And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. –Isaiah 10:27
Most people today including Christians are walking very short of their full potential of who God has called them to be. Much of this is because there are areas in which the believer has not been able to get victory over. Many times the person has read many good books, been to many good conferences, and talked with many counsellors but still not able to overcome.
A person in this situation needs desperately to find a church or a minister who carries a strong anointing. When defeated man comes into contact with a powerful and Holy God, major transformation can happen. An anointed man or women of God will carry with them the anointing and power of God. The tangible presence of God alone is able to shake a person to the very core of their being; it can cause a person to see, feel, understand, and sense things entirely different. In addition, evil spirits will most likely flee and the person will be able to think with clarity like possibly they never have before.
Let us read the story of Paul and Silas in Acts chapter 16: 23 – 26
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Consider the following points about this story:
1. Paul and Silas were in a prison. They were bound and chained. There was nothing they could do in the natural to change their circumstances. They could not break themselves free.
2. Paul and Silas prayed and worshiped God. Prayer and worship will cause the presence of God to come and for the Holy Spirit to manifest. As uninterrupted worship continues, the intensity of God’s presence thickens and the anointing of God will come in a powerful way.
3. When the anointing and presence of God reaches a certain point, miracles will take place and breakthrough will happen. Paul and Silas prayed and worshiped God until the breakthrough came. Let’s read again what happened
Acts 16:26: and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
The anointing of God is able to break you free from whatever is holding you back from reaching your destiny in God! As we pray and worship God, the presence of God will come, and, if we continue, the anointing for breakthrough will come and those chains that are holding your loved ones back can be broken!
The anointing for breakthrough is available for every believer! Jesus said these signs will follow them that simply believe, in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;…they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17,18)
I pray for the anointing for breakthrough to come upon your life! If you are in an emotional or spiritual prison just pray and worship God. Do it for several hours at a time if you can. God is exceedingly and abundantly to do more than we can ever ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
