Anointing: God given right to do something with the full backing of God.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans that I have for you"

Even the enemy sees the plans God has for you. The problem is sometimes we don't see what we can do.

Q: When are we going to see what God has for us?

Three Steps to be plugged in

1. I have to commit my life by faith to Jesus Christ. After doing so you have the right to the resources of Christ.

2.Live within the boundary lines of God's Word.

3. Live within the resources for God's Will for your life. To commit my life to God's Will for my life means to depend upon God's resources to accomplish God's Will for your life.

Romans12:2

The bridge from where you are and Kingdom living is renewing of our minds. Until we are renewed by thw Word of God, we can't even understand the power of God.

If you want your life to change, you must change your response to the Word of God.

Matthew 13: 19-23
If you look at this as the stages of life (and not different people) you can consider the following:

1st stage is when one hears the word, but doesn't understand. At this stage a person doesn't understand how to practically apply the Word. You can't do what you don't understand. Matthew 13:19

2nd stage is when someone does the Word and it doesn't work so he or she stops. Matthew 13:20-1

3rd stage is when someone received the Word and attempts to mix it with the best of the world and still no results. Matthew 13:22

4th stage is when someone hears the Word, understands it. They recieve the Word and keep it. When you plug into the Word and abide in it, then you bare fruit.

2 kings 4:1-7

7 things to make the Word work when you go to church:
1. Always take notes
2. When you get home review those notes
3. Try to find one nugget of info from the notes that will stick with you
4. Compile a list of those nuggets
5. Meditate on those nuggest daily until the Holy Ghost speaks
6. Just do it!
