1. ANOINTING:

An anointing can be explained in some instances as a special or momentary Grace loosed upon someone. It's manifestation of The Spirit working through them.

For example, I was just in a place where The LORD often meets me and Revelation flowed freely after only a

2. tiny bit of worship. Actually it was only simple acknowledgement of His Goodness, Existence and Provision - Prov. 3:5-6.

I can access His Presence in that place and 'feel' His Power on me to receive the Revelation He desired to share with me at that time while in that place.

3. So, in familiar terms to spirit-filled Believers I would say:

His Presence is here or The Anointing is on me.

At that time, I was given Revelation or greater understanding about how to teach a Biblical concept that many struggle with b/c of being churched and not taught to

4. to build an intimate relationship with The Three. That Revelation is for a different time and thread, though.

In Isaiah 10:27 we read: yokes or burdens are destroyed because of The Anointing. The Spirit anoints as He wills anyone who makes themselves available to receive -

5. 1 Cor. 12:4. There is another activity that brings The Anointing or that special Grace upon me personally, and that is when I'm running or walking. It's what's called a motion anointing.

When I'm running Holy Spirit shows up and gives me great Revelation for yoke breaking.

6. Many of the spiritual growth courses I've taught have come from those conversations. Holy Spirit will speak and if I can, I stop and make a voice memo or write a note, if not He deposits it in my spirit (Ezekiel 3:3) and when I get home to debrief He unrolls it.

What I

7. notice about both of these activities is that I'm relaxed and at peace mentally. That's obviously a great conductor for Holy Spirit Power. That's why He tells us not to be anxious (Phil. 4:6) and to think on the right things (Phil. 4:8; Col. 3:2). He can't get through

8. business, stress, worry, etc. as He desires because it will most likely be a wrong filter for receiving what He has to give.

I say this based on past experience. I've worried and fretted over things and then when I finally calmed down and said I trust Him, deliverance came

9. soon after. This happened over the weekend. I was fezzed up for a couple hours about something that could potentially happen (the what if's get us too often) and then I finally surrendered and said: There's nothing I can do about this. This is what I need and You're up to bat.

10. And like The Boss and Loving Father and Deliverer and Provider that He is, He took care of me.

And now that I think back on this only 2-day old situation, I believe my whiny time is shortening. Finally. After all these years of His faithfulness.

I repent, Jesus. I truly

11. have enough testimonies to never doubt He'll be on time so there's no valid excuse for worrying. Especially about things I can't fix.

I bring that up because a life of rest releases The Anointing/Grace, too. I believe The LORD appreciates it when we agree with His Word that

12. He supplies all needs (Phil. 4:19) & that we expect via #faith for Him to manifest His Word. There's more to that stream of thought, but I'm gonna stop there.

If the enemy is trying to work against us, their yoke is broken when The Anointing comes. And it's not always felt.

13. I worked on a project last week that normally has a few hiccups somewhere between start to finish, but everything went smoothly. Everything. And I realized pretty quickly there was a special Grace for that project that day and it was good. I didn't feel anything & didn't

14. such an easy go of it, but it was smooth sailing all the way.

I did a similar project Monday 10/12/2020. It was normal, no special Grace or Anointing, two hiccups but completed.

Learn to recognize those times, places and activities when The Anointing becomes available and

15. and lean into them; as the saying goes.

Does The LORD speak to you clearly and often when you're driving? That's an activity of Anointing/Grace for you.

What about when you're in or near water? My mentor calls those folks 'water babies.' People who access Grace when

16. swimming, showering, etc.

I bet if you check your journal, if you journal, you'll find The LORD'S Presence meets with you consistently either at a place or doing an activity. It's gonna be something that brings you peace and clarity of mind and relaxation.
Keep a spiritual

17. eye out and take advantage of those opportunities.

Again I reference Colossians 3:2:
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Because if you sow to The Spirit, you'll reap of The Spirit life everlasting (Gal. 6:8).

I bless you in Jesus' Name. Amen.

END.
