2-2 DIMENSIONS OF THE ANOINTING » The Second Dimension of the Anointing

Marilyn Keys
A believer can be gifted to flow in the second dimension, but not have developed the endurance of the first dimension. What are some of the fall out consequences of a believer who operates heavily in the second dimension, but lacks the strength and maintenance of the first dimension?
The Anointing of the Holy Ghost in the first dimension allows the believer to gain a relationship with the Father. We are able to commune with the Father by His Spirit. We are equipped to do the work of the Kingdom of God through the teachings of the Holy Ghost. This builds our character and allows us to look more like our Father and exhibit the character of Jesus. However, when we neglect our relationship and operate more in the gifting of second dimension anointing, we can lose our connection with the true vine and become weak in our walk. The gifts and calling are without repentance. However, they do not secure you a spot in heaven. In concentrating on the gifting one can begin to operate in that which God hates and that is pride/self-righteousness. Your ego can begin to rise up and try to overtake you. Humility is found in the first dimension because there is a thirst and hunger for righteousness. To learn of Him, His statutes, His ways which is a privilege. To have the endurance to continue the journey even when faced with opposition is the advantage of the first-dimension anointing. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The first dimension is so important because it is where we receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that works within us. The anointing first came when Jesus breathed on them and said, Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:22). Then the second anointing came upon them when the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost in the book of Acts. The believer will not be effective in the second dimension with the Holy Spirit leading and guiding.

Marilyn,
The first dimension is where the foundation is created and laid. It is important for us to spend time with the father so we can learn him and his ways. Once we learn the father, we understand when he is speaking or not. The Holy Spirit will lead us to all truth (John 16:13) so even if we miss it, the Holy spirit will bring it to our attention. It is so important for the Believer the rely on the Holy Spirit so we can stay in the ways of God.
