God gives you Truth for yourself, not to apply to others. Truth only holds the power for freedom when it's acting on YOU. He gives us Truth because he is ever preparing His bride.

There's no such thing as being called by Jesus and without being called to a high calling... It's not for you though. It's for the profit of everybody else. The joy of participation, THAT's for you.

You are your own worst Pharisee. The message of the cross is this: if you bring your worst, and dare to meet Him in the scary, inward place, He will meet you there with compassion, kindness, and grace. Your anointing is in that place, and Jesus made it safe. Scripture this week: 1 Corinthians 1:18-23 Matthew 16:24, 11:28 John 7:37-39 Romans 2:25-29 John 4:6-24 Luke 11:37-52 1 John 3:2-3 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesus's ministry is your ministry. His anointing is your anointing. But His cross is NOT your cross. Accepting your own cross is the doorway to anointing... So what IS your cross??

There are levels to this faith thing. Our faith is deepened by hearing, and we hear by the Rhema word of God which speaks to the deepest longing of the human heart.

Our God is a consuming fire. As the people of the ACTUAL presence of God, we play with fire. When we pray for a greater anointing on His church, we should be EXPECTING fire. There are casualties. There are temptations to be distracted by the losses in those hard places, but we shouldn't mourn the effects of the Lord's fire. Scripture this week: Hebrews 12:25-29 1 Chronicles 24:1-3 Numbers 3:1-4 Leviticus 9:22-24, 10:1-7 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The only way we completely swing open the doors of anointing is to see His glory with such vivid clarity that everything else is irrelevant. We can't witness to people "on the other side" if we make enemies of them. Scripture this week: Galations 6:7-10 Exodus 33:12​-23 Numbers 6:22​ Matthew 5:1-10 Luke 18:1-8 Acts 9:1-9, 22:6-23:5, 26:1-18 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We seek a mysterious person, not a mysterious power. His presence is not a comforting, peaceful thing when we are not in submission to Him and His government. In the government of His kingdom, the way we transform into a place that can receive anointing is by choosing submission when He gives us the opportunity. Scripture this week: 1 Samuel 15:10​-28 Psalm 16:5-12 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Even Jesus needed anointing. What was His anointing? It's the same as yours: to preach the Gospel to the poor. What does that mean? Let's talk about it! Scripture this week: Acts 2:14​-16 Luke 4:16​-19 Isaiah 42:3 2 Corinthians 5:16​-19 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Your identity is rooted and grounded in His love because He IS love, and it is to the measure that you have revelation of the Father’s love for you that you are prepared to receive anointing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The anointing of God has gotten a bad rap because it's become a "super star" thing. But He never intended His anointing for super stars. We want the joy of participation in anointing. Scripture this week: 1 John 2:15-29 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
