I HAVE TO SAY THIS TO HELP SOME OF YOU: When I gave my life to CHRIST, I assumed that everyone in the Body was different than the people in the world. I thought everyone got along, and when I saw someone operating against another believer, I assumed they had a devil. It took years for me to finally give up on myself and finally start doing what GOD designed me to do, and I still had that perception because I had gotten saved (at first), but my mind had not yet been renewed (I fought long and hard to keep it). When I began to operate in my design, I began to see things I could never unsee. I saw behaviors that broke my heart, and I remember one day, I went before the LORD about what I was experiencing. I was meeting people who were leaders, and at first, all was well. We got along, loved on each other, and everything seemed CHRIST-like. But then....I got promoted again and again and again....and their behaviors began to change. Each time, I questioned whether Id said something off or did something wrong to offend them...but nothing. I would go into my memory bank and just look for answers, revisit conversations, reread emails....you name it...absolutely NOTHING. Confusion turned to hurt, and hurt turned to frustration; nevertheless, I couldnt stop operating in my design. I had to keep moving forward. One day, the LORD said something to me that changed my life. HE said, You have a Joseph anointing. I didnt know what that meant, so I went and reread the story of Joseph. With that anointing, you are often promoted in front of people who feel that theyve been a son or daughter longer than you, you dont deserve to be blessed like that, and youre high-minded because you dont apologize for being blessed. I questioned what I heard GOD say, so HE sent two other Prophets whom I didnt know to confirm it. As I began to understand the LORD more, I stopped worrying about who didnt like me, why they didnt like me or what Id done to offend them. I started worrying ONLY about being about my FATHERS business. Since then, Ive met quite a few people who have that very same anointing, and our stories are similar. But of course, there is a message in this for you. Even within the church, there is division....and many people experience church hurt because of members and leaders who dont know how to work with people who are called to walk on their level or at a greater level. This sounds prideful...but I got GODS backing when I say...Its not. Its the truth. Thats why you have to be careful who you submit yourself to in the church realm. Some people are truly anointed, but they just dont know how to stop acting like Saul anytime a David arises. So...if youre different, and you dont fit in....be who GOD called you to be and stand out! You were created the way you are created for a purpose, but there are so many Josephs and Davids out there whove stopped doing the will of GOD to fit into some man or some womans perception of who they are and who they should be. I no longer apologize for being blessed, and neither should you.
