THE
POWER OF THE CORPORATE ANOINTING
Prophecy given through Barbara A. Williams, February 20, 1999
"The corporate anointing," says the Lord, "the corporate anointing and the corporate
flow," says God, "the corporate flow must increase," says the Spirit of God.
"The corporate anointing must increase and the corporate flow must increase.
And that anointing to lead the body as many many members and to lead them into
the spirit; to lead them into the spirit of prayer, to lead them into the spirit
of intercession, to lead them into the spirit of deep work in Me," says the
Spirit of the Lord, "is something that must return in greater measure," says
the Spirit of the Living God.
"For there are many people," says the Lord, "who have a wrong spirit, that have
a spirit of dividing the body, have a spirit of separating the body, have a
spirit of not unifying and not appreciating the corporate anointing and the
anointing that comes when all the body parts are fittly joined together," says
the Spirit of God. "There is a unity in My body. There is a sense that My body
is not broken; that it was broken once for you that it might be made whole as
you walk upon this earth." "And so people that understand the preciousness of
a whole body and a non-broken body and that can flow and function with all the
parts functioning," says the Spirit of God. "People who understand the preciousness
of that in My sight who understand how I feel when I see the brethren dwelling
in unity together. OH how precious it is. It is like the anointing, the oil
that flowed from head to toe down Aaron's body," says the Spirit of God. "OH
HOW PRECIOUS WHEN THE BRETHREN DWELL IN UNITY! For that was My vision that David
saw and he spoke those words from My heart," says the Spirit of God. "For the
enemy has come with wickedness to divide and separate and conquer. But Oh, How
beautiful it is when the brethren dwell in unity. For there is an anointing
that flows from the very throne of God. There is an anointing that I pour out
when I see people willing to submit to one another in love. When I see them
willing to appreciate one another. When I see them willing to accept the preciousness
of the brother that is sitting next to them, or the sister that is sitting next
to them. To not know what that person brings and not know what that person carries,
but just to appreciate them and know they are precious by the fact that they
are My image," says the Spirit of God.
"For there is a beauty there, there is an understanding there, and there is
something that I honor," says the Spirit of God. "where I pour out a greater
anointing. I pour out greater unity and greater power. There is a greater flow
of love, a greater flow of peace, there is a greater unction to do My work,"
says the Spirit of God.
"For this is what the early church knew," says the Lord. "This is what the early
church knew and this is what they appreciated," says the Spirit of God. "That
they had great love for one another, that they appreciated one another, and
they knew the power of the corporate unction. They knew the power of the unity
when they would all dwell together, and they would all obey the authority that
was over them that led them into the right things of the spirit, that led them
into the right doctrine. For there were no "Lone Rangers" in the early church,"
says the Spirit of God.
"Everybody was gathered
together under the apostle's doctrine. And they went from house to house with
no body forbidding them. There was no backbiting in the early church," says
the Spirit of God. "There was no man forbidding them to gather in My name because
when they dwelled together there was power there," says the Spirit of God.
"And the enemy has come to scatter, the enemy has come to put division, the
enemy has come to put suspicion on one another and a disrespect for one another,"
says the Spirit of God. "But I the Great Shepherd," says the Lord, "am returning
and putting into My people the right heart that they understand, know and respect
one another. They would understand know and respect My unity, and My corporate
flow, and My anointing," says the Spirit of God. "That they would understand
the things of the spirit like never before," says the Spirit of God. "And they
will understand what work could be done in certain atmospheres. It will not
just be for a few, but it will be for many," says the Spirit of God. "It will
be for all who want to have this knowledge," says the Spirit.
"And so be people of knowledge and people of great understanding," says the Lord. "Some of you understand some things, but I want you to people of GREAT understanding," says the Spirit. "The bride that I coming for will be a bride of great understanding and will know My voice and will know My spirit and will know Me," says the Spirit of God. "For there is a certain sound and a certain ring when that anointing is there and it is present for all of theses things to be accomplished," says the Spirit of God. "And I am training a bride who will know these things. Who will know these things."
"Oh, yes! There is much to know about Me yet," says the Spirit of God. "There is much to know about Me yet. Even those who are married for many many years will tell you they still don't know everything there is to know about that person that they're married to," says the Spirit. "And am I not betrothed to you?," says the Spirit of God. "Are you not coming into intimacy and knowledge of Me?," says the Spirit of God. "And I have called you to walk in everything that I am," says the Spirit. "I'm not a stingy husband. I'm not a lazy husband. I'm not a wicked husband. But I give freely to My bride and I want you to have everything that I am," says the Spirit of the Living God.
"And so know that this corporate flow, this flow of the anointing where people dwell in unity, where they are of one mind and one heart and one spirit, where they are not anxious to move on, where they know the preciousness of waiting for Me to move by unction; that is the flow that is going to dictate where the power is," says the Spirit. "That is the flow. That is the flow that will dictate where the power is," says the Spirit of God.
"And those people will be rare in the days ahead because the enemy will have people running here, there and everywhere, to and fro looking for Me," says the Spirit of God. "But I will not be found here and I will not be found there, but where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together," says the Spirit of God. "Where the CARCASS IS---WHERE THE BODY IS--WHERE THE UNIFIED BODY IS. Where the body is: the people who are assembled under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ in the right attitude, the right mind-set, walking in love, fittly joined together--that's where the eagles will be gathered. That's where the people of strength will be gathered. That's where the people of strength will be gathered," says the Spirit of the Lord.
