-it was the annointing that takes good works to another level

2 levels of annointing

1. The annointing within us

-awaken a hunger and thrist for God

-a longing for God's presence, love

-when we are confused, we have the Holy Spirit guarding and guiding us

-signs and miracles can't change people's heart

-

2. The annointing upon us

-God form us inwardly, then overflows outwardly

-without inner growth results in burn out

-it is the inner annointing that sustains the outer annointing

-

-we can use the annointing for good or for evil

   -Saul never allow the Holy Spirit to change in heart

      -anger and jealousy destroyed him and the annointing of God left him

-seek the person.. not the power

-if we seek the power, we will use the Holy Spirit. If we seek the person, the Holy Spirit will use us

-it is the not us, but the annointing of the Holy Spirit

-this only happens if we surrender more and more

-we can quieten the Holy Spirit.. it's our choice

-if we reject, He simply withdraw and walk away

-the Holy Spirit is looking for a willing heart

-allow the Holy Spirit to rub it in till our spiritual blindness is gone
