He Has Your Anointing

Steeped in the Word

June 16, 2025 – 6/16/2025

6 – The Flesh of Man

16 – The Love of God

Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Romans 6:16 NLT

He Has Your Anointing\n

Spiritual envy has become a cancer in the American church. When we replace the command to \u201clove God and love people\u201d with \u201clove God, be righteous,\u201d we get ourselves into a whole mess of trouble.\n

Do not lose your mind trying to compare yourself and your Christian Walk to others! You will never be satisfied, and your envy will rip you, them, and the church apart! Righteousness is a cruel and destructive measuring stick the devil tricks us into using.\n

When you start comparing your victories, gifts, blessings, talents, relationships, and ministries against someone else, stop! Ask yourself this question: \u201cI know their glory, but do I know their story?\u201d Nobody gets great victory, faith, or blessings without going through their share of hell. If you want what they have, you have to pass through the same fires they did!\n

I once heard a preacher tell of a young man who followed him around. The young man watched and listened to everything he said. The preacher asked him why. \u201cI want your anointing,\u201d the young man said. So, the pastor put his hand on the boy\u2019s shoulder and began to pray.\n

\u201cLord, I pray this young man would be beaten up and ostracized as a child and would have to go to bed with a butcher knife for fear of his father. I pray that he will live in terrible poverty. I pray his family would think he was crazy and all his good friends would leave him because of the ministry. Lord, let him be constantly criticized and scrutinized by his congregation, and even his own wife, for what he does and how he does it. May he have church splits and backstabbing among his leadership team\u2026\u201d\n

The young man stopped him and asked, \u201cWhy would you pray such terrible things on me?\u201d The pastor answered, \u201cBecause you cannot have the anointing I have without going through the things I\u2019ve been through.\u201d\n

Don\u2019t wish for someone else\u2019s anointing. It will bring you shame and confusion because get this \u2013 it\u2019s not yours! You have your own anointing if you just seek it out.\n

","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">He Has Your Anointing

Spiritual envy has become a cancer in the American church. When we replace the command to “love God and love people” with “love God, be righteous,” we get ourselves into a whole mess of trouble.

Ask yourself this question: “I know their glory, but do I know their story?” Nobody gets great victory, faith, or blessings without going through their share of hell.

Don’t wish for someone else’s anointing. It will bring you shame and confusion because get this – it’s not yours! You have your own anointing if you just seek it out.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

The Lord saved me and has set me free. He has a wonderful plan and purpose for me. I focus on Him and let Him unfold all the details of His plan for me. I love my brothers and sisters of the faith and want to encourage them as they serve the ministry.
