God's mercies are new everyday. Through this blog, it is the desire of the author to allow anyone a short glimpse into the Word of God and thus drawing people into a deeper, higher and more intimate relationship with Christ. It is also the desire of the author that this devotion carries a little light of encouragement to a society that is getting swallowed up in gray.

The Real Thing
Read Exodus 30:22-33
There are two things about the anointing that must be discussed today; (1) it will not and cannot be poured on a stranger, (2) it will not and cannot be imitated. God has reserved the right to only allow true anointing to fall on His children and His anointing is not to be imitated by man. The fall of Lucifer in the beginning transpired because he tried to possess the anointing of God without the heir-ship of God, and he tried, and still tries today, to imitate God’s anointing.
In this passage, again we read that the strangers are all those that are outside the priesthood and the sons of the priesthood. In the Newt Testament we became priests through the ministry of Jesus Christ. Every son, without regard to finance, education, material blessing or familial name, can possess the anointing of God. No one else is able to receive the anointing of the Lord. It is important to understand that we, as the children of the Lord, are both blessed and anointed , not for ourselves, but for God and His desires. He has set us apart for His service.
Those that attempt to imitate the anointing of the Lord will be cut off. It is imperative that we recognize and cleave to the true anointing of God. There is nothing that we can do to earn, buy, steal or embezzle the sweet and powerful anointing of the Lord. It can only come through Him and from Him into our lives. When we, through vain glory or traditions of men, try and portray ourselves as anointed, we utterly fail. Remember the words of Jesus, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
