FRESH ANOINTING

Main message: God is bringing a fresh anointing and a new season — both corporately for the church and individually for people who have faithfully sown — and the Holy Spirit empowers, comforts, and sometimes redirects (closing doors) as we step into that new beginning.

Key points:

• Psalm 92: the psalm is for the Sabbath (seventh) which ushers in the "eighth day" — a symbolic new beginning — and promises a fresh anointing for those who have faithfully sown and waited.
• Fresh anointing follows faithful labor: after planting, watering, and waiting, God honors the work with newly pressed oil (a new season of harvest).
• The anointing is both corporate and personal: the house/church is under a fresh anointing (leadership/seasonal transition was mentioned), and each person can receive an individual anointing for their next season.
• Psalm 133: the oil imagery — pouring from head down to the hem — shows the anointing flows and its greatest strength often arrives at our lowest points; the Holy Spirit comforts and empowers in weakness.
• Acts 16: the Holy Spirit not only empowers but can close doors; being Spirit-led means accepting both openings and closures. The sermon closes with a corporate plea, "Come Holy Spirit," asking for the Spirit's presence and power to fall.
