PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Come into my presence, and there I will anoint you and prepare you for service to fulfill all the things that are necessary for your spiritual growth. For, this anointing will bring favor, and I will open up access to places that you have not been able to enter into. The anointing will provide divine protection, release wisdom, and unlock sources and resources for healing, restoration, and quality of life.
For I desire to move you forward into new avenues of enlargement and advancement for kingdom victory, kingdom growth, and kingdom power. So prepare yourself for visitation, so that I may anoint you with my grace, my life, and my ability to go forth and accomplish the things that I now set before you. Do not allow the distractions of the past to keep you from where you need to be.
This is not a time for “self focus only” and “look what’s happening to me,” but look around you, and seek me, so that you may bring change not only on your path but to also assist others that need help along the way.
And as you do, you will not only overcome the things that are pressing upon you, but you will find peace and new creation life moving forth within you to walk you into new territory and open trails for my people to come to higher places in me.
In this month, you shall see breakthrough, if you don’t allow distractions and the old issues of the day to cloud your mind and keep you from hearing my instructions.
In this month, you will see wellspring of resources come forth as you press into my presence, for I will connect you to sources that will help you to make it through even the most difficult pathways.
In this month, I will anoint you and you will be able to do things that have previously been virtually impossible, because the anointing will set you apart and empower you to accomplish the task that I place before you. I will protect you by the very anointing that I am placing upon you.
This transformation will not come without its challenges, but because I have called it to be so, I will also equip you with what you need in this hour. Live your life in my name. Carry out its identification and others will see that it is not you, but Me, who gives you the ability to come forth in a new strength and new light.
I am building a people and cities that will follow me, and they will lead a defense against the enemy of this hour, and these cities will be covered with my anointing and prayer. The peace that brings victory in glory will be there. Many who are searching for truth and searching for answers shall run in and be safe. There will much deliverance in the midst of these places for great deceptions shall be uncovered and removed.
And great strength and purpose will arise out of the marketplace, and the merging of kingdom and business will take on a new form of Life. Kingdom Business will be the new order of the day, and you will see a gathering and connecting of people. For this will begin a new time for great entrepreneurs to bring forth significant kingdom finances and enterprise.
Prophetic Insights:
It is important to remember that we have no anointing except He anoints us. It doesn’t come from how well informed we are, what we know, who we know, and how many people gravitate to us.
The anointing comes directly from the Lord. Anointing is the power of God’s presence, and when we receive it, we receive the wisdom, the grace, and the ability to do what the Lord has called us to accomplish despite whatever obstacles we face. I like my husband’s definition: Miles says, “It is the spiritual oil of God. It always confirms and ratifies the word of God.”
The word anoint (masah) means in the Greek translation to smear or rub with oil or perfume for religious purposes. When one is anointed, they are set apart, empowered to accomplish His tasks, and the anointing protects you. Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. (Acts 10:38)
I began to think about the fact that nothing can be smeared or rubbed without applying pressure (even in its mildest form). So when the oil of God comes in contact with our persons---it can cause some reaction, irritation and even breaking of the strength that our flesh has been operating in—that is if our flesh has been in operation. This actually can be a great challenge in our spiritual growth and definitely gives meaning to the statement that Jesus is Lord over our lives. Is He? Will we let Him give us power to accomplish great things?
I believe that in this seventh month, God is saying to us that He has the answer for our future. The important thing is: Will we wait in Jerusalem until we receive power from on high? One thing is evident: we need yokes, strongholds, and obstacles broken, so that we may move forth to possess our land. It is only the anointing that can do that. The prophet Joel says that in these last days that The Lord would pour out His spirit upon all flesh. If there was ever a needed time, it is now.
Lord, I pray that you will send down your anointing upon us. And Lord release the wisdom and understanding to know what you have anointed us to do. And Lord guide us through every step of this process of renewal that our lives will go through because you have placed your anointing upon us. May we become more like you. We submit ourselves to you, O Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
