anointing: to set apart, to mark for a specific purpose
Physically that means something noticeable.
Spiritually it is God saying, “this is someone I am going to use!”
A Call leads to a Choice which can lead to a personal Anointing.
“You can’t earn God’s anointing. It’s something that He has freely given to us and it flows from within as we agree with the Holy Spirit.”
Justin Rizzo

THE IMPACT OF ANOINTING
– Anointing helps us perceive the will of God
– It is authority – His, not ours
– It will create great challenges, doors of opportunity
– It will draw people who are in need to you
– It is the conduit of God’s power through our lives to the needs around us
“Let us open our eyes unto the harvest but let’s also examine the wreckage!“
