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
www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
www.TheOnLineWord.com/mp3/8244
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
