Investing in the Anointing God Invested in You

• To 'invest' means to provide someone with a particular quality or attribute; to furnish with power and authority

• The 'anointing' is the presence and power of God manifested or seen; supernatural virtue and power.

• God has given us abilities and miraculous power that wrought mighty works from the hands of God.

• At the time of our spiritual rebirth, we are transformed by His anointing and equipped by the Holy Spirit. We are commissioned to do ministry and bring about the reconciliation of others so that there is hope.

• However, the well of your new birth should spring into a river of anointing, allowing us to be true witnesses for Christ - radical about our faith and sharing it with others.

• We are all conduits of the anointing. God wants to use you to cause His anointing to flow through the earth.

• Your divine experiences and your God-given gifts should help to transform someone else.

Ways to Invest in Your Personal Anointing

1. Be constant in prayer; stay purified.

2. Talk with the Holy Spirit: meditate on God's Word, ask Him to baptize you with the gift of tongues, listen to worship music.

3. Develop a hunger and thirst for God's anointing.

4. Yearn and cry out for more of God.
