The anointing of God brings power! When God anoints someone, something significant is sure to happen in their life! The anointing of God is available, and he is looking for those he can trust to carry it. In the book of first Samuel, we read how the prophet Samuel was sent by God to anoint a new king over Israel. As the sons of Jesse passed before him, each one was rejected by God. After they had all passed before him, Samuel said, "Are these all the sons you have?" The father said, the youngest son is out in the field tending the sheep. The youngest son was David, the least likely of all the brothers to ever be chosen for something as significant as King. The probabilities were so against him that he was not even invited to this most important meeting. Oh but, "when others see an insignificant shepherd boy, God may see a king." The prophet ordered that David be brought from the field and when he saw him, he anointed him as King of Israel. 

1 Sam 16:13  So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed  him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the  LORD  came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.  

Are you someone who God can trust with his anointing? God is longing to touch a hurting world with his power, and he wants to use you! The secret to being one of whom God can trust with his power is to be one who has humbly received the love and grace of God. Remember, you cannot work it up – you must soak it up. 

2 Chron 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him

Yes, the Spirit of God is searching the whole earth looking for those who he can empower through his anointing! Determine today to humbly, like a child, receive the abundant provision God has granted us through Jesus Christ! This will be the preparation necessary to cause you to be one God can anoint. Oh yes – it’s power time! Why? Because...
