Day 14 - A Fresh Anointing

 

Take time today to ask God for a fresh anointing. Too many people have great things to say about things that happened 15 years ago. God wants to do something in your life right now! The best things that have ever happened in your life are ahead of you. In order to make room for the best, you can’t live off of old oil. Can you imagine NEVER changing the oil in your car!? Your engine would cease and your vehicle would be USELESS. It’s the same with God’s children. We need FRESH oil to take us to the places we’ve never been. 

 

 

Scripture:  

“But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of a wild ox: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.”
— Psalm 92:10
“He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”

— Matthew 3:12

 

Prayer & Confession: 

“Father I thank you for the wonderful things you’ve done in my life, but I know the best is ahead of me. Pour out your fresh oil on my life. Let that oil burn out every unproductive thing in me. Let your fresh oil do away with anything that would lead to my destruction and demise. Burn up the chaff in me,  O Lord! Clean up everything that doesn't belong. Every tree planted by the devil, be uprooted now, In Jesus Name! Increase your favor and grace upon my life. Give me the grace to pray without ceasing and grace to hunger for your Word. I receive your favor upon my life. Thank you, that the things that haven't worked for me before will begin to flourish this year. In Jesus precious name!”

Do Something:

In your time of prayer and fasting find 5 scripture to meditate on this week. If you're in need of a healing, a financial breakthrough, a restored marriage, whatever it is, stand on the Word. Knowing what belongs to you is your first step towards total freedom. Stand on God’s Promises!

Don't look back. You're not going that way.

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
— Isaiah 43:18-19

The reason most people slip back into their old habits and sinful nature is because they look back.  After having a powerful encounter with God, why would anyone go back to the way things were? Because they keep looking back! Once you dedicate your life to the Lord, DON'T LOOK BACK!

James 1:23-25 says " For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.  You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.  But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it." That old drug addict is dead. That woman full of depression and anxiety was crucified with Christ.

The Bible says in order for you to progress and lead a successful Christian life, you need to look to the perfect law (the Bible) that sets you free!! You can't do the things you've always done. You can't go to the places you've always gone. YOU are the one that needs to make the proper changes to continue on growing with Jesus. YOU are the one that needs to do what God's Word says and NOT forget what you've heard! 

Remember what Romans 8:1-2 says, "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death." The power of sin is broken off of you! The Spirit of God has freed you from all of the devil's plan and oppression in your life!

If you've never accepted Jesus into your heart pray this prayer OUT LOUD.

Heavenly Father, 

Forgive me of my sin! I believe Jesus Christ died for me. I receive Him now as Lord and Saviour of my life. Thank you, Father, for breaking the power of sin over my life through the blood of Jesus. Fill me now with your wonderful Spirit, never to be the same again. The old is gone and today I am born again! I am free from all sin and addiction! 

In the name of Jesus!

And just like that, your life will never be the same!  If you prayed that, I want to send you a Bible so contact me at Adalis@revivaltoday.com.
