Strong's #5545: chrisma (pronounced khris'-mah) from 5548; an unguent or smearing, i.e. (figuratively) the special endowment ("chrism") of the Holy Spirit: anointing, unction.  

The word “charisma” does not seem to be in the Bible.. but I do believe the characteristics can be felt within its pages.

When I began to think about the word charisma, my initial thought was Jesus of course. But as I began to think of all the people that I felt had this extra pull on people’s souls... I began to see artists, politicians, activists.. kings, queens, even some with dark spirits have this charm ... And I do believe this list could go on and on. But we must remember when we examine the person with that “extra” we must also see the audience they attract and why? Is there a hidden agenda? Is it for a selfish motive? Or is it selfless? What is this special mojo that attracts others to follow, or to hang on to every word that spills from their lips? 

Is it looks? Is it wisdom? Is it power?  

Let’s investigate the characteristics that are tied to this word charisma,  and let’s see where this little journey of discovery might take us? 

Here is what I found: according to Forbes magazine these are seven traits that can be found in charismatic people. https://www.forbes.com/

•          Listen Actively

•          Speak Clearly

•          Smile from Within

•          Stand Up Tall

•          Spread Praise & Phrase

•          Remembers Names  

So my very first thought of Jesus was definitely on the right path! Jesus does possess all these traits... But He offers us so much more... His mojo has a divine connection... He wraps His charisma in the most amazing anointed love.  It flows from heaven above... This love has no price tag.. because it has already been paid from His unselfish heart... His only hidden agenda is to lovingly guide His children home... 

He is the complete package... He is perfection at its finest...He is the King of charisma and my heart. 

How does He do it?? He touches so many souls... His charisma is who He is and by the way, I can without a doubt state it’s timeless. 

It’s Him. It’s always Him. 

He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. John 12:45

I and the Father are one. John 10:30

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
