The Double Portion Anointing

by: George Kirkpatrick

God has promised to pour out His Double Portion Anointing, the former and latter anointings together after two days.

• • "After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come to us as the rain, the latter and former rain unto the earth." Hosea 6: 2-3

These two days are the Church Age. As Jesus promised, He will be perfected in His saints on the Third Day when they are prepared to enter into His presence, Luke 13:32.
The prophet Joel declared the Double Portion anointing:

• • "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month." Joel 2:23

The former rain (Pentecost) was only poured out moderately. This is the firstfruit anointing, the earnest, (down payment)of our inheritance. But God's prophetic Word declares we will receive the early and latter rain together in the first month, or at the beginning of the New Day. The apostle James gave us this same hope:

• • "Be patent therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until He receive the early and latter rain." James 5:7

Our God has a harvest in the earth. He has had long patience for this harvest, but it cannot be harvested until it receives the early and latter rain God has promised.
Those who enter the hundred fold realm, the Holy of Holies, will have their Father's name in their foreheads. This is the seal of the living God, Revelation 7:2. Those who enter through the vail receive another anointing. Before Aaron, the High Priest, could enter through the vail:

• • "Moses poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him." Leviticus 8:12

It was necessary for Aaron to receive another anointing before he could enter into the Holy of Holies. This is the Double Portion anointing.

A Word For Those That Are Struggling

So many of you are struggling with things in your life. Have I allowed these struggles? Yea, I have, saith the Lord God. There is a strength and agility that comes as My people work through their struggles. It is like unto the butterfly that is still in the cocoon. As it matures there is a vigorous struggle to break free of the cocoon that encompasses it. Were it not for this struggle it would not have the strength in its body and its wings to fly when the cocoon burst open. It would be weak, crippled and would eventually die.

It is a part of the overcoming process that each of you must go through. I carefully watch over each one as you gain this much needed strength that comes forth from the struggle, and I gently whisper words of encouragement to assure you that I am still with you. I said that I would never leave you or forsake you, and in the midst of your struggles I make Myself known to you. I will speak to you through the voice of many waters ,yea even through My people, those that hear My Spirit and allow Him to speak through them to bring words of hope and encouragement.
