Preparing for the arrival of an anointing. When preparing for a conference which I have done now for nearly 30 years, for both myself and for others whom I have served under there has always been a spirit of expectation. As I was preparing for my 21st personal women’s conference I was thinking to myself, “I’m not carrying much of the load this time. My car isn’t overly packed and I’ve not got a trailer hitched.” No sooner had I spoken those words when the Lord spoke right back to me and said, “You are carrying the Word. The word is heavy and it contains the glory and power.” I have got to admit I teared up and said, “I’m sorry Lord.” It was as though I had taken physical work to mean more, or weigh more heavily than the word. I needed an adjustment and He was there to make it!
James 3:5 NIV "Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body,
but it makes great boasts.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark."
but it makes great boasts.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark."
We have an awesome opportunity to speak life. We are commissioned to carry the life giving word of God to all we meet. There are times that a word can turn a situation around. A word can bring healing or deliverance. We must be as busy learning and preparing to speak as we are to pack a car or make an airline reservation. One will need done over and over the other will change eternity for ever and ever.
ACTION STEP: Speak life today. Carry His word. Prepare for your future now. Don't think preparation in the word is a waste of time, rather it is an investment that you carry and can deposit in others.
