So the Lord has been dealing with me about talking about the anointing of God, and specifically the anointing of God in the classroom.
The anointing of God? In a CLASSROOM? Yep, in a classroom!
But first, I’ve gotta be real with you. When God first gave me the task of doing a blog, I dragged my feet a bit. Why, do you ask? Well, I am not a writer by training, so this was wayyyyyy out of my comfort zone. (Like way, wayyyyy out) But catch this… it was part of my calling. He CALLED me to write a blog. So guess what, I CAN do it! 😂And once YOU understand this, your struggles will be OVER!
So as I got ready to write this article, I heard a scripture come up on the inside of me: “I can do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13) but I didn’t hear the way that it’s typically stated (the way that most people hear it.) I heard it as “I can do all things through Christ -the Anointed One and His Anointing.” It’s HIS anointing. And it’s that anointing that you can use in your classroom. It’s that anointing that I use as I’m writing this blog!
So how does the anointing work in the classroom, or in the place where God has called you to be?
The anointing says YOU CAN. The anointing is there for everything that you have to do in the classroom. It says YOU CAN -You can do it! And then it strengthens you to do it! It enables you to do hard things. Because the anointing, I CAN. The anointing that enables me to write. He strengthens me to to do it! (As a matter of fact, t’s the anointing that enables me to write this article for this blog!) And it’s the anointing that enables YOU to do all things you are called to do for YOUR classroom. It is the anointing that enables you to do everything that you are called to do… in your classroom.
Because of the anointing, YOU CAN. Why? Because the ANOINTING is the ability to get things done – in this case- in the classroom. Anything that you have been struggling to do… that’s part of your call, you CAN do. Why? Because He enables you to do anything you’re called to do. He strengthens you to do it. (He’s strengthening me to write this blog – right at this very moment! )
And God said to remind that you can do ALLLLL things in your classroom. Not some of the things that you’re called to do. ALLLLLLLLL of ‘em! He strengthens you to do ALL of it, just like He strengthens me to write this blog!
So now that we have established that you can do all things through Christ the Anointed One and His Anointing, the second principle that you need to know is you can HAVE WHAT YOU SAY (Mark 11:23-24).
Now, put those two concepts together… YOU CAN do all things through Christ (the Anointed One and His Anointing) and YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU SAY.
The anointing has to be released; you have to RELEASE your faith for it. How do you do this? You put Mark 11 to use. Mark 11:23 NKJV says “whosoever says to this mountain ‘be removed and be cast into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
So you open up your mouth and SAY: “I believe… I can do all things through Christ… I CAN (do whatever I am called to do in my classroom)! I can do it!”
SAY “I can do allll things (release your faith that you can do allll the things in your classroom that you need to do).” Release your faith, say “I CAN… I CAN do all things through the Anointed One and His Anointing! I can, I can, I CAN”. Release your faith and say, ‘I CAN do it!’
So for everything that seems too hard for you, release your faith and start to say I can. Don’t go by how you feel. Go by (and say) what God says! Say, “I release my faith that I CAN.” SAY “I can do anything that I am CALLED to do!” Release your faith for it! SAY “The anointing enables me to do it!”
SPEAK IT. Believe it. And then release your faith (release your faith that you can what you are called to do. ) I didn’t say you that you FELT like it. I didn’t say that you FELT like you were able to do it. I said SAY IT! (Don’t say what you feel. Say what you BELIEVE.) Don’t release what you FEEL about your classroom (don’t say that and release that.)
Say “The anointing of God strengthens me to do (—————-) [that thing that I’m called to do in my classroom.] Say “I have the ability!” (You HAVE the ability- just like I have the ability to write this article, although I am not a trained writer or editor.)
I also heard God say don’t say things COUNTER to that (counter to what you just reissued your faith for). No! Release your faith for what you CAN do in your classroom!
You can do ALLLL things that you need to do for your classroom through Christ the Anointed One, and His Anointing, because He strengthens you to do it, just like He strengthened me to do this blog. 👀
