The manifestation of God through Jesus Christ. Through the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we now have the power to call for the promises and blessing of God to manifest in our lives.

This week’s sermon title is: “Manifest” The first of the series Manifestation.

The word “Manifest” means to make evident or certain by showing or displaying. The word “Manifestation” is an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something.

As we just celebrated Christmas, we are reminded of the promise of God through the prophets in the Old Testament that God will manifest Himself by sending Immanuel God with us. The manifestation of the birth of Jesus Christ is a necessary event. It is the mystery of God’s plan for saving humanity made manifest. But what does all this mean and how does it impact our lives.

Week, there’s no question that we as a society are constantly searching for the next best thing. Always on the lookout for what’s trendy, what’s fashionable and what will make us seem as though we’re in a better position than we actually are. We find ourselves in a perpetual cycle, always searching, but never finding. Searching for answers to all of our questions. Looking for peace of mind; looking for healing; looking for deliverance; trying to figure out our destiny and understanding our purpose on this earth.

Even as believers, we sometimes forget that we have access to the most powerful, most awesome and most wise being whoever lived. The day we accept Jesus Christ we are granted spiritual access to the culmination or manifestation of every promise that is mentioned in Scripture and more. The question is how do we obtain it?

The power of Jesus Christ can never be defeated. Because God is the greatest power, we can never be defeated. The devil is a liar and God is exalted.

The word defeat means to win a victory over (someone) in a battle or other contest; to overcome or beat. It is an instance of defeating or being defeated.

In every battle there is a Victor. A Victor is a person who defeats an enemy or opponent in a battle, game or other competition.

Victor Christus is Jesus Christ who overcame all powers of evil and the devil. In overcoming Satan through His death and resurrection, He took the keys of eternal death from Satan; therefore, stripping him of all power.

1 John 3:8(NIV) tells us the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” I John‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The purpose of Christ coming to the world was twofold.

• First, He came to bring about the salvation of man. On a personal level, Jesus came to die for us. Christ death on the cross accomplished much more than our personal salvation.
• Second, Christ came to destroy the work of Satan. In the Old and New Testament cultures the fundamental world view accepted the fact that evil existed and at the root of it was Satan. Believers did not wonder why God allowed a person to be crippled with scoliosis; they simply attributed it to Satan.

The Manifestation of Christ as Deliverer. Belief in Christ can change lives, heal wounds, mend families, and deliver dreams. He is truly our deliverer.

Often, oppression is revealed through dysfunctional thought patterns, behaviors or habits that command our attention until we submit to the oppressor, who is ultimately Satan himself.

Demonic oppression in all forms is a type of darkness that can disrupt our lives, families, communities, and nations even unto death. Oppression of any kind requires an opposing power, mightier than the oppressor himself. Jesus Christ who reigns with all power and authority over the oppressor of darkness can destroy Satan hold on us. Jesus is the light; He is Christ our Deliverer.

The biblical definition of faith is “trust.” Often times we trust things only after they have been proven to us. God does not ask us to believe Him without some kind of reason or proof. He has left many evidences that He exists and that His Word is true. When God asks us to have faith, He is not asking us to believe something without proof.

All of us have “faith” (trust) in a large number of things. In fact, life would be impossible without trust. A person would not even sit down if he did not trust the chair would hold him. God asks us to trust that Jesus has been raised from the dead because the Bible, history, and evidences such as speaking in tongues, give plenty of evidence for it.

Once we understand that “faith” is “trust,” we are in a position to understand the “manifestation of faith,” which we might also call, “the manifestation of trust.” In contrast to ordinary faith, the manifestation of faith is the trust that is necessary to accomplish the special tasks that God, by revelation, asks us to do. Contrasting “faith” with the “manifestation of faith” should help to clarify what that means. If I own a chair that I have sat in many times, I have built up trust that it will hold me. I have faith in the chair.

What is “the Manifestation of Faith?” The manifestation of faith is seeing the manifestation of what we believe. It is seeing the evidence of what we anticipated. The manifestation of faith is having the confidence or trust that what God has revealed to us through His Word and Jesus Christ will come to pass at your command.

Faith is a spiritual gift (1 Corinthians 12:9) and Romans 1:17, tells us that the righteous will live by faith.

In Luke 4:18 and Isaiah 61:1 we see something very powerful.

1 We see that Jesus knew exactly what he was supposed to do.

2 We see that Jesus knew that he was empowered by the Spirit of God to do the work

In other words; Jesus was consciously aware of an enduement, an equipping, a supernatural endowment called the anointing. He was aware that God had anointed Him for a purpose.

It is in the mind of God today that every one of His saints be so consciously aware of this anointing that every single one of us could say: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.

This is not simply an idea or an expression or figure of speech; we're talking about the tangible, manifested reality of the Spirit of God resting upon our lives.

It is my intent this morning to help us to realize that this anointing was not just for Jesus nor is it just for Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists and Teachers, it's for every God called blood washed child of God.

It is the will of God that every blood washed HolyGhost filled believer could say with the same certainty and the same authority as Jesus did "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me"

The anointing is the divine enablement and supernatural equipment to carry on the ministry of Jesus.

How is God‘s supernatural power made manifest in our lives?

If all Christians receive the same Holy Spirit, why do some operate in greater levels of anointing than others—delivering powerful miracles through supernatural grace?

What if I told you that you can walk in God’s anointing everyday of the year?

In order to walk out the dynamic Kingdom lifestyle that Jesus made available marked by the manifest presence of God, through signs, wonders, miracles, and the full operation of spiritual gifts; you need to first hunger for a lifestyle of ongoing encounters with the Holy Spirit.

There are no shortcuts to living a life saturated in the anointing nor are there formulas. However, to walk in the power of God’s anointing everyday we must invite the fullness of God to take reign in our lives.

We may all experience the manifest power of God; however, we must hunger and thirst to experience the fullness of the Spirit of God resting upon our lives in supernatural power.

The problem is, many Spirit filled people fail to walk in the fullness of the Spirit, not because of unwillingness, but because few have been given a glimpse or taste of what’s truly available.
