Sermon Tone Analysis

I’m going to *continue* *on* *the subject of the anointing of God*.

I think that *next week* we’re going to get into a *different subject*.

*For the last few weeks* *we’ve been focusing on* *“How we can walk and flow in the anointing of God.”* *When we do we’re going to see many miraculous miracles happen in our lives*.

*We’re going to see bad situations turn into victory*.

*We’re going to see sickness turn into healing*.

*We’re going to see lack turn into abundance*.

*I) **For the last 2 weeks or so* *we’ve taken up* *“The Fruit of the spirit.”*

*GAL 5:22-23*

*A) **We’ve seen the strong relationship* *between* *the fruit of the spirit* *and* *the Anointing*.

*1) **Both*, *working separately and together*, *give us the ability to wi*n.

*2) **No trouble*, *tribulation*, *or* *circumstance* *can overcome you* *if you are walking in the anointing* *and* *in the fruit of the spirit*.

*(a) **Once you have the Fruit of the spirit working in your life*, *NO HATE*, *DEPRESSION*, *INSECURITY*, *WAVERING*, *VIOLENCE*, *EVIL*, *DOUBT*, *OR PRIDE* *will prevail against you*.

*(b) **The fruit* of the spirit *guarantees victory*.

*(c) **You may not see their power* *to bring* you *victory* *immediately*, *but once you’ve paid the price* *and* *made the choice to walk in them*, *you will not lose*.

*B) **Nothing in God’s Word has been placed there randomly* *or* *haphazardly*.

*1) **There is an importance* *to the way* that *God has placed things in His Word*.

*(a) **The fruit of the spirit* *has been placed there in that order for a reason*.

*(b) **(GAL 5)* *has them listed* *“Love*, *joy*, *peace*, *longsuffering*, *gentleness*, *goodness*, *faith or faithfulness*, *meekness*, *and* *temperance.”*

*2) *The *1st* one *listed here is* *“LOVE.”*

*Without it*, *“JOY”* *will not work*.

*(a) **Without* *“JOY”* *“PEACE”* *will not work*.

*(b) **Without* *“PEACE”* *“LONGSUFFERING or PATIENCE”* *will not work*.

*(c) **Without* *“PATIENCE”* *“GENTLENESS”* *will not work*.

*(d) **Without* *“GENTLENESS”* *“GOODNESS”* *will not work*.

*(e) **Without* *“GOODNESS”* *“FAITHFULNESS”* *will not work* *and so on*.

*3) **But* *notice* *that without the fruit of LOVE*, *none of them will work*.

*(a) **Love is the key to operating* *in all the rest of the fruit of the spirit*.

*(b) **Paul essentially says the same thing* *in* (*1COR*)

*4) *Look at *1COR 13:13* (*Charity* – *Love*)

*(a) **We know* *the importance of FAITH and HOPE*, *but Paul says* *that LOVE* *is bigger and more important than the both of them* are.

*C) **Like the anointing*, *love gives you the ability to win against all odds*.

*1) **It literally* *never fails*.

(*1COR 13:8*)

*(a) **Why?* *Because God never fails* *and* *“God is love.”*

(*1JOHN 4:8*)

*(b) **Love is consistent* *and* *diligent* *in accomplishing* *what you need accomplished in your life*.

*(i) **It will not stop working* *until it has given you the victory*.

*2) **It even gives power to your faith*.

*(a) **(Galatians 5:6)* *Says*, *“Faith worketh by love.*”

*(b) **In* *(Mark 11:23)* *Jesus said*, *“Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”*

KJV

*(i) **Since love never fails*, *when you speak to the MOUNTAINS* *in your life* *with faith in your heart*, *and* *that faith is powered* *by the force of love*, *those mountains must move*.

*(ii) **Love makes your faith unstoppable*.

*(c) **Really* *that’s pretty easy to understand*.

*(d) *Look at *1JOHN 4:18*

* *

 

*(i) **1 of the biggest hindrances to FAITH* *is FEAR*.

*(ii) **But according to this V* *“Perfect love cast out all fear.”*

*(e) **Love stops those fears* *that would hinder your faith from working*.

*(i) **Love gives the power to your faith*, *making it unstoppable*.

*(ii) **Love will give you the victory*.

*D) *Turn with me to *JOHN 14:15*

*1) **Jesus plainly tells us that* *we demonstrate real love* *for Him* *when we obey Him* *and His Word*.

*(a) **1 of the best way to show our love for God is by doing His Word*.

*(b) *(*1 John 2:5*) *Says*, *“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”*

KJV

*2) **When you put these 2 truths together*.

(1) *Perfect love casts out all fear* *and* (2) *the love of God is perfected in us when we keep His Word*.

*(a) **It* clearly *tells us* *that OUR LOVE* *IS MADE PERFECT* *WHEN WE DO HIS WORD*, *and* *IT’S THAT PERFECT LOVE* *THAT CAUSES ALL FEAR TO GO*, *ENABLING FAITH TO WORK*.

*(i) **That’s why* (*1COR 13:8*) Says, *“Love never fails.”*

*(ii) **Love is a force that cannot be stopped*.

*II) **Yet*, *keeping His Word* *is only 1 side of the coin of love*.

*The flip side* *involves* *developing an intimate love relationship with God*.

*A) *Turn with me to *MATT 22:36-38*

*1) **If you want the power of God* *and* *the anointing* of God *in your life*, *you’re going to have to develop a love relationship with God the Father*, *God the Son* *and* *God the HS*.

*(a) **We talked about paying the price for the anointing*.

*Part of paying the price* *only comes through loving fellowship with the Father*.

*2) **Sometimes people miss it in their fellowship with the Father*.

*(a) **They have fellowship* *with the Father for the wrong reason*.

*(i) **Many times people fellowship with the Father* *just to get the power* *and the anointing* *in their life*.

*But God wants to have that love relationship with us*.

*B) *Turn to *PRO 18:24*

*1) **Jesus is a friend to all believers* *that sticks closer than a brother*.

*(a) **He is the 1* *that is with us always* *and that will never leave us*.

*(i) **We need to be spending that quality time with Him* *because we love Him*.

*When we do the power* *and* *the anointing* *will be there*.

*(b) **But if our only reason for coming to God* *is to get the power or anointing* *we’re on dangerous ground*.

*C) **MATT 7:22-23*

*1) **Many times people mistakenly think that they can express their love to the Father* *solely through their good works*.

And *that is 1 way*, *but it should not be the only way*.

*2) **Did you notice what Jesus said to those people that cast out devils*, *and prophesied in His name?*

*(a) **He said*, *“I never KNEW you: depart from me.”*

*3) **The word* *“KNEW”* *in* *V 23* *means*, *“To know by experience.”*

*(a) **It is the same meaning* *when we use the phrase*; *“I have come to know them well.”*

*(b) **In* *(Genesis 4:1)* *It says*, *“And Adam knew Eve his wife.”*

*(i) **That doesn’t mean* *that Adam got acquainted with Eve*.

*It means that there was intimacy between them*.

*(ii) **God wants to have an intimate relationship and fellowship with you*.

*III) *Turn to *PHIL 3:10*

*A) **Again that word* *“KNOW”* *means “To have an intimate relationship.”*

*1) **It was Paul’s desire* *to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a greater way*.

*2) **But notice something else that Paul says* here.

(*PHIL 3 10*) *“That I may know him*, *and* *the power of his resurrection*.”

*(a) **When you get to know Him* *through intimate fellowship*, *you’re going to know His power* *and* *His anointing*.

*(b) **The more your spend time with someone*, *the more you become like them*.

*(i) **When you spend time with the Lord* *you’re going to pick up His characteristics*.

*That means you’re going to become more like Him* *and you’ll pick up His power* *and* *His anointing*.

*B) **The power* *and the anointing of God* *are not just for preacher*, *and it is not just for a select few*.

*1) **It’s God’s desire that you operate in the anointing*.

*(a) **He wants you clothed you* w*ith His Power* *and His ability*.

*(b) **It’s His ability* *that will give you the power to get results*.
