"A Special Touch"

In Spirit-filled circles we hear the word, "anointing" almost non-stop. And, for the spirit-filled believer we know that the anointing is necessary for anything to be accomplished for the cause of Christ. As I travel, I have the wonderful opportunity of ministering in many different denominations. And, often after hearing me preach will ask, "what is that anointing that you talk about?" The anointing defined is simply, "God's special touch on one's life." Who qualifies for this anointing? Any born-again believer that is desiring to be used. God is never looking for ability, but rather, He is looking for a-v-a-i-l-i-b-i-l-i-t-y!! If you are available to God in prayer and study of the Word, seeking to know Him more, then you are making yourself available for Him. God sees our motives and He sees the desires of our heart. He knows above all if we truly want Him to use us for His Glory. That special touch, (anointing) comes down in and out of us to get a job done. The anointing is only given to "destroy yolks off peoples lives." With a true anointing, it's like a black and white photo being filled with color, and it comes alive. To me the anointing is like the first day of spring, when everything is waking up. It's like nothing else. If you are not sure about this anointing, this touch on your life, ask God to fill you with His anointing. For those of us in ministry, we are called to be a servant. In order to get that job done well, we need that supernatual touch upon our lives. The anointing demands attention, because the duel action of power that flows with it cannot be denied. For this new year we really need that anointing. For with the anointing we will see mighty things done for the cause of Christ. God Bless!
