He was talking about how to keep the Holy Spirit close, and wasn't being idolatrous about "the anointing" -- he was calling for us not to settle for anything less than the continuing, manifest presence of Jesus in His Spirit here on Earth. That meant having a continuing, intimate and broken walk before the Lord on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>I can well understand why the Spirit told Baxter to seek the people of the anointing, rather than a specific group. After some practice and years of prayer and fasting (heh!), it shouldn't be too hard for a believer to identify the anointed people. The challenge is continuing to *care* that it's important to seek the anointing!Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436503359863046095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1139408865968021472006-02-08T14:27:00.000+00:002006-02-08T14:27:00.000+00:00Amen!Amen!Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-1139404868417857462006-02-08T13:21:00.000+00:002006-02-08T13:21:00.000+00:00Ern told this story as part of his series on the K...Ern told this story as part of his series on the Kingdom and the Holy Spirit in 1991. Two things he said then which in my mind join up some of things you have posted recently.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, that the Kingdom of God is "in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). This means that the coming of the Kingdom and the Holy Spirit are inextricably linked. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, that sometimes we can sound theologically so full of exousia but lack the dunamis to blow the fluff off a peanut! <BR/><BR/>Makes me laugh and provokes me to pray for not just a revelation of authority but an empowering of the Spirit that makes the Church a more effective agent of the Kingdom in deed and not just word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
