Your calling will crush you
before it anoints you.
The pressure is not punishment.
It is preparation.
From Beauty for Ashes
Your calling is going to crush you.
If you're called to mend the brokenhearted, you're going to wrestle with broken-heartedness. If you're called to prophesy, you're going to struggle to control your mouth. If you're called to lay hands, you will battle spiritual viruses. If you are called to preach and to teach the gospel, you will be sifted for the wisdom that anoints your message. If you are called to empower, your self-esteem will be attacked, your successes will be hard-fought. Your calling will come with cups, thorns and sifting that are necessary for your mantle to be authentic, humble and powerful. Your crushing won't be easy because your assignment is not easy. Your oil is not cheap.
- Oil does not come without pressure
- Authority does not come without surrendder
- Fruit does not come without dying to self
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit
Luke 22:31-32 Satan has asked to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you
