We often use the Word CHRIST when referring to Jesus. Jesus was the name by which his neighbors knew him growing up as a child in Nazereth. Christ means (anointed one) and when this is added to his name it is a declartation that God's Spirit is upon his life. So Jesus Christ would mean Jesus, anointed one of God. And then his followers became known as Christians. The root word of that being CHRIST. Which means the anointed followers of Jesus. The Bible says if that SAME SPIRIT that raised Christ from the dead dwells in YOU it will quicken your mortal body! And we ALL have a measure of that anointing, it is the power of God upon our lives. First of all this anointing from God helps us to live a Godly and Holy life. When you 'put on Christ' it means you are putting on the anointing. You are waiting on the Spirit of God until his presence comes and clothes you. You should not let one morning pass by that you do not wait upon the Spirit of God until He comes and clothes you in His presence. It is that anointing that gives us life, joy, peace and the will to live Godly in Christ Jesus.
Romans 13:14 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
When we fail to 'put on Christ' (the anointing) we are making provision for the flesh. The worst part about making provision for the flesh is that in the flesh is where we make all our mistakes in life that cost us later down the line. When we put on the mind of Christ (we allow the anointing to fill our mind with the peace of God) we are being lead by the Spirit of God and He leads us into all truth and blessings.
How do we put on Christ? Walk in the Spirit and you will not make provision for the flesh. Seek God daily until you are so full of the Spirit you are drunk on that same Spirit, completely saturated. Let the Spirit take control of your life. It will not only bring deliverance to your life, but it will mean deliverance for every person that your life touches through out the day!
Galatians 3:27
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
The Spirit of God should envelope your life like a blanket EVERYDAY. IF this is not happening to you in your Christian walk you need to seek God desperately and earnestly until this is happening EVERYDAY. When you are clothed with CHRIST it means the anointing is so wrapped around you that the every plan of the enemy to send spirits to attack you through the day cannot get through that cloak of the Spirit of God that is around your life. That is like a hedge of protection around your life. Cloth yourself in Christ. Who should do this? According to this verse EVERYONE that has been baptized in Christ should cloth themselves with Christ. Clothe yourself with the Spirit of God. How do you cloth yourself in the morning with clothes? You look for them, you put them on. How do you cloth yourself with Christ. You seek the Lord, and when His presence comes, that clothes you in the anoitning.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
Not only does the anoitning help you live a Godly life but it gives you power over the enemy. How do we break sickness? How do we break oppressions? How do we heal the sick? How do we bring liberty to the captive? We do so because we are clothed in the Spirit of God.
Acts 1:8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
What are you going to receive when the Holy Spirit comes? POWER. The Holy Spirit isn't just for making us feel better, or to shout, run, and shake with an EXPERIENCE. The Holy Spirit is come upon you to give you POWER. When the anointing us upon us we have POWER over the forces of darkness. POWER over sickness and disease. POWER over injuries. POWER over circumstances. POWER over lack. POWER over anger, and other works of our flesh.
The key to everything you need is to put on Christ and cloth yourself in the anointing.
