Living in the Goodness of God, Pt 10 - “How to Live an Anointed Life”

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Psalm 23:5

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ANOINTED by God?

When God’s Holy Spirit gives insight, ability, stamina, authority or protection that you don’t normally have in order to do a job that He has chosen you to do!

God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (GNT)

3.  God’s anointing makes difficult tasks easier.

With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20 (NCV)

 I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’ Hosea 10:12

You do not have because you do not ask God. James 4:2c (NIV)
