THE BLESSING OF THE LORD ! If anyone would listen to Him and put their faith in His Anointing, THE BLESSING on Him will drive the curse out of their minds and bodies and fill them with life. Of course, you would have to put His Words in your mouth; then from there it gets in your heart. Jesus tells us a great truth as he was talking to the religious people of his day, it's found in (Matthew 12:33 through 37). "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt, and it's fruit corrupt; for the tree (the person) is known by its fruit. O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good thing ? (I tell you the truth you must be born again, that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.) For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy word thou shalt be condemned." The only thing that could stop THE BLESSING from flooring to them through Him was unbelief. The people of Nazareth found that out. Jesus was just as anointed there as He was everywhere else He preached. But instead of receiving the anointing by faith, the people in Nazareth said: "is not this the Carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon ? And are not his sisters here with us ? And they were all offended at him.... And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands on a few sick folks, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief (Mark 6:3--6). Let me remind you, unbelief is based upon what you believe, it is a form of disobedience ! Most Christians are under the impression that those people didn't believe in Jesus divinity or that they refused to believe He was the Son of God. But, according to the Bible, Jesus didn't tell them he was the Son of God. He told them, "The Spirit of The Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me...." (Luke 4:18). That's the message Jesus preached everywhere He went. In the places where the people believed it--- like the area of Capernaum----THE BLESSING flowed like a river. People would follow Him around for days listening to Him teach, and multitudes would get healed. Why do you suppose people follow Jesus and listened to Him: Because faith in God, comes by hearing and by hearing The Word of God (Romans 10:17). They would go without food for days just to be in His meetings; They were literally crucifying their flesh. If they were too hungry to make it home, Jesus would take a few loaves and fish, multiply them by releasing THE BLESSING and feed the whole crowd. In places like Nazareth, where people wouldn't believe, however, Jesus could do no mighty works (verse 5). He wanted to----but couldn't because unbelief which is a form of disobedience it slams the door on THE BLESSING. That is the exact same thing that is happening even as I speak; many precious people do not Take the Word of God seriously, but they will take the doctors report serious. DOMINIOM IN ACTION: The people in Nazareth not only refuse to believe Jesus was anointed, they got so mad at Him, they tried to push Him off a cliff. But, they couldn't do it because even as he was surrounded by doubters, He continued walking by faith in THE BLESSING as He always did. He kept believing it was on Him and expected it to function with every step He took in every word He spoke. As a result, those people couldn't lay a hand on Him. THE BLESSING operating on Him block Him from their sight and so, "passing through the midst of them [He] went his way." THE BLESSING worked like that for Jesus everywhere He went. His entire ministry was a manifestation of those first words God spoke over Adam: "Be fruitful, fill up the earth, have dominion and subdue it."
