Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "unction". We find it in these two verses in the New testament: 

1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. KJV

1 John 2:27 But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do].  AMP

This is the Greek word "chrisma". Strong's Concordance says: an unguent or smearing, special endowment of Holy Spirit. Vine's Expository Dictionary says: That believers have "an anointing from the Holy One" indicates that this anointing renders them holy, separating them to God. The passage teaches that the gift of the Holy Spirit is the all efficient means of enabling believers to possess a knowledge of the truth. Chrisma stands for the "anointed" one, "Christ," the noun standing by metonymy for the person Himself, as for the Holy Spirit. Every born again believer HAS this UNCTION! We HAVE Holy Spirit living IN us! 1 John 2:27 tells us that having THIS 'unction', or anointing (Holy Spirit) living IN us means that we have one on one access to HIM! The ANOINTED ONE and HIS ANOINTING! We lack NOTHING that is needful for success ad victory BECAUSE we have HIM living IN us! That priceless privilege and POWERFUL PRESENCE is ALWAYS available TO us when we SEEK HIM! My prayer for you and your family for 2025 is that you will realize HIS presence ALWAYS in you and rely on HIM more thoroghly and completely than ever before! HE desires us to know HIM more like that! Here is Brandon Lake with "Miracle Child" which is what each one of us is to HIM! 

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
