MEMORISE
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. Luke 1:53
SCRIPTURE READING
Ezekiel 47:1-5
1 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.
Open Heaven Daily Devotional – 18 August 2025 – MESSAGE
For a few days now, I have been discussing being filled with the anointing. Today, I will discuss the degrees to which you can be filled with the anointing and how charged your spiritual battery can be. As Christians, we all have the Holy Spirit, but one fellow can be filled with the anointing to a higher degree than another. This is why different Christians have different levels of authority in the Spirit.
To fully understand how a Christian can be filled with more of the anointing than others, I’ll discuss demonic possession first because demons are spirits. In Mark 1:23- 24, the man Jesus found in the synagogue had only one unclean spirit – one demon is enough to cause so much havoc. In Luke 8:1-3, Mary Magdalene was said to have been delivered from seven demons; therefore, a man with one demon is possessed, and a fellow with seven is more possessed.
When you read Matthew 12:43-45, you will see that if someone has one demon to start with, he or she could end up with eight because Jesus said that if an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it goes about looking for where to rest. If it can’t find any, it will return to its former house; if it finds the place empty, it will invite seven other demons inside to live with it such that the state of the possessed person will become worse.
Also, when you read Mark 5:1-15, you will see the enormous capacity of the human soul to absorb spirits. The madman of Gadara had a legion of demons, which Bible scholars say is equivalent to as many as 6,000 demons. If a man can have 6,000 demons, then there is enough space in you to also absorb quite a lot of the anointing.
Today’s Bible reading shows us that it is possible for a Christian to go deeper and deeper in God. There is always more in God for those who remain spiritually hungry. For every thousand cubits travelled in the spirit, there is still a lot more distance that can be covered. For every spiritual height attained, there is still much more that can be attained. This is why you must remain hungry because God only fills and satisfies hungry people (Matthew 5:6, Isaiah 44:3). I pray that God will fill you with more and more of His anointing every day, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT:
No matter how much of the anointing you carry, you will always have room for more.

I Need Thee Every Hour
1.I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.

And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

Most Holy One;
Oh, make me thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
