I have had to work hard to believe I could make a difference in the world. When I was younger I could see no farther into the future than what seemed logical and reasonable, and definitely no farther than my low self-esteem could fathom, which was not very far. I think many of us come from families with a survival mentality who functioned with a series of knee-jerk reactions. When one is merely surviving there is little capacity to help inspire a child to believe they are someone with a destiny and purpose.
New Ways Then I joined the Kingdom of Heaven and was told I could dream great dreams with God. I quickly learned that my old way of functioning would not create Godly results. God never meant for us to be strong and capable in our own limited strength, but only in partnering with Him. And He totally understands we need His help to learn how to do this.
The Power of the Anointing Like David of old, God has an anointing for each one of us to step into, where we will be doing things we could never imagine. David learned to worship God and fight the enemy out in the wilderness, but then the anointing came upon him. David the shepherd boy then single-handedly slew the Goliath that had all of Saul’s army trembling. It was what he was anointed to do; it was naturally supernatural for David to be a Worshiping Warrior King.
God will Teach You This anointing is an unction of power from God that flows with love and life and purpose to bring about transformation and a release of God’s Kingdom on earth. And He is ready to show you how He would flow through you, in whatever unique way you were designed. As we read in 1 Jn 2:27: The anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie; and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
You are an Anointed One! We were all born to be something beyond our natural ability, because of the life of Him who dwells in us. So remember, fellow Joint Heirs with Christ, and Carriers of the Anointed One: Now He who has established us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 2 Cor 1:21-22.
Love, Pastor Susan
