  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello @ablacksheep, the folks at GotQuestions.org are very good at answering questions like yours, and I believe that they are also a good place to (at least) start looking into a new topic of interest. Here are a couple of links to their website about, 1. What does it mean to be anointed & 2. What is the new anointing, that may prove to be useful to you.

God bless you!

what does it mean to be anointed by God?

what does it signify ?

what is it to be anointed by God ?

help please

Blessings in Christ, BlackSheep.

I've never personally heard the expression "new anointing," but I have moved in Pentecostal circles for most of my Christian life, and the term "anointed" is generally used in reference to ministers, teachings, messages, etc. where the Spirit of God rests upon it/him/her in a noticeable way, and the words spoken manifest evidence of being Spirit-uttered and Spirit-led. This is as opposed to teachings, messages etc. that originate in the flesh, and are coming from men rather than God, or to minsters who are operating in the flesh vs. speaking as the Spirit of God leads them.

That's a rough draft of what the term generally means in Charismatic circles. Outside Pentecostalism you will get somewhat different definitions. But then, they're not usually the ones using the term anyway.

God bless, and keep walking with Christ.
Yours,
Hidden
