A New Anointing

My pastor preached the other day on the anointing. He explained that it wasn't a feeling that comes over you as in a sudden chill. It's not a tangible thing.

God anoints people by using the skills and talents a person already has and makes use of them for His Kingdom purposes.

So whoever and whatever you are, is to be used for Him. He will infuse you with His Word to perform the actions necessary to help others escape from whatever has them in bondage.

He will refine you into a likeness of Jesus.

We are to take others to Jesus not to ourselves, for within our selves is nothing good. But Jesus is good.

Don't use the excuse that 'God made me this way'. That is truth but He loves you too much to leave you this way. Everyone needs to be changed into the likeness of Christ.

All of the trials, victories and waiting are a testimony to others. They are watching and waiting to see how you will handle situations. They will use your response to justify their own.


Rom 5:3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
Rom 5:4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
Rom 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

What's New?

Hi everyone!

Been busy, busy, busy and more busy.

The new building for our church is progressing wonderfully. God has certainly had His hand upon this move! We see His might daily.

My husband is progressing tremendously. There's no question about attending church every week. He is in the new believer's course and devouring his Bible from cover to cover.

He has only serious questions. Some I can answer, the other's I leave to P. Dann.

I can't wait to get to work in the morning, then I'm sad to leave, but happy to go home to my hubby, but then wait till sleep time to get refreshed to get up and go back to work! I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!

Couple of things, though.

Thank you, Karen for keeping me in your thoughts. When you thought of me the other day, I had to go in for another mammogram. Something about some cystic tissue they want to keep an eye on for 6 months. And before that the doctor's report showed some osteoporosis.

But that's not the truth! The Truth is Jesus Christ! 'By His stripes I am healed'! Hallelujah.

My work for the Lord is much too important to get bogged down by a little aging process. I trust in my God of heaven and earth to get me through to the other side. This is the time He has prepared me for and I will go through the fire unsinged.

NOW, I have a lovely new office and a wonderful boss to enjoy. God gives us the desires of our hearts and He's not an indian giver (who ever thought of that line?) to give us a gift and take it back.

Anyway, even if He does....HE IS STILL GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
