What lanes is God's anointing on? We first humble ourselves and come to Jesus with our afflictions. Let Jesus heal your heart from any bitterness and life long afflictions or loss. After you receive that connection and rest run towards this lane of sharing the good news to those afflicted, set the trapped free, lead those who keep falling into their prisons of lies or shame out into freedom, and morn with those who have lost. Ted Hanson released a new prophetic word Sunday speaking into the season we are in now... "Good news is going to sweep the nations, says the Spirit of Life! But not in a rising up – in a standing up. That the arms can reach out, that the hands can be those who bring life because the connection between the feet and the hands is the heart and I'm healing the bitter places this Day, says God.
