Losing the Anointing

One concept Yahweh taught Israel when He made them His nation was that unclean things touching clean things make the clean become unclean. When Jesus touched something unclean, He made it clean. He cleansed leprous people. He cleansed whores and traitors and religious and sick people of their sins and their demons.

There is a teaching among Pentecostals and Charismatics that a person can “lose the anointing” by touching certain people or by being touched by certain people. “Anointing” means something like “smearing” or “rubbing” or “wiping,” usually with oil. “Christ” is Greek for “One Who is anointed.” “Messiah” is Hebrew for the same phrase. Yahweh called Cyrus, king of Persia, His “anointed” through Isaiah (chapter 45). When Isaiah spoke the prophecy, Cyrus hadn’t been born yet. When it came to pass, Cyrus didn’t know yet that Yahweh existed. No human was capable of un-anointing Cyrus.

If you have an anointing that someone can wipe off of you, it might not be supernatural. There should be more pressure in you (Holy Spirit) than there can be on you (any other spirit) at all times.

Shine. Be awesome!
