Good morning anointed ones!

THE ANOINTING OF GOD is a divine enabler ~ It is God’s supernatural ability added to our natural ability.  It gives us the ability to succeed in any challenge we face. Jesus said in John 16:33 (AMPC),

• I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence.  In the world  you [will] have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]!  For I have overcome the world.  [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you].

This is because THE ANOINTING OF GOD is an empowerment available to us to help us overcome every tribulation, test, trial, distress, frustration, and battle we face.  Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 6:12 to,

• Fight the good fight of faith…

As believers, we will fight many battles, but we will always win.  2 Corinthians 2:14 tells us this:

• Now thanks be to God Who ALWAYS leads us in triumph in Christ…

Battles are real, but our victories are more real.  1 John 5:4 says,

• For whatever is born of God overcomes the world.  And this is the VICTORY that has overcome the world – our faith.

Family, did you know that THANKSGIVING can be used as a weapon?  I do it all the time!

Whenever I am facing a challenge of any sort, I just start singing, praising, and thanking the Lord for His goodness.  Before long, I am so caught up in God, my joy returns, and I feel stronger than ever.  The Scripture says in Ephesians 4:27,

• Don’t give the devil a foothold.

Our victory is only guaranteed in Christ Jesus ~ the anointed One and His anointing.  Isaiah 10:27 says that,

• And is shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.  

Burdens are removed and yokes are destroyed because of the anointing.  We can do the impossible with the help of THE ANOINTING OF GOD.  However, it is important that we deal with those things that may grieve the Holy Spirit.

Family, heaven is calling us to go to a higher level of holiness. Holiness is being of one mind with God and the Scripture declares in Psalm 24:8,

• The Lord God is our might in battles.

I want to give you a 12 step plan to victory:

1. Believe the Bible ~ He authorized it and breathed on it.

2. Read and study (meditate on) the Word ~ Know God’s Word.

3. Renew your mind with the Word ~Exchange your thoughts for His thoughts found in His Word.

4. Honor the Word by making it the final authority in your life ~ Trouble in life should not weigh in heavier than the Word.

5. Set your mind on things above ~ The Lord, His Word, and His Kingdom.

6. Obey the Word ~ In doing so, you will stay connected to God.

7. Understand your covenant with God ~ It is an everlasting covenant.

8. Use your mouth as a weapon to launch covenant talk ~ Speak the Word of God.  

9. Labor to enter into His rest ~ Refuse to worry; have peace; keep your mind on the Word.

10. Walk by faith and not by sight ~ Refuse to be selfish and fearful.

11. Pray ~ Every failure in life is a prayer failure.  Pray and commune with God.  Stir up the spirit of might.

12. Do not quit ~ Be consistent and remain patient under trial.

Walking in His anointing,
