PROMISE #76 - MARCH 17
Promise #76:
My anointing will teach you all you need to know.
1 John 2:27 (WEB)
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
In today's promise, the Apostle John tells us that the anointing from God abides in us and will teach us all the things that we need to know. The Greek word used for anointing in this passage is charisma, which is the root word for charismatic.
The Enhanced Strong's Lexicon defines it as anything smeared on, unguent, or ointment. This usually describes the ceremony process when a priest is anointed and launched into public ministry. It is interesting to think that God has smeared us with His presence so that we, too, can live our lives on earth as kings and priests (Revelation 1:6).
This is an amazing truth...We are the temple of His Holy Spirit and the abiding place of God Almighty Himself! God has promised to lead and guide us in all truth if we have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying.
Today, I pray that we will be aware of the anointing that our God and Father has smeared on us, identifying us as His beloved sons and daughters. May each of us have the confidence to know that we are not alone in this life, but the anointing will lead us and teach us everything we need to know.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank You for anointing me with Your precious Holy Spirit so I can learn Your ways and be gently guided along the paths I should take. I pray that today I will remember that I am not alone on this journey, but have the resources of heaven living within me to teach me everything I need to know.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
My anointing will teach you all you need to know.
