GOD'S ANSWER TO THE ANTICHRIST: HIS ANOINTING

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “But you have an anointing from the Holy One” (1 John 2:20). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations God’s answer to the antichrist: His anointing. Marine scientists say that ocean waves travel thousands of miles, under the surface, across apparently calm stretches. Approaching land, they develop a majestic crescendo, hunch their mighty shoulders, and build up in rapid momentum and volume, to burst finally and magnificently upon the shore.  A glorious swell of Holy Spirit power is gathering to a spontaneous crescendo today, worldwide, as if hurrying to the shore. The lifting of the waves proves that the shore cannot be far. Jesus is coming soon! It is the last hour! With the outpouring of His Spirit, the Lord gave believers power to do the job: to evangelize and send out missionaries. John wrote: “As you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know it is the last hour.… But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things” (1 John 2:18, 20). The church is being anointed for the last hour. The spirit of the age would be antichrist or anti-anointed. John’s warnings concerning the last times have come home to us today, striking with an almost frightening truth about our times.  The spirit of antichrist permeates human thinking and society, causing moral collapse.  Hostile elements are raging worse and worse, like the early moments of a gathering storm. God’s answer: His anointing for an anti-anointed latter day. He will never allow the devil to get the upper hand.  The outpouring of the Spirit is His special provision for the last hour: “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh….Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord” (Joel 2:28, 31).  Christ’s whole body on earth will be mobilized and armed for the last onslaught of the enemy. Remember: Satan, the eternal loser, will lose again. Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke. Copyright © 2016 by Reinhard Bonnke.
