Sermon Tone Analysis

1. Pre-Introduction

Joke

I heard about this minister that died.

He was standing in line at the Gates of Paradise and in front of him was a man dressed in a loud shirt, wearing blue jeans, sunglasses and a star of david necklace.

Peter asked "What's your name sir?"

He said, "My name is Joe Cohen, taxi cab driver, New York City."

Peter checked his list and handed him a Gold Staff and a silk robe and said, "welcome to heaven."

The minister stepped up and said, "I'm reverend Joseph Snow, Pastor of Saint Mary's Cathedral."

Peter checked his list and handed him a cotton robe and a wooden staff.

He said, "hey wait a minute.

That's not fair.

The taxi cab driver got a Gold Staff and a silk robe.

How could that be?" Peter said, "Sir, up here we work by results.

When you preached, people slept, but when he drove, people prayed."

Introduction

2.1.

Topic: You are freshly anointed to win.

2.2.

Define: The anointing empowers you for your God given destiny.

The anointing is the power of God placed on you by the Spirit of God to achieve the destiny of God for your life.

An Anointing is a divine empowerment.

It will help you do what you could not do.

The anointing will open doors before you, give you influence you never had before, make you prosper like you never imagine, grant you access to people and places you never thought possible.

The anointing of God takes you far beyond what your natural talents can ever do.

The anointing also destroys yokes.

A yoke is anything hold you back from your God given destiny.

Your yoke might be an addiction to alcohol, food or sex.

Your yoke might be a circumstance you are in right now like scarcity, lack of resources.

Your yoke might be your own fears, feelings of self-doubt or inadequacy.

Whatever might be holding you back, dragging you down, acting like bully to your God given destiny the anointing blasts it to pieces and give your freedom.

2.3.

Problem: You loose the empowering of the anointing when you get out of your lane.

The problem is that you will loose the empowering of the anointing when you start second guessing your God given destiny and get out of your lane.

You know what I mean by getting out of your lane?

Like:

Michael Jordan was in his lane when he was playing basketball.

When he started to try play baseball professionally: out of his lane.

Mr. T: great on the A-Team TV series but out of his lane singing a mother's day song.

Or when you are at work and you jump into something that shouldn’t concern you, or your mind is floating away from your daily goals/task at hand, try reminding yourself you need to Stay in Your Own Lane.

Or when your mind starts to drift back to self-defeating thoughts like "God will never heal me, I will never succeed, my children will never overcome that addiction, my life will never get any better."

You got to get your mind back into its lane and declare God's promises about you and your family.

When you get out of your lane.

However, you get out of it: bad career move, being a busy body, a gossip or letting your mind drift you will second guess your God given destiny, you will second guess yourself and step out of the empowering of God's anointing.

2.3.1.

Example: Second guessed my anointing and tried to start a church.

2.3.2.

Example: Lost the anointing to take the land when we second guessed God's power.

2.4.

Solution: When we stay in your lane will be stay freshly anointed to achieve your God given destiny.

2.4.1.

Declare these Three things to stay in an anointed lane:

2.4.1.1.

I am Anointed

“The Holy One anointed you, and you all know it.”

(, The Message)

2.4.1.2.

I am Instructed

“As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you.

But as His anointing teaches you about all things—and it is true and not a lie—and just as it has taught you, abide in Him.” (, TLV)

2.4.1.3.

I am Destined

“But they’re no match for what is embedded deeply within you—Messiah's anointing, no less!

You don’t need any of their so-called teaching.

Messiah's anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie.

Live deeply in what you were taught.”

(, The Message)

There is fair amount of disagreement as to what the preposition and pronoun are referring to: μένετε ἐν αὐτῷ in .

Some think it refers to Messiah, some to the Holy Spirit, some to the anointing itself.

The problem is that in Western thining we like to dice things up whereas if you were to ask John, the Jewish apostle, "Does this refer to the anointing, to the Holy Spirit or to the Messiah?"

He would say, "Yes!"

When you dwell on the teaching the anointing has give you by the Holy Spirit it will also point you back to the anointed one: Messiah Yeshua.

When Kepha received the anointed teaching by the Spirit about going to the Gentiles it pointed him back to Messiah and further revealed the Messiah to Kepha.

2.4.2.

In the lane of your anointing you will experience:

2.4.2.1.

Supernatural Access

2.4.2.2.

Supernatural Skills

““See what I’ve done; I’ve personally chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah.

I’ve filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and expertise in every kind of craft” (, The Message)

““Not only that, but I’ve given him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, to work with him.

And to all who have an aptitude for crafts I’ve given the skills to make all the things I’ve commanded you:” (, The Message)

The Spirit’s working shows not only in ordinary skilled labor, but also in the higher spheres of human knowledge and mental activity; for military genius, legal acumen, statemanship, and power to inspire the masses with enthusiasm are equally ascribed to it.

This is generally expressed in the words, “And the Spirit of the Lord came upon” such a hero, judge, statesman, or tribune of the people, especially in the days of the Judges, when it is said of Joshua, Othniel, Barak, Gideon, Samson, Samuel, and others that the Spirit of the Lord came upon them.

Also of Zerubbabel rebuilding the temple, it is said: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord.”

Even of the heathen king, Cyrus, we read that Jehovah had called him to His work and anointed him with the Spirit of the Lord—.

Abraham Kuyper, The Work of the Holy Spirit (New York; London: Funk & Wagnalls, 1900), 38–39.

2.4.2.3.

Supernatural Insight

Moses got insight about the Tabernacle of God.

The man in this synagogue that got super-natural insight about something I have been praying about for the future of Beth Messiah.

I have been praying privately about the obstacles standing in front of Beth Messiah.

Obstacles that are stopping us from fully experiencing God's anointing to see the full restoration and salvation of Israel.

Privately, I have been seeking the Lord on some very specific things.

And, I have been praying very specifically about the financial resources for the next building and what it will do, the purpose it will serve.

Then an older gentlemen in our congregation, one of our boomers.

God a word from the Lord to give to me.

And he did it the way we ask.

We ask people to give any prophetic word to Rabbi Lanning and it will be evaluated to see if it should even be passed along to me.

Believe it or not, I have received plenty of wrong words before and misguided words before and words given at the wrong time.

All of that happens and we do hold people accountable for this.

Prophecy does not exist without accountability.

Rabbi Lanning tested the spirits on this words, evaluated it, scrutinized it like he does.

And he passed it along to me sensing God's anointing on it.

He was right.

It was like this guy had read my private e-mail account.

God gave this man supernatural insight about what will happen in the future and how God is going to provide for the next building on our campus.

2.4.2.4.

Supernatural Power

says.

But the further we move away from God's destiny for our lives the further we move from the empowering of God's anointing.

says.

2.4.3.

You will stay freshly empowered when you stay in the lane of your God given destiny.
