Texas Power Hour w/Pastor Carolyn Sissom - From Anointing to Glory to Glory

The anointing is the manifest power of God that sets us apart.  The word “anoint” means to dedicate to the service of God.  Chris Harvey defined it as “the favor to go, the grace to do, power to be, and the strength to continue.’’ The anointing is a divine enablement that helps us to accomplish God’s supernatural purposes here on earth.  The anointing comes from God.  He releases it to men and women so that we might accomplish things through His divine ability, allowing us to do things we cannot do in our own natural strength.1 Cor. 4:20: For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. The only way this power works is if we are willing to let go of our own natural power or control, and co-operate with the power of the Holy Spirit.  It is in this place of submission that the raw revelation of God is seen clearly as He demonstrates His supernatural ability through our lives.  The anointing releases the gifts of the Spirit to function freely. My testimony is the visitation of the anointing on my life turned me into a different personI was shy, fearful, and preferred to stay in the shadows because I had experienced so much jealousy in my life, that I decided if I stayed in the shadows, no one would have a reason to be jealous of me.  I had to overcome the “hurt” of the “idol of jealousy in the “Holy Place” (Ez. 8:3-5).   Not that I was jealous of others, but because they were jealous of me.  I thought “preferring others” would spare me the cruelty of jealousy and covetness.  If you wanted something I had with the exception of my husband and children,
