(please read the entire chapter for understanding).
THOUGHT CODE: "By the anointing, you're exempted"
Yesterday, we looked at the exempting power of the anointing and how it can deliver us from the harm of the enemy (please reread yesterday's devotional for maximum understanding of today's topic).
For us to understand what Psalm 105:15 means, we have to read it in context. Psalm 105 is actually a Psalm written by David, remembering God's promise to Abraham, and thus God's people.
We know that, according to the Old Testament, God promised Abraham that He would make him the father of many nations. The Bible records that God's promise to Abraham became true in the form of Isaac, who had Jacob, from whom the nation of Israel came.
We read in Exodus and other books how Israel became a slave in Egypt, how God delivered them from slavery, and how He led them to the promised land - the same land He promised to Abraham. Their journey was marked with many challenges and trials, but the Lord was with them as He promised.
Here's where Psalm 105:14-15 comes in: "When they were few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."
From this very passage, we read that when God spoke of His "anointed ones" and His "prophets," that no one must ever touch them and no one should do them harm, He was referring to His people. He was in no way specifying a single minister or Christian. He meant everyone that belonged to Him.
With these words He meant to tell everyone that He doesn't want anybody touching or harming all of His children, not just a small group of "special" Christians. He was protecting each and every person who is called by His name, who believes in Him and follows Him.
And so, dear friends, realize that you are important to God as much as any minister is. While we are all equal in His sight, He gives us leaders who will look after us. Let's love them and see ourselves not as as inferior to them but as brothers in Christ, walking side-by-side in the Lord.
COUNSEL: Always remember that you are precious in God's sight and no harm can come to you.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I terminate every annoying thing by the anointing of your spirit upon my life. Henceforth, I refuse to be tormented or molested by the devil because I am anointed and no harm can come to me, in Jesus Name (Amen).
