THE ANOINTING WILL COST YOU EVERYTHING
The anointing will cost you everything! It’s expensive and a continual journey of sanctification and surrender.
It takes sacrifice, dying daily to our flesh, and being willing to lay it all down.
We see a lot of people desiring the anointing, however many are not willing to pay the price.
We see a lot of people calling things anointed, however there’s no evidence of true transformation and breakthrough on it.
The anointing breaks yokes and bondages off of people! Have you stopped to assess the fruit on what you are listening and engaging with!? We need to pause and seek the Father when partnering with anything presented and choose to stay in alignment with the heart of God. Even if it means saying NO to something that looks really good! No man or women is your ticket in! Jesus is your ticket into everything that matters and His favor paves a way before you!
In the past month, God has brought me a few women who felt led to walk through healing and mindset shifts with me through our ministry. These women have been wounded and victims of ‘leaders’ who claimed to know Jesus, appeared to be moving in the anointing, however the results of relationship with them showed fiercely opposite. A leader should never tell you what you ‘have’ to do, condemn you, shame you, pull away or threaten you when you don’t do what they want you to, or make you dependent upon them! True leaders who know their identity in Christ will empower you, encourage you, give Godly wisdom, however ultimately they point you to JESUS. I have deep empathy for anyone reading this who have been wounded in this way. I pray the Lord heals you, delivers you, and redeems everything that has been lost or stolen from you. There are solid, anointed, and trusted leaders, and it’s important you pray for keen discernment and look at the fruit. Everything that looks good isn’t! We must test the spirit behind it and be obedient to God. It’s important to feel the pain, release it, choose to forgive, and move forward in wisdom. Redemption and restoration is coming, however you can’t focus on how God will serve justice to others. It’s about you and Him alone! 
The anointing comes from being with Jesus, knowing Him, listening deeply, and being obedient. The anointing reflects the heart and character of Jesus. You must know Jesus through the word and through relationship to discern these things properly. The anointing demonstrates power and humility!
As I sought the Father for His heart in regards to 2023, He gave me many revelations that I previously released. However, I want to share once again, some key points…
1. Prioritizing intimacy over everything is by far the most important thing we can do. We must lay down excuses and distractions and make room for the King of Glory in our lives.
2. Rest will bring release. The release of emotion, pain, and pressure. Along with, the release into kingdom assignments with God’s favor, no longer striving or pushing your way through. He wants our hearts more than our works!
3. God’s justice will be served and there is a great shaking for a great awakening coming. This shaking is in church, government, and issues of morality that are trying to steal, kill, pervert, and destroy this next generation! There is a healthy fear of God returning to the Earth and He will have the last say!
4. God is releasing keen discernment between what is fruitful and Godly versus what is false and fluffy! Repentance and restoration is available to those who will allow the Lord to search their hearts!
When you see someone growing, expanding, or in your interpretation of ‘arriving’, know the cost has been expensive. Know that it’s come with sacrifice, surrender, persecution, and great courage! Also, know you are just as valuable and powerful. Why!? Because it isn’t about us, it’s all about Jesus in us! The more we die to self, the less we care about being seen, and as a result, His glory and goodness will manifest upon the Earth!
So get ready for the King of Glory to be displayed in a more powerful way than we have seen before! There is a fierce bride rising up in this hour. This bride is dripping with the oil of Heaven, armed, anointed, and will not be stopped.
So, wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way! So, wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you eternal doors! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory! Psalm 24:8-10
Love & Courage,
