Pushing Into What You Can’t See Yet

There’s a strange and beautiful moment in every believer’s life where you realise the next level God is calling you into doesn’t begin with visibility—it begins with hunger. You feel it before you see it. You sense something stirring long before anything around you changes. And somehow, you just know: I need to press in.

That pull toward God’s presence isn’t imagination or emotion. It’s the anointing at work. It’s the Spirit of God drawing you into the freedom He already designed for you.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17, ESV)

Freedom isn’t just an idea. It’s the atmosphere of God. When you draw near, the weights begin to lose their grip, the noise starts to fade, and the things that once intimidated you shrink under the brilliance of His presence. Like the old hymn says, “the things of earth grow strangely dim.”

The Seed Already Contains the Future

Jesus taught that the Word of God is a seed full of life, destiny, and potential.

Everything God has designed for your life is already inside the seed of His Word. A forest is hidden inside one seed. A destiny is hidden inside one word from God.

Jesus explained it like this:

“But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
(Mark 4:20, ESV)

Your heart is the soil. The Word is the seed. When the soil is tended, the Word grows. When the soil is neglected, even powerful seed struggles. That’s why we stay around His presence, around His people, around His Word. That’s how roots go deep.

The Anointing Within You

The anointing isn’t something external you’re trying to catch. It’s Someone internal you learn to recognise.

“But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.”
(1 John 2:27, ESV)

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you right now:

“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
(Romans 8:11, ESV)

That means the power to break fear, pressure, and heaviness doesn’t have to fall on you from the outside—it rises from within you. It flows when you yield, when you expect, when you shift your mind from flesh to Spirit.

Walking in the Spirit Clears the Fog

Condemnation clouds your awareness, not God’s presence. The moment you walk in the Spirit, clarity returns.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
(Romans 8:1, ESV)

God doesn’t take the anointing away. But when we drift into the flesh, we get distracted, foggy, overwhelmed. That’s why the daily rhythms matter—opening the Bible, praying, worshipping, choosing the Spirit again and again. It’s how we remain responsive to the One who is already living inside us.

Expectancy Releases the Flow

A minister expects the anointing when he preaches.
A believer should expect the anointing when they sit with the Word.

The same presence that moves powerfully in a service moves quietly in your living room. The same Spirit that breaks yokes in a meeting breaks fear in your mind when you’re alone.

The Battle Is the Lord’s, The Victory Is Yours

When pressure comes, we remind our souls:

“Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s.’”
(2 Chronicles 20:15, ESV)

Your job is not to fight in your own strength; your job is to yield. Your strength is not in striving; your strength is in abiding.

Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. That lightness comes from the anointing—not just the external kind we feel in power moments, but the internal One that breathes through us daily.

Love Casts Out Fear

At the core of the anointing is love.
God is love.
Love removes fear.
Fear loses power when love becomes the atmosphere of your inner world.

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
(1 John 4:18, ESV)

You weren’t created to live heavy.
You weren’t created to live intimidated.
You weren’t created to live trapped.

You were created to live anointed.

And the anointing in you is more than enough.
