http://rlcf.church River of Life Christian Fellowship 1306 N Lincoln Avenue Loveland, Colorado - 80537, USA
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the Lord rejoices over His people with shouts of joy, drawing heavily on Zephaniah 3:17. He stresses that when God is silent, He is actively planning and writing a good plan for us, which is already finished. Furthermore, he teaches that the anointing received from the Holy Spirit abides within believers, meaning they do not need constant external teaching, but rather must abide in Christ to bear fruit in all areas of life.

The Promise of the AnointingJohn writes to believers that the anointing abides within them so they have no ultimate need for human teachers.1 John 2:27
Clean Garments Versus Anointed HeadsIt is a tragedy to walk with clean moral garments while lacking the living oil and sweetness of God's presence on our head.
The Pattern of the Tabernacle and PriestsGod commanded Moses to wash the priests and put holy garments on them, but they still required the anointing oil to minister.
Jesus Needed the AnointingEven Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit for service, reading from Isaiah in Nazareth to declare the Spirit was upon Him.
The Sons of Fresh OilZechariah persistently asked the angel about the olive trees until he learned they represent the sons of fresh oil.Zechariah 4:2
First: A Revelation of God's HolinessThe first result of receiving the anointing is a deep realization of God's holiness, warning us against offering strange fire like Nadab and Abihu.
Second: A Revelation of God's LoveTrue anointing brings a serious understanding of the love of the Father, which cannot coexist with loving the dying world.
Third: The Way of Sacrifice and BreakingGaining the anointing costs something, requiring us to give up laziness and allow God to break us like the alabaster vial.
Two Ways to Lose the AnointingThe anointing can be dumped instantly through pride or slowly drained through small holes like lust, a loose tongue, unforgiveness, and discouragement.
Anointed in the Presence of EnemiesPsalm 23 reminds us that God prepares a table and anoints our heads with oil even in the presence of our enemies.Psalm 23:1
