Have you ever noticed how disunity can spread through a community like wildfire, while unity feels like a precious, rare gift? This deeply personal exploration of Psalm 133 reveals what happens when God's anointing oil of unity flows through His people.
We dive into the spiritual battle that threatens unity in our relationships, churches, and families. Learn to recognize what I call "Holy Ghost gossip" – those conversations that begin with "we need to pray for so-and-so" but quickly devolve into something that wounds the body of Christ. I share my own raw struggles with maintaining self-control when hurt and offended, and how the Holy Spirit provides the power to choose unity even when our flesh wants to "start fires."
The breakthrough comes through understanding our spiritual identity: "No longer I that lives, but Christ lives in me." When we surrender our personal agendas and allow the Holy Spirit to develop self-control in our lives, we experience what I call the "breaker anointing" – God's power to break through obstacles, heal divisions, and create authentic community.
You'll discover practical strategies for responding to division, maintaining peace in conflict, and experiencing the "refreshing dew" of God's presence that comes when believers dwell together in harmony. This message speaks to anyone who has felt the pain of broken relationships and longs for the healing that only comes through unity with Christ and His people.
Ready to move beyond surface-level fellowship into the transformative power of true spiritual unity? This episode offers both the challenge and the hope we need for the journey.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Word of God with you, to be able to see
transformation in each one ofyour lives, to see you growing
and moving.
You know what the scripture isit's no longer I that liveth,
but Christ that lives in me.
No longer I that liveth, butChrist lives in me.
(00:20):
Amen.
Everything that we say and doshould be Christ-centered, amen,
amen.
Everything that we say and doshould be Christ centered, amen,
amen.
God.
Bless these children.
Bless these children, lord, asthey're going to their place of
worship.
Bless the teachers, lord.
Bless those that are assistingLord.
Let them have an amazing timein the presence of Jesus.
(00:41):
Amen, amen, amen.
Well, you know, last week wetalked about the protection of
Jesus Christ, the protection ofthe canopy that God has us under
.
Well, also in that vision, aswhen Melody gave the tongue and
(01:01):
the Lord showed me theinterpretation, he showed me
that that canopy was drippingwith the anointing oil, and so I
studied that out.
And when the oil is dripping,and when the oil is dripping, it
(01:34):
is a blessing upon our lives.
It is an opportunity for eachone of us to have growth in
Jesus Christ.
It is a call to servanthood.
How many here want to serve theLord, jesus Christ, with all of
your heart, all of your mightand all of your being.
Amen.
It is a promise of his healingupon our lives.
(01:58):
You know we need healing in ourlives and more than just being
healed physically, we needhealed mentally, spiritually and
physically.
The oil dripping is a messageof hope and encouragement that
(02:22):
God is faithful.
The dripping with the oil isthe presence of God and he is
the anointing oil.
He is that healing Amen.
When God shows us his anointingthe oil of God.
(02:42):
Anointing the oil of God, it'san abundance.
Do you desire to live in theabundance?
You know it tells us in Psalms23 that we do not live in lack
of one good thing, that we are apeople who live in the
abundance of Jesus Christ.
He brings healing andrestoration with that anointing.
(03:04):
He brings healing andrestoration with that anointing
and he brings supernatural gifts.
The anointing oil teaches, itpreaches.
(03:24):
It teaches, it preaches, itheals and it brings prophecy.
But the anointing oil that Godwas showing in me is a spirit of
unity.
God desires unity among thebody of Christ.
He desires us to stand as one,not like scattered sheep.
He wants us to come into unitywith him and one another.
(03:47):
First of all, we have to be inunity with God, desiring his
perfect will in our lives.
That's a hard one, because, youknow, we all want our own way.
It's just how we are.
We're people that want our ownway.
So it takes a lot ofsurrendering to operate under
(04:08):
the will of God.
Amen.
So I was.
I think I have this alltogether, and then this morning
he changes everything.
But here we go right.
Bear with me.
(04:28):
I want to do the Spirit of Godjustice, I want to be in His
will through this message and Ijust want to be a blessing to
the body of Christ today.
So Chris comes to me a few weeksago and she said, holly, when
(04:50):
we were in the prayer room, shesaid I saw the trumpet being
blown.
And she said what do you thinkthat means?
Well, you all know I'm acontemplator, so I have to go
look steady, sniff it all out.
Well, when there is a trumpetbeing blown, god is calling for
(05:14):
unity.
And so Pastor Michael, rogerand I, we are raising up
disciples.
A disciple is a disciplinedlearner, and so the girls that
sit under women of God and tabletalk.
I believe that they are growinginto mighty disciples, and so
is the rest of the church, butto be a disciplined learner.
(05:36):
That means that it's no longerI that live with Christ, but
it's you that lives within me,you that lives within me, amen.
And so back to the unity.
Sisters and brothers in Christ,we have a family bond, is that
right?
Like you guys are my family, Ispend more time with all you
(05:57):
than I do my family.
Is that true, right?
So you're my family and we havea spiritual connection with
each other.
Do you believe that?
It is based on our faith inJesus Christ?
It's a unity that goes deep andit is a unity that connects us.
(06:21):
We're connected together inunity and so when we're
connected together in unity,it's hard to break.
Okay.
But if one of us has got asloppy agape that means sloppy
love for one another, then thatunion has a slip in it, and so
(06:46):
we don't want to allow thosethings to come in that break up
that unity that we have oneanother.
You know, you know what causesa sloppy agape Amen, amen.
So in Luke 4, 18 and 19, ittells us Jesus, being the
(07:10):
anointed, was being anointedwith the Holy Spirit.
He is the anointed one, jesusChrist is the anointed one, and
Jesus Christ is the one whobrings that breaker anointing.
And many times in my life,since I carry a breaker
anointing, I am placed right inthe middle.
(07:32):
Where a bomb is going to go offor a bomb has went off, I'm
going to be there, you can beton it.
Is that where I want to be?
No, but in him I live and moveand have my being, and so
wherever he takes me, that'swhere I go.
Sometimes all I'm there to dois to pray.
(07:55):
Sometimes I'm there to minister, sometimes I'm there to just be
a friend that you can lean on.
But we all need a break oranointing on our lives.
We all need that Because whenGod brings the break, here's
what he's got to do.
He's got to go through all thejunk that you and I have carried
(08:19):
in life.
So it's going to be a ba-ba,ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
break.
That ain't easy.
It ain't easy to go through allthat Because you're cleaning up
messes that you've made in life.
But when you get thebreakthrough, then you step into
the beautiful Of what he hasfor you, amen.
(08:43):
So if any of you are in a break, you're in a great place
because God's getting ready toset you into the beautiful of
his wonder.
Okay, so I love this scriptureand this was upon Jesus Christ.
(09:08):
And it says the Spirit of theLord was upon me because he has
anointed me to proclaim the goodnews to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaimfreedom for the prisoner and to
recover sight for the blind, tosee the oppressed set free and
to proclaim the year of the Lord.
Amen, that was prophecy uponJesus, but Jesus' ministry and
(09:37):
purpose is an outline for eachone of us, and so in my life I
desire to walk in this.
I desire to see his anointing.
I love the anointing, I snuggleup with the anointing.
I can't imagine living withoutthe anointing of Christ on my
(09:58):
life.
Do you think that just happened?
I had to seek that, I had toask him.
I actually had conversationwith the Holy Spirit.
Would you come and guide me,lead me, direct me?
Would you show me?
Would you open my spiritualears to hear and my spiritual
(10:18):
heart to be able to hear thebrokenhearted, like we don't
hear the brokenhearted.
But if you ask God to show thatto you, you will know that's
being led by the Spirit of theliving God, amen.
And so I desire to seeprisoners set free.
How many of us sitting heretoday.
(10:41):
Whether we realize it or not, weare in a prison.
There are prison walls aroundus and I desire for each one of
us to be free from that prisoncell and to walk in our freedom,
to be emancipated, to be whoyou are in Christ.
But Satan don't want that.
(11:02):
He wants you right where youare Because you know what he
knows you've got potential.
He don't know your potential,but he knows you've got
potential because you belong toJesus Christ.
In Acts 17, 28, it says For inhim we live and move and have
our being.
(11:22):
I pray that all the time inmyself.
I want him to live in me.
I want him to move in me.
I want him to be my being.
Do you desire that?
(11:45):
You know we express love for theHoly Spirit.
You know there's a Father, theSon and the Holy Spirit.
The Father, we know, the Son weknow.
Sometimes I don't know if we'rereally invested with the Holy
Spirit.
You know he's the one thatbrings transformation.
He's the one that bringstransformation.
(12:08):
He's the one that changes us aswe grow closer to God.
He brings that change, changingus into Christ-like beings,
because we were all borndirectly into carnality.
We were born into sin, but Godgave us Christ that we could be
(12:32):
renewed and have eternal life.
Amen, the Holy Spirit.
In case you don't know about him, I'm going to tell you a little
bit about him this morning.
Okay, he is a powerful force.
He's a powerful force.
He empowers the believers tolove.
(12:54):
To God is all love, and soshouldn't we operate in love?
But how often do we get out oflove and operate in anger?
We operate in being rude, weoperate in manipulation.
(13:20):
Those are not gifts of theFather from heaven.
Those are gifts straight fromhell hell, and they're not a
gift.
They're something that's goingto entangle you with sin and
trip you up.
Understanding the Holy Spirit.
He pours out into our heartsand guides us to love God and to
(13:48):
love others.
He brings comfort and peace.
How many times in life do youhave times when you just feel
like you're going to fly apart,times when you just feel like
you're going to fly apart, butyou call upon the Comforter and
(14:12):
he'll come and comfort you andbring you right back in to the
place where you need to be withChrist.
Or, if you don't, you cancontinue to spend right out of
orbit Been there too.
He's there in difficult times.
I can remember when my dadpassed away, they were getting
(14:32):
ready to transport him from TwinCity to Cleveland because he
was having heart issues and Iwas just in the room talking to
him and I went out to make a youknow back in the day, the pay
phone.
I went out in the lobby to callone of my sisters and the
doctor came out to me and hesaid did you know what happened?
(14:52):
And I said no, what happened?
He said we lost him.
I'm here to tell you.
For months that's all I couldhear.
But I called upon the HolySpirit and he came and rescued
me.
But that was a difficult timebut thank goodness I didn't have
to go through that by myself.
(15:13):
The Holy Spirit led me through.
You know he bringstransformation.
He brings us to a place wherehe changes our hearts and our
minds.
When you have somebody that youare not in unity with, somebody
(15:34):
that just rubs you absolutelythe wrong way.
We all got them, you know.
You ask the Holy Spirit show mehow to love this person, show
me how to talk to this person,show me how to talk to this
person, show me how to deal withthis person and, believe me, if
(15:54):
you're seeking, he will answer.
He will answer the Holy Spirit.
He intercedes for us.
He's constantly praying for us24-7.
Does that bring you greatcomfort to know that, that he is
interceding for each one of us,no matter what we're going
(16:17):
through, whether we're in thevalley or we're in the mountain,
he is praying for us.
You know, through the HolySpirit we can be secure in God's
Word and in the truth of it.
God's Word is all truth.
(16:38):
He is not a man that he shouldlie.
Everything in this word istruth, you know.
But in order for us to growinto disciplined learners,
disciples, we have to press intoGod and the hard times you know
(17:04):
.
Recently I've been teaching onthe armor of God in Ephesians
6.10.
And last, not this week but theweek before, our message was on
girding up, girding up in Jesus, and so I studied that out.
(17:30):
And when you gird up with Jesus, it's a belt of truth and what
you're actually doing is you'retightening up with the Holy
Spirit, you're being one withthe Holy Spirit.
You're allowing him to guideyou and lead you and direct you
(17:54):
through life.
But the armor says it's thefirst piece of the army armor,
it's our girdle.
It holds the rest of the armoron us.
It's our girdle.
It holds the rest of the armoron us.
Last week our message was onthe shield of truth.
(18:16):
This is my shield of truth andit said that the shield of truth
will guard our hearts and ourmind, because that's where the
enemy attacks.
And how does he bring those?
What kind of attacks does hebring to us?
You know, he brings attacksthrough generally other people
(18:41):
and it attacks our mind.
Words hurt.
You know we used to be inschool.
Sticks and stones can break mybones, but words will never hurt
me.
That's not true.
Words hurt, you know.
I was thinking.
I don't know if this isappropriate or not, but I was
(19:02):
thinking in my life.
How many times have I referredback to that old song Shot
through the heart and you're toblame.
You give love a bad name.
Rock it Is it true.
How many times does word shootyou straight through the heart?
(19:28):
And if you're a christian, yougive love a bad name?
Amen.
I remember one time when hollywas teenager and she wanted to
date this boy and and me and herdad was like that is not
happening.
So of course he's out sittingon our porch, because you know
(19:50):
she thinks she's going to playus.
Any parent been there?
We said you are going to haveto go out and tell that boy that
he has to leave Because you arenot connecting with that.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I said well, you got twochoices Either you can do it or
we can do it.
Right, so she goes out and shecomes back in.
(20:15):
Oh my gosh, you guys.
She busts the door open, shefalls on the floor and she said
you're murderers of love.
She said you're murderers oflove.
Now, how many times in our lifeare we like murderers of love?
(20:35):
But that had to be done andthat was hard.
But we had to stay in unity asa couple, a parents or things
was going to go south, and sobeing in unity, it is hard, but
it's what God wants for us.
Amen, amen.
(20:58):
So what Satan will do, whatSatan Is, what he does, is he
has tactics, he has schemes andhe brings ambush.
You ever get caught in Satan'sambush and the first thing you
know you're caught in.
Here we go, pastor Michael.
(21:19):
I'm caught in a trap.
Thank you very much.
Oh my gosh, it's comedy hour.
It's the Holy Spirit.
Oh my gosh.
(21:42):
Anyhow, satan catches us in atrap how he does.
That is how they catch a monkey.
This is how they catch a monkey.
They take a bottle and they puta piece of silver or gold in
there.
The monkey puts his hand in,gets the gold in his hand and
doesn't know enough to release,to pull his hand out.
(22:03):
So while he's all involved herewith his hand stuck in the jar,
his hunter comes up and comesto move the head and has his way
with the monkey.
So don't get caught in the trap.
Don't get caught in that trap,being so involved that you don't
see what's coming.
(22:25):
God says we need to be alert ofthe enemy's devices.
So Satan will bring divisioninto our house, into our family,
into our church, into our lives.
And he is clever, clever.
(22:46):
Clever Because the word saysthat a house divided will not
stand.
So if you have disunity ordivision in your household, you
need to go before God and askhim how to handle that.
If there is disunity in thishousehold, we need to go
(23:11):
together before God and ask himhow to handle that, because a
house divided will not stand.
It will crumble, because Satanhas the foothold.
We're not building on thatsolid rock Because Satan has the
foothold.
We're not building on thatsolid rock.
We're building on confusion andlies, deception, traps and
(23:34):
schemes of the enemy.
But God tells us that we canovercome.
We can overcome because why heovercame hell, death and the
grave.
That makes us overcomers.
Amen, amen.
Ephesians 4.16 tells us that weare the body of Christ, that we
(24:02):
are jointed and knitted firmlytogether.
Every joint supplies when eachpart works properly, causing the
body to grow and to mature,building itself up on unselfish
(24:25):
love.
Unselfish love brings division.
I mean selfish love bringsdivision when it's all about me
and not about you, when youmanipulate circumstances to get
things to come out in your favor.
(24:46):
You know manipulation is a verybig weapon that the enemy uses
and it will bring division andit will cause disunity.
You know, the body of Christ isthe church and Christ is our
(25:09):
head.
He's the head of this, he's thehead of Pastor Michael.
He is the head, and I know fora fact before Pastor Michael
makes decisions, he goes beforethe Father to get his direction,
to seek his approval, to sayAmen, before the Father, to get
his direction, to seek hisapproval, to say Amen, amen.
So every joint supplied orligaments.
(25:32):
They are the connection thatholds the body together and
allows us to function properly.
You know we need to be buildingeach other up in love.
You know, not tearing eachother down, talking about one
(25:53):
another behind their back.
You know, I don't know all thestuff that goes on in this house
, but I know what god's tellingme to bring this morning.
So one of the things that I'verecently went through is what
I'm going to call Holy Ghostgossip, where you call somebody
(26:15):
and say, hey, we really need tobe praying for so-and-so because
of this and this and this andthis and this.
And the first thing you knowwell, I didn't know that was
going on.
Oh yeah, let me tell you allabout it.
Holy Ghost gossip that's comingin under a spirit of
manipulation.
You know, I'm going to come inand say what I want to say and
(26:38):
get it off my chest, and thenwe're going to nail it all to
the cross right here and it'sforgiven.
Don't work that way.
Gossip's gossip, it's gossip.
It's not of God.
(27:01):
Amen.
See where am I at.
So in 1 Corinthians 12, 26, ittalks about all the members of
Christ working together, and Ithink that if, as the body.
Some of us are the brains ofthe body of Christ, some of us
(27:22):
are the heart of the body ofChrist, some of us are internal
organs, some of us are the hands, some of us are the feet, but
we all make up the body ofChrist and if the body of
Christ's big toe hurts, thewhole body hurts.
That true.
So if we have somebody in thebody who is spiritually
(27:46):
faltering, who's physically sick, who is having what do we want
to say like mental, spirituallymental disorders, we as the body
of Christ, need to rally around, pray for uplift, care for them
(28:07):
, because that's what the bodyof Christ does.
We are jointly fit together inunity because of Christ.
Amen, amen.
We need to share in their joys.
Hey, when they're on themountaintop, let's get on the
mountaintop with them, let'spraise and thank God and give
(28:30):
Him the glory, and when they'rein the valley, let's raise them
up out.
Even though I will say thisabout valley experiences it's
where the most nurturing earthis and it's where the most
beautiful flowers are.
So I don't, actually I don'tlike valley experiences.
(28:52):
I have a few, I've had a lot.
But I also know that throughthat valley I have come to the
mountaintop and I have rejoicedand shouted from the rooftop of
what my Lord has done.
I remember one time Holly had alump on her breast and we went
to the doctor and they werereally concerned about it and we
(29:15):
went to go get an image of itand right before we went in we
checked.
But you know, I've been prayingFather God.
Nothing can come nigh herdwelling.
Nothing, no sickness, nodisease, nothing can come nigh
her dwelling.
Your Word tells me that I standon the promises of the living
God.
And before we go in we checkedit it's still there.
(29:37):
It's about like a little golfball.
And before we go in we checkedit it's still there.
It's about like a little golfball.
And she goes back to get theimage and she comes back out
within about 10 minutes.
I said they do that that fast,holly.
She said, mom, it was gone.
She said there was absolutelynothing there.
They had no idea why I was here.
Well, I'm telling you this, mamaI was on the rooftops and I was
shouting and praising to Godfor the wonderful things he did.
(29:59):
And we get in the car and Iwent over to the doctor's office
and I go in and I said do youknow that that lump was gone?
They were offended.
Well, it was there.
I can show you on the screen.
I'm like I ain't saying that,but see how easy the offense was
(30:20):
picked up.
I was there to praise the Lord.
They were there to be like.
Are you telling us we're lying?
But that's how the world is andthat's why we have to be aware
of the enemy's tactics.
I did not let it steal my joy,though.
I kept right on giving God theglory.
(30:41):
But ain't that sad?
That's sad.
And so we need to share in thejoys and we need to share in the
difficult times and we need tobe there for one another all the
time.
You know, tina Bober, if youneed to have a prayer, that you
(31:03):
need somebody to pray for, she'syour girl.
There is never nothing that Idon't say to her.
When I go to walk away, shedon't say let's pray about that.
That is awesome, amen.
That is awesome Amen.
And so I think that, as we livein unity with one another,
(31:31):
sharing the same gospel, sharingour love for Christ, sharing
our love for one another, thatwe are deeply rooted in his love
, amen.
I want to share with you aboutthe dripping anointing oil as
(31:51):
soon as I find it here.
Turn that off Over.
In Psalms 133.1, it says howwonderful and pleasant is it
(32:12):
when brothers live together inharmony, ain't that beautiful?
Live together in harmony, ain'tthat beautiful?
The joy and the blessing ofunity among the people, god's
people, when we operate in unity.
Now the Holy Spirit has reallyimpressed us on my heart, so I'm
(32:38):
just going to share it.
So many of us go around andstart little fires and then we
get a big stick and we stir thefire and we watch the flame and
we watch the emeralds.
That's not of God.
They can't ever believe how ithappened.
(33:00):
They're always surprised.
Can you believe that happened?
You know, I live it every day.
Sorry, I feel like I need to geta microphone to come up here
with me right now.
I feel like I need to get amicrophone to come up here with
(33:23):
you right now.
Yeah, so you know that's whatthe enemy wants us to do, wants
us to dive right in, be a part,wear it, carry it, take it with
us, pack it all up Right?
Listen, this week has been hardfor me.
It has been hard for me.
I put on my belt of truth.
(33:47):
Tighten it up, got my shield,but everywhere I go I step into
this little fire.
I think Wednesday night I don'teven think I slept Wednesday
night I nursed and rehearsed thewhole night what I was going to
say, how I was going to say it,how I was going to bring it.
I even tell Mel-Mel.
I said this isn't nice guys.
(34:08):
They want to see wrath.
I'll show them the wrath ofHolly.
I'm telling you, they had myflesh stirred up.
They hurt my heart, they woundme.
See, I didn't have my shield upand I, I, I fell into an ambush
(34:28):
and uh, and the deal was, I waswith this person almost every
day last week and I was like Ican say something, I can upset
the apple cart and I can cause aproblem that is probably going
to go on for six months.
Or I can sit back and sayFather, god, these children are
(34:52):
not my problem, they're yours,you deal with them, you deal
with them, you deal with them.
So I've kept my mouth shut andI'm holding my head up high like
a giraffe and I'm eating offthe finest leaves.
You know I am not gettinginvolved, but it's that it's
pulling me and I don't want todo that, but I believe that I'm
(35:14):
standing strong.
You know, in Galatians 5, 22, itsays have self-control.
It's a fruit of the spirit.
Well, let me tell you somethingwhen you get saved, jesus
didn't come around say here'syour self-control, here's your
self-control.
He says you have to develop it,develop that self-control.
(35:36):
So I'm in a whole new thing ofdeveloping self-control.
I think I had it covered againAgain.
So if you personally, no raiseup hands are going around
starting little fires in yourlife and other people's lives,
(35:56):
stop.
We're supposed to be the onesthat puts the fire out,
overcoming it with the word ofGod, quenching it with the Holy
Spirit.
You know, you catch yourself,you do something and you feel
like you better not say that.
You better not say that Becausethe Holy Spirit, he's your
(36:18):
conscience and he's telling youto shut up.
Very nicely, don't do that.
And then you do it.
And then you're like, oh, whatdid I do?
Now I'm in trouble, right,because you didn't listen.
Okay, back to Psalms 133.
Okay, oh, gosh, see, unitycauses us to encourage one
(36:48):
another, not to destroy oneanother.
We need to be encouragers inthe word of God.
Okay, we need to be encouragersin the word of God.
Okay.
Unity is a reflection of God'slove, you know.
It's who he is.
It's who we should be.
(37:13):
Unity strengthens people, nottears them down, but it
strengthens us to be better.
Unity brings us into peace andto harmony and unity Unity.
Unity brings a positive outlookon things.
(37:37):
That's what Christ is.
He wants us to have a wonderfuloutlook on life.
You know, we don't live indread of what's around every
corner.
It tells us in Psalms do not dothat, because then we're not
trusting him.
We're in our flesh.
Unity is more than just beingin agreement.
(37:59):
It's being mature.
It's showing great respect forone another.
It's having compassion.
It's being patient and walkingin humility.
It shows love and support forone another.
(38:23):
Unity at all costs, at all coststries to stay away from
confrontation.
I don't like confrontation.
If I have to have confrontation, I'm telling you I'm flying
apart.
I don't.
Some people enjoy it.
(38:44):
It doesn't work for me.
I like peace and ease.
Very often do I ever get that?
But that's what I like.
So let's look at Psalms 32.
The anointing oil dripping theprecious oil used, but that's
what I like.
So let's look at Psalms 32.
The anointing oil dripping, theprecious oil used to anoint the
(39:06):
high priest of Aaron, to bringunity and blessings.
The oil was poured out on hishead and ran down his beard and
on his collar.
This blessing of harmony andunity flowed from above.
Is that what we want in ourlives?
Is that anointing oil flowingdown over our lives as a symbol
(39:31):
of Jesus Christ in our life,that we are operating in that
unity, in that anointing oil ofChrist?
It is a gift from God.
It isn't something I can create, it isn't something you can
create, but it's the anointingof the living God flowing over
(39:51):
our lives and Psalms 33.3, unityand harmony compared, it is
precious.
It is precious when we operatein the anointing of Christ and
in unity with the body.
You think that's beautiful.
It's like a refreshing dew.
(40:15):
So I really had to think onthis.
A refreshing dew like in themorning when you walk out.
I love and I know Mel Mel lovesthis too Go outside in the
morning and it's a new day, it'sa fresh start, a beautiful
beginning, and you can see thedew on the petals and how the
(40:38):
grass is just glistening withthat new dew.
Can you relate?
It's beautiful, it's abeautiful thing With the new dew
.
It's like Mount Hermon MountHermon, it is known for its
(40:58):
abundant dew which nourishes theland, and so when we operate
under that anointing and thatrefreshing dew, he's restoring
us.
Amen, amen.
The new dew, the refreshing dew,is like the Holy Spirit.
(41:19):
It brings a sense of refreshingand nourishment.
The anointing is associatedwith God's power and his
authority that he has placed inus, like the new do can bring
life's blessings, refreshmentsto those who dwell together in
(41:44):
unity.
You know, grow together inunity in your marriage, in your
friendships, in your fellowship,in our church friendships and
your fellowship in our church.
Let that anointing, that love,flow from us and to others.
(42:05):
But you know, I think we get sobusy in our life that we don't
even grasp it.
You know, like we got to gethome today and we got to go have
lunch and then I got to gethome and do the laundry and you
know my mind's constantly going.
But sometimes we got to bringthat to a halt and just come
(42:26):
into unity with Christ so thatwe can connect with the body.
Amen, psalms tells us that Godbestowed his blessings upon us
so that we could haveeverlasting life in Jesus Christ
(42:47):
and to live in harmony andunity with the brothers and
sisters of the Lord, amen, amen.
I'm going to pray for us.
If you'd like prayer, I'd lovefor you to come up.
And, father God, I just thankyou and praise you and give you
the glory.
I thank you for the unity amongthe brethren here at Organic
(43:12):
Church.
I thank you, lord, that whenone of us hurt, we all hurt.
Father, when one of us are onthe mountain, we're all on the
mountain.
I thank you, father, that weare aware of the schemes, the
tactics and the ambushes of theenemy, for he comes but to do
(43:35):
one thing to kill, to steal anddestroy.
But, father God, you come togive us abundant life, more than
what we can contain.
So, father, I thank you and Ipraise you that it's in you we
live and move and have our being.
And, father, I thank you foryour blood that covers each and
(43:56):
every one of us, in the mightypowerful name of Jesus Christ,
and everyone says Amen,hallelujah, we give you the
glory.
Word of God with you, to be able to see
transformation in each one ofyour lives, to see you growing
and moving.
You know what the scripture isit's no longer I that liveth,
but Christ that lives in me.
No longer I that liveth, butChrist lives in me.
(00:20):
Amen.
Everything that we say and doshould be Christ-centered, amen,
amen.
Everything that we say and doshould be Christ centered, amen,
amen.
God.
Bless these children.
Bless these children, lord, asthey're going to their place of
worship.
Bless the teachers, lord.
Bless those that are assistingLord.
Let them have an amazing timein the presence of Jesus.
(00:41):
Amen, amen, amen.
Well, you know, last week wetalked about the protection of
Jesus Christ, the protection ofthe canopy that God has us under
.
Well, also in that vision, aswhen Melody gave the tongue and
(01:01):
the Lord showed me theinterpretation, he showed me
that that canopy was drippingwith the anointing oil, and so I
studied that out.
And when the oil is dripping,and when the oil is dripping, it
(01:34):
is a blessing upon our lives.
It is an opportunity for eachone of us to have growth in
Jesus Christ.
It is a call to servanthood.
How many here want to serve theLord, jesus Christ, with all of
your heart, all of your mightand all of your being.
Amen.
It is a promise of his healingupon our lives.
(01:58):
You know we need healing in ourlives and more than just being
healed physically, we needhealed mentally, spiritually and
physically.
The oil dripping is a messageof hope and encouragement that
(02:22):
God is faithful.
The dripping with the oil isthe presence of God and he is
the anointing oil.
He is that healing Amen.
When God shows us his anointingthe oil of God.
(02:42):
Anointing the oil of God, it'san abundance.
Do you desire to live in theabundance?
You know it tells us in Psalms23 that we do not live in lack
of one good thing, that we are apeople who live in the
abundance of Jesus Christ.
He brings healing andrestoration with that anointing.
(03:04):
He brings healing andrestoration with that anointing
and he brings supernatural gifts.
The anointing oil teaches, itpreaches.
(03:24):
It teaches, it preaches, itheals and it brings prophecy.
But the anointing oil that Godwas showing in me is a spirit of
unity.
God desires unity among thebody of Christ.
He desires us to stand as one,not like scattered sheep.
He wants us to come into unitywith him and one another.
(03:47):
First of all, we have to be inunity with God, desiring his
perfect will in our lives.
That's a hard one, because, youknow, we all want our own way.
It's just how we are.
We're people that want our ownway.
So it takes a lot ofsurrendering to operate under
(04:08):
the will of God.
Amen.
So I was.
I think I have this alltogether, and then this morning
he changes everything.
But here we go right.
Bear with me.
(04:28):
I want to do the Spirit of Godjustice, I want to be in His
will through this message and Ijust want to be a blessing to
the body of Christ today.
So Chris comes to me a few weeksago and she said, holly, when
(04:50):
we were in the prayer room, shesaid I saw the trumpet being
blown.
And she said what do you thinkthat means?
Well, you all know I'm acontemplator, so I have to go
look steady, sniff it all out.
Well, when there is a trumpetbeing blown, god is calling for
(05:14):
unity.
And so Pastor Michael, rogerand I, we are raising up
disciples.
A disciple is a disciplinedlearner, and so the girls that
sit under women of God and tabletalk.
I believe that they are growinginto mighty disciples, and so
is the rest of the church, butto be a disciplined learner.
(05:36):
That means that it's no longerI that live with Christ, but
it's you that lives within me,you that lives within me, amen.
And so back to the unity.
Sisters and brothers in Christ,we have a family bond, is that
right?
Like you guys are my family, Ispend more time with all you
(05:57):
than I do my family.
Is that true, right?
So you're my family and we havea spiritual connection with
each other.
Do you believe that?
It is based on our faith inJesus Christ?
It's a unity that goes deep andit is a unity that connects us.
(06:21):
We're connected together inunity and so when we're
connected together in unity,it's hard to break.
Okay.
But if one of us has got asloppy agape that means sloppy
love for one another, then thatunion has a slip in it, and so
(06:46):
we don't want to allow thosethings to come in that break up
that unity that we have oneanother.
You know, you know what causesa sloppy agape Amen, amen.
So in Luke 4, 18 and 19, ittells us Jesus, being the
(07:10):
anointed, was being anointedwith the Holy Spirit.
He is the anointed one, jesusChrist is the anointed one, and
Jesus Christ is the one whobrings that breaker anointing.
And many times in my life,since I carry a breaker
anointing, I am placed right inthe middle.
(07:32):
Where a bomb is going to go offor a bomb has went off, I'm
going to be there, you can beton it.
Is that where I want to be?
No, but in him I live and moveand have my being, and so
wherever he takes me, that'swhere I go.
Sometimes all I'm there to dois to pray.
(07:55):
Sometimes I'm there to minister, sometimes I'm there to just be
a friend that you can lean on.
But we all need a break oranointing on our lives.
We all need that Because whenGod brings the break, here's
what he's got to do.
He's got to go through all thejunk that you and I have carried
(08:19):
in life.
So it's going to be a ba-ba,ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
break.
That ain't easy.
It ain't easy to go through allthat Because you're cleaning up
messes that you've made in life.
But when you get thebreakthrough, then you step into
the beautiful Of what he hasfor you, amen.
(08:43):
So if any of you are in a break, you're in a great place
because God's getting ready toset you into the beautiful of
his wonder.
Okay, so I love this scriptureand this was upon Jesus Christ.
(09:08):
And it says the Spirit of theLord was upon me because he has
anointed me to proclaim the goodnews to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaimfreedom for the prisoner and to
recover sight for the blind, tosee the oppressed set free and
to proclaim the year of the Lord.
Amen, that was prophecy uponJesus, but Jesus' ministry and
(09:37):
purpose is an outline for eachone of us, and so in my life I
desire to walk in this.
I desire to see his anointing.
I love the anointing, I snuggleup with the anointing.
I can't imagine living withoutthe anointing of Christ on my
(09:58):
life.
Do you think that just happened?
I had to seek that, I had toask him.
I actually had conversationwith the Holy Spirit.
Would you come and guide me,lead me, direct me?
Would you show me?
Would you open my spiritualears to hear and my spiritual
(10:18):
heart to be able to hear thebrokenhearted, like we don't
hear the brokenhearted.
But if you ask God to show thatto you, you will know that's
being led by the Spirit of theliving God, amen.
And so I desire to seeprisoners set free.
How many of us sitting heretoday.
(10:41):
Whether we realize it or not, weare in a prison.
There are prison walls aroundus and I desire for each one of
us to be free from that prisoncell and to walk in our freedom,
to be emancipated, to be whoyou are in Christ.
But Satan don't want that.
(11:02):
He wants you right where youare Because you know what he
knows you've got potential.
He don't know your potential,but he knows you've got
potential because you belong toJesus Christ.
In Acts 17, 28, it says For inhim we live and move and have
our being.
(11:22):
I pray that all the time inmyself.
I want him to live in me.
I want him to move in me.
I want him to be my being.
Do you desire that?
(11:45):
You know we express love for theHoly Spirit.
You know there's a Father, theSon and the Holy Spirit.
The Father, we know, the Son weknow.
Sometimes I don't know if we'rereally invested with the Holy
Spirit.
You know he's the one thatbrings transformation.
He's the one that bringstransformation.
(12:08):
He's the one that changes us aswe grow closer to God.
He brings that change, changingus into Christ-like beings,
because we were all borndirectly into carnality.
We were born into sin, but Godgave us Christ that we could be
(12:32):
renewed and have eternal life.
Amen, the Holy Spirit.
In case you don't know about him, I'm going to tell you a little
bit about him this morning.
Okay, he is a powerful force.
He's a powerful force.
He empowers the believers tolove.
(12:54):
To God is all love, and soshouldn't we operate in love?
But how often do we get out oflove and operate in anger?
We operate in being rude, weoperate in manipulation.
(13:20):
Those are not gifts of theFather from heaven.
Those are gifts straight fromhell hell, and they're not a
gift.
They're something that's goingto entangle you with sin and
trip you up.
Understanding the Holy Spirit.
He pours out into our heartsand guides us to love God and to
(13:48):
love others.
He brings comfort and peace.
How many times in life do youhave times when you just feel
like you're going to fly apart,times when you just feel like
you're going to fly apart, butyou call upon the Comforter and
(14:12):
he'll come and comfort you andbring you right back in to the
place where you need to be withChrist.
Or, if you don't, you cancontinue to spend right out of
orbit Been there too.
He's there in difficult times.
I can remember when my dadpassed away, they were getting
(14:32):
ready to transport him from TwinCity to Cleveland because he
was having heart issues and Iwas just in the room talking to
him and I went out to make a youknow back in the day, the pay
phone.
I went out in the lobby to callone of my sisters and the
doctor came out to me and hesaid did you know what happened?
(14:52):
And I said no, what happened?
He said we lost him.
I'm here to tell you.
For months that's all I couldhear.
But I called upon the HolySpirit and he came and rescued
me.
But that was a difficult timebut thank goodness I didn't have
to go through that by myself.
(15:13):
The Holy Spirit led me through.
You know he bringstransformation.
He brings us to a place wherehe changes our hearts and our
minds.
When you have somebody that youare not in unity with, somebody
(15:34):
that just rubs you absolutelythe wrong way.
We all got them, you know.
You ask the Holy Spirit show mehow to love this person, show
me how to talk to this person,show me how to talk to this
person, show me how to deal withthis person and, believe me, if
(15:54):
you're seeking, he will answer.
He will answer the Holy Spirit.
He intercedes for us.
He's constantly praying for us24-7.
Does that bring you greatcomfort to know that, that he is
interceding for each one of us,no matter what we're going
(16:17):
through, whether we're in thevalley or we're in the mountain,
he is praying for us.
You know, through the HolySpirit we can be secure in God's
Word and in the truth of it.
God's Word is all truth.
(16:38):
He is not a man that he shouldlie.
Everything in this word istruth, you know.
But in order for us to growinto disciplined learners,
disciples, we have to press intoGod and the hard times you know
(17:04):
.
Recently I've been teaching onthe armor of God in Ephesians
6.10.
And last, not this week but theweek before, our message was on
girding up, girding up in Jesus, and so I studied that out.
(17:30):
And when you gird up with Jesus, it's a belt of truth and what
you're actually doing is you'retightening up with the Holy
Spirit, you're being one withthe Holy Spirit.
You're allowing him to guideyou and lead you and direct you
(17:54):
through life.
But the armor says it's thefirst piece of the army armor,
it's our girdle.
It holds the rest of the armoron us.
It's our girdle.
It holds the rest of the armoron us.
Last week our message was onthe shield of truth.
(18:16):
This is my shield of truth andit said that the shield of truth
will guard our hearts and ourmind, because that's where the
enemy attacks.
And how does he bring those?
What kind of attacks does hebring to us?
You know, he brings attacksthrough generally other people
(18:41):
and it attacks our mind.
Words hurt.
You know we used to be inschool.
Sticks and stones can break mybones, but words will never hurt
me.
That's not true.
Words hurt, you know.
I was thinking.
I don't know if this isappropriate or not, but I was
(19:02):
thinking in my life.
How many times have I referredback to that old song Shot
through the heart and you're toblame.
You give love a bad name.
Rock it Is it true.
How many times does word shootyou straight through the heart?
(19:28):
And if you're a christian, yougive love a bad name?
Amen.
I remember one time when hollywas teenager and she wanted to
date this boy and and me and herdad was like that is not
happening.
So of course he's out sittingon our porch, because you know
(19:50):
she thinks she's going to playus.
Any parent been there?
We said you are going to haveto go out and tell that boy that
he has to leave Because you arenot connecting with that.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I said well, you got twochoices Either you can do it or
we can do it.
Right, so she goes out and shecomes back in.
(20:15):
Oh my gosh, you guys.
She busts the door open, shefalls on the floor and she said
you're murderers of love.
She said you're murderers oflove.
Now, how many times in our lifeare we like murderers of love?
(20:35):
But that had to be done andthat was hard.
But we had to stay in unity asa couple, a parents or things
was going to go south, and sobeing in unity, it is hard, but
it's what God wants for us.
Amen, amen.
(20:58):
So what Satan will do, whatSatan Is, what he does, is he
has tactics, he has schemes andhe brings ambush.
You ever get caught in Satan'sambush and the first thing you
know you're caught in.
Here we go, pastor Michael.
(21:19):
I'm caught in a trap.
Thank you very much.
Oh my gosh, it's comedy hour.
It's the Holy Spirit.
Oh my gosh.
(21:42):
Anyhow, satan catches us in atrap how he does.
That is how they catch a monkey.
This is how they catch a monkey.
They take a bottle and they puta piece of silver or gold in
there.
The monkey puts his hand in,gets the gold in his hand and
doesn't know enough to release,to pull his hand out.
(22:03):
So while he's all involved herewith his hand stuck in the jar,
his hunter comes up and comesto move the head and has his way
with the monkey.
So don't get caught in the trap.
Don't get caught in that trap,being so involved that you don't
see what's coming.
(22:25):
God says we need to be alert ofthe enemy's devices.
So Satan will bring divisioninto our house, into our family,
into our church, into our lives.
And he is clever, clever.
(22:46):
Clever Because the word saysthat a house divided will not
stand.
So if you have disunity ordivision in your household, you
need to go before God and askhim how to handle that.
If there is disunity in thishousehold, we need to go
(23:11):
together before God and ask himhow to handle that, because a
house divided will not stand.
It will crumble, because Satanhas the foothold.
We're not building on thatsolid rock Because Satan has the
foothold.
We're not building on thatsolid rock.
We're building on confusion andlies, deception, traps and
(23:34):
schemes of the enemy.
But God tells us that we canovercome.
We can overcome because why heovercame hell, death and the
grave.
That makes us overcomers.
Amen, amen.
Ephesians 4.16 tells us that weare the body of Christ, that we
(24:02):
are jointed and knitted firmlytogether.
Every joint supplies when eachpart works properly, causing the
body to grow and to mature,building itself up on unselfish
(24:25):
love.
Unselfish love brings division.
I mean selfish love bringsdivision when it's all about me
and not about you, when youmanipulate circumstances to get
things to come out in your favor.
(24:46):
You know manipulation is a verybig weapon that the enemy uses
and it will bring division andit will cause disunity.
You know, the body of Christ isthe church and Christ is our
(25:09):
head.
He's the head of this, he's thehead of Pastor Michael.
He is the head, and I know fora fact before Pastor Michael
makes decisions, he goes beforethe Father to get his direction,
to seek his approval, to sayAmen, before the Father, to get
his direction, to seek hisapproval, to say Amen, amen.
So every joint supplied orligaments.
(25:32):
They are the connection thatholds the body together and
allows us to function properly.
You know we need to be buildingeach other up in love.
You know, not tearing eachother down, talking about one
(25:53):
another behind their back.
You know, I don't know all thestuff that goes on in this house
, but I know what god's tellingme to bring this morning.
So one of the things that I'verecently went through is what
I'm going to call Holy Ghostgossip, where you call somebody
(26:15):
and say, hey, we really need tobe praying for so-and-so because
of this and this and this andthis and this.
And the first thing you knowwell, I didn't know that was
going on.
Oh yeah, let me tell you allabout it.
Holy Ghost gossip that's comingin under a spirit of
manipulation.
You know, I'm going to come inand say what I want to say and
(26:38):
get it off my chest, and thenwe're going to nail it all to
the cross right here and it'sforgiven.
Don't work that way.
Gossip's gossip, it's gossip.
It's not of God.
(27:01):
Amen.
See where am I at.
So in 1 Corinthians 12, 26, ittalks about all the members of
Christ working together, and Ithink that if, as the body.
Some of us are the brains ofthe body of Christ, some of us
(27:22):
are the heart of the body ofChrist, some of us are internal
organs, some of us are the hands, some of us are the feet, but
we all make up the body ofChrist and if the body of
Christ's big toe hurts, thewhole body hurts.
That true.
So if we have somebody in thebody who is spiritually
(27:46):
faltering, who's physically sick, who is having what do we want
to say like mental, spirituallymental disorders, we as the body
of Christ, need to rally around, pray for uplift, care for them
(28:07):
, because that's what the bodyof Christ does.
We are jointly fit together inunity because of Christ.
Amen, amen.
We need to share in their joys.
Hey, when they're on themountaintop, let's get on the
mountaintop with them, let'spraise and thank God and give
(28:30):
Him the glory, and when they'rein the valley, let's raise them
up out.
Even though I will say thisabout valley experiences it's
where the most nurturing earthis and it's where the most
beautiful flowers are.
So I don't, actually I don'tlike valley experiences.
(28:52):
I have a few, I've had a lot.
But I also know that throughthat valley I have come to the
mountaintop and I have rejoicedand shouted from the rooftop of
what my Lord has done.
I remember one time Holly had alump on her breast and we went
to the doctor and they werereally concerned about it and we
(29:15):
went to go get an image of itand right before we went in we
checked.
But you know, I've been prayingFather God.
Nothing can come nigh herdwelling.
Nothing, no sickness, nodisease, nothing can come nigh
her dwelling.
Your Word tells me that I standon the promises of the living
God.
And before we go in we checkedit it's still there.
(29:37):
It's about like a little golfball.
And before we go in we checkedit it's still there.
It's about like a little golfball.
And she goes back to get theimage and she comes back out
within about 10 minutes.
I said they do that that fast,holly.
She said, mom, it was gone.
She said there was absolutelynothing there.
They had no idea why I was here.
Well, I'm telling you this, mamaI was on the rooftops and I was
shouting and praising to Godfor the wonderful things he did.
(29:59):
And we get in the car and Iwent over to the doctor's office
and I go in and I said do youknow that that lump was gone?
They were offended.
Well, it was there.
I can show you on the screen.
I'm like I ain't saying that,but see how easy the offense was
(30:20):
picked up.
I was there to praise the Lord.
They were there to be like.
Are you telling us we're lying?
But that's how the world is andthat's why we have to be aware
of the enemy's tactics.
I did not let it steal my joy,though.
I kept right on giving God theglory.
(30:41):
But ain't that sad?
That's sad.
And so we need to share in thejoys and we need to share in the
difficult times and we need tobe there for one another all the
time.
You know, tina Bober, if youneed to have a prayer, that you
(31:03):
need somebody to pray for, she'syour girl.
There is never nothing that Idon't say to her.
When I go to walk away, shedon't say let's pray about that.
That is awesome, amen.
That is awesome Amen.
And so I think that, as we livein unity with one another,
(31:31):
sharing the same gospel, sharingour love for Christ, sharing
our love for one another, thatwe are deeply rooted in his love
, amen.
I want to share with you aboutthe dripping anointing oil as
(31:51):
soon as I find it here.
Turn that off Over.
In Psalms 133.1, it says howwonderful and pleasant is it
(32:12):
when brothers live together inharmony, ain't that beautiful?
Live together in harmony, ain'tthat beautiful?
The joy and the blessing ofunity among the people, god's
people, when we operate in unity.
Now the Holy Spirit has reallyimpressed us on my heart, so I'm
(32:38):
just going to share it.
So many of us go around andstart little fires and then we
get a big stick and we stir thefire and we watch the flame and
we watch the emeralds.
That's not of God.
They can't ever believe how ithappened.
(33:00):
They're always surprised.
Can you believe that happened?
You know, I live it every day.
Sorry, I feel like I need to geta microphone to come up here
with me right now.
I feel like I need to get amicrophone to come up here with
(33:23):
you right now.
Yeah, so you know that's whatthe enemy wants us to do, wants
us to dive right in, be a part,wear it, carry it, take it with
us, pack it all up Right?
Listen, this week has been hardfor me.
It has been hard for me.
I put on my belt of truth.
(33:47):
Tighten it up, got my shield,but everywhere I go I step into
this little fire.
I think Wednesday night I don'teven think I slept Wednesday
night I nursed and rehearsed thewhole night what I was going to
say, how I was going to say it,how I was going to bring it.
I even tell Mel-Mel.
I said this isn't nice guys.
(34:08):
They want to see wrath.
I'll show them the wrath ofHolly.
I'm telling you, they had myflesh stirred up.
They hurt my heart, they woundme.
See, I didn't have my shield upand I, I, I fell into an ambush
(34:28):
and uh, and the deal was, I waswith this person almost every
day last week and I was like Ican say something, I can upset
the apple cart and I can cause aproblem that is probably going
to go on for six months.
Or I can sit back and sayFather, god, these children are
(34:52):
not my problem, they're yours,you deal with them, you deal
with them, you deal with them.
So I've kept my mouth shut andI'm holding my head up high like
a giraffe and I'm eating offthe finest leaves.
You know I am not gettinginvolved, but it's that it's
pulling me and I don't want todo that, but I believe that I'm
(35:14):
standing strong.
You know, in Galatians 5, 22, itsays have self-control.
It's a fruit of the spirit.
Well, let me tell you somethingwhen you get saved, jesus
didn't come around say here'syour self-control, here's your
self-control.
He says you have to develop it,develop that self-control.
(35:36):
So I'm in a whole new thing ofdeveloping self-control.
I think I had it covered againAgain.
So if you personally, no raiseup hands are going around
starting little fires in yourlife and other people's lives,
(35:56):
stop.
We're supposed to be the onesthat puts the fire out,
overcoming it with the word ofGod, quenching it with the Holy
Spirit.
You know, you catch yourself,you do something and you feel
like you better not say that.
You better not say that Becausethe Holy Spirit, he's your
(36:18):
conscience and he's telling youto shut up.
Very nicely, don't do that.
And then you do it.
And then you're like, oh, whatdid I do?
Now I'm in trouble, right,because you didn't listen.
Okay, back to Psalms 133.
Okay, oh, gosh, see, unitycauses us to encourage one
(36:48):
another, not to destroy oneanother.
We need to be encouragers inthe word of God.
Okay, we need to be encouragersin the word of God.
Okay.
Unity is a reflection of God'slove, you know.
It's who he is.
It's who we should be.
(37:13):
Unity strengthens people, nottears them down, but it
strengthens us to be better.
Unity brings us into peace andto harmony and unity Unity.
Unity brings a positive outlookon things.
(37:37):
That's what Christ is.
He wants us to have a wonderfuloutlook on life.
You know, we don't live indread of what's around every
corner.
It tells us in Psalms do not dothat, because then we're not
trusting him.
We're in our flesh.
Unity is more than just beingin agreement.
(37:59):
It's being mature.
It's showing great respect forone another.
It's having compassion.
It's being patient and walkingin humility.
It shows love and support forone another.
(38:23):
Unity at all costs, at all coststries to stay away from
confrontation.
I don't like confrontation.
If I have to have confrontation, I'm telling you I'm flying
apart.
I don't.
Some people enjoy it.
(38:44):
It doesn't work for me.
I like peace and ease.
Very often do I ever get that?
But that's what I like.
So let's look at Psalms 32.
The anointing oil dripping theprecious oil used, but that's
what I like.
So let's look at Psalms 32.
The anointing oil dripping, theprecious oil used to anoint the
(39:06):
high priest of Aaron, to bringunity and blessings.
The oil was poured out on hishead and ran down his beard and
on his collar.
This blessing of harmony andunity flowed from above.
Is that what we want in ourlives?
Is that anointing oil flowingdown over our lives as a symbol
(39:31):
of Jesus Christ in our life,that we are operating in that
unity, in that anointing oil ofChrist?
It is a gift from God.
It isn't something I can create, it isn't something you can
create, but it's the anointingof the living God flowing over
(39:51):
our lives and Psalms 33.3, unityand harmony compared, it is
precious.
It is precious when we operatein the anointing of Christ and
in unity with the body.
You think that's beautiful.
It's like a refreshing dew.
(40:15):
So I really had to think onthis.
A refreshing dew like in themorning when you walk out.
I love and I know Mel Mel lovesthis too Go outside in the
morning and it's a new day, it'sa fresh start, a beautiful
beginning, and you can see thedew on the petals and how the
(40:38):
grass is just glistening withthat new dew.
Can you relate?
It's beautiful, it's abeautiful thing With the new dew
.
It's like Mount Hermon MountHermon, it is known for its
(40:58):
abundant dew which nourishes theland, and so when we operate
under that anointing and thatrefreshing dew, he's restoring
us.
Amen, amen.
The new dew, the refreshing dew,is like the Holy Spirit.
(41:19):
It brings a sense of refreshingand nourishment.
The anointing is associatedwith God's power and his
authority that he has placed inus, like the new do can bring
life's blessings, refreshmentsto those who dwell together in
(41:44):
unity.
You know, grow together inunity in your marriage, in your
friendships, in your fellowship,in our church friendships and
your fellowship in our church.
Let that anointing, that love,flow from us and to others.
(42:05):
But you know, I think we get sobusy in our life that we don't
even grasp it.
You know, like we got to gethome today and we got to go have
lunch and then I got to gethome and do the laundry and you
know my mind's constantly going.
But sometimes we got to bringthat to a halt and just come
(42:26):
into unity with Christ so thatwe can connect with the body.
Amen, psalms tells us that Godbestowed his blessings upon us
so that we could haveeverlasting life in Jesus Christ
(42:47):
and to live in harmony andunity with the brothers and
sisters of the Lord, amen, amen.
I'm going to pray for us.
If you'd like prayer, I'd lovefor you to come up.
And, father God, I just thankyou and praise you and give you
the glory.
I thank you for the unity amongthe brethren here at Organic
(43:12):
Church.
I thank you, lord, that whenone of us hurt, we all hurt.
Father, when one of us are onthe mountain, we're all on the
mountain.
I thank you, father, that weare aware of the schemes, the
tactics and the ambushes of theenemy, for he comes but to do
(43:35):
one thing to kill, to steal anddestroy.
But, father God, you come togive us abundant life, more than
what we can contain.
So, father, I thank you and Ipraise you that it's in you we
live and move and have our being.
And, father, I thank you foryour blood that covers each and
(43:56):
every one of us, in the mightypowerful name of Jesus Christ,
and everyone says Amen,hallelujah, we give you the
glory.
