How to qualify for the Anointing
It’s one thing knowing how to operate in the anointing, but you can’t unless you’ve first “qualified” for the anointing. What must you do in order to qualify for the anointing? Here are seven things that must be present:
(1) You must be humble. Proverbs 16:19 says, “Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.” Proverbs 29:23 states, “A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honour.” Basically, to be humble means to be submissive - in submission. It means taking your authority, success, power, talents and independence and yielding them to God. It is the act of deliberately stepping down in order to look upward - to where your help comes from.
If you are going to enjoy the success that the anointing brings you, you will have to remain humble. By humbling yourself and allowing the Holy Spirit to exalt you, you demonstrate the right attitude. An attitude that’s pleasing to God. James 4:6 tells us that God resists (opposes) the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. Humility and grace are a perfect match, and the anointing flourishes in such an environment.
