Part 1: Growth and Enlargement by Apostle Joshua Selman
Impartation is a very deep spiritual mystery that allows for graces and allows for possibilities to be transferred from carriers to those who desperately genuinely desire it.
The way God designed the system in this kingdom is that no matter how yielded you are, there are dimensions of graces that will not come by digging the well yourself.
Impartation is simply defined as a spiritual system by which graces and possibilities are transferred.
When God calls a man, God calls man to himself to:
- Know Him
- Learn of Him. Colossians 4:17 KJV
- Be with Him
In the process of that knowledge and that encounter, a mandate is derived from your encounter.
Your intimacy with God is greater to God than even your witness, it is from the strength of your knowing him that you become an effective witness
The confidence of knowing God is what keeps you in the midst of the storm while you go
When God gives you the mandate, he never sends you with a message alone, he never sends you with an assignment alone.
He makes sure that they have access to:
- The requisite Power. Luke 4:14 KJV
- The requisite Empowerment. Luke 24:49 KJV, Luke 1:35 KJV, Acts 2:1-2 KJV, Acts 2:41 KJV
- The requisite Engracing.
That will help them to fulfill that assignment
No empowered believer no matter how knowledgeable can be able to birth the purposes of God. It is important for believers to value the place of genuine authentic spiritual empowerment. There is no man that can birth the purposes of the kingdom without genuine consistent empowerment.
Why do we need Empowerment?
1. You cannot birth the purposes of God to his satisfaction in the strength of the flesh
The Holy Spirit is our helper.
The assignment of help is to:
- Make things possible
- Make things easy
2. We are not alone upon this Earth, there are demonical forces that have woven the agenda of darkness through the hearts of men and through systems and structures, with a singular mandate to thwart the excelling of the saints and the purposes of the kingdom. Psalm 66:3 KJV
Empowerment comes as a defense to keep you and to maintain you.
God does not send made men to men, he sends men who need to be made. Psalm 1:3 KJV
The Value of empowerment is when it comes upon a transformed mind
Pursuing empowerment without transformation will make you lose the potency of what that empowerment should bring. 2 Kings 4:3-7 KJV, 2 Corinthians 3:5 KJV
There are two principal reasons why people do not receive empowerment:
- Ignorance
- Pride
There are three platforms for accessing genuine spiritual empowerment:
- Direct Encounters with the Spirit of Power. Micah 3:8 KJV, 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Power is capacity to perform any divine task to God’s expectation. John 1:12 KJV
The greatest determinant to encounters with God is not prayer and fasting, it is the condition of your heart. 2 Chronicles 25:2 KJV - Through the Understanding of The Word, light from Scripture. Habakkuk 3:3-4 AMP, Acts 20:32 KJV, Ephesians 4:18 KJV
You need knowledge to have revelation. John 1:9 KJV, Psalm 27:1 KJV, Job 22:29 KJV, John 1:5 KJV - Impartation is power that is accessed through alignment with anointed vessels. Philippians 1:7 KJV
When God wants a people to experience a dimension of his empowerment, he does not start with a crowd, he starts with a man. When he finds that man he enters a covenant with that man, that covenant becomes a platform for transmuting that dimension of power or that possibility. Isaiah 9:8 KJV, Genesis 12:3 KJV, Galatians 3:29 KJV
Wisdom, discernment, and humility.
Condition for receiving from anointed vessels:
- Genuine non-pretentious Honor and Service. 2 Kings 3:11 KJV
You respect yourself but you cannot honor yourself, honor is conferred by one greater than you. Number 27:20 KJV
