Defeating A Counterfeit Anointing | Voice of God with Joseph Z

Today in the live prophetic broadcast, Joseph Z teaches us how to identify counterfeit anointing by outlining the characteristics of both false and genuine anointing. He references 1 John 2:27 to explain the true anointing, which teaches us all things, while also reminding us that anointings can be counterfeit. He clarifies that God's anointing acts as a marking or seal of approval on our lives, whereas a counterfeit anointing, according to James 3:15, is described as earthly, sensual, and demonic.  Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries  Joseph then discusses the concept of "strange fire," which refers to attempts to sustain a waning or removed anointing by mimicking the attributes of the authentic one. This phenomenon is also known as institutionalism, and anything an institution cannot control is often suppressed or persecuted. He cites Leviticus 6:12, and 10:1 to provide further insight into strange fire and false anointing. Additionally, Joseph references Acts 8:18 to highlight the traits of a false anointing, emphasizing that it seeks personal gain rather than the glorification of God. We will also learn that the intent of our hearts is a catalyst for a false anointing. In conclusion, he points out that God's Word reflects our true image in Christ, as shown in James 1:23-24.
