“Ho, EVERY one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness” Isaiah 55:1-2

From the above scripture, wine and milk, represent the Spirit and Power of God (The Anointing). And God makes a clarion call for us to come and buy them. And that, without money or any price…

But inasmuch as he doesn’t want us to buy his Spirit or the Anointing with physical currency (or money), he does expect us to buy them with some demands. After all, if there was absolutely no price for getting the Holy Spirit and his Power, then there won’t be any need for the term ‘Buy’.

So in a spiritual sense, God doesn’t want us to get his Spirit or Anointing with any financial or material price. But all the same, he does expect some things to be exchanged. And this implicit prices can be found right on the scripture above and other scriptures as we’re going to examine soon.

You know, very recently, I have been experiencing the heavenly presence and Power of God in an unusually increasing dimension. And as I meditate on the reason for the Anointing, my eyes are being opened to some scriptural truths that prompts God to anoint his children in an ever increasing dimensions…

And I’m here sharing these truths, so those folks who have been looking up to God for his presence and Power of his presence (the Anointing), can know the right spiritual (and scriptural) buttons to press. And more so, those who have been pressing the wrong buttons can re-align their selves appropriately.

So without any ado…

How Do We Buy The Anointing?

1. Salvation- Acts 2:38: The first step to receiving the presence and Power of God, is to genuinely repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and personal savior.

2. Thirst- John 7:37-39: From the opening scripture of Isaiah 55:1, the word of God says: “Ho Every one that thirsteth…” So before God will anoint you, you need to thirst for the Anointing. If you do not thirst for it, or you’re unbelieving- may be as a result of religion- he won’t anoint you with his Power, because God does not give to people what they don’t desire or believe in.

3. Absolute and Sacrificial Obedience: From the opening scripture, the word of God says: “Hearken diligently unto me…” So as you hearken diligently to God through his word and the leading of the Holy Spirit, you get more and more anointed. As you apply the one he gives you according to his will, he will anoint you the more.

Then finally, because of space, you also buy the anointing by continually being on the lookout for souls and evangelizing them (soul winning) (Matthew28:18-20). You buy the anointing by continual, quality-time, fellowship with the Holy Spirit. You buy the anointing by continual repentance and sanctification by the help of the Holy Ghost…

For a detailed teaching on the Anointing and the scriptural price to pay, get Benny Hinn’s Book; “The Anointing”.

I used to be in a surroundings that was very "return investment tithing" so when giving my "offerings" I would do so with the intent to gain more intimacy with God, it did work. I've since moved on from that setting but it seemed relevant.

basically what I learned through what I described above was, I get more of God, the more I trust him.

Unfortunately the likes of Benny Hinn have absolutely corrupted the concept of the supposed 'anointing' to the point where it is has become virtually unusable. The idea that we can "purchase' anything from God amounts to nothing less than an abomination.

As for the anointing, the only anointing that we is with our reception of the Holy Spirit at the moment of our conversion. Everthying else including the 9 Manifestations of the Spirit (aka, spiritual gifts) essentially has nothing to do with any extra-special annointing as it is the Holy Spirit himself who is the one who works from within the Believer.

What's going on? I'm a Nigerian. I only know Benny Hinn by his books. But I don't know what in the world people hold against Benny Hinn and his ministry. Please can someone help me out?
Many people here are blessed by Benny Hinns ministry, then their are others who don't like the way he ministers, kinda showy. But growing up in the church I have seen other ministers operate the same way. The media, which every christian should know cannot be trusted to tell things correctly, have "exposed" things and blown it out of proportion to make him look like a shyster. There are a lot of people here who would rather believe what the worldly media says than the truth. Sorry to say one cannot really even speak kindly about him without others who choose to believe the lies rising up in wrath and screaming....just watch what happens in reply to this post. Sad. Anyway, Benny, like everyone else in the world has his imperfections. I have very close pastor friends who know him and his wife personally and they speak highly of them. :) I will say I'm not real fond of the way he or any pastor for that matter gets offerings in that they (in my opinion) use tactics of promise of blessings if you give your money. Which the Bible does promise blessing when you give, just some people think they are buying blessings, which I don't really think is correct but it's no different in most of the churches I've ever been in.

Off subject: when I was in grade school I had a pen pal in Nigeria. We were pen pals for years but then in our teens we lost contact. I remember his name as Phoebe Obode...not sure of the spelling on the first name.

Jesus owns the anointing and everything that goes with it because He paid the full price when He died for us on the cross. He also took ownership of the keys of death and of hell from the devil and then rose victorious from the dead. The moment we receive Christ as Saviour, He gives us the anointing completely free of charge in the Person of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we have the anointing in us to use according to His will. It is not like the Old Covenant when the anointing came and went. We have the anointing abiding in us all the time to enable us to be instant in season and out of season. We don't have to ask for the anointing, we just step out in faith in the anointing to do whatever God directs us to do.

To say that if people have to give money to a ministry to allow the anointing to flow is actually fraud, because it is trying to make money out of something that does not belong to them. The anointing will always belong to Jesus and we have been given the power of attorney to use the anointing as long as we use it under the conditions that the Lord sets for its use.

Hi emekrus, I'm an Australian and contrary to what I probably like to think, I could very well be just as caught up with western consumerism and flashy presentations as many others are; but to be polite, poor old Benny is probably at the pinnacle of this type of boorish behaviour.

Now . . . where's that advert for the new 150 inch 3D colour TV along with my free DVD's on how to improve my sense of self identity?

i think the annointing does flow more freely when the house is filled with those of great expectation. where there is no to little expectation and judging of the heart ot the preacher, that does interfere with the annointing. after all even jesus could not heal when the people did not believe.

Not true! Read the passage carefully. Even though Jesus could not do any mighty works in his home town, He was still able to heal people.

Can you explain some of this boorish behaviour you've notice?

Then for the last part, you seem to be speaking in riddles, can you clear the air?

Yes it's true that Jesus owns and paid fully for the anointing. It is also true that the moment we receive Christ as saviour, He gives us the anointing completely free of charge in the person of the Holy Spirit. But suffice me to say-though you may not agree with me- that salvation anointing is not enough for mighty works in the body of Christ.

We can grow in that anointing (or grace). The continual growth in the power of God is what needs to be paid for with the other things I mentioned in my sermon. I did mention that we don't pay for the anointing with money in my OP. But regardless, we pay for it with other scriptural and spiritual requirements. And salvation happen to be one of those prices.

But if salvation which you receive by the price of faith, is all a believer ever gets pay for the anointing, he will remain at the baby level. Which is the level many believers have remained in for years.

You see, a believer can have more of the anointing. Because the anointing is in measures. And this fact can be substantiated with the fact that the scripture says Jesus Christ was anointed without measure. Which logically means everyone of us (who are not Christ) will be anointed in measure.

And we can grow in each of our measure for higher assignments.

Wow...for a number of decades Hinn's flashy and over the top "crusades" have been shown both on TV and Youtube far and wide where he has become well known as the chief minipulator of the masses.

Then for the last part, you seem to be speaking in riddles, can you clear the air?
This could be a bit hard to explain to someone who may not have much experience with western consumerism along with its complicated culture.

The last part he is joking. Benny Hinn seems to enjoy a rather lavish lifestyle. But, being as I don't know him personally, and I've never been in his home, and I've never followed him around so as to see what he spends his money on and/or why, it's really not my place to say. The joking part I think is that most Americans are no different, if they have the money they tend to be lavish with it. I personally think that Benny Hinn is a giver too, he just does not splash his giving around so as to impress people. But that's just my thinking, I don't really know.

Scripture, I don't believe talks specifically about an annointing. The Holy Spirit is in each believer fully.

I don't see the 'buying' of the annointing, or are you believing this because Benny Hinn said it?

Many preacher's have sold many books about things.

Can you list the scripture that specifically references the increase of the Holy Spirit?

If you can not qualify the word 'annointing' why don't you just say the Holy Spirit?

P.S. Grace is not the Holy Spirit. Grace is what Jesus has shown each sinner in giving us the free gift of salvation and our being co-inheritors with Christ to the Kingdom of God and all the riches of heaven. That is grace. Part of what we receive from Christ as our salvation is that we receive the Holy Spirit who resides inside of us.

We need to use the biblical words here, wouldn't you agree?

And that my friend is what the bible says. We grow in our relationship with God by spending time with God.

When we give offerings/tithes they are to further the Lord's work in some way and are something we do to give Him glory or that His will be done in some way. :oldthumbsup:

It's not just the worldly media who do not buy into Benny Hinn. Many in the church do not believe that he is a good representation of the Lord.

I don't want to start quoting Benny Hinn, but I will if necessary. His own words make him exactly what he is. We know what a pastor/elder should be. It's in the bible, so let's not act like Benny Hinn is so misunderstood. One who spends their live, supposedly teaching the Word of God, should be able to adequately 'teach' what is in the Word of God.
