Anointed With Power

Scripture

1 John 2:27 But the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in him.

Acts 1:8 But you will hold [dynamic] power in your hands, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you:

Main Part

A. Power of The Anointing

1. God has Given us Supernatural Power to Deal with Things

b. It comes from the realm of the Spirit
c. The realm of the spirit is always greater than the natural realm
d. Our natural world was created by the spiritual realm 
e. We live in a spiritual realm, like a fish in water

Acts 17:27 .. he is not far from every one of us:
28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; 

f. But to tap into its power we need to move out of the natural and into the supernatural

2. Two Sources of Power Are Given to Us

a. The Internal Anointing Gives us Authority

i. With it we can use the name of Jesus

Philippians 2:10 So that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, those who are in heaven, those who are on the earth, those who are in the world below [the realm of the dead];
11 And every tongue should acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, leading to the glory and honor of God the Father.

b. The External Anointing Gives us Ability

i. With it we can increase our authority
ii. Traffic cop with a bazooka

c. By Combining Both we can Overcome Demons and Sickness 

Mark 16:17 And these miraculous signs will accompany those that have become believers; In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18  They will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on sick people, and they will become well.

B. How We Get The Anointing

1. The Internal Comes at the Rebirth

c. He brings a mantle of protection

2. The External Comes With The Baptism

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Repent, [ change your thinking] and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will take hold of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
