We Are Anointed To Know Christ Is In Us


But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do]. 1 John 2:27
Jesus was absolutely confident in Who He was 2000 years ago when He walked the earth as a man. He knew that He was the Christ. He was absolutely confident that He was sent to be sacrificed and that it was the will of our Father that He would be crucified. Jesus was absolutely confident that when He told Lazarus to rise from the dead that he would. He was confident that the water would become wine, that the demons would flee, that the sick would be healed, and that a couple of fish and some bread would feed thousands of hungry people. Jesus was absolutely confident because He was one with God. Jesus was confident because the Anointing of God was upon Him, and He was confident because He was permanently abiding and One with God’s Anointing! 
And A-men, we now have the exact same Anointing upon us. We now abide in the exact same anointing that Jesus abides in, and we now are one with the exact same Anointing that Jesus is one with! We now have the mind of Christ. God is now strong in us through Christ Who strengthens us. We are now more than conquerors through the Anointing that Jesus has given to us. 
Read how our the Anointing had Paul speak, how it had Peter speak, how it had John speak, and really read how Jesus spoke, and then you will see how we too have been empowered to speak! We have the same power within us that all of these men had and Jesus is every bit as alive within us as He was in Himself! Now stop and really take hold of that Truth: Jesus is as alive in us, just as He was back some 2000 years ago in His Own flesh. He is the same, He never changes! The way Jesus acted back then, is the way He is acting today, in complete confidence and boldness of Who God is and Who we are in Him! There is no lie in our Anointing from God, our Anointing from Him never leaves us or forsakes us, and our Anointing from God teaches us all things! As Jesus is, so are we in this world! And we can know God and His Anointing just as our Lord and Savior knows God and His Anointing!
