I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. Ephesians 1:18-19.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. These are My true Words. Revelation 19:9. To get an invitation you must be known, wanted, and appropriately dressed.
But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:11-14.
The anointing qualifies you, clothed in power from on High.
He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising God. Luke 24:46-53.
The anointing is the pledge, the guarantee, of your inheritance, the promise of eternal life.
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14.
When you opened your heart to Jesus as Lord and Savior after you heard the good news of your Salvation, the forgiveness of your sins by His blood, I established you in righteousness in Christ, anointed you, and I sealed you in Christ with the Holy Spirit and I put My Spirit in your heart as the pledge of your inheritance. And what is your inheritance? Resurrection to eternal life lived forever with Me and the whole family of faith in a Kingdom beyond all you can ask and imagine. “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9. A magnificent Kingdom filled with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. It is a place of light, beauty, majesty, holiness, and unceasing rejoicing. There is no sickness, crying, mourning, grief, pain, sorrow, or death. But above all it is filled with love, pure love. You have never lived in an atmosphere of pure, tangible love that penetrates every part of you and of the entire Kingdom, which is vast, bigger than the universe and beyond, but all there are known in a unique and intimate way. There is a oneness of honor and love that you have never experienced in this world, even at its best. It truly is the place of living “happily ever after.”
And once you have the anointing within and have been sealed in Christ, just as Christ is a gift to you, so now I give you as a gift to Christ and entrust Him with the charge to raise you up on the Last Day. He will not lose anything that I entrust to His care.
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:37-40.
I want you to be as clever as snakes when it comes to dealing with Satan’s distractions but as innocent as doves with respect to knowing evil. I want you to discern evil and stay away from it. It is one thing to discern it, it is another thing to “know” it intimately. You do not want to know evil, it will corrupt and deface you. Stay away from it. The anointing will teach you all things and warn you of the things to come. One of the gifts (grace endowments) of the Holy Spirit is the discerning of spirits and you will need it in the present age for there are many spirits of deception that are misleading many. But unclean spirits of deception should not frighten you. You have the anointing in you to guide you to all truth every time and all the time.
The anointing enlightens the eyes of your heart so that you may see as I do and not as the world does. The anointing keeps you strong and active in the world, but at the same time it sets you apart as not of the world. The worldly only see what is going on before their physical eyes but you can see past that by the Spirit so that you see behind what is occurring in the natural to what is taking place in the supernatural. You are clothed with power from on High.
What do I mean when I say the I enlighten the eyes of your heart? Your heart has eyes, spirit eyes, that see into realms where angels walk and where I talk. When you are drawn from deep within by a pull of your spirit in response to the leading of My Spirit in you, that is when you are seeing and hearing with your heart. And there are times when I lift the veil of the flesh and let you see My glory and that of the holy angels, but primarily, I enlighten the eyes of your heart to see the path of good deeds I prepared in advance for you to walk in. In other words, the anointing enlightens the eyes of your heart to know My Will by filling your heart with all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Just as I express who I AM in My Names that contain Covenant promises, such as I AM the LORD your healer, I AM the LORD your righteousness, I AM the LORD that looks ahead and provides for you, I AM the LORD your refuge, I AM the LORD your fortress, I AM the LORD who sanctifies you, I AM the LORD your Shepherd, I AM the LORD your redeemer, deliverer, rock, and stronghold, so also My Spirit has Names that contain promises: And the Holy Spirit rests upon you as He does upon Jesus, clothed in power from on High.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD and He will delight in the fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2-3.
Seven spirits of My Spirit that enlighten the eyes of your heart. And these promises of My Spirit in you and on you, are the seven eyes of the Lamb in the center of the throne of grace in the Holy of holies in Heaven.
And I saw in the center of the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. Revelation 5:6.
My prophet Zechariah also witnessed the seven enlightened eyes of the spirit.
Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch. For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. ‘In that day,’ declares the LORD of hosts, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.’” Zechariah 3:8-10.
The Branch, the shoot from the stump of Jesse, is the Messiah, the anointed One. He removed all your sins in one day, the day that Abraham saw and rejoiced, the day when Jesus became sin for you and bore all the just punishment due for it in your place and went down to the dust of death for you all.
And He is the cornerstone upon which the foundation of the world is laid. And in Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, the seven spirits, the seven eyes that go to and fro across the earth looking for enlightened hearts which are hearts tuned towards Me, those with anointed hearts, clothed for the wedding feast.
For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth. Zechariah 4:9-10.
And what do I tell you in the verses following the revelation that the seven eyes are My eyes and I am Spirit.
Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?” And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?” So he answered me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord (Adonai) of the whole earth.” Zechariah 4:11-14.
The Holy Spirit proceeds from Me as does Jesus as well. I am the source of the anointing, My Spirit is the anointing, and Jesus is the only way you can receive the anointing.
What do you know about the anointing now? It is My love poured into your heart. It is My love in your heart. And the anointing has a voice, a Name, and eyes. And the anointing oil from the two witnesses who are standing by Me are Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Anointed Ones, Jesus and Melchizedek.
I love you. Open the eyes of your heart that you may really see all that I have for you in Jesus and the gift He came to give you, the Holy Spirit, the anointing. Be clothed in power from on High and you are always dressed and ready for the wedding feast. I am looking for the anointing.
For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:9-14.
