Morning Christian Words of Encouragement – “Are YOU 100% sure, that you are Saved and headed to Heaven when you die? Are you sure YOUR name IS written in the Heavenly “Book of Life?” Is there absolutely not a shadow of a doubt in your mind, that your Salvation is already secured and you’re just waiting on the good Lord to call you home to be with Him? If the answer is “No, Not Sure, I Think So, Maybe, or Probably, then you need to get busy right now working on fixing that. You need to be totally sure where your Soul will spend eternity!” And AMEN goes right here….

Thought For Today – “When You Have God’s Anointing Over Your Life…”
Good Wednesday morning peeps! “Happy Humpity Hump Day” to you! Are you having a great work week so far, I sure hope so? The weather is doing some back and forth on us isn’t it? I’m sure it is causing some people to become sick as a result of it. This morning as I was getting dressed for work, I was listening to Pastor Ron Carpenter’s message about “Get to the Things That are Great,” and as always, his messages really are very thought provoking. In his message, he talked about how we as human beings tend to search for things that we have lost, when God wants us to leave it lost. He made a statement also that really stuck with me: “While in seeking mode, searching for things we lost, we sometimes end up cleaning up our houses from all the clutter.” Now in his statement, he was speaking in analogies, with “house” really referring to our life. The clutter he spoke about, was all of those things that keep us distracted from God, and or our focus on being able to function properly. He also stated that God will sometime protect us from things we didn’t even know we needed protecting from. So with that being said, it is with that train of thought, or line of thinking, that it was placed on my heart today to talk about, “When Your Have God’s Anointing Over Your Life.” And AMEN goes right here!
Now, in order to totally and completely understand the concept of God’s “Anointing,” we first need to know what that is. The dictionary definition of “Anointing,” is as follows : “To set someone apart, to authorize and equip him or her for a task of Spiritual importance.” Jesus Christ is set apart by the work of the Holy Spirit. When you have this “anointing” over your life, it is also like a protective barrier surrounding your body. In some traditions in the Christian Faith, priests would rub holy oil upon someone to signify their status as being special in some way. Okay, Okay, Okay, now let me get back to how this all relates to my message today. Most people that know me, know that I am an open book. I probably divulge way more about myself that I should to some people. Because as the old saying goes, “people should have to earn the right to learn you’re your deepest darkest secrets. You should not be divulging that to just any and everybody.” Would you believe, that the true meaning of the word “Intimacy” has nothing to do with sex or physical touching? Real intimacy, is when you are totally and completely comfortable and trusting of someone, that you have no issue telling them anything about you, that you wouldn’t think twice. When you are “anointed” by God for whatever reason, He will lead and guide your footsteps. Now that doesn’t mean that you won’t experience some “storms” along the way. However, it does mean that those same storms that would take someone else out, you will walk right thru them and come out unscathed. God knows I’ve had my share of trials, tribulations, aka “storms” here lately in my life! The things that I have had to endure the past three years alone was enough to take the average man out! But God protected me from it all. And AMEN goes right here too!
One thing about having God’s “anointing” over your life, is you have things revealed to you that are dangerous situations for you. Red flags will pop up out of nowhere. It is up to you whether you take notice of those red flags and put on the brakes, or change the direction you are heading in. Some people are way too stubborn to change, after recognizing there are too many red flags popping up because they are suffering from tunnel vision. It is in those times, that God’s protection will cover you, but it is still very highly possible that you will have to endure some of the “storm’s” wrath due to your choices, not God’s. The children of Israel comes to mind, they endure so much heartache and pain, yet were considered to be “God’s Chosen People.” But it was due to their actions not God’s. When the Prodigals son left home with all of his inheritance to go out into the world, he had to have had God’s “anointing” covering him right? Adam and Eve also had God’s anointing covering them when they were first created and put in the Garden of Eden. Lot and his family also had God’s “anointing” covering them when He was destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, but it was Lot’s wife who looked back after specifically being told not to that resulted in her demise. She disobeyed a direct order from God, via one of the Angels and look at what happened to her? If you are a born again Christian, and you are focused on staying in good fellowship with God “most” of the time, I bet you could look back over your life and see where you had situations that you should have been taken out, but for some reason you survived, that was moments’ when you were covered by God’s “anointing.” People need to start praying for eyes and hearts of discernment, to be able to see dangerous, deadly, and life changing situations coming to your doorstep BEFORE you have dove into them head first not knowing what the future holds. Having God’s “anointing” over our lives is the best protection we as human beings, and especially Children of Christianity can have. Can I leave you with a question to ponder today if I may?
“Do YOU Have God’s Anointing Covering Your Life Right Now? Or are you totally and completely exposed?”
Can I Get An AMEN or two????
“Today, choose to “Ride or Die” with Jesus Christ. Afterall, Isn’t that exactly what He did for us on the Cross?”
