The Anointing

Not to get too far off the subject, but just prior to this post you wrote that we are "called to be Bereans." Without disputing your understanding of whether we are all called to be Bereans or not, I am wondering where, given this claim, it can be found in Scripture that "the anointing and Presence of God" can be lost......"The anointing" is sometimes referred to as "dripping" or "pouring out" of the person/preacher/pastor to whom it has been imparted.

With regard to "the Presence of God." If it is as I understand it, the presence of God is His, "literal presence of Person in every aspect and degree, freely given without precondition," how is it that such can be removed?

First off, I don't know if Witness Lee ever taught, really taught on the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. My guess is he didn't, 'cause I never hear the saints in the LC talk about anything but 'the body'. I would be interested if he did.
So with that, I'm going to attempt to answer TLG's questions by giving everyone and anyone some insights on this subject. I'm not going to make it too long, and it will be in 3 sections too.

I pray my explanation will be ANOINTED...that we would all be blessed and receive a greater anointing on our lives.
-------------------------------------

3 Questions will be explored as I give an explanation on 'The ANOINTING'.

1) What is it?

2) How many anointings are there?

3) Can we lose the anointing?
