Touch Not Mine Anointed
I CHRONICLES 16:13-22
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
(These were a people who were under an anointing of God to be His servants and to keep his laws and commandments)
14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; (This is God speaking to Israel)
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. (When you were in the minority)
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, (Notice – a supernatural power of God watching over them and protecting them – this is what is still protecting the nation of Israel today – look at the 6 day war in 1967 between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan (three fronts). Israel was against impossible odds, but they won the war in only 6 days because there was a prophecy of a supernatural protection place over them by God – the same army of angels that Gehazi saw that morning when Elisha asked God to open his eyes is the same army of angels that was present with Israel during that 6 day war and it is this same army of protection that is with the bride of this end time hour)
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Touch Not Mine Anointed
When we speak of anointing someone it is generally recognised as the act of applying oil (normally to the head of the person) as act to bring about a spiritual condition upon the person in a symbolic act to represent an anointing coming upon their human spirit in order for them to be able to carry out a task or the position of what God has ordained for them to carry out.
When a couple gets married – it always amazes me to see the anointing change on them from a single state to a couple state. It’s a spiritual change that takes place.
We are all familiar with spirits and different types of anointings. There is an anointing that comes over people at a rock concert or a football match. We can feel these things because we are spirits and an anointing is just a certain spirit falling upon your spirit like natural oil on your head to influence the way you think. Anointings can also come in different strengths – there can be strong or weak anointings, temporary or longer lasting anointings. Some people make decisions that later on they wonder what in the world came over them – that was maybe a wrong anointing or inspiration from the enemy to cause you to make that wrong decision.
**We are taught by the message of the hour that in the last days the true anointing of the Holy spirit would fall upon both the true and false seeds – the rain falls on the just and the unjust. This can be such a hard thing for many people to grasp.
THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0725M
57 The true vine and the false vine, both had the same anointing. The water fell on both of them. No wonder He warned us, "It would deceive the very Elected if it was possible."
58 Notice, they look the same. They're anointed the same. But notice, "By their fruit..."
***Their fruit is their teaching of the word – that is the fruit that Eve partook of in Eden, she ate a false interpretation of the word, it wasn’t an apple, it was a false interpretation of the word of God that led her to do what she did with the serpent.
I SAMUEL 24:1-6
1 ¶ And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. (One anointed king (King Saul) trying to destroy another anointed king because of jealousy.
David had only six hundred men with him – so with Saul’s 3000 men this was a 5 to 1 advantage to Saul’s side. That is often the way it is with us also, it seems like the opposition has a much greater advantage against us like Israel in the 6 day war did, but we know that David had been anointed by Samuel the prophet to be the next king of Israel, so because of this, David was invincible until that prophecy was fulfilled – so there was a supernatural power of God that was protecting David in order for that prophecy of his life to come to pass. **And we have to realise that we are also under this same supernatural protection of the prophecies concerning the end time gentile bride of this day. we have also been anointed by a prophet in this day by an eagle anointing)
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily. (David knew something more than what the advice of his men had said to him – we must also know this as well in this day)
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
6 And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD. (Saul was the first anointed king of Israel that the Prophet Samuel had anointed by the instruction of God)
The anointing of the spirit of God is necessary for a person to be able to carry out the prophesied task. It is the spirit of God that comes upon a man’s spirit that makes all the difference.
JOB 32:8
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
GENESIS 41:38
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? (Joseph – his wisdom was because of the spirit and the inspiration of the Almighty)
NUMBERS 27:18
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
I SAMUEL 10:1
1 ¶ Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head (Saul), and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
I SAMUEL 10:6
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. (An anointing can change a man into another type of man – from and coward to a hero, from a peasant to a king, from a sinner to a saint)
PROVERBS 18:14
14 ¶ The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
ZECHARIAH 12:1
1 ¶ The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
So when God anoints a person for a specific task, then there is a certain spirit of God that is released upon the person in order for them to achieve the purpose that the anointing was sent for by God.
PSALM 133:1-2
1 ¶ A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
So the anointing upon the head of the messenger for the age is to run down upon the entire body and anoint the whole body with the same anointing oil as the head. It is the anointing that breaks the yoke or the bondage of man over the people.
ISAIAH 10:27
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Luther’s anointing broke the bondage and yoke of the Catholic Church, and that same anointing of the word for that age ran down upon the body of believers for that age and broke the yoke of Rome that had held them for almost a thousand years.
Wesley’s anointing ran down upon the body of believers for his age.
Pentecost the same…
And in this age we have had an Eagle anointing in that God has anointed a prophet in this generation that the anointing of the spirit of the word has flowed down to the entire bride body of the believers of this age – the eyes is what brings the light into the body to enlighten the whole body. We are in the age of the eyes (prophet) and the light (Word of truth), as it is the same anointing that anointed the head has now come down to the body - you and I.
***During the seven Church ages there were four anointing’s released upon the people of the Loin anointing, Ox, Man and Eagle anointing in this last age. These four anointing’s overlaid the seven church ages and it was these anointing’s that were released upon the people by God that enabled them to carry out the work of God of the prophecy for their age.
Let’s study a little of how this anointing flows down from the prophet of the age to its fulfilment in the people.
I KINGS 19:9-16 This story is about Elijah after he had run from the threat of Jezebel because she swore that she was going to kill him within 24 hours, and we know that the anointing of God had left Elijah after he had killed the prophets of Baal, and when that anointing of God had left him all his courage faded away and he had run for his life in fear of this woman’s threat.
Then we find that he had become so depressed that he is asking God that he may die and then he goes to sleep under a juniper tree and God has to send an angel to feed him in order to revive his strength for the journey that laid ahead of him. Then he comes to this cave where the word of the Lord comes to him.
9 ¶ And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
Notice that the task of anointing Jehu as King over Israel had been given to Elijah to carry our this task (thou shalt anoint Jehu to be king over Israel) but when we look into the history of this we find that Elijah never did anoint Jehu King but this task was carried out by a young man under the instruction of Elisha of whom a double anointing of the spirit of Elijah had fallen upon.
**When we understand this it can explain to us many things that are often hard to piece together in the scriptures. It was this same anointing that flows down from Elijah to Elisha, and then to the ministry of this young man, and so it is the young man that carries out the actual job of what Elijah was commanded to do by God – and that is why sometimes in the message of the hour it seems like the prophet of God was supposed to fulfil something only to find out that that fulfilment is actually fulfilled by the bride body many years later when the season has come for these things to be fulfilled.
II KINGS 9:1-13
1 ¶ And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 ¶ Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
So we can see how the commandment of God for Elijah to anoint Jehu actually flowed down from the head prophet of the age to Elisha and then down to its fulfilment in this young man’s ministry.
It would have been the wrong timing for Elijah to have anointed Jehu; God had a specific season when he would release that anointing of Elijah through this young man who was under an eagle prophet anointing.
And as soon as Jehu was anointed by the young prophet that Elisha had sent, he straightway went out to accomplish the prophecy of Elijah concerning Jezebel.
So it is the anointing that is released upon a person by God in order for them to carry out the task of the prophecy that God wants achieve for that time, and this same anointing of God also acts as a protection upon that person to protect them for the purpose of what the prophecy has pronounced over them – in other words the anointed person becomes invincible until that prophet’s prophecy has fully come to pass.
That is why after David had been anointed by Samuel to become kind of Israel, he knew that nothing could destroy him until that prophecy had come to pass. ***He knew that there was a supernatural power of that prophecy protecting him. That is why he could face Goliath with a sling and a stone against a man with thick armour that not even a hardened steel headed spear could penetrate because he knew that he was invincible because of the anointing and the prophecy that had been spoken over him.
15-3 THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
Now remember this. Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts. But the Book of Revelation shows how that the antichrist spirit would come into the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes Satan, revealing his works (attempted destruction of God's people and the discrediting of God's word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the TRUE REVELATION of the TRUE CHURCH and what she is, what she stands for and that SHE CAN DO THE GREATER WORKS, she will be an invincible army. If they get a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, Satan will be powerless before her.
***Both Saul and David were anointed by the same prophet – Samuel, and so this is a very interesting portion of scripture as there are quite a few chapters that are showing us something concerning how that David was so careful not to touch Saul who had been anointed by a prophet of God even though he was acting in a way that to the natural thinking you would have a right to react – and that is what we have to be careful of in this hour, we have to also understand that we are not to touch the Lords anointed because there is also a part for them to play out.
Jesus didn’t stop Judas when he was anointed by the devil to betray the Lord because that was a part of the prophecy.
I SAMUEL 15:1
1 ¶ Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
I SAMUEL 16:10-15
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. (Notice – both Saul and David had both been anointed by the prophet Samuel who was the prophet of God for that hour)
14 ¶ But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. (the anointing changed – look at how his whole thinking changed with that anointing)
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
We have seen people in this message who have been anointed by the spirit of this end time prophet’s anointed message under this great eagle anointing of the revelation of this age, and then over the years we have seen an evil spirit come upon some of them and have seen how they have caused a lot of trouble against other anointed people of God who have also been anointed by the same prophet of this hour. But we must understand that there is a prophecy that they have to fulfil, and it is not for us to try to destroy them, leave that up to God to work out.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
377 Now He sanctified, with His Spirit and Blood, a Church, that He might make every promise in this last day be revealed. Now, see, He could go back and pick up what these other fellows has left off here, in the last days, and by His Holy Spirit reveal all the mystery of the Seven Seals. See, He is expressing Himself. That's His purpose. That's why He died. That's the second fold of His threefold manifestation. First, to express Hisself in Christ, then express Hisself through the Church. And the same thing, Christ was the Word, and the Church becomes the Word when it lets the Word go through them.
378 But when they accept a hybrid denomination, how can the Word go through it? It's grounded, then it causes a short and blows a fuse. See?
379 But when the current is flowing freely, the Word of God, It expresses Itself. "The works that I do shall ye be also." And in the last days it shall come to pass. "Behold I send to you Elijah the prophet, and he shall turn the hearts of the--of the children back to the Faith of the fathers."
380 And in there, there would be a time come forth when He could express Himself in fullness of His Godhead, Deity, through His Church, have the preeminences in this Church. Oh, my! What? The anointed Man; now the anointed people; oh, my, to bring back the anointed Bride and the Bridegroom. Anointed by (why?) accepting what Eve turned down, and Adam; coming back with the anointing of the Word, because He said, "My Word is Spirit." See, anointed with the Word. What Eve turned down, He comes back and we accept.
