Hey, welcome to the City Point Church podcast.
0:04
Thanks for joining us. Every day is an opportunity to
0:07
take hold of. So we hope this message inspires
0:10
you and build your faith that it helps you have more of a God
0:13
perspective for your day. Enjoy this.
0:17
Is going to be the best year of your life.
0:19
Could you declare out loud today?
0:21
My heart is open. My ears are alert to grow and
0:28
change and never be the same. Amen.
0:34
Let's just stay up on our feet for a moment.
0:40
Who felt the presence of God in the worship?
0:43
Isn't that amazing? It's a great blessing when He
0:48
lets us feel His presence like that, isn't it?
0:50
We don't take that for granted. And you know, I believe that God
0:54
is saying that there is barren dreams, barren women in the
1:00
house today, barren purposes, that the anointing of God is
1:06
going to fall upon during the service today and he's going to
1:11
breathe upon those things, life. And I, I was reminded of the
1:17
Virgin Mary. What was impossible in man's
1:21
eyes was not even an obstacle in God's eyes.
1:26
You know, let his will be done. Amen.
1:29
On earth, in our lives, as it is in heaven.
1:33
I believe also that there is a supernatural anointing today in
1:37
the service for the unbelievable.
1:44
For the unbelievable. I can't even put to words what
1:48
it is that I'm feeling with that.
1:51
I can't quite find the word. So I just came up with
1:54
unbelievable. But God is going to turn some
2:02
things in some people's worlds around where it's like even you
2:08
can't recognize or pinpoint what it is that you need turned
2:14
around, but life isn't quite complete yet for you.
2:20
Maybe something's been stolen from your life or taken from
2:24
you, but God's going to breathe. I, I feel like the anointing
2:32
today in this very service is this type of anointing.
2:37
I've never felt this before at the beginning of the year, but
2:40
this is a powerful anointing of the presence of God.
2:44
And so my encouragement to you is, would you just be open to
2:47
receive? There's no tricks to this.
2:50
There's no right prayer that you don't lift your hands the right
2:54
way, you know? Yeah.
2:56
Is it like a carp or do I need to be wired like Ingles wings?
3:00
You know, like there's no right way except for the graces of
3:05
God. And he just lets his presence
3:07
and the Holy Spirit comes, but he's going to get, he's going to
3:12
get a key today and he's going to unlock you.
3:18
And it's going to be unbelievable what the Lord has
3:21
done. And it's going to become part of
3:26
your life testimony. It's not just going to be part
3:33
of your life, life testimony of look how good the Lord is.
3:40
It's going to be the testimony of the Spirit of God, a
3:48
testimony that breaks through religion and moves to the Spirit
3:55
of the God came upon me and anointed me.
4:00
Jesus said these words, didn't he?
4:02
Preach the gospel, share the good news to raise the dead,
4:08
bring healing to sick to declare the hour of the Lord.
4:15
Why don't we all just lift our hands across this place?
4:20
Holy Spirit, Mighty God, Mighty God, Mighty God.
4:48
God of wonder, majestic God, Holy Spirit and Father, we pray
5:14
for our children in this place right now.
5:28
That your anointing would fall and break every yoke, cover
5:38
their lives, and I pray for every single child in this room
5:47
that they would walk forward in life with the presence of God
5:51
upon them. That they would have eyes bound
5:58
and set on the culture of heaven and not on the culture of this
6:02
world. That they would be anointed to
6:12
bring healing to a nation and even the world.
6:18
In this room today, we thank you, Holy Spirit, in Jesus name,
6:25
Amen, Amen. When we give God a shout of
6:27
praise, thank him. We're thanking him right now.
6:32
Thank you Jesus, Amen and Amen. Well, today is a special
6:38
service. We're going to anoint anyone who
6:40
would like to be anointed at the end of the service, and we're
6:44
going to worship together. But I have a message that I've
6:47
titled Anointed Alignment, Anointed Alignment.
6:52
Today for you and I, this is about aligning our life with the
6:57
purposes of heaven for what God wants to achieve through our
7:01
life. Amen. 2026 isn't just a year,
7:05
it's a year that has never been and will never be again.
7:10
We have one shot at 2026. And if Jesus doesn't come back,
7:17
which like he should, right Soon, Yeah.
7:22
See if Jesus doesn't come back, this is the year of opportunity
7:29
for you and for me to fulfill the purposes of God on our
7:34
lives. But there's words that I just
7:38
said. It's the purposes of God on our
7:42
lives. It's not my purpose.
7:45
It's not my will, it's not my endeavour, it's not my business,
7:50
it's not my family, it's not anything except for what the
7:55
Lord has. The will of the Lord, Amen.
7:58
And so therefore we have to come into alignment to His will, not
8:03
God come into alignment with our will.
8:05
Amen. You received that today.
8:07
Why don't we take our seat this morning?
8:10
The action of being anointed is an action of alignment.
8:16
We align ourselves with the cause of Christ, which simply
8:20
means the mission of God. And what the mission of God is,
8:25
is simple. It is preaching the gospel.
8:29
It's making disciples. It's being discipled and
8:34
declaring the majesty of God through the way we live our
8:38
lives. God's anointing flows from our
8:45
action of surrender. You know, in, in, in my life
8:52
when I feel like there's a lack of anointing or the anointing
8:56
levels are dropping, I have to move towards surrender.
9:01
I have to move into a realm where where I just surrender.
9:05
What? What does surrender?
9:06
Surrender might look like looking at your prayer life and
9:10
going because all of us, right, We would go, well, how do I fit
9:13
that in or how do I fit more in than what I'm doing?
9:17
Surrender. You know, the thing about
9:20
surrender is so inconvenient. Surrender has never lined up
9:25
with my regime. Surrender has has never been
9:29
something Mel and I agree on. You know, we don't go.
9:32
Oh, let's agree to surrender more.
9:34
You know what I mean? God starts to do a work in you
9:38
and when you get desperate enough for God to use you and to
9:42
move in your life and his presence and his power and his
9:46
glory to be on your life, when that is greater than self
9:50
comfort, then you move into the realms of surrender.
9:54
And I believe that in 2026 men in this church, this is the
9:57
greatest church on planet earth. Who knows that, right?
10:01
And in this church, for many, many years, we've been talking
10:04
revival. It's my throat delicious.
10:25
We've been talking revival. I don't know, like how long
10:28
you've been in this church for, but everyone that comes to this
10:32
church and new to the church, they just go.
10:35
There's something I can feel in the air, can't explain it, but I
10:40
just feel like miracles and things are just about to break
10:43
out. Who's been feeling that now for
10:45
many, many years, right? And I just had a testimony not
10:50
long ago, just a few weeks ago of someone out to just said that
10:52
to me. And I'm like, man, tell me about
10:55
it. Like, like we, we feel it all
10:57
the time. God has been preparing the soil
11:01
of this church for 2026 and I'm not here today just trying to
11:06
make a a big vision feel in the atmosphere to stir you up for a
11:11
great year. I'm talking what's true to me
11:14
and what's what's what's honest to me and and is coming out of
11:19
like the genuineness of my heart that God has been preparing the
11:23
soil in your life and in my life in the leadership of this church
11:28
in the community in the life of this community.
11:31
God has been preparing the soil for a great, amazing harvest to
11:36
flourish. Amen.
11:38
And the Bible says that the harvest is ready, but the
11:40
laborers are few. But I sit here today and I look
11:44
out to this congregation and I see many, in fact hundreds of
11:49
people who are ready to go out and reap a harvest.
11:52
Is any workers in the house today?
11:55
People are ready to be on mission, but God's anointing
11:59
requires an alignment from our lives and His anointing requires
12:04
a surrender from our lives. From the early days of creation,
12:10
oil has been regarded as a vital part of day-to-day life.
12:16
So for the use of food, for the use of deodorants, which is a
12:20
good thing in summer of keeping insects off people, also
12:24
animals, they anointed animals in the in the day, they probably
12:28
still do light and lamps. It was used for that sun cream.
12:32
Skin care products like oil has been used throughout the ages.
12:37
And in Genesis 28, Jacob, who was later named Israel,
12:44
encountered God in a dream. Amazing story.
12:52
And when he woke, when Jacob woke up, he dedicated that
12:58
place, calling it batal, which means or translates to Bethel or
13:05
House of Gods. And now this is where the
13:09
anointing starts to come in for Jacob.
13:12
Jacob set up rocks and he consecrated that place, saying
13:17
declaim that this is the House of the Lord.
13:21
And he did that by pouring oil over it.
13:26
This was the place where God met Jacob.
13:31
Listen, anointing oil is a sign of consecration.
13:38
When we anoint you today, this is what we're saying.
13:44
I am a consecrated child of God with purpose and I come into a
13:50
lineman today in Exodus 2841 and you see it later in Exodus 29,
13:58
God directed Aaron and his sons to be anointed as the Israel's
14:02
high priest through the pouring of anointing oil on his head and
14:08
garments. Anointing oil as a sign of God's
14:13
appointment on their lives. In first Samuel 10, one Samuel
14:18
pulls oil on the head of King Saul, anointing him and then I
14:23
love what God said about King David in the Bible, love David.
14:28
In Psalms 89 verse 20 to 24 it says this says I have found my
14:34
servant David with my holy oil. I have anointed him with whom my
14:41
hand shall be established. Also my arm shall strengthen
14:45
him. Let me tell you when, when God
14:48
anoints you, God is with you. When His anoint anoint you.
14:54
You can know His hand is upon your life.
14:58
His mighty arm is on your life. It will strengthen you.
15:03
Verse 22. The enemy shall not outwit him,
15:10
nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
15:15
This outwitting thing of the enemy, this affliction of the
15:19
enemy, it ends today. Come on.
15:25
Would you declare this for your family?
15:29
I will beat down his foes before his face.
15:35
You know what that tells us? It tells me, stop fighting and
15:40
start praying because the fight is not against flesh and blood.
15:45
Amen. And when we are aligned with
15:49
God, God will do the fight for us.
15:54
I will beat down his foes. Isn't the great, great words.
15:58
I'll beat down his foes before his face and plague those who
16:03
hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy
16:07
shall be with him, and in my name his horn shall be exalted.
16:15
Let me tell you today, Church, we aren't just anointing in this
16:20
place because it's a good ritual and it's it's a churchy thing, a
16:24
religious thing. We do this because we are
16:28
aligning ourselves with the purpose of of God that this
16:32
scripture would be fulfilled in yours, in my life this year.
16:36
Amen. You can stand on God's word.
16:39
God has called all these people to Kingdom purpose.
16:44
We have been chosen today. You've always wondered why do
16:49
they get chosen, not me. Well, let me tell you today, if
16:52
you're in this house, part of this church, you have been
16:55
chosen. Amen.
16:58
But now we must choose to be anointed unto God and to come
17:02
into anointed alignment with the call of God.
17:06
So you can be chosen, but if you don't choose to come into
17:09
alignment, the being chosen comes to nothing.
17:17
This goes all the way back to the old faith.
17:19
Without works is dead. You can have the faith, but if
17:23
you don't have works, you don't really have the faith, Amen.
17:28
You can be chosen, but if you don't choose to take that up
17:31
that call, it comes to nothing. And so today, Church, you have
17:37
been chosen. But I am calling out of you
17:41
today. Would you choose to come into
17:44
alignment for 2026 as your greatest year ever?
17:49
Amen. You know from the beginning oil
17:52
has been used and God has chosen oil to sanctify and to set
17:57
something or someone apart unto holiness and himself.
18:02
Listen to these descriptive words.
18:04
I love this scripture in Two Corinthians 214 to 16 and Paul
18:10
uses these words when referring to who we are as believers in
18:15
Jesus Christ. Verse 14 says this.
18:18
Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph, in triumph
18:23
in Christ, and through US diffuses the fragrance of his
18:28
knowledge in every place, For we are to God the fragrance of
18:34
Christ. Say I am fragrance to Christ.
18:40
He for we are of to God the fragrance of Christ among those
18:45
who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
18:49
You are the fragrance of Jesus Christ, of the gospel of Jesus
18:54
Christ, of the answer of the world to our community.
18:59
In the shopping center. You have a fragrance upon you.
19:03
Now there is a bad fragrance and there's a holy fragrance.
19:10
There is a fragrance that repels people from the church, and
19:14
there is a fragrance that draws people to Jesus.
19:18
And you and I are carriers of the fragrance of Jesus Christ in
19:25
your house, in your schools, in your university, in the shopping
19:31
center. When you go to Woolies, wherever
19:34
you go, you have a fragrance upon your life.
19:39
And would you allow this year? Would you say God, this year my
19:44
life will line up with your purposes?
19:47
That when I walk into a room, people smell Jesus on me.
19:51
That when I walk into a room and anointing flows and the flames
19:55
get bigger. That when I walk into the room,
19:58
the living water of God would flow out of me, and those plants
20:02
and those seeds would sprout and grow in people's lives.
20:06
Would you and I declare in our? Today and right now that I will
20:11
be anointed today because I have the fragrance of heaven all over
20:17
me. I will repel insects, I will
20:20
repel the enemy, I will repel darkness and I will walk in
20:25
lights. I will walk unhindered by the
20:27
shackles of this world because I am anointed and I am a child of
20:32
God. Amen.
20:37
I'm lost for, for we are to God the fragrance of Christ among
20:46
those who are being saved, among those who are perishing.
20:49
Verse 16 To the one, we are the aroma of death leading to death,
20:55
but that's not us. And to the other, the aroma of
21:00
life leading to life. Amen.
21:03
Who carries the aroma of life today leading to Jesus Christ?
21:08
See, Paul understood what it was to live with the Holy Spirit
21:12
inside of him and listen all over him.
21:18
I wonder today if you're prepared to surrender to a point
21:26
where as children of God, we are no longer just defined by people
21:37
who have the Spirit of God in us, but today would you
21:42
surrender whatever this is taking?
21:43
I believe the Holy Spirit's even speaking to people now that we
21:47
would have the Holy Spirit saturated all over us as well.
21:53
I love that you're going to heaven, but would we take as
21:59
many people as we can with us? See, the Spirit of God in you is
22:04
the evidence of your salvation, but the Spirit of God on you is
22:09
for a purpose for others. When you are anointed like we
22:14
are today into an era into when you a new year into a purpose,
22:21
those purposes is always, always full stop for other people.
22:28
Otherwise God will just take you back right now.
22:30
But the reason why he doesn't take you and I to heaven soon as
22:33
we get saved because he goes now that I'm in you, I can get
22:39
through you, but that happens in surrender.
22:42
Amen. You're willing to surrender
22:43
today. Amen.
22:46
Both of these verses I have just read.
22:50
Well, I've read 1, so why don't I read the second one first?
22:52
John 227 But the anointing which you have received from Him
23:01
abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you, but
23:08
as the same anointing teachers you concerning all things and is
23:13
true and is not a lie. And just as it has taught you,
23:19
you will abide in Him. Amen.
23:23
The abiding in is the surrender to abide in in order for Mel and
23:28
I to deepen our relationship. Where where Mel says I'm in grey
23:33
and I and I say I'm in Mel. We are.
23:35
We are like one. It requires time.
23:39
It requires a date night, it requires us going to the movies
23:44
and seeing Avatar 3D. That's what we did last week.
23:52
Both of these scriptures are referring to the Holy Spirit who
23:55
is our fragrance and our anointing.
23:58
Listen, we are the catalyst of the love of gods, which is known
24:02
by the aroma or the anointing on our lives through our anointed
24:09
alignment. The Holy Spirit is the power in
24:12
the anointing and we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
24:16
And today we remind ourselves of this listen to this God
24:22
instructs us to anoint to heal the sick.
24:25
James 514 to 15. It says is any among you sick?
24:30
Let him cool on the elders of the church.
24:33
Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the
24:37
name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will say the sick isn't
24:49
that amazing what what we just read.
24:53
It doesn't say this. It doesn't just say and the
24:57
prayer of faith will save the sick.
25:05
It says first anoint who does the saving?
25:14
See, when we partner with God and we are walking in anointing,
25:21
then the prayer of faith has substance.
25:25
You know, many, many believe in God and they're not going to go
25:30
to heaven. It's one thing to have a belief
25:38
in something. It's another thing to place your
25:42
faith in that something. They're two different words.
25:49
The enemy believes in Jesus Christ.
25:54
He believes he's real. He believes that he he came to
25:59
earth and went to the cross, but we won't find him in heaven
26:05
because he no longer has faith in Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
26:11
When you and I are walking anointing, and then someone
26:15
comes and we lay our hands on the sick, they recover.
26:21
Many, many people pray for people and nothing happens.
26:26
So the great question is, is where is your surrender line at?
26:32
Because you need to get anointed.
26:34
Again, I'm not talking about do you have the Holy Spirit in you,
26:39
I'm talking about do you have the Holy Spirit on you?
26:42
Is He dripping off your life? Is he smelt by people around
26:47
your world? Can you see the difference if
26:50
something's in something? You know, I watched Star Wars
26:53
the other day. There's a very graphic scene, so
26:55
we won't go there. But the animal was was warm on
27:01
the inside, but in the snow, it wasn't till you got on the
27:06
inside that you felt that warmth.
27:09
Let me tell you, the Spirit of God is in you and He's
27:14
empowering you if you allow Him to work through your life.
27:19
But we also need the Holy Spirit on us so He's evident to the
27:23
world around us. And when we lay our hands on
27:27
people that anointing transfers to them and we see a healing
27:32
happen. I love Clark Taylor, when he
27:34
used to pray for people, he used to always pray for an
27:37
impartation. See, his prayers was moving, was
27:42
moving beyond a mystical concept of prayer into Holy Spirit.
27:50
You have anointed me to bring healing to this vessel.
27:55
So I pray for an impartation as I lay hands on them.
28:00
Can you see the difference here today?
28:02
And you know this is available for you.
28:06
And so this is the call in 2026 that we walk in a new level of
28:12
anointing, and the prayer of faith will save the sick, and
28:16
the Lord will raise him from the dead, and if he has committed
28:19
sins, he will be forgiven. Wow, the power of the Holy
28:22
Spirit. We align ourselves remembering
28:25
that the Holy Spirit dwells in US and calls us to stand in
28:30
faith also. Why?
28:32
Because we know this crazy power can flow through us also when we
28:38
step out in faith. He wants some crazy power in
28:41
their lives. Amen.
28:44
You know Jesus Christ is more accurately rendered as Jesus the
28:49
Anointed One or Jesus his Anointed, the anointed of God.
28:58
In Luke 418 Jesus quoted Isaiah 61 one and publicly announced
29:04
himself as the divine Messiah. Jesus said in Luke 418 the
29:10
Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Why?
29:15
Because He has anointed me. Jesus lived in anointed
29:23
alignment with the Father and Spirit.
29:26
Today God might be calling you to give your life to Him and
29:31
align yourself with these purposes for your life.
29:36
Let me tell you, Jesus is love for you today.
29:40
He will forgive you of everything.
29:42
We just read that when the anointing comes, even when we're
29:47
praying for like a sick person, if there's sin in your life, you
29:54
will be forgiven. And today, no matter who you
30:02
are, where you've come from, what your years have been to
30:05
now, 2026 can change it all for you.
30:10
Or I should say, Jesus in 2026 can change it all for you.
30:18
I'm wondering here today, if you don't know Jesus Christ as your
30:22
Lord and Savior, would you come into alignment with the Kingdom
30:26
of heaven, the only Kingdom that exist?
30:36
Jesus is so gracious and wonderful, so loving and kind,
30:42
that when he touches someone's life, his grace and peace
30:49
delivered through the Holy Spirit, Father, Son, Spirit,
30:54
this is the true Trinity. It's what the Word of God
30:57
teaches us and the Spirit of God delivers grace.
31:02
It's a gift and he pours this on your life and more than that,
31:09
the Holy Spirit enters your life, which is an interesting
31:15
concept because the reality is believer or non believer, you
31:22
only have a breath because of the Holy Spirit.
31:29
He sustains us. But when you give your life back
31:34
to the Father through Jesus Christ and accept him as your
31:37
Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit brings life back into you real
31:42
life. I'm not talking about living as
31:45
in waking up in the morning. I'm talking about living with
31:48
joy in your life, with peace in your life, with revelation in
31:54
your life and with purpose in your life, with an anointing
31:59
upon your life and with the Holy Spirit in you, with the love of
32:05
God all around you, with forgiveness pouring over you
32:09
every single day, every moment of your life.
32:13
Forgiveness just flows and flows and flows over our lives.
32:19
This is the graces of God, but it does require a surrender.
32:26
It requires an alignment moment. And today, if you don't know
32:31
Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I'm going to give you this
32:34
opportunity right now for you to bring your life into alignment.
32:39
You know what, You might never have done this before, just
32:44
right now. A simple decision will bring you
32:47
into alignment. But maybe you're here and you've
32:50
done this many times and you're hearing this and you're like,
32:56
Pastor Gray, I really need to get into alignment.
32:59
I need to get into an understanding that isn't shaky,
33:05
that I am a child of God, a belief that isn't shaky, that I
33:10
will go to heaven if I was to die right now.
33:13
You know, if you can't answer that question, you need to get
33:18
back into alignment with God. If you were to take your last
33:22
breath today, would you go to heaven or not?
33:27
If you can't answer that simply, you know, I think, I think I
33:33
think I will. You need to come back into
33:36
alignment with God. Because let me tell you that
33:39
when you know, you know that you know.
33:42
Amen.
