But the anointing represents the presence and the power of God in your life. ![]() Some of you maybe don't really understand what the anointing is. And, so this is saying that unity is like the anointing. You got anointed and it ran down your beard and your hair and all over and just covered your whole body. But the point is, is they weren't into all that back then. So I said to his assistant, I said, "He's not gonna pour that on my head, is he"? He said, "No, no, no". So, I thought, "I can't communicate with him". And I said to his assistant, because this guy didn't even speak English. And he pulled out this big vial of oil and I thought, "Uh-oh! Uh-oh, he looks like the real deal". And so, I asked him to pray for me before he left. We had a guy at our office, powerful man of God who deals with the underground church in china, been in prison so many times, I mean, you can just tell, I mean, he's just got power all over him. They took a bottle and poured it on them. Now, when they were anointed back in those days they didn't just dab a little oil on 'em like we do today. Verse 2, "It is like the precious ointment poured on the head that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron the first high priest, that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garment consecrating the whole body". "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity". Psalm 133, the entire Psalm, which is only a few verses, so don't feel like you're gonna faint. And whatever they ask, I'll do it for them. "Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever, anything and everything that they might ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by my father who is in heaven".ĭo we even begin to realize how powerful that is? God says, if I can find just two people that can get along and get into agreement and really walk in love, the power of their prayers is ramped up to a whole another level. Amen? So, we're going to look first at Matthew 18:19. And in order to do that we have to learn how to disagree agreeably. And so, we're going to kind of back into this message, first looking at how important it is to learn how to live in agreement. You see, a lot of times you can't get rid of the root until you deal with the fruit. Amen?Īnd so, today we're going to talk about three things that the Bible says causes strife. You can feel it between parents and their kids. You can feel it in the atmosphere, you can feel it between a husband and wife. Amen? But now, strife is defined as bickering, arguing, heated disagreement, and an angry undercurrent.Īnd I think the part that's the most scary to me is the angry undercurrent because that's when everybody kind of knows something's not right, but nobody's dealing with it. Say to yourself, "I got my feelings hurt. Little things, little foxes spoil the vine. That's why it's important to take care of these little offenses. Strife is what you get after the hangnail has festered and become infected and now it's starting to really make you sick. ![]()
