Anointed
One
I am your Christ, your anointed one, the Messiah whom the Father has anointed as
head over His body, so that all the fullness of the godhead
might dwell in His body and
manifest the nature and the power of the living Lord! The oil is fragrant and an offering of
worship that delights the Father’s heart, but it is also the offering of His heart, the offering of His nature, the offering of His power, to bring My body into the fullness and
revelation of its spiritual inheritance. As the oil was poured on Aaron’s head and
flowed down over his robes, so My Father has anointed Me, His Son, so that the anointing oil might flow down
over my garments, the garments that clothe My body, seeping
into them, permeating them, and flowing right down to the hem, to the lowest place that none might miss
being clothed and endued with an anointing from on high. You have smelled its
fragrance. You have cupped your hands to
catch its flow and
you have wondered why it slips through your fingers
leaving but a fleeting impression of the Spirit’s presence. You cry out for more,
your
hearts having once tasted, hungering for a fullness, longing to be clothed from on high. My anointing does not come and go. It flows continually from my head to cover each one of you. But notice my children, how Aaron was clothed, for the oil of his anointing touched not his flesh, neither, my children, can my anointing rest
upon your flesh. The flesh is at war with the spirit and the anointing cannot rest
upon the flesh. The flesh must be put to death. The anointing rests upon the garments that cover the flesh, for the anointing brings life and power. What garments are you wearing
tonight, child of mine? Seek not the clothing of this
world, the designer world of self-esteem and self-elevation, of
self-righteousness and self-importance. Seek the garments I have prepared for you. Having washed yourselves in
the blood of the Lamb, Clothe yourselves with
garments of praise. Clothe yourselves with
humility and obedience. Clothe yourselves with
compassion. Seek not to place your
hands upon My head. The
hand of My Father’s blessing rests there. Neither seek to grab My hand and place it upon your head, although your need is great. Rather be like the woman with
the issue of blood, who,
having sought the answers of the world and come to the end of herself, risked all by falling on her knees in the midst of the crowd and, stretching her hand toward the hem of My garment, touched the anointing of heaven for herself. You cannot enter fully into
My purposes for
you without My anointing. Aaron wore many layers of clothes. They were made to fit his body, his height,
his girth. The garments of praise and the garments of
humility and the garments of righteousness and the
garments of compassion are prepared for you. As you each clothe yourselves individually, you will join and become one in My name. And as you join together you will become a seamless garment upon which the oil of the anointing will flow. It was by impartation that the sons of Aaron received their
anointing, an impartation that seeped into them as they put on their
father’s priestly garments. It was by impartation from the mantle of Elijah that Elisha
received his double portion, but first he rent his own clothes in two so that nothing of himself would hinder the anointing. Will you rend your clothes,
the clothes of self-effort and striving? Will you rend the garments
that cover your fears and your shame, your confusion and your uncertainties? For I have washed you whiter
than snow. Take
off the cloak of shame and put on the robe of righteousness. Join together in gentleness
and understanding. Give
honour and forgiveness one to another. Be those who build up and encourage and comfort. Let the garment I would wrap you in become seamless with nothing, absolutely nothing, hindering the flow of
My anointing. For there, My beloved, My Father commands His blessing! Heather
