How to Release Your Prophetic Anointing Everywhere
You Go
JAMES W. GOLL
Today
the Holy Spirit in all His fullness is being sent forth into the entire world
as believers who are filled with His Spirit release His prophetic anointing,
bringing impact and influence everywhere they go.
Jesus dispatched His disciples to “go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew
28:19) carrying the light of the world.
Great
Diversity of Prophetic Anointing
I
cannot emphasize enough how big God is.
We
see an almost bewildering variety of gifts, anointings, ministries, and
combinations across the Body of Christ.
Yet even with such diversity, everything is under the
governance of the same Lord: “There are diversities of gifts, but the same
Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are
diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all” (1 Corinthians 12:4–6, NKJV).
What
is an anointing, anyway?
I
define an anointing as the supernatural enablement, grace, and manifest
presence of the Holy Spirit operating upon or through an individual or group to
produce the works of Jesus.
Such
a supernatural enablement or grace brings the presence of the Holy Spirit to
bear upon countless situations.
Energized
by the same God and Father, prophetic believers bring forth a wide variety of
gifts, ministries, and effects — always under the direction of the Spirit of
the Lord God.
The
way the Holy Spirit manifests Himself will look different in its expression
from culture to culture, race to race, country to country, and from one
denomination to another. That is to be expected — and celebrated!
We
have a great big God who can reach into all of the hidden places, public and
private, with His love and power.
Our
part is to collaborate with Him.
We
hold on to the Lord Jesus, who Himself was anointed by His Father God, as we
operate under His anointing.
With Him, we continue His works: “You know of Jesus
of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how
He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for
God was with Him” (Acts 10:38).
“The
Anointing” is not some big, unattainable entity. It is something more like a
Play-Doh factory — at least that is the way I have come to see it.
Regardless
of the kind of person you are and whatever tools God has hidden within you, He
can mold and shape you for His divine purposes.
You
just have to make yourself available to Him and stay malleable.
You
see, as long as everything you do points back to Jesus and encourages others,
you do not have to get tied up in trying to figure out which prophetic
“category” you fall into. In all likelihood, it will keep changing anyway.
“The
prophetic” is just not as narrow a track as I used to think it was.
We’re
finally moving away from the idea that the prophetic is about “platform.”
Rather, it is about stewardship of what God has given each one of us.
Some
of us have been placed in the Church to minister mostly to the rest of the Body
of Christ. Others have been anointed as “sent ones” to reach into the secular
community outside the Church.
Carrying
the Prophetic EVERYWHERE!
In
the past few years, I have been prophesying and teaching about “Kingdom
consultants” or “prophetic solutionists” — prophetic men and women whose
ministry is not confined to the “church mountain” but rather extends into a
wide variety of secular settings.
Their
expertise and sensitivity to the Spirit enable them to advise and influence and
effect change (sometimes at high levels) in government, economy, education,
media, and more.
These
anointed men and women of God are part of the Church but not stuck there.
God
gives them moments of prophetic revelation that can be turned into movements of
prophetic reformation.
They
are Kingdom administrators, shedding the powerful light of God into dark places
that up to that time have been devoid of Kingdom influence.
They
possess keen insight and they develop inspired strategies that make true
Kingdom-oriented reformation possible in places that may never have uttered the
name of Jesus.
They
are walking in the footsteps of the “great ones” such as Joseph, Daniel,
Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah.
They find themselves in situations not of their own
choosing but they recognize that they have been positioned by God “for such
a time as this” (Esther 4:14).
Like
Queen Esther, they take it upon themselves to surrender to God’s guidance and
come up with radical solutions, sometimes sticking their necks out and taking
big risks.
Kingdom
consultants do not have to be queens or priests or rulers themselves. In a way,
God calls all of us to be Kingdom consultants, if we take the Great Commission
seriously (see Matthew 28:18–20).
Where
Are YOU Called?
As
you proceed through your life, relating to people in your workplace or sphere
of influence, you are called to spread Kingdom influence.
The
only way you can do it is with the King’s assistance. You are a conduit of His
love and power.
Over
time, God can use you to bring urgently needed changes to the world outside the
Church.
As
a vessel of the prophetic anointing, you are called to release the revelation
God gives you to allow God’s presence to make an impact wherever things would
otherwise remain isolated from Him.
As
a prophetic individual, just make yourself available to God and stay flexible.
You
never know when God will use your words to bring Kingdom influence — one day
you might discover it was a whole lot more than you realized!
It’s
time to release your prophetic anointing everywhere you go!
Flowing
in the prophetic anointing!
