Day 2: The Fire Of Anointing

The first step in being a man of fire is to be anointed by God.

To be anointed by God is to be set apart for His divine use. If you are anointed it means you are set apart, empowered, and protected. You are set apart from non-believers because you now have a divine purpose. You are empowered because now God is replacing your meager human abilities with His supernatural power to do anything. And you are protected because God will make sure you are able to accomplish His purposes for your life before it’s your time to leave this world.

God uses His Holy Spirit to accomplish this. Everyone can receive the Holy Spirit when they choose to follow God and believe in His Son Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our Helper to accomplish all that God has for us. We CANNOT do it in our own strength.

Let’s look at an example from the book of Acts. This is from when the Holy Spirit was first given to believers after Jesus’ resurrection. The Spirit was described as “flames or tongues of fire (NLT)” that appeared and settled on everyone in the room. Through the Spirit, God gave the believers the ability to speak all kinds of languages. Their mission that day was to preach the good news about Jesus so that Jews from all over the world that were visiting Jerusalem at that time would have an opportunity to believe. Peter gave a powerful message and about 3,000 people gave their lives to Christ that day.

God still operates in the same way today. When we choose Him, He anoints us with His Spirit and gives us what we need to accomplish the mission. He gives us the time, talent, and resources to do what is needed. He gives us both natural everyday things and supernatural and miraculous things. Whatever is needed to accomplish His purpose He will make a way.

We can’t always see it when we feel like we are lacking, but God never fails. Ask God to anoint you with whatever you need to do what He has for you. Spend some time in prayer and let Him know you are ready to be filled with His Spirit for His Kingdom and glory.
