The Anointing...

Isa 61:1

Anointing means to be endowed by a spirit. The Anointing is not a thing, the Anointing is a Person. The Anointing is the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the Anointing and the Holy Spirit brings power, Acts 1:8,10:38. The Anointing is not for lazy people, before God can give the his Anointing you must have a Mandate. You can't receive the Mantle without Receiving the Mandate. How do you get the Anointing? You don't get the Anointing by fasting, you get it by Praying, after the baptism of Jesus, He went to the wilderness...also you can by Anointing through Holiness.

God never gives his Anointing to a sinner except for destruction. 1Kings 19:10

The mantle is not a thing, its a responsibility. Hab 2:1-3. The man of the mantle is a man of burden. People that carry the mantle are scarce.  I King 19:19-21. Those that recognise the mantle are in the secret place, if you don't have a secret place you don't have a future. Acts 1:8. A witness is a living proof. Mantle carriers are never satisfied with the present condition. The are sensitive to the Spirit to collect the baton. Elisha responded positively to the mantle when it fell upon him. No matter what mantle has been on your head, go for discipleship and go back to the quarry site. 1John 1:5-7.
