Changed by the Anointing

Listen to the Audio

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our theme is Anointed. God has already anointed us and this anointing sets us apart as holy, empowers us by His Spirit, sets us apart for a specific role, and also makes us healthy.

In 1 Samuel 10 Samuel anoints Saul as the king of Israel. After he is anointed Samuel tells him he will be changed into a different person and to do whatever his hand found to do because God was with him. What are the things you know to do today? If you will make it a practice of keeping things simple and doing what you know to do each day trusting that God is with you it can transform your life. We often get weighed down by all of the uncertainties of life but if you will keep it simple and do what you know to do with a good attitude there is grace and anointing today to help. 

God's anointing in us and on us has the power to change us into a new person. After Saul was anointed the Spirit rushed upon him and he was changed into a new person. Then he started to prophesy and all of the people who had know him before started asking what had happened to Saul because he was doing something new. God's anointing may give us an unction to do some things we have never done before and we must yield to his leading and anointing. 

When we take communion it is symbolic of letting go of our old ways and receiving the power of God to be transformed into who he created us to be. Then follow through by doing what you know to do and following his leading.
