture passages the Holy Spirit falls after they believe in Jesus. In Acts 10:43-48, the Holy Spirit fell upon them immediately before they said anything about believing in Jesus ... that's called faith created by the hearing of the Word about Jesus through preachers. This is spoken about in Romans 10. That preachers create faith in Jesus inside people's hearts when they preach what the Bible says about Him to them, and they get saved when they believe in Jesus by hearing what the Bible says about Him ...

In Acts 2:38, 39 the Bible says that Holy Spirit falls after people believe in Jesus. Believing in Jesus in your heart is what gets us saved. After this, the Holy Spirit saves us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit when He comes to live inside our bodies through the baptism into the Holy Spirit. This is called getting born again when the Holy Spirit resurrects your spirit man and gives you a new heart.


 

My Point About Pastor Benny Hinn


 

"I See the Holy Spirit Doing the Same Things Inside Him as Me"


I know the Holy Spirit and the Bible, and I see the Bible being lived out through the Holy Spirit in Benny Hinn. So, I know he's a real Christian and that's why I open my heart to his services, no matter what people say.

Anyone that doesn't know the Bible will say that Benny Hinn is a heretic. Anyone who knows the Bible will see the Holy Spirit in him and know that he's real. I know the Bible and the Lord that's why I listen to him. I know that anyone that says that Benny Hinn is a false prophet doesn't know the Bible.

So, he's had sins ... everyone does. We're all under grace and the Christian life is about using God's grace to learn to stop sinning (Rom. 6:1-14). It's called "progressive sanctification" (Rom. 6:11/ 2 Cor. 3:18/ Phil. 1:6; 2:12, 13/ Jn. 17:14-19 - also called "mortification" - Rom. 8:12, 13/ Col. 3:4-6). God's grace perfects us through mistakes. You have to keep trying to obey God and fall until you fall no more and have perfected God's character of obedience in you. Grace is there to help us stop sinning (Rom. 6).

Though there are penalties for our sins with the Holy Spirit, such as losing the anointing for a while and losing ministries, we are under grace and God is about getting people back from sin because He never leaves us. He's called "the hound of heaven" always following you to help you ... but that's the point ... if you know the Bible and have been baptized into the Holy Spirit, you'll know Benny Hinn is real ... you'll know from personal experience who's real and who's not and it's the Bible and knowing the Holy Spirit through the baptism into the Holy Spirit with spiritual gifts that makes the difference.

So, I know from personal experience that people that abuse Benny Hinn are not real ... if you were, God's love for His church in you would tell everyone that you're real (Jn. 13:34, 35) ... if you don't have the Holy Spirit inside you, don't know the Bible and don't have the love of God inside you shed abroad by the Holy Spirit inside you, then you're not real (Rom. 8:9) ... you might believe in Jesus, but are you born again? You believe in Jesus? So does the devil (Jms. 2:19, 20). Have you been born again?

After I met the Holy Spirit in church that day (through the baptism into the Holy Spirit), I was familiar from regular Bible study with the gifts of the Spirit and getting people baptized into the Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches us that our mission is to get people baptized into the Holy Spirit. Preaching, teaching and laying hands on people to get them anointed is what we do as Christians. We do the book of Acts in our personal lives.

So, after I got saved, I recognized the Holy Spirit inside of Benny Hinn doing the works. I was doing the same things before I met Benny Hinn because the Bible says to do these things. So, what Benny Hinn does when he anoints people with the power of the Holy Spirit, is what the Bible says to do. It's what all Christians do.

When I watch Benny Hinn on TV, I see him as another Christian trying to get people saved with the baptism into the Holy Spirit. Living inside of God is salvation. Believing in Jesus opens the door for the Holy Spirit to lived inside you. But believing is not salvation. There are believers and there are born again believers (Acts 19:1-6).

The Holy Spirit is our salvation (Ti. 3:4-7). I know I'm saved because I sense the Holy Spirit inside me. No one can tell me that God isn't real because I feel Him inside my spirit. I see the Holy Spirit working inside Benny Hinn. He's not a fake. I see the Gospel of repentance and New Birth being preached in Benny Hinn just like in all Christians who know the Word & the Spirit.

Thus, these video of Benny Hinn below is a real Holy Ghost encounter ...


 

The Ministry of the Holy Spirit


 

I have to get into the ministry of the Holy Spirit so that you can have scripture on what he does in our salvation and in our lives. He's God. I have written about this years ago. So, I'm going to paste in a Button below my message called "The Ministry of the Holy Spirit" for you to read about and get to know God the Holy Spirit ...
