Our automobiles will not run for very long without oil to lubricate the parts and make the work smoothly. Our spiritual lives can be this way also.  All the parts of our faith walk will not go smoothly without the oil of anointing. It takes the oil in our lives to keep us in the flow of God and what he wants to accomplish in us and through us.

In order for our light to shine we must have the oil and anointing of the Holy Ghost. He is the oil. Without oil we are an empty vessel of no use. Just as an oil lamp is of no use without the oil. The Holy Ghost is what gives us a new spiritual life the oil that allows the light to burn. This is what it means to be born again.

John 3:3-4 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

Nicodemus was high up in the ranks of the Pharisees. He was puzzled by Jesus. He felt like there was more to him than meets the eye. He went to Jesus and talked to him about his ability to heal people. Nicodemus explained that he believed the power came from God.

Jesus told him that he must be born again or he could not see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus being carnally minded wanted to know how he could enter his mother’s womb and be born.

John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

God’s spirit has to move on our innermost being and create a right spirit within us. This is what happens when we are born again. The Holy Ghost overshadows us, sort of like it did Mary. But instead of creating a fleshly baby to be born and walk the earth, he creates within us a spiritual baby that will grow and mature to be more like Christ. This is Jesus in us, or the anointing of God’s Spirit that makes us Children of God.

Notice verse six, that which is born of flesh is flesh. This flesh will one day return to the dust of the earth. But that which is inside, the soul of a person will end up in hell for the sins it committed. If it was never converted to be born of God’s Spirit. The rest of verse six says that which is born of Spirit is spirit.  The part of us that is God in us, or His Spirit will take the soul of those who have obeyed God’s ways to be eternally in heaven with Him.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. We should not think it strange that Jesus told him we must be born again. We must have the Spirit of God inside of us. The Anointing of God.

John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The Greek word for wind is pneuma. It is also the same as the word for spirit. The word listeth means where it wishes or desires to go. Showing there is a freedom to the Holy Ghost. He will work in whosoever will let him. We have to be born again and then yielded to him for him to use us. In other words, we must be willing vessels.

In the Hebrew the word for wind is Ruach. This word is found first in Genesis 1:2 when God’s spirit hovered over the waters at creation and brought forth life on the earth. The wind or Spirit brings for life.

Tomorrow I will continue to show you examples of The Wind of God.
