Summary:

It is so important in the day and time that we live in that we have an understanding of the anointing. Many people in the Church world have never heard the terminology “anointed” or “anointing”. Many of those who have heard the terminology “anointed” or “anointing” still have no idea what it is. Many have thought the anointing and talent is the same thing, they are not! Others have thought the anointing was some mystical force or something out there.The anointing, or divine enablement, removes burdens and destroys yokes. This enabling power is an outflow of the Holy Ghost through human vessels.
