The Anointing You Already Carry


June 6,2026

One of the greatest challenges among believers is not the absence of God's power, but the failure to recognize and utilize the power He has already entrusted to them. It is one thing to be anointed; it is another thing entirely to know that you are anointed and to walk confidently in that reality.

Many Christians continually pray for more power and a greater anointing, yet when the Lord graciously releases it, they fail to put it to work. Like an unused muscle, neglected spiritual grace eventually loses its effectiveness in their lives. Then they return, seeking what they have already received but never exercised.

The Lord does not anoint His people merely for personal satisfaction, prestige, or self-promotion. Sadly, many seek power without understanding its purpose. Some desire it to fulfill personal ambitions, while others long for recognition among men. However, the true purpose of spiritual power is to glorify Christ and advance His kingdom.

The operation of God's power is unique in every believer. Just as the eye, the hand, and the foot perform different functions in the body, so the Lord distributes His grace and assignments according to His divine wisdom. The measure of your effectiveness is not determined by comparison with others but by your obedience to God's specific calling upon your life.

The secret of genuine spiritual power is found in a growing relationship with the Lord. Power flows from intimacy. The more closely we walk with Him, the more clearly we understand His heart and purposes.

Imagine if those crying out for power in prayer mountains, church auditoriums, and prayer gatherings across the world would sincerely commit themselves to God's purposes. Imagine if they resolved that once empowered, they would go wherever He sends them, proclaim the Gospel where Christ has not been preached, and serve faithfully without seeking personal glory. The harvest fields of the world would be flooded with the light of the Gospel.

May we cease merely asking for power and begin stewarding the grace already entrusted to us. The world is waiting for believers who will arise and use what God has placed in their hands.

Prayer:

Father, open our eyes to recognize the grace, gifts, and anointing You have already deposited within us. Deliver us from seeking power for selfish reasons and align our hearts with Your purposes. Grant us the courage to go where You send us and the wisdom to faithfully steward every gift You have entrusted to us. May Your will be accomplished through our lives for the glory of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I pray that your eyes will be opened to discern the mind of God, to understand where He is working, and to become a willing instrument for the fulfillment of His will on the earth.

No Room for Crawling: The Three Dimensions of Divine Progress

Image
November 2,2025 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) In the agenda of the Lord for His people, there is no room for crawling. Every believer is designed to be in motion — to advance, grow, and ascend in the divine order of grace. The least a believer can do is walk, for the life of the Spirit has no provision for stagnation. Those who wait upon the Lord are not only renewed but are divinely empowered to operate in three progressive realms of movement — mounting up, running, and walking. Each dimension carries a distinct purpose yet leads to one destination: fruitful and victorious living in Christ. 1. Mounting Up with Wings as Eagles — The Realm of Dominion Waiting on the Lord brings you to a realm of spiritual elevation. You rise above earthly limitations and ascend into your heavenly position in Christ Jesus, seated abov...

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer March 23,2025 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 6:5-15, Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer is one of the most essential modes of conversation between God and humanity, allowing us to express our hearts before our Maker. Prayer not only helps us navigate life's challenges but also empowers us to overcome spiritual battles. Unfortunately, many children of God struggle to engage in meaningful and effective prayer, leading to stagnancy in their spiritual journeys. While studying the Word, praising God, and giving tithes and offerings are all vital aspects of our spiritual lives, they cannot replace the importance of prayer. The Bible encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), emphasizing the need for continuous communication with God. Prayer should become as natural as breathing, for without it, we may have ideas and plans, but lack the power to implement them. Jesus taught us to prioritize pray...

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written March 19,2025 Matthew 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16, 9:1-6 In Matthew 10:1-42, Jesus commissions His twelve disciples, empowering them to cast out unclean spirits, heal sicknesses, and diseases. The Bible emphasizes that Jesus "called His twelve disciples to Himself" and gave them authority over darkness (Matthew 10:1). The naming of the disciples in verse 2 is not a coincidence; it signifies a divine roll call, ensuring that each one is mature, ready, and accountable for the assignment. Perhaps you have struggled to exercise your authority in Christ because you're unsure if your name is on the list. You may feel timid, afraid, or silent, wondering if you are truly called and empowered for the task. However, those who are sent out by Jesus have their names written, and the darkness recognizes and trembles at their authority. The story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-16 illustrates the impor...
