The book of Acts records the beginning of a charismatic community. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon a small band of believers sparks a revival that gradually turns the world upside down. These early Christians are radically committed to Christ, and they proclaim the Good News of His life, death, and resurrection with great zeal.

In a recent conference I attended in Atlanta, GA I sat and listened to a successful entrepreneur talk about the struggles she had with the church after her conversion experience. She shared how much of a challenge it was trying to serve and help the local church because she operated in business a certain way that caused her to be successful while she noticed the church often operated in a much slower and less productive manner.

In the body of Christ we primarily associate the anointing with the ministry of preaching. This is a huge misconception because the anointing is not only for preaching or to enable us to operate in spiritual gifts. The anointing of God is the enabling power of God given by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of fulfilling the assignment God has entrusted to us.
