Summary: 2 Corinthians 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
Many times these islanders have seen the horrible deaths that had resulted because of the poison of this vipers bite. As soon as they see this viper hanging on Paul’s hand, they forecast his death.
I want to stop here and tell you, there are some people around you, that know that you’ve been going through something, and they know the devil has attacked you, and right now they’re forecasting your death. This might shock some of you, but there are some people around you that are happy you got bit. They are taking pleasure in your pain, they want to see you cry.
I’m reminded of Josephs brothers who threw him in a pit and left him there to die, and sat down on the side of the pit and had lunch. They laughed and entertained themselves listening to Josephs cries for help. It was because he was Anointed.
There are some people around you that are enjoying your pain, they are glad you got bit, they’re saying things like. I knew they weren’t going to make it, I knew that marriage wouldn’t last, I knew they couldn’t afford that house.
I knew they would never make it in ministry.
I knew they weren’t qualified for that job.
I knew their children were going to end up on drugs or in prison. Then they say things like: Who do they think they are anyway?
They should have just settled down like the rest of us, they should have just been satisfied with what they had. They shouldn’t have ever started that soul winning campaign, and they, for sure, shouldn’t have started that building program.
They should have just stayed in the boat with the rest of us, and, what’s all this nonsense about blessings and promotions, and walking on the water and healing the sick and working miracles.
They watched Paul, expecting him to die.
But he disappointed them (he didn’t die)
Can I just prophesy to you right now?
(you’re getting ready to disappoint some people)
There are some people that already had you dead, they prophesied your death, they wrote your epitaph, and they celebrated your loss.
Look at somebody and tell them: I’m not dead.
Now tell somebody else: There’s no expiration date on my anointing. Now tell somebody else: I’m more anointed now than ever.
I’m not saying I’ll never be bit again, or I’ll never fight another battle, or I’ll never cry another tear, or I’ll never spend another sleepless night, but: (I beat that devil) because I’m Anointed.
Come on, shout it out: I’m Anointed.
Somebody needs to take about 30 seconds and give God some praise that you beat that devil.
I’m talking to somebody, you’re going through the fire right now, you’re under attack right now.
Sickness has attached itself to you. Debt has attached itself to you. Fear has attached itself.
Family problems latched on, Marriage problems have attached themselves to you. And right now the devil is pumping out his poison trying to take you out. Trying to kill you, Trying to stop you.
