Fresh Oil
Psalm 92:10
But My Horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
The thought on my heart this morning has to do with something that is missing probably from most of our lives. I have to admit that it is missing from my life. The thought this morning has to do with being filled witht he spirit of God. As a Christian we make a conscience decision on how much we give to the Lord in our life. We make a decision whether we are going to be carnal, lukewarm, or spiritfilled. I know we all hear people say they are spiritfilled yet they yell at their kids, they get angry over things, or they fuss as couples. I am hear to let you know that is not being spirit-filled. The Lord hit me with a ton of bricks on Sunday morning as I was teaching this. If I am not dead I can not be spiritfilled. When we are spiritfilled we are not offended, we are not angry at people. We have the mind of Christ. Let me put a ouch there. You want to test our spiritfilled you are. You heard it right if we get angry with people or we get offended with people, or we talk about people we are not led by the spirit. I believe what is missing from our churches is people having fresh oil when they come to the house of God. The Bible says we should be overflowing with the spirit of God. Being filled with the spirit does not mean that your speak a tongue that no one knows, it does not mean you get a second blessing, it does not mean that you now have the gift of healing. The whole reason for having fresh oil is so others trust Christ as Savior. The world needs to see someone that don't talk, act, listen, or watch the same thing as they do. They need someone that they know is under the influence of someone else. I asked you this most seriously question are you filled with the spirit. If not when was the last time you asked God to forgive you for not being spiritfilled. You want something that will turn your church around get spiritfilled and see what God can do. May God bless you as you ponder the thought today.

I'm sorry I have not been by for a little while, Bro. Tim.
This was an excellent post today. A spirit-filled Christian is a Christian who is yielded to the Holy Spirit. When we are yielded to the Holy Spirit, we will glorify the Lord, Jesus Christ because that is what the Holy Spirit does.
John 16:13-14, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (13) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (14)
This is such an awesome post Tim! It is sad to say that so many Christians out there are not spirit filled. This is some awesome thoughts to meditae on and pray about for me as well. Thank you and may the Lord Bless You!
Great post Bro. Tim!
