Worship
is my passion.
I
am often asked, "What do I need to do to sing with an anointing? or
"How do I get an anointing?" My heart was especially touched, though,
when one lady said, "I want your anointing." God used that simple
statement to stir my heart to help those who desire to worship, minister, or
simply live a life that is truly anointed by the Holy Spirit. I can only
speak to this because I have fumbled, mumbled and stumbled until I found truth.
We can all live anointed lives and serve
from a place of spiritual power. To do this we must understand why we lack
the anointing and determine how to gain it. An examination of my life exposed
hindrances and tools which impacted my journey to the power. Those truths provided the seed of
the Pour the Oil series which has now grown to a vision
of five books (two have already been published).
The desire to help others birthed
purpose, and the execution of purpose (writing Pour the Oil) changed me. Most amazing were the revelations in the
writing process. They irrevocably transformed my heart. Many of the
contaminants God exposed were eye openers. Even the exposition of some tools
and how they should be used blew my mind. His revelations provided a spiritual
awakening. In 2 Timothy 1:6 Paul reminds us to "Stir up the gift." I
was stirred, vigorously.
I didn't realize how much my heart could take and what that meant. There was more (in me) for God to take apart, reorder, replenish and reassemble. I was humbled to a point of persistent worship. God is bigger, wiser, stronger, and He knows just what we need. I am grateful that I am not the same, and my journey continues. One thing which hasn't changed, worship is my passion, and I am pursuing God - relentlessly.
