From the Pastor's Heart

 

         Have You Been Anointed Yet?

 

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me because the Lord has anointed me                               to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the                             brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from                 darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the                 day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for                   those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of               ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a           spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness a planting of the                                    Lord for the display of His splendor (that He may be glorified).

                                           (Isaiah 61: 1-3, NIV)

As we are being blessed and freshly anointed by His powerful outpouring and oil of the Holy Ghost in this endtime revival, we rejoice because we are being, transformed, reminded of our Covenant relationship with God, and re-educated of our rights and privileges in Christ.

Yes, it’s time to revisit the Will…the Word of God, to reclaim our God-given rights to rule and reign as kings and priests in the earth. It’s time to get connected and stay connected to the Vine, (John 15:1).  It is time to learn about the Kingdom of God, work in His Kingdom, for the laborers are few. It’s time to do the Word, and not hear it only. Finally, it’s time to put the devil in his lying place…under our feet, for we have been given authority to use His Matchless Name, and we have been anointed to win every battle like the anointed King of Israel, David, did! The question is–have you been anointed yet? If not, what are you waiting for?

Thank you, Charmaine, for letting God use you mightily with anointed messages from God as one of His chosen present day “mouthpieces” to herald the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ! We love you, and we are praying for you! Shalom

I’m too oiled to fail

I’m too oiled to fall

I’m too oiled to be small

I’m too oiled to be bound

I’m too oiled to fearI’m too oiled to faint

I’m too oiled to be caged

I’m too oiled to be stopped

He anoints me with oil

My cup runs over

He anoints you with oil

Your cup runs over
