And now for 8244, Working in the Anointing.

James Bronner: Welcome to brothers of the word, because brother you need the

word. And stay tuned today whether you’re watching on

television or Facebook. I believe that God has a word for you

today and I know that he does because of the way this message

came about. And I have to start off repenting because to be

honest I didn’t want to do this message today. I have a very

hectic week just two and three meetings a day and computers

were breaking and I had to deal with after the meeting, stuff at

home was going on and I was just tired. I was busy. I had a lot

going on. And pastor, he said, will you be in town on Sunday? I

need you to preach and I tell you, I came up with every excuse in

the book. I said, you know I think I’ll be out of town Sunday. I

was almost glad. I think I’ll be gone Sunday. He said, “Check

your schedule.” I looked my calendar, oh, that trip got cut short.

Oh, my goodness. I’ll be back. I said, well you must have

forgotten. It hadn’t been that long ago since I preached. It

hadn’t been that long, he said that’s all right, and I just kept

scrapping. I said, you know what I remember the Lord has

given my wife even a powerful word. She’s been tanning in her

journal, and I said, it’s time to release that word.

I was coming up with everything I could come up with and he

just didn’t seem to be budging and finally he said, “God set for

you to preach on Sunday.” And I had to guess at that point, I

said, “I’ll do it regardless of how our field in the business.” So,

at least I know this word is for at least one person today if God

had me to preach and I repent for not being just willing to go

forth by you today and people will often ask me how I juggle all

of the things that I do in my life. The father of seven children

and the husband of my wife Stephanie. I’m youth pastor of this

ministry. I’m also vice president of a company. I run the IT

department of another company and then I manage the third-

largest convention in the state of Georgia. So, I do a lot of things

and they say, “I don’t really see you stressed out and frazzled.

How do you do it?” Well, the message today is one of the keys of

how I’m able to juggle everything. And I speak today from a

subject I’ve never thought on and own and it was in the midst of

my going and doing all of these that God said, “I wanted you to

speak from actually what you’re walking in.” And I speak today

from the subject of working in the anointing. Working in the

anointing.

And the anointing is not for us to shake and to shout in church.

It’s for us to glorify Him in church, yes, and to do ministerial

work in church. Yes, to do healing and prophetic things in

church, yes. But He wants it to go beyond these four walls. He

wants us to go out with us into the workplace and the

marketplace and to be used there, to change the world, and

that’s what this message is about today. And I actually, it was

Thursday and I had to preach Sunday. I have been going every

day just from morning and night and didn’t really have time to

prepare. I said, “Lord, you got to give me what to speak if you

want me to speak on Sunday.

And it was on the way to the airport on Thursday because I was

taking a business trip that He began to speak in to my spirit as I

going to trying to close a business deal with a huge company

worth four billion dollars. And I was flying out on Thursday and

began to type in my phone on the little airport shuttle on the

way to the airport. As I got off the shuttle, I have my business

bag there and the driver of the little shuttle bus. He didn’t know

me from television or anywhere, but as I got ready to get off, he

says, sir, he said, “Something about you, you have a Creflo

Dollar anointing on you. He didn’t know me if I was a minister

or anything, but he saw an anointing even though I had a

business bag. He didn’t know I was typing on a message about

working in the anointing in my phone at the time on his shuttle.

00:05:05

He didn’t know what I was typing but he saw on anointing on

me that I want to talk about today. Working in the anointing, it

gives you many advantages over working without the anointing,

and I’m going to list out four and keep in mind these are not

dealing with the benefits and advantages of the ministerial work

Page 4: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

of the anointing that you all are familiar with. With all of the

nine gifts of the spirit. These are workplace advantages and

benefits that I’ve personally seen in my life. Number one, the

anointing gives you favor with people.

The Texas company that I went out to see that was worth four

billion dollars, we had prepared this presentation on paper and

had these diagrams and charts and all of this and we had done

everything we could think of to prepare. And as I spoke, I felt

the anointing come on me and I prayed that morning and

meditated and worshipped God, and I carried the anointing with

me. And then I said, “Lord, be with me in this meeting.” And in

the meeting, we had presented all of these proposals with

different offers and we saw something unusual happen. They

got off with a paper and they offered us to do three things that

we didn’t even ask for. And we’d never seen and then they said,

“Well, we can do this for you.”

And then, what about this. Introducing you to these people, and

it was something that we didn’t even ask for. Three things. The

salesperson that I went there with and she said, I had to run to

the car before you and I wanted to shout in the car, I didn’t want

you to see me, think I was going crazy because of how God

worked it out in the meeting. And even my tradeshow manager

who was watching me on the internet right now, a lot of times

when she has to call people to get them to make deals. She will

say, “I want to wait until you’re in my office because it seems

like they won’t answer the phone when I try to call them, but

little like when you’re in there, little like they’re just pick up and

that’s the anointing. They’re not picking up for me, but they’re

picking up off of the favor the Lord.”

The number two advantage that I see and witnessed, the

anointing increases your wisdom, discernment, insight, and

spiritual guidance. Pastor and I, we’re a member of the CEO

groups by 30 CEOs in the group and we have a speaker each

month. And this last month, the speaker was teaching on how

to use intuition in business decisions. We learned a lot about

how to use data but he was teaching us how to couple that with

intuition to help you make decisions. And pastor, he operates

very strongly in this anointing and he had many business deals

where God will give him the exact price to offer the person.

Even this very church we’re in, that was one of those deals. God

Page 5: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

gave him a number and he knows not to go one dollar over that

amount.

Both of our manufacturing facilities, God gave him the exact

number and many of these deals when the other person here,

they’ll all just laugh in his face. They say, “There’s no way I’m

going ot do that. That’s a lot of them for the price of what

they’re asking but they end up coming back over time to that

exact number. And if ever he’s given a number and it doesn’t go

through, it’s indicating to him that this is not a deal that God

has ordained for you to have. So, it serves two purposes, it gives

him the amount of the deal and then it verifies whether it is

God’s will or not.

Number three, advantage I see of the anointing in the workplace

as the anointing increases innovative ideas. Increases

innovative ideas. In our show, we partner with two software

company. One to do the registration and another to do the

exhibitor registration. And as I began to work with them, God

just begin to give me ideas that help even improve their

products. And that product he flowed so many things through

me to them that the feature set that they released from us was

more than all the other customers combined. And I talked with

one of the CEOs. He said, “Because this product has become

better than all of the others in the market,” he said, “Microsoft

saw it and they saw the innovation and they just invested this

huge amount of money in my company to buy a part of it and he

thanked me for helping him to innovate.” And he said, “Because

of that, your next show will have five times the service. Thanks

to Microsoft that they put all of this huge amount of money.”

He told me exactly how much it was, I’m not at liberty to say but

it was huge. I tell you. So, I’ve seen God work even in the area

of ideas and giving innovation. Number four advantage of the

anointing in the workplace. The anointing enhances natural

abilities and it helps you to enter something called the state of

flow easier. And flow is something that’s used in the world and

the business and athletic world and it’s defined by them as a

state of optimal performance that has a heightened state of

mind and a heightened enjoyment.

00:10:10

Page 6: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

And our presenter even in our last CEO meeting, he talked

about being in the state of flow and how ideas and decisions are

made easier. And we’re familiar within the church on how the

anointing can help you enhance natural abilities. We just saw

Tamika sing and saw the anointing on her and what difference

it made. We’re seeing prayer under the anointing. We hear

preaching under the anointing and outside of the anointing you

don’t get the same impact, the same feel. And it is this fourth

attribute that I want to teach mostly on today of walking in the

state of flow, because it’s the one that we’ve got the least

teaching about in the church. But it’s the one the world is

teaching about the most out of this. All of your top athletes, all

of your top CEOs, your top entertainers. they are being taught

how to enter the state of flow to operate at something that

simulates the anointing of the church. The world has termed it

flow and it’s a mimic of the Holy Ghost because even when you

look in the Bible and look when he talks about the Holy Spirit,

he describes it as flowing. He talks about the oil that ran down

Abraham’s beard and flowed onto the garments.

The other symbology of the spirit in the Bible is water and water

flows. So, it’s a very similar concept, but the world is able to

take our principles and beat us at it using it which is a shame.

And they have books written about it and seminars all on this

one area of flow. But we’re going to talk about it today. Here

are some examples of even how operating in this flow affected

my work and my life. One of the things that I was getting ready

to do with our beauty show was we were setting up an advisory

board of people who knew more than I did, who were more

licensed, more experienced. In the midst of setting this up I

began to talk with some of the advisors and listen to some of

their ideas. When we tried some of them, I had to hold up on

the advisory board because what I saw was the things that they

had for me to try. They were performing less than what I was

getting out of the state of flow myself.

Even though I didn’t have the experience, I wasn’t a licensed

stylist. When I got in this state of flow, the spirit began to just

give me ideas. And I saw the advisors put together a panel in

the class and said, “Use their years of expertise and there was

third (00:12:40), and I saw a flow come and put together a panel

and it was a standing room only. So, I said, “Hold up on that

panel, I’ve got an internal advisory panel that’s outperforming

the external.” And even I had another business meeting last

Page 7: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

weekend. It was three guys and one guy had asked me for the

meeting. I didn’t know he was bringing in two other business,

actually there was four of them. They just bombarded with me

all of this stuff. And they got through giving their different

pitches and when they got through, the flow hit on me and I

began to tell them about the vision that God has given me and

they got through. They said, “We got to be honest. We came

here to sell you.” But they said, “It’s the best part of me when

you start talking and I end up selling them all three different

things.” And they came prepared but I just clicked into flow and

it began. They felt the anointing and it struck something on the

inside of them.

Even at our show, I remember one year when I was walking in

flow. An older lady stopped me and she said, “Mr. Bronner, you

don’t know me, I’ve never met you. But I just wanted to stop

you and tell you that I wasn’t coming to this show. It had

changed and I didn’t like some of the changes that I saw. But

what made me be here today was not any advertisement you all

made. Not any sales rep. I turned on my television this

morning and looked at the news, there you were on that

television. When I heard your voice, something struck the inside

of me and I felt something and I said, I’ve got to go and support

this legacy.”

So, it was something that I didn’t learn in a marketing book, but

it was the flow of the Holy Ghost that connected with her and

she wanted to come and be a part of it. I had other people to

stop me at the show and ask to take a picture and as they take

the picture, they said, “Excuse me, it’s strange, but I want to

ask, are you a minister?” And I said, “Actually yes, I am, why do

you ask?” They say, “As I stood next to you and you held your

arms around me, I felt an anointing on you that I didn’t know

how to explain.” So, God will give you favor and he’ll allow

people to feel that anointing on you. So, I’ve seen it work in my

life. Another thing that I saw with the show is one morning

when I was in prayer and he showed me a vision of our exhibit

floor.

00:15:03

And he showed me a prayer booth there and he gave me the

words to put on the signs to make it where just wasn’t in your

face and offensive to some, but it basically said to come out of

Page 8: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

the noise and come in this place of solitude. And he showed me

how people, they go around and the phone loses charge. So, I

bought charging stations to put in this prayer station and it has

a picture on there, plugging in through the power of prayer.

And it said, charge your spirit as you charge your phone. And

they were able to bring in their phones and as they brought

their phones in, they felt the presence and we keep worship

music going in this part of the show.

And there were so many reports of people giving their lives to

Christ right there in the midst of a trade show off of a vision out

of this flow. And the very next show because we placed God’s

presence right there on the floor, we sold out of all of our exhibit

space from there. Again, the anointing of God, the favor of God

just following his leading in flow. We had our registration

system and I used all of my education to try to get people

registered and we wanted to get the information, and I put it

together in the best way I could technically using my training

and we put all that together and I laid out all of this fancy plans

out and the folk got that, and had to wait in line two hours

trying to get the information in there.

But when I got into a state of flow and one day woke up with a

dream and I saw signs of how to line it up and came in, Oh man,

as I say, “Do the signs like this.” Change everything I said last

time and let’s try this. We tried at the next show and instead of

a two hour wait, the average wait time, even though we have

more people was five minutes. And we captured everybody’s

information and the people said it was the best process they’ve

seen in 30 years on our registration.

Out of a state of flow, we took a brother’s trip to Africa and even

as we were there, we try not to deal with a lot of business on

vacation. So, I was trying to get out of my business flow and

just go into relaxation flow. But the anointing was still on me

and as we walked through this third world villages, and I just

began to see business ideas, even there in the midst of this

poverty. When I got back home, we emailed the guide five

different business ideas and plans that they could do with the

resources they had right where they are, that would bless not

only their lives but the lives of the entire village. And I just

seen how operating in this flow, it even affects different areas of

my life that you wouldn’t think the anointing would even help

you in.

Page 9: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

Prophet Dexter, he can testify that even sometimes when we’re

playing pool, I’ll get in the state of flow. And Prophet Hepti(ph),

he’ll talk about it. He says, “Oh, there you go walking fast.” And I get out of my own calculating and I just walk and hit the

balls. He’ll tell you it’s hard to do anything with me when I get

in that state of flow. Even Brother Travis, he played with me

not long ago and I was coming from work where I had been

operating in this flow and I hadn’t played pool in months. I was

operating in this flow and we went to play a game of pool after I

hadn’t picked up a stick in months. And I have this flow

anointing still on me and I told him to rack up the balls, let me

see if I can still can remember how to do this thing and I hit my

first shot in the state of flow. The ball scattered and the eight

ball went in and I won the game in one stroke in the state of

flow. Am I telling the truth, Brother Travis?

So, you’ll be surprised at how the state can cause ease to come in

your life. I want to give you some mindset characteristics of

operating in the state of flow. Some things that help it and then

some things that inhibit it. The first, the primary thing is to

complete focus in the moment and the task at hand. The

business world, they have books and they have coined their term

on this as deep work and it’s where they really have

uninterrupted focused time. And they cut the cellphones off and

the social media and email and they don’t let anything interrupt

them during this time. And they have research to show that

their productivity just goes up four and five-fold in this time of

deep work off of this flow of focus and concentration.

A lot of times when I’m working on computers, if I get on the

flow late at night, even though I try to get in the bed on time,

sometimes when I’m working on a special project, I’ll get

involved in this flow state and I can’t come out of it. I’ll work all

night long and I can be in this flow state sharper at 2:00 and

3:00 a.m. than a normal person would be at noon. And my wife,

she’ll see me up late and I remember about last week, it was

about five in the morning or four in the morning.

00:20:05

She said, “You’re up mighty early.” I said, “I haven’t been to bed

yet.” I was up all night just in this state of flow producing a new

project. Now, that’s not healthy to do but there are times when

Page 10: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

God is birthing something in you that you have to continue with

the flow that you cannot cut it off. It’s like what a baby, you get

a new baby, you can’t sleep when that baby is waking you up at

night. So that’s how some things that God will give you will be.

Another state of mind that helps is the area of skill.

Researchers have found that the lack of skill increases

nervousness, which inhibits the flow state. So, when you can

gather and increase your skill that allows you to flow better

without thinking about it. Another inhibitor of flow is gossip

and complaining. These inhibit flow and skill. If you look at a

sport like golf, if you think about when you first start playing

golf, you have to think about all of these things to keep you left

arm straightened and keep your head down and you have to

think. It makes you stiff and you’re thinking about the

techniques and the mechanics of it, but as you increase your

skill and you get to a Tiger Woods level, then it’s just a smooth

flow when you’re not even thinking about it.

You’re just going in the motion, but yet when you’re at the

master level like Tiger and he has complete focus. When he ran

into some marital problems then his flow sate got interrupted

and he wasn’t hitting the ball. He wasn’t winning tournaments

like he was doing as the old Tiger. So, that flow state skill will

help you to reduce nervousness. Even when you look at

something like martial arts, when you first start taking it, you’ll be real stiff trying to memorize the move. When they tell you to

bend your knees and turn your arms like this, but when you get

to a level of skill of mastery, you watch some Bruce lee movies.

He’s not thinking about what he’s doing, you’ll see him come and

it’s a smooth flow.

It’s something that you can tell that it’s just a natural smooth

flow that is. You know you’re in trouble when you see this and

he’s not thinking about the techniques of it but it’s a mastery

that you can feel that he’s reached a level of skill where he can

be mindless on it and just move into this flow.

Another thing top athlete use is, especially Olympic athletes,

they will use visualization and it helps them get into a state of

flow. Before they’ll go over the high jump, they will stand there

still and imagine themselves and see the perfect jump over the

bar. Runners will see themselves jumping perfect time over

hurdles. So, it’s something that they use. Some other things

Page 11: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

that help with the state of flow mindset is the spirit of gratitude,

gratitude, and if God is flowing things through you. How many

of you like to continue to give folks stuff when they’re not

grateful for it?

The second thing is acknowledging him with it. So, again, if you

get somebody and our DNA go and take it, I know almost all

companies have that. You’ll go get a boss idea and then you

(00:23:22), this is the way we came up with here, and they don’t even mention your name. After a while, if they keep on doing it,

you say, “I’m going to keep this for myself here.” So, we can

acknowledge Him. The other thing is worship. When I worship

and I meditate on His goodness, it begins to train my mind to be

able to focus in on one thing and it draws in that presence of

God that goes with me in His presence will be with you.

The other thing is just trusting Him. Trusting Him, it allows

you to the walk in a confidence when you can trust him. And

then stillness in his presence. Once you feel his presence, just to

be still and listen and wait in his presence, it allows you to enter

this this state of flow in a much better and easier form. The

Bible says in Deuteronomy 8:18, that He gives us the power to

get wealth. Most of the time in the church, we want him to just

give us straight wealth. We don’t want to get into (00:24:22) and

we get that confused a lot of time but 99 out of a 100 people that

I know that have that wealth, God has given them the power.

He has never just dropped it in their lap. It’s a rare case on it,

but even if you look and see those rare cases, there’s other

things you can usually see in their life but he gives you the

power to get wealth, so you still have to go out and use this flow

and this power that God has given you. And even though the

Bible said the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the

righteous, you still have to use that power to go get it from the

wicked. They’re not a lot a lot of times just going to give it to

you, so it’s stored up for you but you have to use that power and

ingenuity that he gives you to go and get it from them and it is

in diligent implementation that I see Christians drop the ball a

lot of times.

00:25:08

God will give them something but it’s in the implementation

where they fall short and you still have to work it. You still

have to work it. Even as much as He’s blessed pastor and my

Page 12: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

company, we still had to work all night long in the lab when he

would give us a product idea. We would literally work all night

long in the lab to get this thing perfected. When He’s given me

an anointing with computers, but my wife would tell you, it’s

many a night where I have to stay up all night long to bring the

vision into manifestation with diligent implementation. The

church should have more creative ideas for innovation than

anyone in society, where I’ve seen in the world that they really

beat us is in that implementation. And I’ve seen mediocre ideas

with awesome implementation beat awesome ideas with

mediocre implementation. So, that’s something to keep in mind

that you have to couple with when God gives you something, you

got to couple it with hard work and with diligent careful

implementation.

Joseph in the Bible, he’s a great example of working under the

anointing. Many of you, you know his life and how God used

him even in the jail, even in (00:26:20) for his house and in

pharaohs palace, where ever he was, he had favor and God

would give him ideas. Another great example in scripture of a

regular skilled worker, that somebody who just wasn’t king or in

a leadership role like that, that was a regular skilled worker is

in Exodus 35:30 says from the NIV version, “Then Moses said to

the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the

son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the

Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge

and with all kinds of skills to make artistic designs for work in

gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood

and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts.

And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the

tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. He has filled them with

skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers,

embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and

weavers. All of them skilled workers and designers.” God, he

anointed Bezalel to use his craftsmanship to bless the entire

nation of Israel. As a matter of fact, it would be good for you to

read the next three chapters, all are dealing with the

craftsmanship of this one man. For their four chapter, 35

through 39 of Exodus all are dealing with Bezalel’s

craftsmanship, even of the Arc and the holy seat. He crafted all

of these things that God anointed the works of his hand. And I

tell you, it was purposed in him this artistic design ability and

you can look at how you are designed and it’ll give you some

insight on what you were designed to do just by observing the

way you were designed.

In the entertainment world, they use drugs and alcohol a lot of

time to assimilate God’s flow. Now, I’ll admit that weed

probably does increase your creativity a little bit. It will

probably cause you to think outside of the box a little bit. I’m

not denying that fact. Nobody amen on that now. You tell on

yourself for that. And you can look at artists as they age on,

you’ll begin to see the effects of the drug use over the years on

their body. But there is a flow that comes through our own

creativity, then there is the flow that is a creative spirit and

their creative thoughts that come out of the brain but then there

are creative thoughts that flow out of the spirit.

And there is even a flow that comes from the devil that enhances

natural abilities, but the price of operating in that flow, you’ll pay for with your very soul and it doesn’t make the world a

better place in the end. Even Kanye West, he made a song

called Eyes Closed and in it he says these words, “I sold my soul

to the devil.” That’s a crappy deal, at least it came with a few

toys like a happy meal. And if you’ll notice even the words of the

song, Jesus told you to have eyes that can see, ears that can

hear that are not closed. The song is titled eyes closed. It’s no

accident with the words and lyrics like this that years later you

see him in the news with a mental breakdown. And even

though he sold out 21 shows, have had to cancel them because

there’s an anointing that come from God and then there’s

anointing that comes from the enemy. So, you have to be

careful, they have two different paths on the end result.

00:30:05

It can look like it can make a lot of money and cause a lot of

success in the short term. But I don’t know about you, I want

something that will last and operating in the flow of God, it

improves the world and improves your health and it add riches

not only just on earth but in your heavenly bank account. And

even if you took a magnifying glass and you put it on a piece of

paper and focused it, it will begin to even cause combustion right

there on the paper. That same ability of focus with that will

cause things that have stagnated to begin to catch a fire. And

that was in 2004. It was a Ted talk speaker, Hungarian

psychologist professor and he gave the research that the brain, it

Page 14: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

can process 110 bits of information per second. And they found

that listening to someone takes 60 bits of information per

second. So, that’s why if two people are talking at the same

time, you cannot fully comprehend most of them. So they found

that even listening to music that has lyrics will begin to take

those bits per second to cause your concentration to be broken.

So, if you really need to do some deep work, some deep thinking,

then you need silence or listen to music without lyrics and you

don’t need to be looking at social media switching back and

forth. And the research has found that the ability of humans

nowadays, they say we’re better at multitasking now but our

ability to focus has been reduced in these times since the

cellphone has been created and social media. We have lost the

ability to focus and the measured it. They said our ability to

focus has dropped so low now that it’s even less than a gold fish

now. And even if it is one of the keys of even Jeff Bezos, who is

the founder of amazon.com. They say when he was a boy and

his parents had him in Montessori School, that his ability to

focus was so great that they would place him here in front of a

task and he would become so engrossed in it that they couldn’t move him. They said they would have to pick up his chair and

move it to the next activity because he would just tune

everybody out, focus in on what has to be done. So, it’s no

accident that you see him creating this e-commerce better than

everybody else as he hones in on providing the best customer

service at the best price.

And I just saw that they have Amazon Go coming where you’ll be to go in and do all of your shopping and walk out without any

cash register. So, he has focused in on a customer experience

that has caused him to have billions. Even in the state of flow

and focus, there was a janitor that work for Frito-Lay and owned

by Pepsi Cola. One day the machinery broke there making the

Cheetos and a certain batch of it didn’t get the cheese on it. So

he bagged some up and took home and began to operate in flow

and focus to say, “What can I do with this to add benefit to my

company?” And he was a Hispanic guy, and he took some of his

old spices and chili powder and put on it. And he tasted and

then found that thing tasted pretty good. So, he came back and

he called and tried to get the president and they didn’t want to

let them see him and he used flow to talk his way through the

secretary to get a meeting with the president.

Page 15: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

And he came in and he met with him. He let him taste it and he

operated in flow just as a lowly janitor without even a college

degree. I don’t even know if he finished high school, but he was

operating in a God given flow. And they took it and developed

Flaming Hot Cheetos out of it. They made him a vice president

and put him over all of the multicultural division. If you’ll just

operate in that flow and I can remember how flow it even helped

me to even pay for school. I was a teenager, I was 17 years old

and as I was about to graduate, I was going out, I had one

scholarship and I was going out by myself as a 17-year-old high

school student flying all the way to California to speak and get

the acceptance award and there was about five national

engineering scholars.

So, I was the last one and the four went before me and they

would take out their paper and they read the acceptance speech.

When I got up, an anointing came on me and I began to flow. I

didn’t take the paper out of my pocket but I began to flow in

front of all of these businessman and scientists as a 17-year-old

young man. And I told them, “I want to be an engineer not to

just build bridges but to build bridges between races and bring

people together.” And I told them, “It wasn’t a religious

audience, but I had a spiritual upbringing,” and I couldn’t talk

about Jesus up there, but I told them even your scientist

Einstein, he understood through his math that there was a

universal force that ran on through the universe, and if we can

tap into this creators source (00:35:01).

00:35:02

And I just began to talk under the anointing as a 17-year-old

young man and accepting the scholarship. And a gentleman

came up at the end and he said, “I represent another

scholarship.” He hadn’t seen my SAT score. Hadn’t seen an

essay, hadn’t seen my GPA, and he said, “I want to give you a

scholarship of another two years if you’ll come and speak at my

banquet. And the flow of that anointing, it got me half of my

whole college paid for. Then when I want to speak at has

banquet, the flow hit me again and I spoke to his audience. And

another gentleman came up to me at the end of that. He said, “I hear you want to go to Georgia Tech.” I said, “Yes, sir.” He said,

“When are you starting?” I said, “I’m starting in the fall and I

would have gone in the summer but the summer program was

booked up and I could get in.” He said, “Young man, you’ve

Page 16: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

struck something in me today.” He said, “I’m the vice president

of Georgia Tech. Call me Monday morning.” And he got me into

that program.

So, I’ve seen how flow can affect your life even from a young age.

A young age. First Timothy 4:15 from the New Living

translation says, “Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received

through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the

church laid their hands on you. Give your complete attention to

these matters.” The King James version there says to meditate

on them. Throw yourself in your task so that everyone will see

your progress. The Bible uses this term meditate 20 times in

His word. God wants us to get His word down on the inside of

us, and He knows that we can’t get it on the inside with the

divided mind.

So, the same principle of meditation of thinking on this one

thing that the Bible talks about 20 times would allow you to get

into the flow and it’s what they’re teaching the athletes, the

CEOs, the entertainers, the same thing of our word talks about.

Given us keys to get into this flow. And pastor, he operates in

this state often and even he asked the office staff not to text him

unless it is urgent but rather to email him because he recognizes

that these interruptions can cause your attention to take you out

of this state of flow.

I pray that this message has blessed your life today and I pray

that you’ll take this message. That you’ll walk in the anointing

of God. That you’ll spend time with Him, that you’ll begin to

worship Him, to meditate on His word, to begin to still your

mind to hear from your creator. That He’ll anoint you and He’ll walk with you in your workplace to give you favor among men.

To open up your mind and give you creativity and strategy and

plans that no book and no school can give you.

And we are going overtime today, but it takes time sometimes

when God wants to impart something different onto you. And

for the altar call today, I’m going to ask Previta(ph) place on

them. And Brother Miguel, if you can get a mic, even as people

come to the altar. I’m going to ask for those that you heard the

word today and you feel that God has given you some talents,

some skills, or you’re not walking in Him and flowing in Him

like you know you could. This is not a salvation call today, but

it’s for those that wanted anointing to help them get into an

Page 17: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

increased state of flow. But not just wanted anointing but you’re

going to be willing to be diligent with what God flows through

you. That you’re going to be willing to submit onto Him, to

listen and to trust Him with it.

And that’s you today, and if you wanted just to be stirred out

this flow anointing, that you take onto your business, onto your

workplace, just come to the altar. I just want to touch you today

as I walk in, and I want to impart that which He has placed

upon my life.

(Music Playing)

And He doesn’t intend for His anointing to just be used in

church. It’s the world that needs saving. He didn’t come for

those who are already well, He came for the sick. He didn’t come for the found, He came for the lost. So, we got to take it

out to the world. Flow in His anointing.

For just to make room as I touch you, you can go back to your

seats. And those in the audience, and those here, another thing

that has flow is even the flow of the Holy Spirit, even in the gift

of tongues(ph).

00:40:00

So, if you have that gift just begin to utter, receive right where

you are, just to (00:40:07). We thank you.

(Voice Overlap/Music Playing: 00:40:10 - 00:48:34)

Male: Let me tell share this with you before I take my sit. Pastor,

James and Pastor C. Elijah, Pastor Nathaniel in his absence. I

was supposed to be at another church this morning. And as

many of you know, this time of year I traveled the country

raising money for needy families, and that’s what I do. I do it all

year but especially September through January. This morning,

was one of the churches that was supposed to give me the

largest offering. And God said, “No.” And let me tell you what

God told me, Pastor James with your anointed self. I asked God,

I said, “Lord, you know I’m too far away from the arc to get there

in time. So, you going to have to let the traffic flow.”

00:50:08

Page 18: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

And so, I just flow right on in here. God said, it’s not about the

money that you were going to get for the ministry today. He

said, it’s about that blood that’s flowing in your veins. It’s called

the anointing. Two months ago, today, I sent Stephanie and

Pastor C. Elijah and Pastor James and Pastor Nathaniel, a

message I was -- They had rushed me to the hospital. They lost

me for five minutes. I told to my son, I said, when I woke up, I

said, “What is going on? Why am I in this room again?” And the

doctor came in and he said, “You were in the doctor’s office. You

brought your mother to the doctor and as I was explaining to

you what to do for your mother, you fell into my arms. But you

were in the right place at the right time.” And he said, “This is

why you’re in this intensive care unit because the people that

worked in my office needed to see a miracle. And so, God let you

live here for five minutes just so He could save them for a

lifetime.”

And so, I’m in the process momma of getting my singing voice

back. It’s not all the way back yet but it’s coming. And the more

I sing, and the more I praise, and the more I flow in the

anointing, the more God is going to give me. And Stephanie, I

thank God that there is not one thing that anybody in this room

is going through that God cannot handle. I’ve been in the

hospice three times. They gave me up momma, three times.

And I want you to know, listen, when God send you to a place,

you better go. So, when God sent me to the arc this morning, it

was so I could flow some more.

My mom’s doctor said, “I thought you were about 30 years old.” And I said, “Yeah, I was 30, 25 years ago.” But look at God. He

will renew you like the eagles, and there’s one thing that God is

asking me to tell you. Don’t let Christmas be about giving gifts.

Not the gifts that you’ve got on layaway that is. Let it be about

you sowing into the light of someone who’s not saint. Let it be

about you telling someone about the love of Jesus Christ. That’s

a gift. I want you to know that if you flow in the Holy Ghost, if

you flow in the anointing, and if you learn how to give and

forgive, God will let you live.

00:55:00

So, if you give and don’t learn how to forgive, it will still kill you.

I was praying and asking God. I said, “Lord, I need you to not

Page 19: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

let me be in a hurry to try to find a wife. I was married 20 years

and then when God saw fit to dissolve that marriage, notice I

said, God saw fit. Don’t get it twisted. Don’t go home and break

up. Sometimes, we can jump in stuff that God didn’t design for

us to be in. (00:56:05). And so, it’s been seven years now I

think, and after that second year, I was trying to get in a hurry

and find somebody myself. And when Pastor James was

preaching, I remember even those five years ago when I was in a

hurry. God said, “The anointing is too strong on you for you to

grab anybody.” And so, he has taught me how to love on Him

until she gets there.

Yeah. There’s an anointing that God will give you that will

make you comfortable by yourself. I mean, there’s nothing like

peace in your house and peace in your mind. Even if you’re

alone, there’s a difference between alone and lonely. Yeah, I

might be in the house by myself but I’m not lonely. Mother

Bronner taught me that because she has taught me so much

over the years and she probably doesn’t even remember saying

this to me. But she said, “I want you to let that go.” Because I

was holding onto some unforgiveness and my healing wasn’t taking place. And this man of God right here laid his hands on

me when I came up here one Friday night. And he doesn’t even

probably remember himself. One of the words he said was

forgiveness.

The reason I’m here this morning is because many of the

miracles that have happened in my life have happened at the

arc. And I’m so grateful to God that this Bronner family, by the

way which I’m mistaken for a lot of times, one of the Bronner

brothers. Yeah. I said, “Yeah, those are my brothers. Mother

Bronner is my mother.” I’m just so grateful that between this

church, word of faith and word of maybe love central. Those

three churches are responsible for a lot of what I do for Christ,

because those three churches believed in me when other Pastors

did. And many of those Pastors now are angry because when I

come to Atlanta, I go to the Bronner’s and they’re angry because

I don’t come to their church.

01:00:00

But I want you all to know that I love you and I appreciate you.

And that young man back there in the back with the ponytail,

yeah, what’s his name? Gerald(ph)? God’s got some good things

Page 20: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

in store for you. He’s got some things in store for you that you

hadn’t even prayed for yet. As long as you walk in the

anointing, God said closer, I want you closer to me. I want you

closer. I want you to go to bed praying and I want you to get up

praying. I want you to get up talking to God and I want you to

go to bed talking to God.

When you walk in your house, there’s going to be a new

anointing in there today. There’s something fresh that God

wants to do in you. But there are two people that you’re going to

have to get rid of to get it, and you know exactly who they are.

God said, “I’m going to give it to you as soon as you get rid of

those two people.” I can’t wait to see what God’s going to do for

you. I can’t wait.

The lady right here, wave your hand up and (01:01:49) behind

you. God wants you, the family member. There’s one in

particular that’s not saved, that you have not ministered to but

you need to, and God’s going to use you to bring them to Christ.

You know who it is? God’s going to use you, I don’t know if the

reason is distance because you haven’t spoken to them or talked

to them. But whatever that reason is, move it out of the way

and tell them about the Lord. Tell them about how He’s moved

into your life, how He’s perched into your life.

God’s about to do new things into your life when you pass that

word on. I can’t wait to hear the testimony. Halleluiah. I’m

sorry to take so much time. I love you all so much and I can’t wait to get back here again.

James Bronner: Amen. Amen. We thank Minister Miguel so much for that

awesome flowing, that he flowed this morning. And the same

message, make sure that you take it into your home as well.

That same anointing that works in the church, same anointing

that I preached about that works in the workplace, works in

your home. My wife will tell you to that the state of flow that I’ll operate in. Sometimes her phone is acting up and she will just

hold it over to me and I’ll say, “What are you doing?” She says,

“I wanted to just text you.” And she said it just started acting

right when you just touch it.

And one day she was coming out of the shower and I had taken

my shower earlier in. She went to go and grab a new towel and

God said, “No.” He said, “I want you to dry off with the towel

Page 21: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

that your husband used so the anointing that is on his life will

rub onto your life.”

So, as we equip ourselves with a stronger anointing, we ought to

go anoint our children’s pillowcases with all in, place the

anointing where they sleep. Our spouses ought to be anointed

just from us embracing them and holding them with that

anointing. It ought to be contagious for those that are close to

us. So be sure the same word that was for your workplace,

apply those same principles of focus and all of those right

mindsets to your home, your spouse, your children.

01:05:07

And you can walk in that flow even with your children. There’s

been cases even with our children when we were thinking we

needed some professional help in some areas but the flow just

causes us to see what they were going through and minister a

word that changed their lives. If you’ll just flow even in your

own home, God will show you what to do. Amen, amen, amen.

I’m going to ask Pastor Dexter(ph) if you’ll close this arc.

Pastor Dexter: Amen, amen, amen. You were so much in the spirit and it was

almost like I was listening to a radio. I have a radio piece in my

ear, but as you were speaking before you could even get worse,

God was giving it to me. Your life has been extended. And God

told me to tell you, “Let it flow.” Because everybody that you

touch and every life that you touch is going to change their

destiny for the good. Amen. Come on and give God some praise.

Halleluiah. Amen.

Encourage your neighbor on this week. Amen and some of you

don’t even know your next-door neighbor. Amen. Go to your

next-door neighbor’s house and encourage them. Amen. Give

them a smile instead of a frown. Amen. And watch God change

some situations even around your subdivision. Amen. And even

around your children. Amen. Just be obedient.

Father God, we thank you right now for your presence here

today, oh God. God, we thank you right now, God, even for just

allowing my mother, oh God, to be here today. Oh God,

strengthen her, oh God. Oh God, and thank you God for placing

a hedge around her, oh God, for the mothers in the house, oh

Page 22: BrothersofTheWordtheonlineword.com/pdf/8244.pdf · says, sir, he said, ´Something about you, you have a Creflo Dollar anointing on you. He didn ·t know me if I was a minister or

www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244

God, protect them right now. Bless them right now, God.

Deliver them whatever they stand and need of God, grant it to

them in Jesus’ name.

Oh God, for our fathers, oh God, who are in the house. Oh God,

we pray that you give them another anointing, another level, oh

God, mental, oh God, above and not beneath, oh God. To lead

their home, oh God, and to direct their wife and their children to

a better place, oh God. We thank you right now for each and

everyone here represented in this place and, oh God, we ask that

you just touch right now as we leave here but never from your

presence, oh God, as we go to and fro upon this earth.

Be with us, keep us, guide us, and lead us, oh God, not to our

own understanding but to you in wisdom and knowledge. In

Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
