Psalm 23:5 “YOU prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; YOU anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
Dry Turkey Revelations!
No anointing is like really dry turkey or a meatloaf that’s baked far too long.
No matter the hype and the lights in the kitchen, it’s one’s cooking that simply went wrong.
Yet today many stand in the sight of all others with pride as though mantles are purchased.
Whether time spent in college or under some mentor, or worse through some payment still worthless.
So sacrifice time and the wants of this life which are contrary to HIS appointing.
For only by HIS sovereign nod should one preach else one’s stance won’t display CHRIST’s anointing!
As HIServant keenly aware of how little I know and how great my life must reflect only HIM,

Devotional: 1 John 2: 26-27 “I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27 But the anointing that you received from HIM abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you.
But as CHRIST’s anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie — just as it has taught you, abide in HIM.”
Humility before Promotion. David was a shepherd before he was King. Esther (Hadassah) was an unknown Israelite girl (Tribe of Benjamin) before becoming a queen.
Joseph was imprisoned for 13 years before GOD raised his head and made him second only to Pharoah. And many examples exist in HIS WORD.
Point being: None set the time and most want to rush the time forward to the next level. Using hype, entertainment, loud speaking, etc. etc. etc.
That’s truly worldly Hype and not GODly Help!
But GOD! Await then GOD’s timing and ESPECIALLY HIS anointing. As mentioned about dry turkey and burnt (puffed up) meatloaf, no one likes it, amen?
No one would joyfully select it and it’s usually leftovers the dog eats or the trash collects.
As such, we cannot do anything in this life for HIM while promoting personal credit.
So humble yourself, oh my Soul, in HIS Sight. Lift not your own head but stay lowest both reading and studying HIS WORD till HE calls.
Isaiah 61:1 “The SPIRIT of the LORD GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;
HE has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound…”
So go and preach, ye ANOINTED of GOD!
Amen and amen.
