“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 134:1-3, Daniel 9:1-11:1; 1 John 2:18-3:6; Proverbs 28:27-28)
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[a] 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
1 John 2:18-27
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him.
My Listening The topic I received today from Jesus is: How can we receive the anointing that we main in the Lord?
What I received yesterday from 1 John 2:15-17 is to tell us how can we get away from all kinds of worries and anxiety. Because all kinds of calamities will soon pass away, but we as humans are not able to save ourselves.
Today's 1 John 2:18-27 is the 2nd part of the message. Today's passage from 1 John tells us very clearly that we need the anointing of the Holy Spirit in order to know what is true, what is false. We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit that we won't let Satan to destroy the intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, that we won't think that we are Christians and in fact we are only religious people doing religious practices but with no personal relationship with Jesus, Jesus is not the Lord of our lives.
So, how can we receive the anointing that we main in the Lord?
The answer is in 1 John 2:20 "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth."
The Holy One is the Holy Spirit! It is the Holy Spirit changes us that we have gifts of the Holy Spirit to discern what is right and wrong and to know why it is so important for us to have an intimate personal relationship with Jesus, that we can live in Him forever.
How can we receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit? Well, this is the question of chicken and egg. The more time you are being with Jesus each day the more anointing from the Holy Spirit each day and that you enjoy more time to be with Jesus and to dwell in the sweetness and blessings of being with Jesus. Got it?
Dear Holy Spirit, Pour down your fresh anointing upon us that we are willing to have more time being with Jesus and to enjoy the sweetness and presence of Him . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[a] 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
Reflect on these questions: 1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now? 2. What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do? Family Corner: Find an opportunity to share with your family the importance of today's message.
