THE PURPOSES OF THE THOUSAND-FOLD ANOINTING:

There are times when God tries to a get our attention and He has been doing this to me numerous times I will see the number 1:11 and 11:11 while doing activities and in prayer and say, I receive those blessings for my me and family, whether it be money, spiritual growth, etc.  The Word says we are to search the meaning of things the Holy Spirit is showing us.

We are in a season of SUPERNATURAL INCREASE AND ENLARGEMENT.

God has Great impartation that will change our lives, our city and our nation.  God has a Blessing for you in this time that is like no other blessing you have ever received, but you must reach out and take it!

God's Anointing of a thousand times more is powerful; it's life-changing, city-changing, nation-changing and world-changing!

This Revelation will launch you into a brand new Dimension!

For example: God owns "the cattle on a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10 NIV).

He has commanded His covenant of blessing "for a thousand generations" (1 Chronicles 16:15 NIV).

THE THOUSAND-FOLD ANOINTING - WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES:

Throughout the Bible there are examples of different kinds of Anointing and measures of Anointing.  We are probably most familiar with Scripture referring to double portions.  The word also refers to hundred-fold, sixty-fold and thirty-fold increase, as well as the Anointing of  a thousand times more!

Of all the meaningful, symbolically important numbers in the Bible, the number 1,000 is one of the most significant. It’s also one of the most common. In fact, the word "thousand" or "thousands" appears 521 times in your Bible. Over and over it is used to indicate more than just a literal quantity of something. It represents God’s unlimited power and abundance.

The Anointing of a thousand times more is a spiritual Anointing and is given to accomplish specific tasks within the Kingdom.  This Anointing is going to be dispensed upon us for one primary purpose: Divine Increase and Enlargement.  God is not interested in merely changing your life, but desires to change lives through you as He did through His Anointed servants in Biblical times.

God introduced Himself to Moses as He who is "Keeping mercy and loving-kindness for thousands" (Exodus 34:7 AMP)

Moses was speaking to the people reminding them what the Lord had told them. He said:  6 The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have dwelt long enough on this mountain. 7 Turn and take up your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South (the Negeb), and on the coast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.  8 Behold, I have set the land before you; go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them. 9 I said to you at that time, I am not able to bear you alone. 10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of the heavens for multitude. 11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you as He has promised you!  (Deuteronomy 1:6-11 AMP)

God has blessed, is blessing and will now bless us with an Anointing a thousand times greater than our present Anointing if we obey His leading and move from our present situation.  Moses was reminding the people of God's promise and blessing them with an even greater Anointing to motivate them to possess all that God had given them.  This Anointing of a thousand times more is seen in several places throughout Scripture.

There’s just something special about the number 1,000 in God’s spiritual economy.

THE PURPOSES OF THE THOUSAND-FOLD ANOINTING:

1. THE ANOINTING WILL HELP US DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES:

God's 1000-fold Anointing has several purposes. One of these purposes is to defeat our enemies. In Judges 7, Gideon and an army of 32,000 men were preparing to fight and overtake the Midianites and the Amalekites. In the previous chapter, God had chosen Gideon to be a warrior and to lead the army.

12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, The Lord is with you, you mighty man of [fearless] courage. 15 Gideon said to Him, Oh Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. (Judges 6:12, 15 AMP)

Gideon did not realize then that the Lord was Anointing him with the Anointing of a thousand times more, but this became clear in chapter 7. As Gideon was preparing the army of 32,000 for battle, the Lord spoke to him and told him the army was too big. God wanted to show the power of His Anointing, so He put the army through 2 tests.

Following these 2 tests, an army of only 300 remained. But Gideon and the army of 300 was Anointed! They were walking in the Anointing of a thousand times more and the outcome was glorious! 301 Men did the job of 32,000. Though the Midianites and Amalekites were as locusts far too many to be counted God's army of 301 soldiers defeated them and the victory was won! Look at Samson who entered a Philistine camp bound with new ropes, but then:

14 And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon [Samson], and the ropes on his arms became as flax that had caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. 15 And he found a still moist jawbone of a donkey and reached out and took it and slew 1,000 men with it. (Judges 15:14-15 AMP)

One man killed 1,000 men - with a primitive weapon. Is this possible in the natural? Absolutely not. But it is possible with God's Anointing of a thousand times more!

Consider David, who as a child, killed a lion and a bear, and then as a very young man, slew a giant named Goliath! And the women sang, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands (1 Samuel 18:7 AMP)

It is a "thousandfold" blessing. David asks for the Lord’s help and favor in order: That our barns may be full, supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields . .

(Psalm 144:13 NKJV).

In David’s day, livestock equaled wealth. There were no banks and no currency. David is literally calling for a thousandfold blessing upon the wealth of the people.

This is David, a man after God’s own heart, appealing to the unlimited multiplying power of the Lord. He is saying, take what we have, Lord, and multiply it abundantly!

None of these feats would have been possible without God's Anointing. The record of David's mighty men in 2 Samuel 23 is also a testament of God's Anointing. One of David's mighty men, Adino the Eznite, killed 800 men at one time with a spear!

GOD'S ANOINTING GIVES US AUTHORITY AND POWER OVER THE FORCES OF DARKNESS:

As Paul writes to the Ephesians in chapter 6 verses 10-13:

10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].  11 Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotism's, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. 13 Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Ephesians 6:10-13 AMP.

2. THE ANOINTING WILL GIVE NATURAL AND SUPERNATURAL PROVISION:

The life of Elijah is a great example of natural and Supernatural provision given by the Anointing. In 1 Kings chapter 17, Elijah was travelling as directed by the voice of the Lord, and God sent ravens to bring him food twice every day. As he continued on his journey, he met a widow and asked her to bring him water and bread. She replied, As the Lord your God lives, I have not a loaf baked but only a handful of meal in the jar and a little oil in the bottle. See, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it--and die. 1 Kings 17:12 AMP.

Elijah told her not to fear, for he knew he was God's Anointed and that God would provide not only for him, but also for her. She fed him, and she and her household ate for many days. And from that point on, the bread and oil was Anointed and continued to meet her need.

GOD IS MINDFUL OF OUR NEED FOR SUSTENANCE, FOR CLOTHES, FOR SHELTER

CHRIST INSTRUCTED IN MATTHEW: 25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? 28 And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. (Matthew 6:25-28 AMP)

3. GOD'S ANOINTING WILL PROVIDE FOR OUR NEEDS:

As Jesus was teaching the multitudes, healing the sick, opening blind eyes, causing the deaf and dumb to hear and speak, Christ was aware that the crowd not only needed supernatural sustenance, but natural sustenance as well.

He knew the crowd was hungry, and unlike today, there was no nearby drive-through restaurant. There were however, a total of 5 loaves and 2 small fishes among the disciples. So Jesus took what they had and through the Anointing provided enough food for 5,000 men, their wives, and their children. What you have, plus God's Anointing of a thousand times more, will provide for multitudes.

4. THE ANOINTING WILL SET THE CAPTIVES FREE:

And it shall be in that day that the burden of [the Assyrian] shall depart from your shoulders, and his yoke from your neck. The yoke shall be destroyed because of fatness [which prevents it from going around your neck] (Isaiah 10:27 AMP)

A yoke is a wood plank that connected 2 animals together, and in a figurative sense represents slavery and bondage. God gives us the Anointing so we can minister, break the yoke of bondage, and set the captives free. We are surrounded by captives those who are in bondage to the powers of darkness who desperately need the love of Christ to bring them to repentance and to loose the chains of sin. Like Christ, we are Anointed to proclaim liberty to the captives and guide them to redemption and restoration in Him.

The Anointing of a thousand times more will affect every aspect of our lives. We will increase in Prosperity. Imagine what minimum wages becomes when multiplied by a thousand. We will increase Spiritually. Imagine what Prayer becomes...We will increase in Ministry. Imagine what Evangelism and Soul-winning becomes...We will increase in Productivity. Work that once took a thousand men will be done by one. We will increase in Revelation. And where there was only one revelation per year, there will now be a thousand. We will Increase in numbers. Exponential growth, power, passion, position and possession, etc. will occur as every believer reaches out and accepts the Anointing of a thousand times more. And the list just goes on and on. The possibilities available through this Anointing are limitless, and this Anointing of a thousand times more is for you!

I CHALLENGE YOU TO DECREE DAILY:

I HAVE THE ANOINTING OF A THOUSAND TIMES MORE ON MY LIFE!!!

I WILL SUPERNATURALLY INCREASE, ENLARGE AND EXPAND IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. NO MORE LIMITS, NO MORE BOUNDARIES!!! IT IS DONE, AMEN!!!

I Asked Holy Spirit to Help and the Door Opened

In a dream, I saw my hand turning a door knob as I asked the Holy Spirit for help, and when the door opened enough, a bright light shone and I passed a letter to a large hand and then the door shut.  Immediately I woke and wrote what I had seen and also logged the time which was 6:12 am.  I had prayed a prayer the night before I had the dream and the next day it was answered, praise the Lord!

This is what the Lord says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord. “They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your descendants,” declares the Lord. “Your children will return to their own land.” Jeremiah 31:16–17 NIV

Ephesians 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Our real battle is not with human cultists, false religionists, atheists, agnostics, and pseudo-Christians, but with the demonic beings working through them, of which even the flesh and blood opponents themselves are sometimes unaware.

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The evil day is taken by some to refer to the end times when the Evil One will launch a ferocious campaign against Christ and His army. A more common view is that any great spiritual contest in a believer’s life could be in view here.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Verses 14–17 present the six pieces of spiritual armor. Four are mentioned specifically and the belt and shoes are implied. Soldiers girded themselves with a belt, from which hung strips of leather to protect the lower body. Truth is considered crucial by Paul (4:15, 25), because a dishonest Christian cannot hope to withstand the father of lies himself. The truth referred to here is integrity, a life of practical truthfulness and honesty. The breastplate of Roman times went completely around the body, so that the back of a warrior was also protected. The breastplate was made of hard leather or metal. The righteousness that the breastplate represents is not the righteousness of Christ, which all believers possess, but the practical, righteous character and deeds of believers.

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

A Roman soldier’s feet were shod with hard, studded shoes. Paul used this image to represent the preparation of the gospel of peace. This may mean either that the gospel is the firm foundation on which Christians are to stand or that the Christian soldier should be ready to go out to defend and spread the gospel.

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Above all may mean that the shield is to be used against everything. It may also mean that the shield is to cover the whole armor. A Roman soldier’s shield typically measured two and a half feet by four feet. The Christian’s shield offers protection against all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Flaming arrows could not penetrate the fireproof shield of the ancient Roman soldier, nor can the assaults of Satan penetrate to the believer who places his or her faith in God.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

The helmet of salvation: The intricately designed Roman helmet protected the soldier’s head and also made him look taller and more impressive. The sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon in the believer’s armor. This weapon is not necessarily the Bible as a whole, but the specific word that needs to be spoken in a specific situation. To have the precise word ready, a person must know the Bible intimately.

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Without prayer, all the armor in the world would be of no use. Praying always: General prayers and specific petitions in the Spirit are to be made for all believers and at all occasions.  Perseverance and patience in prayer are essential.

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

The apostle Paul was not ashamed to ask other believers to pray that he would have the courage to proclaim the gospel. Even as a prisoner, Paul still wanted to be a faithful witness for the Lord.

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Paul was an ambassador in chains in Rome for the gospel of Christ. His prayer was that he might speak boldly, as an ambassador for the King of kings ought to speak.

21–24 The last verses of Ephesians reveal Paul’s appreciation of the ministry of others, especially the ministry of Tychicus (see Col. 4:7). The fact that this letter does not conclude with personal greetings as Paul’s other letters do (see Rom. 16) may indicate that this was a circular letter, one intended for a number of churches around Ephesus. Sincerity may also be translated “without corruption.”

Father, You have blessed us with Your grace and peace, strength and confidence, so that we can fulfill our God-given destinies. When You open a door, no one can close it, and when You close it, no one can open it. Thank You for the plans You have for us. You have given us hope and a good future. We lean not unto our own understanding; we remember You in all we do, and we will have good success in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revelation 3:7-8; Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 3:5-6

Revelation 3:7-13

7 Write this to Philadelphia, to the Angel of the church. The Holy, the True—David’s key in his hand, opening doors no one can lock, locking doors no one can open—speaks:

8 “I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough.

9 “And watch as I take those who call themselves true believers but are nothing of the kind, pretenders whose true membership is in the club of Satan—watch as I strip off their pretensions and they’re forced to acknowledge it’s you that I’ve loved.

10 “Because you kept my Word in passionate patience, I’ll keep you safe in the time of testing that will be here soon, and all over the earth, every man, woman, and child put to the test.

11 “I’m on my way; I’ll be there soon. Keep a tight grip on what you have so no one distracts you and steals your crown.

12 “I’ll make each conqueror a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, a permanent position of honor. Then I’ll write names on you, the pillars: the Name of my God, the Name of God’s City—the new Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven—and my new Name.

13 “Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches.”

Luke 11:5–10 Jesus teaches persistence in prayer, along with a sense of urgency and boldness. He does not suggest that we must overcome God’s reluctance to respond to our requests, but that we must be earnest and wholehearted in prayer. The persistence is necessary for our benefit, not for God’s.  ~NSFLB

Luke 11:9-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
9 “So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who [a]keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened.
