God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power (Acts 10:38). The Holy Spirit rested on Him and filled Him. The Holy Spirit was His source, revealing His Father’s will and His Father’s words. Jesus lived in His Presence, His power, and His love all the time.
The same Holy Spirit is available to you. When you honor Him, everything transforms. Our job is to seek Him, find Him, stay there in that union…and ENGAGE.
We all want to go deeper, that is why we are here listening.
The Holy Spirit is seeking believers to fully engage with Him. It is time to come out of the world, and its nonsense, and engage fully with His truth.
To begin, let’s look at the definition of engage and let the Spirit reveal to us what He is inviting us to do.
ENGAGE:
Make one part of a machine fit and move together with another part of a machine.
To interlock with
to bind by a promise (ex: engaged to be married).
to employ a professional to complete a service
to give your full ear of attention to in conversation.
to offer something (your word, your life) as in “He engaged his all for the king’s cause.”
to engage in warfare.
In light of these definitions of the word “engage”, here are some scriptures Jesus spoke:
Remain in life-union with Me, for I remain in life-union with you. -John 15:4
Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you. This is the greatest and supreme commandment. -Matthew 22:37
Engage.
It comes down to this: where is your heart? Is the attention of your heart divided?
But Jesus did not yet entrust Himself to them because He knew how fickle the human heart can be…-John 2:24-25
Their hearts were not fully engaged with Him.
Jesus invites us in this “engagement” scripture:
Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you (engage) and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul.” Matthew 11:28-29
Our question right now is, “Where is my agreement?” What is your believing heart fastening itself to by belief. Is it a lie of the enemy? Do you believe what Jesus said about you? This is where we engage in warfare. We stand up to every deceptive lie that tries to bring separation between us and our God-given identity.
A believer who is fully engaged with the Truth giving Holy Spirit looks like Ephesians 1:1-8,13-14.
they are engaged in the revelation of the gift of holiness
they are engaged in the well-spring of grace
they are engaged in spiritual abundance and joy
they are engaged in their calling and purpose
they are engaged in perfect love
they are engaged in the river of giftings (Eph. 1:6-8)
they are engaged in complete freedom through His anointing (Eph 1:13-14)
It is time to engage so we can advance to new revelations.
An engaged heart causes other hearts to engage!
You were baptized into identity when the Spirit filled you. You were washed in the authority of Jesus Christ and His anointing. You were baptized into the power of the Holy Spirit for others. That power shifted you to a new reality and it engaged you in a new life. You can now be engaged with the deep places of God’s Kingdom Realm-the realm of His possibilities.
Remember, the Holy Spirit puts you in contact with the heart of God and the voice of Jesus.
Thank you for being a part of this class. Listen to the recording, it is filled with so much more than this synopsis.
