You Are Anointed

Open your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 10 and meet me at verse 27. Isaiah chapter 10 and meet me at verse 27. I want you to prepare your hearts today to receive the word from God so you can apply it to your life. Isaiah the prophet tells us in verse 27, It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck and the yoke will be destroyed. Somebody say destroyed because of the anointing. Somebody shout anointing.

Now that's not a shout. Somebody shout anointing. That's a little bit better, but I want you to shout anointing. There you go. The yoke will be destroyed. The burden will be removed because of the anointing. The enemy hates, I believe there are four words in scripture that Satan really, really hates. I think one of the words he hates is the word miracles. He despises miracles because one miracle is worth a thousand sermons.

I mean, when you see a miraculous move of God, it will change the way you think and imagine about God. I think another word that the enemy hates is the word tongues. When we talk about praying in tongues, speaking in tongues, and the impartation of the Holy Spirit, he really hates that. And next week is the day of Pentecost. We're going to get into the day of Pentecost when we receive the Holy Spirit. Another word I think the enemy despises is the word prosperity. Prosperity.

The enemy does not want you to prosper in any area of your life. Doesn't want you to advance, thrive, succeed, or excel in any area of your life. He despises the word prosperity. And I believe another word that the enemy hates is this word anointing. He despises this word anointing because this word anointing is what God uses to remove burdens and destroy yokes off of your life.

Now, a burden is something heavy, something weighty, something that you carry around that is causing you pain, something on your back that is weighing on you, something on your Your mind that is pressing on you could be a burden. And a yoke is something that's wrapped around your neck that is controlling you, something that is pressuring you, something that is very, very heavy that is causing you pain and tension and anxiety to occur in your life.

And the anointing in this passage of scripture is. Prophet Isaiah tells us the anointing is going to remove the burden and the anointing is going to destroy the yoke. And when that burden has been removed, you are lighter than you've ever been before. And when the burden has been destroyed, it means it can never come back together again. It is completely obliterated from your life.

And so it's the anointing, which is the empowerment of God. It is God's ability on your ability to get exceptional results in your life. If you are just plugging and plowing and struggling and just plotting along, then you are not operating in the anointing that God desires for you to have because the anointing will cause acceleration to take place in your life. Anointing will cause burdens to be removed off of your life. And the anointing will cause yokes to be destroyed off of your life.

And many times we don't ignite the anointing and operation in our life because we are just living day by day. But you have something more powerful than you even realize. You have the anointing operating in your life. You know things that other people don't know because of the anointing. You have abilities that other people don't have because of the anointing. You can accomplish things that other people can't accomplish.

It's because of the anointing. I remember several years ago, Jack Nicholson, he plays golf and he's just a Hall of Fame golf player and Tiger Woods was coming on the scene. Tiger Woods was winning at a young age, dominating the sport. And Jack Nicholson said about Tiger in the interview, he said, Tiger is operating on a level that I'm not familiar with. And when I heard him say that, I heard in my heart, we as believers should be operating on a level that the world is unfamiliar with.

And the reason we can operate on that type of level is because we possess the anointing on our life that's going to remove burdens and destroy yokes. Come on, somebody say amen. Amen. The anointing on your life is going to cause you to do great things. It's going to make hard things simple. It's going to cause things to slow down in your life and the anointing will also drive out pain and old injuries and disease and sickness off of your life. It's God's ability on your ability.

In Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says how God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing what? Good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. It's the the anointing that was on Jesus's life that caused him to go about doing good and eliminating, destroying the works of the devil. This anointing is on our life and the anointing is causing us to do some things that we are not even familiar with.

I've been thinking about you and the Lord's has been talking to me about this anointing, I think we're operating sometimes at a level below what we can operate with. And when we begin to tap into the anointing of God, begin to declare, I am anointed. Say, I am anointed. When you wake up in the morning, when you're going throughout your day, you begin to declare, I am anointed.

What does that mean? I have the power of God that's going to remove burdens and destroy yokes off of my life and not just my life, off of the lives of other people as well. When you step into the room, you are carrying the anointing with you in the room and that anointing is breaking barriers. That anointing is taking territory. That anointing is changing and rearranging things in your life. And more often than not, we don't know what we actually possess.

Many years ago, I was a very young man and somebody who was older and they were telling me that when I step into a room, the room changes. Now, I didn't think that was happening. I didn't realize that was happening, but they were like, you need to know what you carry. When you step into a room, the room changes.

Now, I didn't realize that. But when I started listening to those words and started tapping into what that person was saying and then started tapping into the anointing of God, I stopped acting silly and crazy. I stopped acting goofy and corny. I started realizing I'm walking with some power. And if my presence can change the room, then I am operating on a level that I'm not familiar with. But here's the key. You can operate on that level as well.

Because you have the anointing. When you come around, things should be changing. The devil should be running away from you. Sickness and disease should be fleeing from you. Oppression and depression should go from you because you walk in the anointing of God. Somebody shout, I'm anointed. Shout it like you mean it. I'm anointed. I'm anointed. And it's because God has placed his ability on your ability. You're not anointed because you look good. And you do look good. I must say, you look good.

You're not anointed because you smell good. And hopefully you smell good. I don't want to smell anything foul. Hopefully you smell good. You're not anointed because you got money in the savings account. That's not why you're anointed. it. You're anointed because God has placed his ability on your ability, and it's to remove burdens and destroy yokes off of your life.

I've been saying this quote for years. It's a guy by the name of Chip Brim says this quote, and I'm only giving him credit because I haven't said it in a long time, but I've been saying a long time when I heard him say it. He made a statement that I thought was really, really, really good. He says, I am anointed to do great things on the level that the world is unfamiliar with, all for the glory of God.

I thought that was really good. Say it after me. I am anointed to do great things on the level the world is unfamiliar with To the glory of God. Amen. I'm anointed. Shout, I'm anointed, Zabin. I'm anointed.

I'm anointed to do great things. Now, Isaiah chapter 10, verse 27 in the Passion Translation says it this way. He says, anointing upon you. There is a heavy anointing on you to do what you're called to do with ease. Now, I want you to get this because many of us are, we're struggling in some areas. And don't be ashamed. There's a lot going on. but I want you to recognize that there is an anointing on you that will cause you to do things with ease.

How are you able to get that done and not be freaked out by that? It's the anointing. It's the anointing. Tenel, you got a lot going on at work. How are you able to be so calm when we got all this going on? It's the anointing. It's the anointing. single mom, I'm raising a child by myself, and that's one of the hardest jobs ever is to be a single mom or a single dad. I'm raising a child or multiple children by myself. How can I do that? It's the anointing.

It's the anointing that's causing me to do things that are very difficult with ease. We have to recognize and realize that we operate in the anointing. And first John tells us when we know that we operate in anointing and we know that the anointing is on us and in us, we can know all things. There are some things that we can know that we don't realize we know it's because of the anointing. I've had people come to me and say, you're wise beyond your years.

How are you able to share some of this wisdom? It's not because I've got a bachelor's degree or a master's degree. It's the anointing. I can't take any credit for any of this. It's the anointing operating in and on my life that is helping you remove burdens and destroy it. Yo, somebody say, I am anointed. Now, I want you to see something here in Philippians chapter 4. Meet me at verse 13.

The Apostle Paul tells us this in Philippians chapter 4 verse 13 he says I can do all things, through Christ which strengtheneth me now read this with me read it like you mean it 1 2 3 ready read I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me read it one more time I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. Yes, you can. You can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth you. Now watch this. The first two words of this passage of Scripture really ignited

a fire on the inside of me. Paul says, I can. I can. I can. Somebody say, I can. I can. Say it again, I can. I can. We are so set up to a default mechanism that we think in terms of I can't. Even to the point we say it a lot, I can't. I can. And we think, I can't. I can't. Well, hey, brother, can you do this? Well, I can't do that. I can't. I can't. Well, can you accomplish this? Well, I can't do that. Well, can you help me with this? Well, I can't operate with a hammer.

Well, can you help me with this? Well, I can't. I don't have time. I can't, I can't, I can't. And our default mechanism is I can't, I can't, I can't. But Paul starts this verse off saying, I can. Somebody say, I can. I can. See, we think I can't operate as a single mother. I can't continue on in this marriage. I can't continue working at this job. I can't continue coming to church. I can't continue to pay these bills. I can't continue to operate and lead this business effectively.

I can't, I can't, I can't. But that is contrary to Scripture. And when you realize that the anointing is on your life, you're going to have to begin to realize, I can't. Say, I can. Say it again. I can. I can work out. Yeah, I can work out. I can forgive. Got quiet on that, but I can. I can forgive. I can pay these bills. I can continue to live and not die. I can fight the good fight of faith. I can prosper. I can walk in divine health. I can start this business.

Business I can meet a man or a woman come on somebody I can somebody say I can I can say it again I can and now the interesting thing that I thought was really cool the next word Paul says in this verse is I can do do is an action word which requires me to actually step out of my my comfort zone. And Paul says, I can do. I can do. I can do it. Say, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. What's the Lord laying on your heart? I can do it. I can do it. I can travel as a missionary.

I can do it. I can do it. I can do all things. I can. I can. I can do it. I know the enemy says you can't do it, but I can do it. Young people, I can keep my mouth closed while I'm in in class while the teacher's talking. I can do it. I'm anointed to act right in school. I can do it. I don't have to backtalk my parents. I can do it. I can do it.

I can do it. I can do it. One of the things my five-year-old says all the time, and I love it because it brings me back to a time. When we were all young and didn't allow this world to deceive us. But my five-year-old says this all the time. Daddy, I can do it. I could say, go out there and drive that tractor on the side of the road. And she'll be like, I can do it. She can do it. Go cook me a cheesecake. I can do it. I can do it.

Daddy, I can do it. I can do it. Let me help you. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. See, that's that young, innocent age that believes, I can do any and everything. But somewhere, somehow, we got to the point that we begin to realize whether someone told us this or whether we listen to the world or we listen to our own thoughts, and we begin to think, I can't do that. Well, you know, I was raised on the wrong side of the tracks. I can't do that.

Well, you know, I can't, you know, I just, I keep hearing this in my heart. You know, I can't swim. Yes, you can. I'm talking to myself on that one. Yes, you can. I can swim. I can't, well, you know, I'm too old now. I can't learn how to play the piano. I can't. Well, you know, I'm too old, you know. I'm too young. I can't do these things. Yes. And Paul, through his holy scriptures, is telling us, I can do. I can do these things. I can do it. I can.

I can fight the good fight of faith. I can battle this pain that's in my body. Several years ago, Stacey and I were talking about this, probably 10 years ago, I've told this story before, but I had an uncommon attack on my body. I went to the doctor every single day. I didn't know what was going on. My fever was like 103, 104 daily. We were going every day, and they were like, we don't know what's wrong. We don't know what's wrong.

And I was getting weaker and weaker and weaker. I was losing a pound a day, a pound a day. And I couldn't, at that point, Zaven was really young, and I couldn't pick him up. Physically, I didn't have the strength to pick him up. I couldn't really even open a water bottle top. I was getting really, really weak. I preached every Sunday, and Steve, Holly, used to come to my house, pick me up, carry me out of the bed, walk me down my steps, throw me in his truck, bring me to church.

I would sit down and preach, and then he would, you know, I was strong enough to kind of walk out. I didn't want y'all to see him carry me, you know. So I would walk out, and he would pick me up when I got outside and carry me to the truck, and I did that for weeks. And I remember one particular day, I was getting weak and weak and weak, and I started crying.

I said Lord what's going on you know I'm in pain I don't know if I could continue, I don't know and tears coming down my eyes and I heard the Lord say my people don't prepare for long battles. Teach my people to prepare for long battles. I heard that in my heart. My people don't prepare for long battles.

Teach my people to prepare for long battles. When I heard the Lord say that, I started changing my verbiage and saying, I can fight this thing for the rest of my life, and I will fight this thing. I'll fight, and I'll fight, and I'll fight. I'm anointed, and I'll fight. The Spirit of God is on me and in me, and I'll fight this thing, And I'll drive this thing out. If I've got to fight this thing the rest of my life, I'll fight it. It'll never defeat me. I'll fight this thing. I can.

I can fight this thing. I can fight. I can fight. 48 hours later, that thing was gone. Woke up one morning, and I jumped out the bed and started running around the house, up and down the steps. I couldn't believe it. I was like, glory to God, I'm free. It was gone. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. That was a long three weeks. It was three weeks. I lost 21 pounds in three weeks, and I wasn't exercising. And that was a long three weeks. But I started to remember what was on me.

The anointing is on me. Say, I'm anointed. Whatever is on you, the anointing will drive it out. You just have to activate the anointing, and the way you activate it, it's voice activated. I'm anointed. I'm feeling weak. I'm feeling a lot of pressure. I'm feeling overwhelmed. I got bills due. I've got kids. I have no help. No, I'm anointed. I'm anointed with burden-removing, yoke-destroying power. I'm anointed with the ability of God on my life. I'm anointed.

God is for me and who can be against me? I'm anointed. I can do all things. And that's the part that Paul tells us the next part. He says all things, which is everything. I can do all things. I can do everything. I've got too much on my plate. I'm anointed. I can do it all.

Footnote, if you ever have a lot on your plate, your to-do list is long, only think about one at a time. Just whatever the first one is, you just, you knock the first one out and you go to, don't think about all of them, just one at a time. And when you begin to focus your mind one at a time, you'll begin to see at the end of the day, I can do all these things. Matter of fact, I did at them all in Jesus. And how do you do all of this stuff? I can do all things.

When I was writing books, and I've actually written another book. I haven't published it. We haven't had it published. I'm still sitting on it. But it's about a book about going forward. It's encouraging you to go forward. But we'll release it here soon when the Lord tells me. But people ask me, how are you able to pastor a church and be a husband and be a father and travel here and speak other places? He says, how are you able to do all that? I don't know. I just know I'm anointed.

Are you listening to me? I don't think too much about all that. I just do it because I'm anointed to do what God's called me to do. You're anointed to be a father. You're anointed to be a mother. You're anointed to be single. You're anointed to be a teenager. You're anointed to be a young person. You're anointed to do these things. And you can do it to the best of your ability. And when your ability runs out, God's ability jumps in. Hallelujah. I thought I'd get a better amen than that.

I like what Paul says in 2 Corinthians. Remember he talked about the thorn in the flesh. He says, when I am weak, then I am strong. And so Paul tells us, I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. Put that on the screen, guys, if you don't mind. Philippians 3 in the King James. Once again, 4. I'm sorry, Philippians 4 and 13 in the King James. Watch this. I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.

Now, this is an interesting way to say it. A lot of translations says, I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. But the King James, I believe, is the most accurate translation because it says, I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. So if you look at this word Christ, and you can take that down, guys. If you look at this word Christ, it is not a name. Christ is actually a title.

Christ is actually a function. So Jesus Christ is not his first and last name, okay? Christ is a function, a title, and it means the anointed one. The anointed one, and it carries with it his anointing. And so Christ means the Messiah, but it also means the anointed one and his anointing. Another translation is the word appointed. Christ is the appointed one, but for this purpose, I want to focus in on he is the anointed one, and he has an anointing.

And the anointed one meaning he is the one who carries, burden-removing, yoke-destroying power, and it is an operation on his life, in his life, and for anyone else who will receive Christ Jesus. It's interesting that Christians, Christ is in the word Christian. Now, why is that? Because Christ means the anointed one. Christians are the anointed ones. Are you listening to me today? Satan is the anti-Christ. So he is opposed to the anointing.

Because he knows the anointing will drive out all of his evil schemes and plans.

Christians are ones that carry the power and anointing of God. And so when Paul says, I can do all things through Christ, through the anointed one and his anointing, and it says, which strengthens me. What is he talking about? He is talking about the anointing. I can do all things through the anointing of God, Christ Jesus. I can do all things because that anointing is an operation in my life. I can do all things because the anointing is working in my life.

I can do all things because there's an empowerment on my life to receive excellent and exceptional results. I can do these things because God anointed Christ and God anointed Devon. We live in a life, and life is hard. Life is difficult. If somebody tells you it's not, they're not living life. I don't know what they're doing. Life is hard. I talked to a guy one time before, and he said he and his wife had been married 15 years. And he said, and we have never had a crossword.

I said, you know what you just told me? I was friends enough to tell him this. I said, you just told me that y'all don't talk. And he was like, what? I said, you just told me you don't talk because if you talk, you're going to disagree about something. We are both, we're two individuals that were raised differently. We see things differently. We're male, we're female. We perceive, we feel things differently. One is emotional. One is analytical. There's going to be some differences.

So you've been married 15 years and y'all ain't never had a disagreement. Y'all are not talking. Okay. I don't know why I got off into that. Help me get back, Lord. Help me get back. You're going to disagree, but the anointing will help remove the burden and destroy the yoke. And Paul is telling us, it's the anointing by which I operate. Now, we should listen to this. Paul is saying, I'm not doing this on my own authority or in my own ability.

I'm doing all these things because God has anointed Christ and that anointing, the same anointing. The same anointing that was on Christ is on you and I. Listen to me, the exact same anointing. Christ didn't have a greater anointing. And I'll say this, when Christ walked the earth, Jesus himself walked the earth. He did everything on the earth as a man. Everything as a man to show you and I how to walk and live and dominate on this earth.

The only thing he did in his Godhead was get on the cross. Nobody else could do that for us and shed his blood. Nobody else's blood could do that. But when he walked the earth he did everything as a man anointed as a he wasn't a woman but as a woman anointed everything he did was because of the anointing that was on his life and he produced, exceptional results the exact same anointing that was on jesus is on you and i i want you to to realize this.

The Lord told me to emphasize this for you today. The anointing is on you right now. You may not feel it because it's not a feeling. The way it's activated is by voice and by action. You're going to have to declare, I am anointed. And then you're going to have to step out and do what God's called you to do as an anointed man or woman. Now, let's look at this in the New Living Translation, Philippians chapter 4, 13 in the New Living Translation.

I like what it says. It says, for I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength. I can do everything, not in my strength, but through the anointing. I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength. I want to talk about strength for a second. Strength is the opposite of the word weak, right? When we're weak, we're sad. When we're weak, we're down. When we're weak, we're lethargic. When we're weak, we're not doing anything worthwhile when we're weak.

But when we're strong, we are infused with power. When we're strong, we are empowered. When we're strong, we are infused with energy. Energy when we're strong we are powerful and so what paul is telling us here is i can do all things through the anointed one in his anointing which makes me powerful which makes me strong strong, which energizes me. Now, I want you to be mindful of this, and I have to do this a lot myself. There's a lot going on in our lives. We got a lot going on.

I mean, things are happening, and our bodies get tired. Right? Yes, in the natural, I want you to rest. But out of your mouth, I want you to stop communicating about how tired you are. And I want you to say what the word says, which says, I am strong. It says, let the weak say what? But too often, the weak are saying, I'm so tired. I'm so tired. So we're saying the opposite of what the word of God says about us. I'm tired. At the end of the day, how you doing? I am wiped out. I'm exhausted.

Oh, my gosh. Woo. Woo. I'm tired. But scripture says I can do all things through Christ who makes me weaker, who strengthens me, who energizes me. And your body is listening for what your mouth is saying. Your mouth is the control center of your life. I'm preaching better than y'all saying amen, but it's true. Your mouth is the control center of your life. Everything is listening to what your mouth will say about it.

And so you're, man, I'm wiped out. Yeah, you might feel that way, but what you say is, I can do all things. I am anointed. How you doing? I am anointed. It may sound weird to somebody, but it's the truth. It's what the scripture says. How you doing? I am strong. How you doing? I can do all things. I can handle it. I can do it. I am anointed. I can do what God's called me to do. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. Come on, somebody say, I can.

Now in the amplified translation I like where it says Philippians 4 13 in the amplified, it says I have strength watch this for all things in Christ in the anointed one and his anointing I have strength for all things who empowers me I am ready for anything now let's pause here for a second. Paul is saying here, I am ready for anything. Can you say that? Say that. I mean, some stuff might come your way this week. Let me hear you say it. Let me hear you say it.

You might get some bad news this week. Let me hear you. I am ready for anything. When you know that you're anointed, you can be ready for anything. thing. I hear the Lord saying this in my heart. Footnote here. I'll get back to this. Remind me to get back to this verse, okay? Because last time I detoured, I didn't know where I was going. All right, let me get back.

Stop fearing bad news. I'll tell you that right now. This is a command from God. Stop. I talked to somebody the other day. I ain't going to the doctor. Well, why yet? Well, I don't want to hear what the doctor have to say. Why? Ultimately, I fear bad news. I would rather hear the bad news and know how to position myself to fight it than to be stuck in uncertainty and unknown. know. Stop fearing bad news. Go on and get the news.

Get the news. I want to hear the news. What is it? No, and I'm not talking about CNN and NBC and ABC. Okay. I don't want to hear that news. Okay. I'm not talking about that news. Okay. I'm talking about news that needs to take place. I remember when Zai, and she's back from Italy, our precious Zai. Welcome back, Zai. I remember she was swimming. She was on the swim team and she wanted to quit the swim team. And I didn't want her to quit. And so I went to the coach.

I said, is I good at swimming? And the coach was like, well, you know, if you put in a lot of work. I said, listen, I don't want to hear all that. I just, I want to know, is she good? Well, you know, I just think that if, you know, if we keep coming and keep practicing. I said, coach, I'm not afraid of bad news. Can she make, can she get a scholarship swimming? Well, you just never know because you got. I said, Coach, now stop this. I need to hear the truth.

I don't fear bad news, okay? What is it? She said, no, she's not good enough to do it. I said, well, thank you for the truth. She'll finish this year out, and she'll be done. Amen. And she was excited to be done because she wanted to be done anyway. But embrace the bad news. Why? Because you're anointed. You are a walking solution. Did you hear what I said? You are a problem solver. One of the purposes for you to even be alive today is to solve the world's problems.

You are a Christian, an anointed one, removing burdens and destroying yokes. Some people ask, come on, somebody say amen. Now I remember where I'm going. Philippians 4.13, back to the Amplified Translation. Watch this. I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through him who infuses inner strength. Glory be to God. Inner strength into me. I am self-sufficient in the anointing's sufficiency.

Glory be to God. I am infused with inner strength. You can do it you can get the job done you can handle all of your responsibilities and you can do it with ease because of the anointing now let's go to Ephesians chapter 6 Ephesians and let's look at verse 10 watch this finally my brethren be strong.

In the Lord, not in yourself, in the Lord and in the power of his might. Say this out to me. I am strong. Now say it like I'm about to say it. You ready? I am strong. All right, say it this way. I am strong. Strong. So when you realize this, not I'm weak, not I'm tired, not I'm about to quit, not I'm about to give up, not I can't go on anymore, not I just, I'm about to lose my mind, I'm about to take my life, I'm about to give up on, no, no, no, you're none of that. You're strong.

You're infused with power. You're energized. You are the opposite of weak. I'm strong. Now watch it in the, is it the Passion Translation? Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10. What translation? Put the next. Oh, yeah, there it is. The Passion Translation. Watch this. Now, my beloved ones, I have saved these important truths for last. Be supernaturally infused with strength through your inner union with the Lord Jesus. Jesus stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and,

through you. Glory be to God. We're talking about what God says about you, not what Pookie and Ray Ray says about you. This is what God is saying. God saying that there is a force of his explosive power flowing in and through you. I'm telling you by the scriptures that you are more powerful than you even realize you are. You are more capable than you even realize. You are more efficient. You are more effective. You are more of a problem solver than you even realize.

I don't care what grandma said. I don't even care what your mom said about you. I know I talked to some people this week, and sometimes Mother's Day is really tough for a lot of people. A lot of people didn't have a good mom. I was talking to somebody that their mom used to tell them all the time, I wish I'd aborted you. Say it all the time to them. I wish I'd aborted you. Wish I'd aborted you. That's terrible. But you're strong. If you heard that, you're strong. Mama lied.

The word says you're strong. You are infused with power. You are capable. You are anointed. And God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Come on, somebody say, I'm strong. Somebody say, I'm anointed. Somebody say, I can. Do all things through the anointing. Which gives me strength. I'm strong. I'm strong. I'm strong. That's what should be in your vocabulary all week. I'm giving you something to say. This is a prophetic message for you. All week long, you need to be saying, I am strong.

I am strong. I can do it. I can handle it. I am strong. The anointing's on the inside of me. I am anointed. I am capable of removing burdens and destroying yokes. when you walk up to someone else and they tell you about a horrific problem going on in their life. Don't sit and say, girl, I wish there was something I can do. There is something I can do. I'm anointed. And I'm about to pray for you. And when I pray, something about to happen.

You got to get bored with this thing and know who you are in Christ. And say, I'm strong. Yeah, I'm strong. We about to pray. Go on, give me your hand. We in Walmart, don't matter. Come on, give me your hand. I am strong. Hallelujah. Matter of fact, I was in Walmart recently, glory be to God, and some lady that was behind the cash register, she said, she looked really, really sad. She looked really, really weak. I mean, really weak. And I said, what's going on with you? Tell me your story.

That's kind of one of my questions there. Tell me your story. She said, I'm just not doing well, and I got a headache, and I got a lot going on. I said, give me your hand. She reached her hand. I said, I'm about to pray. I ain't scared. I said, I'm about to pray. I said, that headache about to go because I'm anointed.

She looked at me, you are what? I said, I am anointed. Pray. She was like, pray, pray. Grabbed her hand. We right there in line, people behind us. In the name of Jesus. I didn't do no long prayer. I said, headache, leave now in Jesus' name. I let go of her hand. She said, the headache is gone. I said, why? I said, Jesus healed you. Hallelujah. Listen, the headache would have stayed there all day long until somebody anointed came along.

And you are the anointed ones. Are you listening to me today? Say amen to that. You are the anointed ones that are walking around carrying the answer to people's problems, removing their burdens, and destroying their yokes. Come on, somebody say amen. I went to Target recently. Recently and that lady lady. I was in a bad mood. I'll just be honest with you I didn't want to go to Target Stacy wanted me to go and I didn't want to go Okay, so that was honest.

I was already out and about and I was ready to come home And she said can you swing by Target? I didn't want to So I was in a bad mood. Okay, so I swung by Target I go in the lady was kind of acting the same way and she I said what's what's wrong with you? What's what's your story? Can I'm in a bad mood and she said, uh, she just kind of looked at me. I said hello What is your story? She kind of looked at me, and I said, what in the world?

Then she slid me a piece of paper. She says, I cannot talk. I can only hear. And here I am like, oh, my Lord, I acted a fool. I couldn't even pray for the lady because I felt so embarrassed. I said, I am so sorry, and I walked out.

See, this is how you got to watch how your attitude is because here you are anointing and then God brings someone for you to pray for and you act in the food and ain't gonna work if you act in the food like that come on somebody say man I couldn't even get myself to pray because I was yelling at the lady hello. Act in the food and here I am anointed with answers and solutions and problems.

That can be canceled in Jesus' name. But I'm acting like a jerk. I didn't mean to bring up a message, but that's where the Lord wants to go. Stop acting like a jerk. You're too anointed to be acting like a jerk. You're carrying solutions that people need, but if you act like a jerk, they're not going to receive it. And the power of God is not going to be operated in your life. Thank you for the enthusiastic amen over here. Thank you so much. Somebody say amen.

Amen. Stop acting like a jerk. You are anointed. You should be walking around, especially when you got a lot going on in your life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed in your life, that's the time to be looking to help somebody else. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I start calling and texting folks, nice stuff, just so I can bless them. You know, because I'm feeling overwhelmed in my life. How can I be a blessing to somebody else? because when you release the anointing on your life into other lives, it'll begin to operate in your life as well. Somebody say, I'm anointed to do great things that the world is not familiar with.

All for the glory of God. Stand to your feet. This is how you experience true life.
