Welcome The Anointing!

The anointing is God's super on your natural. This is an old expression which states that God can make you naturally supernatural. Not only is this true, it should be perfectly normal for Christians to experience. Yet, the supernatural is looked at with skepticism. Many in the church have opted out of the supernatural for the superficial. We want eloquence instead of the anointing The Lord had a unique plan in mind when He sent the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The plan is simple. It is to make you a bold witness to the light of God through Jesus Christ. He wants to give you an anointing that will make you an undeniable, verifiable, witness to resurrection of Jesus Christ. He wants to anoint your voice to speak powerful truth to power; he wants to anoint your feet to share the good news about Jesus to hurting people; He wants to anoint your ears to hear with compassion. The anointing is God's power on your life. You are simply the vessel and the Spirit is the content that fills the vessel. So welcome the anointing. Ask God to anoint your hands, feet, ears, legs, mouth, and arms to be His body in the earth.  This is a prayer request that I think heaven would be eager to answer.

Holiness!

Holiness is the core of who God is. He lives in a self-imposed universe of righteousness. He can't sin, nor can He be approached by sin. The root of our transformation is holiness. When we become more like God and His Son Jesus Christ, we become more holy. Holiness is a righteousness bestowed upon sinful humanity through the blood of Jesus Christ to all who confess Jesus as Lord. Holiness is what separates sinners from saints. Holiness is first a position given to believers by God who has declared them holy. But holiness is also an action. It is action we take to intentionally walk in the light of truth according to the word of God. Fasting and praying should make us more holy and not less holy. If after an extended fast, someone is not more holy with their works and deeds, they didn't include fasting with prayer.

Get ready for FAVOR!

God is a rewarder! Get that! He is a rewarder for those who diligently seek Him. 21 days of fasting and praying is all about seeking God, not for what's in His hand. It should be about seeking to know Him more. More of God I seek, more of God I get! There is another level called NEXT in your pursuit of the righteousness of God through His Son Jesus Christ. The next level rewards you with the kind of freedom you would have never experienced before. If you struggle with anger, depression, fear, doubt, addiction, self discipline, and the list goes on, you must get to this level. It is not automatic. Fasting and praying puts you on the elevator to the next level. This is God's reward to you for seeking Him in obedience and faith. Everybody won't get to ride up the elevator. They are to comfortable on the ground floor. They will never get to experience the view in the penthouse of God's glory. Let's face it, some people settle for ordinary and others won't settle for anything less than extraordinary. Which ever one you are will  determine the kind of "FAVOR" that will surround your life. May I make a suggestion, press forward to win the prize for which Christ has called you. Everyone won't wear the crown, but you can!
