Our Guest Jerame Nelson
JERAME: And so the Lord at that point begin to speak to me and He said this. He said: I want the Church to begin to discover the power of intimacy with the Holy Ghost. And so the Lord begin to speak to me about the presence of God that dwells upon and the Person that is within. See there’s a big difference! We got to understand the two. Some people they just receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and that’s it. You know they speak in tongues and they never ever get into the glory of God. They never get into the manifest presence of God. Spending time with Him to the point where He rubs off on them and then they begin to carry an anointing! And so there’s a big difference between the Person of the Holy Spirit on the inside and the anointing of God that rests on the outside!
AUDIENCE: Amen!
JERAME: And so the Lord told me He said I want you to teach the difference. Jesus said in John 14, He said this. He said the Holy Spirit will dwell within you and He’ll be upon you. You know 1st John 2:20 He says: As for you, you know all things because of the anointing that’s on your life. How many of you know that the term anointing is different from the term that Jesus said? Jesus said I will send Him to you, talking about the Holy Spirit. Now listen! Why do we need the Holy Spirit? Because the Holy Spirit will not speak on His own accord. The Bible tells us that He’ll speak only that which the Father speaks. It says that He’ll convict the world of their sin and He’ll prove Jesus and His power to the world around so that people will get saved! First Corinthians the 2nd chapter. It says: I come not with eloquence of speech or superior wisdom but with a demonstration of the Holy Ghost and power that your faith might not rely on a man but in God. And I read that and I went Yes, Lord! We need more power! And He said wrong answer!
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]
JERAME: And I went what? And He said read it again. It says I come not with eloquence of speech or superior wisdom but with a demonstration of the Holy Spirit – and He said Stop! And I went what? He goes you don’t need more power. You need more Holy Spirit!
AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]
JERAME: And the Lord began to speak and He said this. He said: What I’m releasing in this season is the presence upon! It’s the presence upon! He said a lot of people have the Holy Spirit within but they haven’t learned how to activate the Presence upon! And so the Presence upon is the anointing. That’s literally what it means when John said: As for you, you know all things because you have an anointing from God. The word anointing means this: charisma. Charisma means what? The personality of God! And so literally what it’s saying is this. It’s that God wants to get you so close to Him that He begins to rub off on you!
AUDIENCE: Amen! Hallelujah!
JERAME: That His personality begins to rub off in your life.
AUDIENCE: Hallelujah!
JERAME: See so what that means is this. Is if you’re fearful and He rubs off on you He destroys fear and you become bold! What that means is that if you’re sick and He begins to rub Himself off on you that anointing of God comes. He removes, He breaks the yoke! How many of you know that you know Isaiah 10 it tell us it says the anointing oil breaks the yoke. See God is about to set a whole generation free from drugs and alcohol pornography, from demonic things, from witchcraft.
AUDIENCE: [APPLAUSE]
JERAME: And it’s not this seeker-sensitive you know version of Christianity where you barely get your toe in the water and we don’t want to offend anybody. Listen! You know on the day of Pentecost when the glory of God hit and they got filled they were being accused of what? Being drunk at 9 in the morning! One of the things we got to learn if we want to be used by God we got to lose our dignity. We got to lose our, we got to stop trying to dignify the process of God touching His people because here’s the thing. You’re no good to God unless you’re on fire!
AUDIENCE: Yes! Yes!
JERAME: You’re no good to Him unless you’re on fire! And the Holy Spirit is the one who brings fire!
AUDIENCE: Amen! Yes!
JERAME: And when you begin to get into His presence and you begin to recognize that He’s in you for a purpose because He wants to rub off on you so He can be upon you now that makes spending time with the Holy Spirit way more valuable and it brings the purpose out of why God gave Him to you! He didn’t just give Him to you to comfort you. He gave Him to you so that you would know God more! And not only would you know God more but you’ll be anointed for the purpose that He’s called you to! And how many of you know that we can’t do anything outside of God? I mean you got to understand something. If you can do it out of your own strength, it aren’t God! And I’ll tell you why? Because when it’s God is something that’s impossible to you!
AUDIENCE: Amen!
JERAME: See it wouldn’t bring God much glory if you could pull it off yourself. But the things that are impossible God pulls off for you because why? He wants to look good!
AUDIENCE: Amen! [LAUGHTER]
JERAME: And I’ll tell you what. I don’t care who you are or what you’re called to. If you’re called to business you can develop a business anointing. If you’re called to music or entertainment or worship God wants to give you creativity. If you’re called to evangelism, you’re called to preach the Gospel, if you’re called to ministry listen, you can do it out of you know the gifting and you can do it out of principles but when the anointing of God starts to flow everybody knows it! I remember I was preparing one night for the outpouring and I usually drive down the street. And I get in my car and I worship and the reason why is we got this demon called traffic in Southern California
.
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]
JERAME: And so I go early and so I can avoid the traffic. So I’m in my car worshipping the Lord and I’m praising about 30 minutes in and all of a sudden I get a knock on my window and I look over and I go, and a guy’s there and I roll down my window and the guy says oh, I’m so sorry. Jerame Nelson, like I didn’t know that you were praying here. I just can’t find the church and when the window rolls down the glory of God goes out the window and knocks him out in the power.
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]
JERAME: He falls in the middle of the road and I’m going, I’m looking, going whoa and a police officer pulls up. Now I’m going uh-oh! [laughs] And now I’m like yelling out the window going get up, man! The police are here!
AUDIENCE: [MORE LAUGHTER]
JERAME: And so the guy gets up and he tries to hold it together and when he gets up he’s like HA! And so I’m thinking in my head okay, this guy thinks we’re crazy. I’m thinking like they’re going to taser him.
AUDIENCE: [MORE LAUGHTER]
JERAME: And, and, and so, so the police officer rolls his window down and goes what are you guys doing? Why is he laid out in the middle of the street? And so I’m trying to think what do I tell him? And the guy goes JESUS!!
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHING AND CLAPPING]
JERAME: And you know what? The police officer shocked me. He goes what do you mean Jesus? I said oh, we’re hosting the revival down the street here. The fire and glory outpouring. And I said you know I’m the preacher. I’m getting ready. And he says really? My elbow’s messed up. Can your God heal it?
AUDIENCE: Oh, wow!
JERAME: That’s what he says in the window. And so I just said Yeah. In the name of Jesus be healed! And the guy goes oh my gosh. It’s better! And then I thought we got to get him saved so I said Hey. Get out of your car. And he went [screeching tire sound] and took off!
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHING]
JERAME: He took off. But you know what? It was a seed that was planted. But you know what I learned that day?
AUDIENCE: Yeah, yeah.
JERAME: Is that my spending time with God was causing something tangible to happen to the fact where someone knocked on my window and got knocked out in the power of God.
AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]
