  Speaker 1: Hey y'all, it's Saturday, faith Fuel and happy Saturday.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: So today we're going to talk about this thing that's been going around a lot.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It's going around a lot lately and it's really about the anointing.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Who's truly the anointing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to be coming from a place of love and we're learning and we're living life together, and I think it makes sense for us to just kind of go back into the word a little bit.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I specifically want to share what's on my heart with those of us who are not.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We don't have platforms.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You might be connected just to your family and your friends.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You don't have.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You're not a five-fold ministry person, none of those things.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So this is specifically for those of us who aren't trying to build churches and other things, right.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the anointing, especially now, because there's a lot of course correction that's happening in the church.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of, as my pastor at my church puts it, people who are paid to be Christians, who are not really Christians, and there's a lot of infighting happening right now and one of the things that folks do to keep their membership is to establish themselves as more credible than the others.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So you'll hear people in church on the pulpit, say this and then you'll hear their congregation echo this that you know that statement or that verse that they pull out that says don't harm my anointed, something like that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just paraphrasing right now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, so, uh.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So I want to talk about who the anointed is and I'm going to come in into our word because there are.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I have met more people with more anointing than a lot of those folks on in the pulpit, than your, than your pastor and your prophet.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Um, I've come across people with the kind of anointing where God has put them to minister, to, uh, to their community in different ways.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They show up as the greeter at Walmart, they show up as your cashier at the gas station, they show up as your mechanic, they show up as your teacher, they show up as your ER person, they show up as your colleague on the job Folks who don't have a platform.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But you are anointed, all of us are anointed.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So we're going to please, let's go into scripture and I want to encourage those of y'all who are anointed and the Lord is using you where you are.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's why we always pray over our assignments.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We pray over our assignments because that's where you're supposed to be and I don't want you to, I don't want you to miss this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm in second corinthians.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's hot, I'm in georgia, I'm, I'm sweating, okay, I got a little oil, like, don't pay attention to that, y'all.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's hot, y'all, and I'm a woman of a certain age and it kind of it is what.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It is all right.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Second corinthians um.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Second corinthians 1, verses 20 through 22.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: This is the esv asia version.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, for all the promises of god find their yes in him.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That is why it is through him that we utter our amen to god for his glory.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And it is god who establishes us with you in christ, as you and me, and has anointed us, okay, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his spirit that's Holy Spirit in our hearts, as a guarantee For all the promises of God find their yes in him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: That is why, through him, that we utter our amen to God for his glory.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us and who has put his seal on us and given us his spirit in our hearts as a guarantee, the spirit in our heart being the Holy Spirit.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is with us, in us.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Sometimes, when I pray, I say thank you for being with me, around me, near me, by me.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: All the things, okay, all the things, so the anointing, and and how we take care of each other and how we respect each other.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Don't get confused and think that just because someone has a pulpit or just because they have a platform or they're claiming to be a prophet or they're claiming to be an evangelist or apostle, don't be confused, thinking that they are more, they're better than you, they're highly anointed.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We are all the same in God's kingdom.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And to me, can I?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They are more, they're better than you, they're highly anointed.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: We are all the same in God's kingdom.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And to me, can I just be honest, sometimes that is the most frustrating thing ever, because I'm like Lord, your son, your apostle, so-and-so, is out here doing the things, saying the things, and he's getting away with it, and you know what I mean.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I get so frustrated sometimes, y'all, but I want to speak to those of y'all who are in an assignment where the Lord is using you and you are anointed to do the work that he's graced you to do.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So for those of y'all who are, again, you don't have a platform.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You're not trying to be an influence, you're not trying to do all the things.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to live your life and reflect the love of Christ to those who come alongside you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: When you show up on your job, you're living your life and reflecting the love of Christ to those you work with.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: When you're going to the store, you're living your life right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: When you're going to the store, you're doing your things and you're reflecting the love of Christ in how you approach the cashier, the person at the door, how you hold the door, how you deal with you know all kinds of crazy racist stuff that's going on right now how you respond to your environment.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You are anointed to operate where he put you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The word says that he's put his seal on us and he's given us his Holy Spirit.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That is our guarantee, the grace that God has given you to do what you've got to do y'all.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You are anointed so that you could be a great teacher, if that's the assignment he's given you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: If you're the godmother, the person who's watching over children, you are anointed in that way.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So don't get caught up thinking when people say, don't touch, not my anointed you also, that also means they can't touch you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't worry about haters and who's doing the what.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I get it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I get it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm not concerned about that because in the same way the Lord has his divine protection over me, is the same way he has it over you.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's why I always urge you to, first of all, stay within God's perfect will for your life, ask him what you should be doing and stay that path.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, don't be so worried about trying to build out your ministry, because the moment you start to focus on building something out, you miss what God's working on.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You miss what the Lord is trying to do.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We start to allow our ego to take over.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We don't want to be taught by nobody.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody wants.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Like, we all want success and we want it right now, but I don't want you to miss these incredible, awesome opportunities that God gives you to just do what maybe are the small things.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'll deal with.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'll take the little things.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: If the Lord says something minor, you know, go, do something.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Go speak to that person, smile at that person.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: To me, that's my assignment, right, and I'm going to do it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: A lot of folks don't want to do that because it's not big enough, it's not bringing you the cash flow you thought you, you know you deserve and all the things.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So I hope this is making sense.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I know I'm uttering a lot, but I just want to give a quick shout out to those of us who we don't have the platforms.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: We, we don't have all the things, okay, but we are still being obedient to when the lord tells us and calls us to do something and we are happy with the small.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Be okay with a small if he gives you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: If your assignment y'all is a baseball coach, right, say you know, you're the coach, you're the dad and you're the coach, and that's your assignment.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You're anointed because you're the dad and you're the coach, and that's your assignment.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You're anointed because you're following Christ and the Holy Spirit is with you.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Then, when you go to coach, you're coaching through discipline and love.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Right, you're anointed to do that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That's what you do.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And you never know you touch one child's life, that one child might be touching 10 other people.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So numbers don't make sense.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Don't get so excited about people with big platforms y'all, because there's a lot of folks who are just audience members but they're not actually believers.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just okay.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to you know again.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: You know, for those of us you know bus drivers, mechanics, teachers, all of y'all, all of all of us who have access where the lord's put you in an assignment, you have access to many, many people, um, that is, you're anointed to do the work, and let him work through you, let the holy spirit do the work.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Let the holy spirit do the work through you.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So that was, um, that was coming out of second corinthians 1, verses 20 to 22.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And again, I always urge you to go back and read the Word, because I'm not making this stuff up.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: We just have to do a little bit better of a job reading what the Word of God says, so that we don't become stumbling blocks to each other.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right, I will drop the scripture in the notes also, just so y'all have it, so that you know I don't confuse us.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's second Corinthians 1, verses 20 to 22.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: My bad, all right, I love you, jesus loves you more, and God bless you all.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Right, bye.
