Thanks for listening to 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.720 our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.240 If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.759 blessing and share it with a friend. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.800 We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:58.559 your life. Well, God bless you. It's always a joy 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.920 to come into your homes and if you're ever in 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.960 our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.600 part of one of our services. I promise you we'll 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.760 make you feel right at home. But thanks so much 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.480 for tuning in today, and thank you again for coming out. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.400 I like to start with something funny, and I heard 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.880 about these three men that were out in the wilderness. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.160 They came upon this violent, raging river. They needed to 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.119 get to the other side. The first man prayed, God, 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.359 please give me strength to make it across, and poof 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.239 God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.440 was able to swim across in two hours. Seeing this, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.160 the next man prayed, God, please give me strength and 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.640 the tools to make it across. Poof God gave him 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.440 a boat. He was able to row across in thirty minutes. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.520 The next man said, God, please give me the strength, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.160 the tools, and the intelligence to make it across, and 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.480 poof God turned him into a woman. She looked at 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.240 the map, hiked five minutes up the stream, and walked 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:01.440 across the bridge. Come on, like you mean it. This 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.960 is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.679 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.239 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.120 taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.320 is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.200 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.880 to talk to you today about how you are anointed. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.280 We don't have to go through life doing everything on 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.240 our own, trying to accomplish our dreams only in our 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.800 own ability, trying to overcome challenges in our own strength, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.920 our own intellect, our own hard work. We have an advantage. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.600 God has placed his anointing on you. The anointing is 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.920 a divine empowerment. It enables you to do what you 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.760 could not do on your own. It will cause you 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.160 to accomplish dreams even though you didn't have the talent. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:01.280 It will help you overcome obstacles that looked insurmountable. Isaiah said, 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:06.680 because of the anointing, the yoke is destroyed. A yoke 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.200 is anything that's holding you back. Addictions, bad habits, people 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.560 pushing you down, unfair situations. In the natural. You may 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.520 feel stuck. Thoughts will tell you, I'll just accept it, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.320 just learn to live with it. No, the anointing on 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.960 your life can break every yoke. The anointing is more 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.440 powerful than any addiction. It's stronger than any person trying 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.840 to push you down. It's greater than any injustice in 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.000 your own ability. You may not be able in your 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.840 own might, you may not have the strength. What I 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.520 want you to see is you're not on your own. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.440 The Most High God has anointed you. He has put 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.720 a power in you that cannot be defeated. It can 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.039 break every yoke. It can take you where you could 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.520 not go on your own. But here's the key. The 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.919 anointing doesn't do any good if you go around thinking, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.080 I'll never break this addiction. I can't raise these children. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.400 It's too much, Joel. I'm stuck in my career. I 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.400 never get any good breaks. When you think like that, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.760 you are making the anointing ineffective. You're taking away all 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.280 of your power. I've heard it said. The anointing to 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.040 us is like gasoline to a car. You can have 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:27.039 the most expensive car with a huge engine, beautiful exterior, 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.840 fine on the inside, but if you don't put gasoline 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.840 in it, it's not going to do much good. In 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.920 the same way, you've been made in the image of 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:41.240 Almighty God. You are full of incredible potential. You have 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.840 seeds of greatness, the fuel you need to release your 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:50.880 greatness to overcome obstacles, to accomplish dreams is the anointing 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.880 on your life. The anointing is only activated where there's faith. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.560 Instead of complaining about how it's not going to work out, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.000 how you'll never accomplish your dreams, turn that around and 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:09.440 start declaring, I am anointed, I am equipped, I am empowered, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.320 I am well able. When you have this attitude of faith, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.200 speaking words of victory, you are putting fuel in your car. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.359 You're stirring up your anointing. That's when you'll go places 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.120 that you couldn't go on your own. That's when you'll 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:30.520 see breakthroughs. Situations suddenly change in your favor. You may 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.760 work around people that are negative, hard to get along with. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.640 It's easy to think, ah, I can't stand going to work. 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.320 These people get on my nerves. That's draining your fuel. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.400 Your car is not going to run properly. God wouldn't 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.480 have you there if you couldn't handle it. Have a 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.760 new perspective. You've been anointed to work in that difficult environment. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.279 You're anointed to put up with cranky coworkers. You're anointed 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.560 to deal with a grouchy boss. Quit telling yourself how 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.840 difficult it is and start declaring, I am anointed. I'm 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.640 going to enjoy my job. I'm going to put a 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.559 smile on my face. I'm going to be good to people. 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.240 This is the day the Lord has made. I'm gonna 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.320 choose to be happy. When you do that, God will 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.280 fight your battles. God will move the wrong people out 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.800 of the way. He'll get you to where you're supposed 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.240 to be. Maybe you're raising a child that's difficult. It's 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.960 taken a lot of time and effort. You don't see 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.520 how you can keep doing it. You have to remind 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.160 yourself that you are anointed to raise your child. God 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.920 didn't just put you there and say, all right, good luck, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.600 you're on your own. Let's see what you can do now. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:45.440 He's already equipped you and empowered you for every situation. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.480 Stop talking about how hard it is and start declaring 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.560 I can do all things through Christ. I am strong 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.560 in the Lord. I'm well able to raise my children. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.360 You got to stir up the anointing. That's what keeps 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.040 you moving forward. Lord. Perhaps you're dealing with an illness. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.560 It hits you unexpectedly. You could be discouraged. Let it 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.760 overwhelm you, and I can't believe this is happening. Now 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.640 have a new perspective that sickness is not a surprise 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.120 to God. It didn't catch God off guard. He has 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.200 already anointed you. You have the strength you need. You 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:27.200 have the peace, the determination, the confidence. You're not lacking. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.600 You're anointed. The forces that are for you are greater 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.560 than the forces that are against you. In those difficult times, 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.040 you have to say, like Isaiah, the anointing on my 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.480 life is breaking every yoke. The anointing is greater than 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.480 this cancer. The anointing is greater than this depression. The 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.680 anointing is causing me to overcome. Every time you say 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.439 I am anointed, chains are broken. Fear has to leave, 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.920 depression has to go. Healing comes, strength comes, faith come. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.959 When David was a teenager, the prophet Samuel came to 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.160 his house and anointed him to be the next king 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.880 of Israel. Out of all of his older brothers, Samuel 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.360 picked out David poured the anointing oil on his head. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:19.360 What's interesting is after he anointed him, he sent David 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.240 back to the shepherd's fields to take care of the sheep. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.640 David lived as a shepherd for years, even though he 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.160 had a king's anointing. The scripture tells us to reign 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.360 in life as a king. Every one of you has 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.800 a king's anointing. You have a queen's anointing. Maybe not 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.160 to physically sit on a throne. This means to live 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.520 an abundant life, to accomplish your God given dreams, to 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.480 raise children that will be mighty in the land, to 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:55.520 leave your mark on this generation. But like David, even 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.880 though you've been anointed on the way to your destiny, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.240 there will be time of testing where you don't see 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.079 anything happening, times of waiting where you have to be 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.679 patient and keep doing the right things, Times where it 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.319 doesn't look like it's ever going to change. But you 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.160 have to stay in faith and keep believing. My time 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.960 is coming. God has spoken it over me. He's put 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.640 the promise in my heart. I may not see how 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.679 it can happen. The odds may be against me, but 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.320 I have a secret weapon. The anointing is on my life. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.480 If you will stay in faith and not get discouraged, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.640 not talk yourself out of it because it's not happening 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.800 on your timetable, God will get you to where you're 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.600 supposed to be. God knows what he's doing God hasn't 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.240 forgotten about you. You may think you don't have the skill, 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.400 the talent, the experience to accomplish what's in your heart, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.520 but that's okay. The anointing on your life will make 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.800 up for what you don't have. You can have less talent, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.959 but with the anointing you will go further than people 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.120 that have more talent. It is not just your intellect, 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.280 your expertise, your experience that determines how high you're going 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.880 to go. It's the fact that Almighty God is breathing 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.480 on your life. The anointing will cause you to accomplish 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.640 dreams you could never accomplish on your own. It will 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.640 propel you into your destiny. This is what happened to 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.960 a young lady in the scripture named Deborah. The Book 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.240 of Judges describes her as a mother in Israel. This 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.959 was significant. It was saying she wasn't working in the 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:42.000 corporate world. She didn't have an impressive position, title, influence, prestige. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.599 She wasn't necessarily super talented or highly educated. She was 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.520 a mother raising her children. And back in those days, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.160 women didn't have the leadership roles that they have today. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:59.040 They were seen as secondary. No influence. Deborah would have 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:03.199 been considered just a mother. Can I tell you you're 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.920 not just anything. You're a child of the most high God. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.640 People may try to dismiss you, discount you, push you down. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.439 You don't have the talent, the training, the position, the 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.400 title to come from the wrong family. What they can't 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.880 see is that God has put something on you that 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.400 supersedes all of that, something that causes you to break barriers, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:30.120 to excel, to accomplish dreams, to do what you could 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.440 not do. And it's good to have education, I'm all 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.880 for that, develop your talents, improve your skills. But you 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.079 are not limited to your own ability, your own education, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.400 your own intellect, your own experience that will take you 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.240 to a certain level. But to reach your highest potential, 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.000 you need the anointing on your life. You need God 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.040 to open doors that you could not open. You need 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.000 favor that you didn't have to work for good, breaks 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.520 that you didn't deserve, wisdom that you didn't learn in school. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.559 That's what the anointing does. It takes you where you 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.600 could not go on your own. And this mother, Deborah 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.000 was living in a city that was overcome with violence 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.000 and all kinds of Mayhem. The main roads had gotten 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.040 so bad you couldn't even travel on them. People were 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.080 constantly being attacked and robbed. No order, and it looked 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.920 like that's the way it would always be. But God 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.839 put a dream in Deborah's heart to do something about it. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.960 And she could have come up with plenty of excuses. God, 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.559 I'm a woman, nobody's gonna listen to me. I'm a 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.520 mother raising my child. I'm not in the government. I 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.640 don't have anybody backing me up, a police force, an army. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:46.640 No. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.640 Deborah understood this principle. She knew God had put something 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.400 on her that would cause her to excel. The scripture 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.599 says they're in judges that the highways were unoccupied. The 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:04.080 city was shutting down on until Deborah, a mother in Israel, arose. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.120 Deborah took a step of faith. Other people begin to 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:13.480 join in. Before long, order was restored. Everything had turned around. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.520 The city was calm and peaceful. How could this mother 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.520 affect the whole city? It was the anointing on her life. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.920 You are not limited by who you know, by how 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.640 influential you are, by how much income you have. There 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:34.840 is something that supersedes talent. Income experience. It's the anointing 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.200 God's placed on your life. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:36.880 Now. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.520 Quit making excuses as to what you can't do. Joel, 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.400 I'm just a mom. Listen, A mom with the anointing 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.960 is more powerful than a CEO without it. Well, Joel, 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.840 I'm just a student. I'm just a business person. I'm 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.440 just an accountant. I can't do anything great. Why not 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.840 Deborah a mother changed her whole city. I can tell 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.720 you firsthand. I'm not the most talented person. I don't 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.720 have the most experienced, the most training, the most education, 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.760 but I do have the anointing. When my father went 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.080 to be with the Lord back in nineteen ninety nine 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.560 and I stepped up to pastor the church I had 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.720 never ministered before, every voice told me, Joel, you are 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.360 not a minister. You can't get up there in front 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.720 of people. You're not gonna know what to say. Nobody's 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.440 gonna listen to you. Instead of dwelling on those thoughts, 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.080 I would go and look at myself in the mirror 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.520 and say, Joel, you are anointed. You're the man for 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.720 the job. This is your moment. You've been raised up 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.640 for such a time as this. What was I doing? 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.640 Adding fuel to my car. I was stirring up the anointing. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.640 There will always be negative voices to try to talk 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.920 you out of your dreams, try to convince you to 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.040 settle where you are. But let me encourage you. You're 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.040 the man for the job. You're the woman for the job. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.440 You've been raised up. You've got what it takes. You're qualified, 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:06.480 you're anointed, you're approved. You're talented enough, you're strong enough, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.480 you're experienced enough. You and God are a majority. Quit 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:17.120 discounting yourself, quit making excuses. If you will, start taking 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.960 steps of faith, doing what you can. God will do 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.480 what you can't. He'll bring the right people, he'll open 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.920 the right doors. He'll give you the wisdom, the creativity. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.080 He'll make it all come together. Now, don't settle for mediocrity. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.720 You were created for greatness. You have a king's anointing. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.000 You may be in the shepherd's fields right now. Feels 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.760 like you're doing something insignificant, But where you are is 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.280 not where you're staying. That's not permanent, that's temporary. You 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.360 are going to come out. You haven't reached your highest potential. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.800 You got to start talking to yourself the right way. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.720 I'm the man for the job. This is my moment. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.400 I've been raised up. I'm going to step into the 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.720 fullness of my destiny. See David spent years in the 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.840 shepherd's fields, but the key was he never forgot he 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.000 had a king's anointing. Would have been easy for him 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.359 to think, I must have heard Samuel wrong. I know 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.800 he anointed me, but I sure have him become the king. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.120 He must have missed it this time. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:18.879 Now. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.840 Every day he kept reminding himself, I am anointed, my 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.359 time is coming. I will make a difference with my life. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.600 What was he doing adding fuel to his car? Didn't 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.200 look like he was going anywhere. Looked like he was 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.840 just wasting his breath getting his hopes up. But God 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.119 sees what you're doing. Every day you live in faith 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.239 with expectancy, you are one day closer to seeing your 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.520 dreams come to pass. God knows when the right time is, 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.119 and if it hasn't happened yet, that means it's still 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.640 on the way. God is getting you prepared, You're growing, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:03.080 You're getting stronger. Sometimes God knows the blessing is going 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.960 to be so big we couldn't handle it if it 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.880 happened right now, So he's getting us matured. What God 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.880 has in your future is going to be greater than 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.080 anything you've seen in the past. Paul said it this way. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.960 Don't get tired of doing what's right in due season. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.720 You will reap if you don't give up. Your due 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:29.200 season is coming. You're going to step into that King's anointing, 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:34.320 that Queen's anointing. You're just getting started. God's dream for 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.639 your life is so much bigger than your own. If 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.440 he would have done it earlier, you wouldn't have been prepared. 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.840 Now is your time. You're about to step in to 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.480 what you are created to do. You're going to step 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.920 in to a new level of your destiny. And the 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.360 disappointments in the past, the delays, the setbacks, they were 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.400 all a part of the plan to get you prepared 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:03.040 for right now. Nothing was wasted. It strengthened you. You 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:08.359 developed trust, endurance, confidence. Now you're prepared for this time. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.959 You're on the runway about to take off. You're going 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:17.680 to see the exceeding greatness of God's favor. David was 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.359 out in the shepherd's fields and didn't look like anything 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.240 was happening, But he came into his due season King 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.200 Saul sent a message saying, send me David, who is 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.879 with the sheep. I need him in the palace. David 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.760 started working for Saul. That was another step on the 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.840 way to his destiny. He wasn't on the throne yet, 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.040 but at least he made it to the palace. Notice 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:46.440 this phrase, send David, who is with the sheep. You 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.040 may feel like you're with the sheep today. In other words, 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.960 you're in that shepherd's field. You're doing something that feels insignificant. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.800 You know you've got more in you, but you've been 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.400 in the background year after year. Don't get discouraged. Your 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.800 time is coming. You're not going to stay with the sheep. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.520 God's going to take you from the background to the foreground. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.080 You may be in the shepherd's fields, but don't put 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.760 your stakes down. Don't get comfortable there. You've got a 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.600 king's anointing. You are destined to do great things. The 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.160 palace is coming, Victory is coming, Promotion is coming. People 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.440 can't stop it. Bad breaks can't stop it, sickness can't 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:31.880 stop it. Almighty God has anointed you. What He's spoken 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.680 over your life will come to pass. I talked to 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.120 a single parent mother a few years ago, she told 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.680 how it was such a struggle to make ends meet. 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.399 She was having to work two jobs, long hours. She 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.280 felt badly she couldn't be there with her children. She 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.520 had no free time for herself to date or have 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.080 any kind of social life. And that's the way it 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:58.320 looked like it would always be. She was with the sheep, 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.720 so to speak. She was in the shop shepherd's fields, 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.720 and she could have gotten discouraged and settled there. But 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.920 she knew, deep down she had this Queen's anointing. She 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:14.560 knew she was made for more than just constantly struggling, enduring, 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.399 not heaven enough. She kept reminding herself that the anointing 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:24.920 can break any yoke. Listen, poverty, lack, barely getting by 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:29.200 is a yoke. Do not accept that as your destiny. 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.040 Jesus came that you might live an abundant life, that 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.640 we could be the head and not the tail. And yes, 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.400 we all go through dry seasons, but they are not permanent, 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.520 they are temporary. At some point, the drought will come 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.680 to an end and you will see an abundance of rain, 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.399 an abundance of favor. I like how David put it 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:56.600 in Psalm twenty three, He said, God anoints my head 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.560 with oil. He went on to say, because I'm anointed, 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:05.040 my cup runs over. When you walk in your anointing, 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.760 knowing who you are and who you are, at some 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.600 point your cup will run over. You will see God 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.119 pour out blessings that you cannot contain. Now, don't you 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.960 dare settle with the sheep in the shepherd's fields. The 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.560 palace is coming. One day, this couple that lived down 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.680 the street from her, She had only met them one time. 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.760 They invited her to their house for dinner. That night, 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.560 they handed her the keys to a brand new car 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.399 that they had bought for her. She was able to 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.639 sell her car, pay off most of her debts to 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.720 where she didn't have to work so much. Just recently 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.160 I learned she married this executive from a large company. 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.640 Now she and her children are no longer with the sheep. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:53.440 They're in the palace. God has blessed them, done exceedingly abundantly. 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:58.399 Above and beyond. The point is, you were not created 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:02.040 to barely get by, to take the leftovers to live 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.720 out in the shepherd's fields. You were created for victory, 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:10.359 for abundance, for the palace. The same God that increased 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:14.200 her can increase you. The anointing on your life will 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.800 cause people to be good to you. It will cause 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:18.920 you to be at the right place at the right time, 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:24.800 bring in favor, promotion, increase. David was in the palace 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.119 playing the harp for King Saul. It was a temporary position. 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.720 He wasn't supposed to be there long, but David was 0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:36.879 so good at what he did. King Saul created a 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:41.359 new position exclusively for David. He became an armor bearer. 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.840 If you'll be your best right where you are and 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.480 excel in what you do, the right doors will always 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.040 open for you. There may not be room for promotion 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.480 at your work as far as you can see right now, 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.600 but don't worry. Your gifts will make room for you. 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.080 If there's not a position, God can cause them to 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.400 create a new position. Some of you are part time. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.919 You're believing for more work. You need to get ready. 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.840 Like David, You're going to become full time. You pass 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.600 the test. You've been faithful in the shepherd's fields. You 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:18.520 knew you had more in you, but you didn't slack off. 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.600 You didn't complain. You stayed in faith, trusting God's timing. 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.120 Now your due season is come. You're going to step 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:30.000 into that king's anointing. What God promised you he will 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:33.960 bring to pass. Years later, King Saul was killed in 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.680 a battle. Now it was David's time. He was thirty 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.120 years old and about to take the throne. At this time, 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:46.359 Israel was divided into two kingdoms, Judah and Hebron. Second 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:50.200 Samuel too says the men of Judah came and anointed 0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:54.280 David king over Judah. He served there seven and a 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:58.320 half years. David brought the two kingdoms together. When he 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:02.080 was thirty seven years old. The men of Hebron joined 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.200 the men of Judah and they anointed David again to 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:09.600 be the king over all of Israel. What's interesting is 0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:13.160 David was anointed as a teenager to become the king. 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.080 When the men of Judah came to annoint him again, 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.440 he could have said, guys, I've already been anointed. No need. 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:21.720 It happened when I was a teenager. Samuel did it 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.040 seven and a half years later, when the men of 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.800 Hebron came to annoy him king over all of Israel, 0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.639 he could have said, this is not necessary. I was 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.280 anointed as a teenager. I was anointed when I'm thirty 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.440 years old, I don't need to be anointed again. No, 0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:41.480 David understood the importance of having a fresh anointing. You 0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:46.000 can't win today's battles on yesterday's anointing. You need to 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:50.320 have a fresh anointed. Too often we are trying to 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.400 do things in our own strength. It's a struggle. No promotion, 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:58.280 no increase. It's weighing us down. We don't realize. All 0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.040 we have to say is God, God, I need a 0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:05.200 fresh annointing. God fill me with new strength, new ideas, 0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:09.080 new creativity, new passion. When you do that, God will 0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:13.679 breathe freshness onto your life. The reason things get stale 0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:17.240 and we just endure our marriage, endure the job dragged 0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.399 through the day is we're not stirring up the anointing 0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:24.280 on a regular basis. We need to pray God, I 0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:28.120 need a fresh anointing in my marriage, a fresh anointing 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.879 on my career, a fresh annoying on my mind, my thoughts. 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:35.000 God help me to see things from the right perspective. 0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:39.560 If David would have taken the throne without the fresh anointing, 0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:42.680 he wouldn't have had the success and the favor that 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.520 he had. When you humble yourself and say, God, I 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.520 can't do this on my own. I need your help, 0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.680 I need your favor, I need your wisdom. God, I 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:56.640 need a fresh anointing. You're showing your dependency on him 0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.560 when you acknowledge God like that, He'll give your wisdom 0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:04.000 beyond your years. He'll help you accomplish things that you 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.600 could have never accomplished on your own. Whenever you start 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.440 a new job or even a new position, always ask 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.760 for that fresh anointing. Ladies, when you have a baby, 0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:17.920 God give me a fresh anointing to raise this child. Students, 0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.399 when you start a new class, God give me a 0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:24.600 fresh anointing for this semester. You're saying, God, I'm ready 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:30.399 for new opportunities, new abilities, new friendships, new ideas. Maybe 0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:34.800 you're facing a challenge today your health, your finances, or relationship. 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:38.000 Instead of complaining about it, why don't you say, God, 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.520 give me a fresh anointing to overcome this challenge. It's 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:46.840 the anointing that breaks the yoke. Just like the men 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.879 of Judah anointed David for his new season, I believe 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.760 today God is releasing a fresh anointing in your life. 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.240 You're going to go where you've never been. You're going 0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:02.600 to see negative situation turn around. Chains of addictions and 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:07.399 bad habits are being broken. Healing, promotion, restoration is coming. 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:11.320 You're going to step into the fullness of your destiny. Friends, 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:15.240 you have a king's annoying, a queen's annoying. Don't settle 0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:19.720 for mediocrity. Stir up the anointing every morning. Remind yourself, 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:23.840 I am anointed, I am equipped, I am empowered. Remember 0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:27.280 to always ask for that fresh annoying. If you do this, 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:31.119 I believe and declare, like David, you will make it 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:35.600 to your throne. You will defeat your giants, overcome your obstacles, 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:40.080 and become everything God's created you to be. In Jesus's name, 0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:42.760 if you receive it, can you save him in today? 0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.600 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.520 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:55.280 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:28:55.480 --> 0:29:00.480 repent of my sins. Come into my heart, Make him 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:04.680 my Lord and savior.
