5.1. Critical Elements of the Anointed Life
- Anointed Believer
If you have at some stage prayed to receive the Set-Apart Spirit or have had the Spirit imparted through the Laying-on-of-Hands or through immersion, then you ARE an “Anointed Believer” and a “Christ” and a “Saint” to apply commonly used words.
- Led by the Spirit of Yah
The “Anointed Life” is about living and being LED at some level by the Spirit of the Almighty indwelling you.The extent to which this happens is a function of how much you are filled with Fathers Spirit and HOW MUCH EFFORT you make to be so led.
- Effective Cleansing is Important
Effective cleansing and preparation as set out in the section on cleansing is HIGHLY desirable in order to craft a strong foundation for the Anointed Life.Refer to the document “Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator” on the Website.
- Appropriate Prayer is Essential
Appropriate Prayer asking for in-filling with the Spirit on a daily basis is really important as are daily prayers for guidance, direction, etc.
- Appropriate Worship is Essential
Appropriate Worship is essential to being really effective as an Anointed One.There are recommended songs on the Website on the main menu.They must be a mixture of Adoration (love making), Praise, petition for guidance and affirmation of commitment.
- Restructure Your Life
In order to TRULY serve Father Yah as an Anointed One it is essential to significantly restructureyour life so that He is the central focus and all that you do is to please Him and serve Him such that your secular activities are restricted to what is necessary to enable you to make an adequate living and have the time to serve Him.
- Drastically Curtail Secular Activities
IF you are TRULY committed then you will drastically curtail and quite possibly cut out altogether sports, dancing, partying, spectator sports, secular Radio, secular TV, secular Newspapers, secular books, etc.You will limit yourself to the minimum needed for your basic functioning recognizing that IF you are truly Spirit Led Father will ensure that you receive the information that you need that is REALLY important.
- Goal Should be a High Throne
IF you REALLY take this seriously then your life goal should be a High Throne for Eternity as a Friend.
5.2. Seven Critical Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator
The Third Article above Relates to the Fact that “The Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with YOU”. This article addresses the measures you can take to draw close to the Almighty Creator, starting NOW! Read this as an introduction to the very detailed discussion at https://www.eti-ministries.org/seven-components-of-drawing-close
These steps apply whether you have previously believed or whether you have now chosen to believe for the first time – the emphasis will vary depending on where you are coming from.
The seven steps are:
1. Decision
Decide that the Creator exists and decide to seek a deep personal relationship with Him or, IF you already believe He exists, chose to seek a much DEEPER personal relationship with Him;
2. Prayer
Pray a range of prayers intended to enable you to get MUCH closer to the Creator and be led by Him in every possible way, prayers like “show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it” – prayers that are intended to enable you to walk directly with the Creator and NOT rely on other human beings;
3. Fasting
It is NOT possible to get really close to the Almighty without fasting, the detailed article contains basic guidelines on what to do and what to pray;
4.Cleansing
This earth is controlled by the Satanic Realm and Demons, when one first comes to the Almighty one is highly contaminated. The abovementioned article discusses at length what is required to get to a place where you can draw close to the Almighty and hear Him clearly;
5.Worship
Worship is vital in drawing close to the Almighty, a selection of highly effective worship songs that will help you on your journey is offered in the abovementioned article – see also https://www.eti-ministries.org/recommended-worship-songs;
6. Research
You are unique, your needs are unique, the value you can add to the Creator is unique, you need to investigate Him and His Kingdom for yourself and work with Him to craft your unique position in His service;
7. Action
Having done all the above it is now time for you to step out with the Almighty Creator and start being of service to Him and developing that deep personal relationship that you have chosen to pursue.
Each of these steps are discussed in detail in the abovementioned article. Growing close to the Almighty Creator is an iterative and progressive process of all of these points as you deal with your sin and come to a place of hearing Him more clearly and understanding Him and His goals for your life.
5.3. Critical Considerations in Being Led by Father Yah the Almighty Creator
- Father Yah WANTS to Lead You
Believe that Father Yah WANTS to Lead you and WILL lead you IF you ALLOW Him.
- Quality Decision
Take a QUALITY Decision to let Father Yah lead you.
- Ask Father Yah to Lead You
Ask Father Yah to Lead you, pray “Father, teach me to be led by Your Spirit every second of every day in every possible way”.
- Fast and Pray
Fast and Pray to learn how to be led by Father’s Spirit, see the article “Seven Components of Drawing Clear to the Almighty Creator” on the Website.
- Noticing – Listening
Start noticing – listening – He may speak to you audibly or in your heart – be attuned and IF you think He has spoken ACT in Emunah {Faith+} or if you are NOT sure then ask for confirmation.
- Noticing – Sensing
Start noticing and sensing – He may give you an impression that you should do something or say something, it may just well up inside you with NO audible voice.Be alert, and IF you think He is giving guidance Act in Emunah or if you are not sure then ask for confirmation.
- JUST DO IT!
If in doubt just DO IT!He understands your challenges and will forgive you IF you miss it.Just step out in Emunah and check-in with Him constantly.
- It WILL Take Time
It WILL take time but IF you keep at it it is possible to reach a point where you are led constantly and unconsciously at ALL times. This requires diligence, persistence, commitment and Emunah!
5.4. Critical Considerations in Hearing Father Yah the Almighty Creator
- Father Yah WANTS to Speak to You
Believe that Father Yah WANTS to Speak to YOU and WILL speak to you IF you ALLOW Him. In fact, He EARNESTLY DESIRES to speak to you.
- He Desires to Speak to You RIGHT NOW!
Yah WILL speak to you RIGHT NOW IF you ALLOW Him to.He Created us to be His Friends.The ONLY reason you cannot hear Him right now is because you have not trained yourself to hear Him and are probably contaminated with Demons and wrong beliefs.
- Cleansing and Fasting
Follow the Cleansing Process with Fasting set out in the document “Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator” on the Website.
- Still Small Voice
Generally Yah speaks with a “still small voice” – you need to learn to hear Him and you need to get rid of as much noise as possible as per the previous point.Then listen attentively.
- Answer Him
If you think that Yah has spoken then ANSWER HIM!He is NOT going to keep speaking to you if you do not respond, rather answer Him and be mistaken than NOT answer Him.If necessary ask for Confirmation.
- ACT
If you think He has told you to do something then ACT, DO IT!It is better to act and miss it than to be disobedient.He will cease speaking to you if you do NOT do what He asks you to do.Note that He may ask you to do things that are radically unconventional in terms of your current world-view.Even then JUST DO IT!
- Get on Your Knees
On your knees is the best position to hear Yah, particularly when you are just learning.By humbling yourself you hear more clearly.I still get on my knees just about every evening before I get into bed in order to put myself in a position to hear if there is something that He wants to say to me that I have not been hearing.
- Ongoing Conversation
It is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE to reach a point where you can hear Father Yah so clearly that you can engage in unrestricted dialogue.THIS is what He desires with every one of us!
