Anointed By A Loving God

Speaker: Mark Shook Title: Anointed By A Loving God “You anoint my head with oil” Psalm 23:5 WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ANOINTED? Internal: When God’s Holy Spirit gives you insight, ability, stamina, authority or protection that you don’t normally have in order to do a job that He has chosen you to do! External: When someone serving under God’s authority prayerfully applies some oil to your skin as an outward sign of what God has chosen to do with you. FACTS ABOUT GOD’S ANOINTING 1.
