Last night, I was praying and The Lord spoke to me in my mind, "The Cost of the Anointing". It puzzled me. What is this about?
A couple of years ago, I did a series of teachings in our church called "Anycostal". We are Pentecostal (in our church, and even if you don't speak in tongues but believe in the reality of the Spirit of God and rely on the empowerment of the Spirit to live for God, I count you too), and the series was to teach in what it means to serve God at all costs, any cost at all. The urgency was that we are Pentecostal but are we anycostal. What is the cost of faith, following, fellowship and fruit?
So, when The Lord spoke to me last night, I thought, is his something you want me to teach?! No. It is something He wants me to learn. I thought, "look online." I did. And, within two minutes I found this video. This morning, I found this thread, and I've watched it.
Oh, brothers and sisters. Pray for me. Pray for my wife. For our daughter. I'm remaining home this morning to seek God. We want, but moreover we must have and cannot live without, the anointing of God. It is costly. Oh, that we will pay the price. That we will buy for ourselves gold refined in the fire. That we will be used of of our Lord.
