The Holy Spirit spoke something to me, and it hit deep. He said, “When I chose you, it was because I knew you would endure the pressing, the refinement, and the consecration. I knew you would allow Me to purify you so you could walk out your purpose carrying real oil.” And I’ve noticed something in our generation that stands out: If there is no oil behind your speaking, your singing, your gifts, your posts, your ministry if the Holy Spirit isn’t backing you then the enemy doesn’t have to attack what God blessed… because he already quietly has your heart. A heart that isn’t guarded is an easy target. We live in a society that rushes the process of God. Everyone want to be seen, heard, elevated, and known before they’ve even been processed by God. But look at Jesus before He ever stepped into His ministry, He went into the wilderness. The wilderness was where He set His house in order His temple. That season established His: Purpose Identity Wisdom & Understanding Heart & Mind It was the place where His spirit became stronger than His flesh. Forty days wasn’t just about fasting it was about formation But today, many skip that part. We want platforms without preparation. We want influence without intimacy. We want visibility without the oil that only comes from being crushed in God’s presence. And that’s what pulled me even deeper into wanting to truly serve Jesus: Oil cannot be copied. You cannot imitate someone else’s anointing and expect the same fruit. You cannot do it your way and expect Heaven’s results. I learned that the harder the season, the more the devil actually fears you because you sat with God, you listened, you were purified, and you allowed Him to build you from the inside out.This is why today we see so many people being led astray by motivational speaking instead of truth and repentance.Churches operating without the Holy Spirit People who claim to walk with God but their hearts are far from Him. Because the oil wasn’t produced. The wilderness was skipped.And the foundation was never formed.
