Touch Not God’s Anointed

12Mar06

If God says something one time, it’s important.  If He says it a second time, you better take heed!

1Ch 16:22  Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psa 105:15  Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Read what David said about Saul, even tough Saul tried to kill him.  There was no mention of Saul’s disobedience of God & his rejection by God.  David was honoring God’s anointing on Saul.  David wasn’t overlooking Saul’s failures, the point was regarding God’s anointing.

2Sa 1:14  And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?
2Sa 1:15  And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
2Sa 1:16  And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
2Sa 1:17  And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
2Sa 1:18  (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
2Sa 1:19  The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
2Sa 1:20  Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2Sa 1:21  Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
2Sa 1:22  From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
2Sa 1:23  Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
2Sa 1:24  Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

Elisha probably had a head full of hair.  It doesn’t matter whether or not he had hair or not.  The term bald was used to say God wasn’t Elisha’s covering.  The children were had no respect for God’s anointing upon Elisha even though it was double that of Elijah.  It is said there isn’t a greater fury than a mother bear defending her cubs.  God’s fury avenging His children is even greater as represented by two mother bears here.

2Ki 2:23  And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2Ki 2:24  And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.

God called Cain & his descendants “Cherubims with a flaming sword”.  A”flaming sword” is the anointed word of God to give the message of the Cross.  The mark on Cain is the same on all those doing God’s will.

Gen 3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Gen 4:15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Lucifer was anointed by God.  God said of Lucifer “Thou sealest up the sum”, “thou was perfect in thy ways….till….”, that was to say Lucifer was the finest Pre-Adamic man God had on the face of the earth.  God said Lot was the finest man in his day, Lot’s “friends” had to apologize to him before God would forgive them.   Michael respected the anointing God had placed upon Lucifer & was careful of what he said.

Eze 28:14  Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15  Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Jud 1:9  Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Read the warning from the Apostle Paul.  Don’t judge God’s anointed!  They belong to God, He will judge them as He did Lucifer.

Act 23:3  Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

I think the finest man & preacher God has on this earth today is Rev. Jimmy Swaggart.  Speak kindly about Brother Swaggart, don’t harbor any resentment or ill will towards him.  Honor God’s anointing on Jimmy Swaggart.   I believe the anointing of the Holy Spirit on him is greater than  on any other preacher.   God’s anointing on a preacher is equivalent to the call of God on the preacher.

The anointing of God is always to preach the message of the Cross.   The word “Christ” means “anointed one”.   It is all about what Jesus did at the Cross.  No Cross, no salvation, no healing & no blessings.   Through what Jesus did at the Cross we can have “life & life more abundantly”.

John 10:10    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
