Impartation in Christ: Then The Lord came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again (Nu. 11:25). Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands (2Ti. 1:6). Life in Christ is a life of Impartation. Your Head, The Lord Jesus Christ, has imparted His gifts and callings upon you. You are filled with all His fullness, and you overflow with imparting ability. This is beautifully foreshadowed in the Impartation of Moses anointing upon the seventy elders. Moses anointing: Moses felt inadequate to bear all the burdens of the people. It was too heavy for him. In despair, he cried out to God when people complained. God in His mercy gave him seventy helpers to share his burden. He came down on the tabernacle to take the spirit of Moses and put it on the seventy elders. It is like lighting seventy candles with one candle. The very anointing Moses carried was distributed on the seventy without diminishing Moses anointing. In Christ, your divine Moses shared His anointing with you, the new creation. Your calling and gifting are an extension of Christ (Eph. 4:7). Christ was the fullness of God. When He ascended into the heavens, His mantle fell on His Body, the Church. You carry the same anointing He carried. Moses was frustrated and asked for helpers, but your Lord was never frustrated when He called you as His helper. He went to heaven victoriously so that you might carry on His mission and vision. You are Gods gift from the ascended Lord (Eph. 4:8; Ps. 68:18). The seventy elders had only the measure of Moses anointing, but you received anointing without measure from your Saviour (Jn. 3:34; 14:12; Col. 2:9-10)! Thank You, Lord, You do not give Your Spirit by measure (Jn. 3:34). Because I am in Christ.
