The Anointing...

I remember growing up we used to sing this song every Sunday, and I do mean EVERY Sunday, called "Anointing Fall On Me". Well, when I was younger I couldn't grasp the concept of what the anointing was and until today I don't claim to have the monopoly or full knowledge on it but I can say that I believe I received some sort of revelation on it to day. So I decided to share this blog. I KNOW that this year God is going to change my life and so in the process I decided to prepare everything and everyone around me for the occurrence. I know God will do that but He instructed me on somethings to do as well, I just did extra lol oops. (God's way is easier btw) Well.... I'm about to begin my extensive travels for the year and begin burning the midnight oil as I start working on my next project. But in doing all that I started to train people to do what I do and I thought I could train them to do it how I do it, I found out that I can't... Bummer for me. You see today I realized how gifted I am of GOD. Sometimes as singers I think we sometimes forget no matter how long we have been singing that we didn't give our gift to ourselves. Yes we can polish our skills and seek training methods to care for our gift.....BUT I know for me my gift came from God. I have never been "PROFESSIONALLY" vocally trained accept for singing in school choirs and church choirs. Neither of my parents are singers. My dad can hold a tune but doesn't sing regularly. With all those seeming to be odds, the gift of God and the ANOINTING has enabled me to "hang" with the best of them. Give me a moment and I'll sing for that moment. So... I'm sitting here trying to get people to do what I do and how I do it and it's impossible for me to train someone to be just like me because I'm ANOINTED to do what I do! I can't give "anointing" that comes from God. I can show you my practice techniques but I can't duplicate on my own what God gave to me. I mean... I didn't give it to myself. So yea I'm slow on catching things like that. I mean I know the cliche' that "every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord"(mostly used as a phrase pertaining to ugly babies lol J/k) but when you've been doing a certain thing for a period of time, like I explained above, you sort of lose perspective that you didn't gift yourself. And that's anybody. (Even the deepies) GOD has gifted us all and has entrusted us to grow and cultivate our gift but when it all boils down it is HIM that gave us our gift, it is HIM that gives us the grace to grow in our gift and HIM that gives us the ANOINTING to function in our gift. I can say with HOLY RECOGNITION of God (Awesome church phrase huh? lol ) I can say that I am gifted from God and no one is anointed to do what I do. I can't teach nobody the anointing on my life and I sure can't duplicate it...guess there will only be one Brother J.. as we can see there will never be another MJ (Michael Jackson nor Jordan)

PS. Some things take longer to fully grasp than others. Some of you reading this might be saying "I KNEW THAT " concerning the anointing. Well don't judge. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.. I'm getting deeper in HIS word and really listening to my DAD / PASTOR these days and I see that many in the body of Christ are deceived and confused. So we can FLOUNCE that word ANOINTING around but get your own revelation of the anointing on your life. I can transparently say that I'm still learning about mine..
