Anointed & Appointed

Isaiah 61:1-3

God has anointed His sons and daughters, His children, His church for a purpose.
God is a God of purpose. He does all things for a reason, He created all things for a purpose.
God anoints for a purpose and appoints for a reason.

Jesus was anointed for a purpose.
Jesus manifested for a reason - to destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8
That mission continues today through His church, His people, His children.

Jesus was appointed or sent for a purpose - to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim a new season, God's vengeance and to comfort the mourning.
He was appointed to give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
This appointment continues through God's people, His body.

Everyone who has a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is anointed and appointed for a purpose.
You have an assignment on this earth as a son/daughter of God.
The anointing equips you for your service to God and your relationship with Him.
The anointing also enables to function effectively through life.
The anointing in and upon your life also protects you. It forbids evil and the evil one from touching you.
Psalm 105:15

Anyone who is in Christ Jesus is anointed and appointed.
You are anointed for a specific assignment in this world and in the body of Christ.
You are also appointed to do the works of God, you are called unto greater works.
John 14:12

David the shepherd boy was anointed to be a king. He was also appointed to serve as a worshiper and a priest in the house of God.
Samson was anointed with the Spirit of might, he was also appointed to destroy the Philistines as a judge.

There is a connection between your anointing and your appointment.

The body of Christ is anointed with the Spirit of Christ in it's various gifts and dimensions  and we are appointed to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ on the earth.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
Ephesians 4:11

The anointing is for your effectiveness, spiritual office, and gifting while your appointment  is for your purpose and inheritance.
Acts 20:32
God's people are anointed and appointed.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
