Hi Listener,
The life of anointed is not an easy one, especially if they stay faithful. They are the prime target of Satan. He does everything possible to prevent them become worthy of the kingdom. Because when the full number is collected, it means troubles for him.
Romans 8:16 confirms the difficult and often painful life of the anointed: If, then, we are children, we are also heirs: heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ, provided we suffer together that we may also be glorified together.
I would shortly describe how the anointed know they have got anointed: They start to feel like they are anointed. Every time they encounter something about anointing or the kingdom of God, the spirit urges them think, this applies to me.
17 However, if some of the branches were broken off but you, although being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer of the olive’s root of fatness, 18 do not be exulting over the branches. If, though, you are exulting over them, it is not you that bear the root, but the root [bears] you. 19 You will say, then: “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 All right! For [their] lack of faith they were broken off, but you are standing by faith. Quit having lofty ideas, but be in fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 See, therefore, God’s kindness and severity. Toward those who fell there is severity, but toward you there is God’s kindness, provided you remain in his kindness; otherwise, you also will be lopped off. 23 They also, if they do not remain in their lack of faith, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree that is wild by nature and were grafted contrary to nature into the garden olive tree, how much rather will these who are natural be grafted into their own olive tree!
Here the grafting in to the olive tree means becoming one of the anointed.
