READ: 2 Timothy 1:1-14
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. :-2 Timothy 1:6
You must stir up the anointing that is in you. You must stir up the gift that is in you. Without stirring up the gift of God, the manifestations will not happen. All through the ministry of Jesus you will see how He stirred up the gift and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ performed the greatest miracles ever seen by mankind. Jesus operated and manifested the greatest anointing ever seen by human beings.
How did He do it? How did He stir up the anointing that had been given to Him by God? Remember that Jesus put aside His divinity and took on the form of a man. He therefore needed to be anointed and empowered just like every other human being needs to be.
After being anointed, Jesus needed to stir up the anointing. The anointing on Him could be likened to a sleeping lion that needed to be stirred up into action. “He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up?” (Numbers 24:9). The anointing on Jesus could also be likened to an eagle that could be stirred up to fly at the highest altitudes. “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings…” (Deuteronomy 32:11).
You must see how the anointing is stirred up in the ministry of Jesus and stir up the anointing in yourself. You must understand what stirs up the anointing by looking at the ministry of Jesus. A closer look at the miracles of Jesus will reveal what stirred up the anointing in every single power encounter.
