The giant that David had to face wasn’t Goliath; the giant that he had to defeat was David.  THe anointing of David let not to a throne but to a life of pain and brokenness.  David was enrolled not into the lineage of royalty, but into th school of brokenness.  God is looking for people willing to live in pain.   Is the person in authority over you right? are they pure?  are they anointed by God?  Remember you only know the question, not the answer.  David would have grown up to become Saul II except God cut away the Saul in Davids heart.  David lived a life of pain, but he became the greatest hymn writer and greatest mender of broken hearts that the world shall ever know.  By earthly measures David was a shattered man, by heavens measures a broken one.

Recipe For Anointing Oil December 15, 2007

Filed under: Anointing, Brokenness, God's Provision — Summer Hardy @ 2:50 pm

God is in control of our lives and will not allow external circumstances thwart his ultimate will for our lives.  He will never allow a rial too great or a trial with no way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13)  Sinful men caused Joseph to become a slave and ultimately a prisoner in a foreign land, but God used those very circumstances to exalt Joseph and to deliver his family from famine. All of life’s experiences taken together mold our character make us what we are, and bring us to where we are. Exodus 30:22-26 Recipe for anointing oil.  There was nothing special about the individual spices, but when they were mixed together under the direction and obedience of God it created a holy anointing oil.  All of life’s situations  though by themselves don’t make sense, but when mixed together they create a sweet anointing before the Lord.

Your pain is your gain, you can’t hurt dead people

 

Pain, Sacrifice and Suffering December 15, 2007

When God allows pain, sacrifice and suffering to touch our lives, once the cloud of these situations has lifted God replaces the pain with anointing.

 

Brokenness December 15, 2007

Filed under: Anointing, Brokenness, Prayer and Fasting — Summer Hardy @ 1:56 pm

Brokenness is when 3 hours of prayer isn’t enough, Brokenness is when 14 days of fasting isn’t enough.  Brokenness is a prerequisite to an anointed ministry.  Before the anointing oil could flow out of Mary’s alabaster box it had to be broken.  Before God’s anointing can flow through you, you must first be broken.  It’s not about how much anointing you have, it’s about how much anointing you allow to flow through you.
