Fresh Anointing
Receiving the Lord’s
Fresh Oil in This Season of Shaking
KEITH
NIX
Transitions are a normal part
of living. If we are growing and moving forward, we regularly experience them.
Most likely you are right now
in a transitional season of life.
Look around at our world. We
are in a time of severe shaking; politically, economically, socially and
personally.
Confusion abounds everywhere.
Everyone has a plan, and each plan seems to contradict and conflict with the
others.
Prophecy
is becoming our reality "Yet once more I will shake not only
the earth but also heaven" (Hebrews 12:26).
There is indeed a whole lot
of shaking going on. But it is not all demonic.
God is shaking things up to
bring his people into a place of alignment with His purpose. Trust Him.
The outcome will be glorious
even when the transition seems tedious.
Be encouraged: The Lord has fresh oil for you during this
season of change!
Psalm 92 is for people who
are going through a transition.
If you notice the psalm
begins before the first verse with these words, "A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day."
So, this particular psalm (or
song) was written primarily to sing on the Sabbath day.
Why the Sabbath day? The
Sabbath is a day of rest; a day set apart for worship, but it is also a day of
transition.
On the Sabbath, you are
leaving one period behind and preparing to enter into a new.
On the Sabbath, you say
goodbye to yesterday and greet tomorrow. It is a day of change, a time of preparation.
The ninety-second psalm is
written specifically for the transitional season.
This psalm holds important
keys to your success.
There
are at least six keys to transition I see in this passage, but primary among
them is the promise found in verse 10, "You have anointed me with fresh
oil."
Oil in the Bible is symbolic
of the Holy Spirit.
To anoint means to "pour out" and "to smear into."
Anointing with oil represents
the Holy Spirit coming to a person to enable him or her to accomplish what
would otherwise be impossible for them.
When
David was anointed to be king of Israel the Scripture says, "Then
Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And
the Spirit of the Lord came on David from that day forward." (1 Samuel
16:13).
It was the Spirit of the Lord
that enabled David to kill the lion, the bear and the giant.
It was the spirit of the Lord
that enabled David to become all God proclaimed him to be.
So, it is for us. We cannot
do what needs to be done without the Spirit of the Lord being mighty in our
lives.
We need anointing! We need
fresh oil.
Why "fresh oil?"
It isn't because there is
anything wrong with yesterday's oil (or anointing.) It was perfect for that
season.
But today we are in a new
season, and every new appointment requires a fresh "ointment" from God.
Far too often the church
tries to deal with today's challenges by using yesterday's oil.
But
new challenges demand fresh empowerment. We read in Acts 13:9, "Then,
Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit ..."
Paul faced a situation unlike
any he had ever faced before, and as the Sorcerer withstood him, the text
indicates that Paul received a fresh filling of the Spirit and a great miracle
occurred.
Today you and I are facing
greater challenges than ever before, but we need not be intimidated!
We can expect to be
"anointed with fresh oil."
God has anointing reserved
for the days we are living in.
He knows what challenges lie
ahead of you, and He is prepared to pour on you exactly what you need for this
day.
Do not be discouraged, and
don't give into dismay.
Those who walk with God will
walk in His supernatural enablement.
Nothing you will face in this
season of shaking and uncertainty is unknown to God. He is ready for it!
He has a plan, and His plan
includes pouring on you fresh oil for the new appointments you face!
Make seeking Him your
priority during this season of transition and receive the fresh oil you need
for the season.
Transitions are a regular
part of our life, and I believe this word will help you navigate the changes.
Take time to study Psalm 92
for yourself, and if you like, we have an audio version entitled
"Navigating Transitions" available at www.KeithNix.net.
I know you will be stirred
and blessed as you dive deeper into this revelation.

Come Holy Spirit I need You
Come with Your strength and Your power
Come in Your own special way
Come Holy Spirit I need You
Come Holy Spirit I pray
Come with Your light and Your wisdom
Come in Your own special way
Come Holy Spirit I Pray
Come With Your joy and our Wisdom
Come in Your own special way
Come like a spring in the desert
Come, to the weary of soul
Lord, let Your sweet healing power
Touch me and make me whole
Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son
Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son
Glory be to the Holy Spirit, our God,
All three in one (now and forever, Amen.
