An Anointing For An Outpouring

BY MARK VARAGHESE

1 Samuel 16 tells the story of Samuel and how he anointed David to be king. It starts with God saying to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn over something I've rejected?” The anointing that Samuel brought to David triggered a new season. It’s time to stop mourning over what God himself is moving on from, and His anointing will become a trigger for a brand new day for you.

We're going to pray for each other. Everyone is going to have a dual role because you are going to be both Samuel and David; the giver and the receiver. I believe three specific things will happen as a result of the anointing for an outpouring.

1. The anointing will break every chain. It will set you free, because the anointing breaks the yoke. The anointing sets the captives free, and it's time we got to silence the demonic in our churches. Why isn't there hunger in the House? Often there's something suppressing it and sometimes we just need a good clean out.

2. It's going to awaken eternity.

When eternity is awake, it's a heaven and hell thing. Awakening eternity doesn't mean you have to think about death; in fact it's the opposite: you think about eternal life. Healing the sick is a demonstration of the Kingdom of God. Let it come alive, like you did in your first love.

3. The anointing will fill you to over flow.

The best way to minister is out of the overflow. The overflow means it's not just about you. When God wants to overflow inside of you, it's because He's got other people He wants to fill. The outpouring is God's job. Overflowing is our job.

David experienced this. He wrote in Psalm 23: 5"... You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows." After David was anointed, you know what he did next? He went back to the sheep. And we will return to our sheep, anointed and overflowing.
