Increasing the Anointing Intimacy! Although the talk about intimacy seems to be on the tip of almost everyone’s tongue lately, nevertheless, I don’t want that to stop me today from discussing this important subject with you. Since intimacy with God is the connection between us and anything characterizing the kingdom of God manifesting through us that has eternal weight and glory! The fact is when we’re connected to God by intimate relationship, when we’re His friend, not only does God’s anointing naturally flow through us, it increases. And that’s what I want to discuss with you in this Chapter; how to walk in the increase of the anointing. Walking in the anointing and the increase is meant for everyone to experience. It should be natural or normal. So let’s begin, first, by discovering the true state of our hearts because that will lead us to a key building block that will help us walk in the anointing and the increase of the anointing. Intimate With God Did you know that sometimes there’s a conflict between our hearts what we think, and our actions? Often our hearts seem to say one thing, while our actions indicate something quite different. Take the Shulamite Bride in Song of Songs, for instance. Surprisingly, when the love of her life came knocking it was actually very inconvenient for her to welcome him by getting up and out of bed to open the door! Her excuse was that she was falling asleep after getting all ready for bed “I have taken off my robe; how can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; how can I defile them?” Song of Songs 5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? After all, he was her beloved! On the surface, her attitude was, Song of Songs 5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. But there was something deeper that needed to be revealed. So the bride’s heart was tested! And in that testing process she actually ended up grieving the one she loved by not responding to him the way an on fire lover would. Her lack of insight and attention drove him away immediately. Now, let’s consider her unresponsiveness and also take a look at ourselves. Even though we don’t like to think about it, the bride’s apathy towards her beloved is like a mirror that reflects how we behave sometimes! So let’s be honest; are we really intimate with God? Is He truly our friend? Are we only hungry for Him? I ask because true intimacy with God is a key building block, like a corner stone, for walking in the anointing and the increase. Friendship with the Holy Spirit Many of you know already that the key to anything that God has given me has come out of hunger for Him and hunger for the anointing (because I want to receive and reflect all that He has for me so that I’m fully equipped to serve Him). Therefore, I can’t help but talk about the importance of having a hunger for God and for the things of God in almost every teaching I do. I hope you never get sick of hearing this message! Now having said all that, how many of you are saying, “I want more of the anointing?” That’s good because we need the anointing and we need to trust and depend on the presence and power of the Holy Spirit for everything. We don’t want to do anything of our own self. So get a desperate hunger for God, His person and His presence because that’s the key to the power of God and the anointing. Hunger is a major building block, too! When the Holy Spirit comes and visits me and speaks to me, it’s like a living person; the presence of a living person in the room, as I pray. He’s become very intimate. He has become very close to me. We have an intimate bond together. Our friendship is priceless. In fact, friendship with God is another essential building block to walking in the anointing and the increase. But years ago, although I was baptized in the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues, and moving in the gifts of the Spirit, I never knew the Holy Spirit as a personal friend. I never knew the presence of the Holy Spirit and He was never real to me like He is now. I was hungry and I was on a journey to know Him and the power of His resurrection; to be transformed or conformed into His image. “Jesus, I want to be more like you!” I had a passion in my heart for His presence and the power of God. The Lord spoke to me specifically in the beginning and He said, “Bill I can give you any anointing that I have ever given to any man or woman or ministry if you can do what they did to get what they got.” So I started to study what they did to get what they got! Every saint was a friend of the Holy Spirit and what blew me away too, was that in each of their lives there was a thriving prayer life. Here are two more significant building blocks study and prayer. Take Evan Roberts for instance. Before God used him to spark the Welsh Revival and turn a nation and literally hundreds of thousands of youth to Jesus, God touched him to pray. Look at this. Prior to that revival, prior to God using that great revivalist, the Holy Spirit began to visit him and wake him up at 1 a.m. The Spirit of grace and supplication and the Spirit of prayer would come upon him and he would pray until 4 or 5 a.m. Later he would get up about 9 in the morning and pray until 3 p.m. This went on for three months, eight hours a day visitation in the night season prior to God releasing that mighty revival. Also as I studied the lives of other men and women that God anointed for ministry, I noticed that an anointing called increase was upon them. There was something of God’s power upon those men and women that I didn’t see upon a whole lot of men and women today, so I began to hunger for an increase. I wanted more of the anointing.
