ANOINTING OF UNUSUAL GRACE & other sermon notes

1). ANOINTING OF UNUSUAL GRACE

I hear the Spirit of God declaring that God is releasing unusual grace over your life, and this is grace that operates beyond the normal patterns, defies natural expectations, and accomplishes in moments what would normally take years. Unusual grace is resting on you now, saturating your life with supernatural favor, divine empowerment and extraordinary provision that will cause you to experience breakthrough, advancement and acceleration that cannot be explained by human effort or natural circumstances. Timelines are accelerating, processes are shortening, and results are coming together quickly because the hand of God is moving on your behalf with unusual speed, unusual power and unusual effectiveness. The Lord is reminding you that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you (Ephesians 3:20), and the unusual grace being released is the evidence of God doing exceedingly abundantly beyond what you could have imagined, hoped for, or anticipated. This is grace that multiplies your efforts, accelerates your progress and brings together in days what would normally take months or years. The grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 1:14), and the abundance of grace that is resting on you is exceedingly, overwhelmingly and undeniably supernatural. God is declaring that movement is happening in your favour, and the shift that is taking place is rapid, decisive, and unstoppable. Just as the children of Israel prepared for forty years to enter the promised land but crossed the Jordan River in one day (Joshua 3:14-17) and just as Joseph went from prison to palace in a single day (Genesis 41:14), the unusual grace upon your life is compressing timelines, collapsing waiting periods and bringing you into the fullness of what God has promised faster than you expected. The threshing floor will overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it (Amos 9:13), and this is the season of supernatural acceleration where the harvest comes before the planting is finished and the breakthrough arrives before the process is complete. The Lord is saying that the grace that makes men rich and adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22) is the unusual grace resting on you and the results that are coming together quickly are free from the stress, the anxiety, and the struggle that often accompany human achievement. This is divine favor doing for you what you could never do for yourself, opening doors that you never knocked on, creating opportunities that you never pursued and positioning you for success that you never manufactured. By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8), and the unusual grace being released is the gift of God that gives you access, advancement, and accomplishment beyond your natural ability. The Lord is reminding you that the favor of the Lord rests upon you like a shield (Psalm 5:12), and the unusual grace that is covering your life is protecting you from delay, shielding you from opposition, and accelerating you past every obstacle that would normally slow you down. Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear (Isaiah 65:24), and the unusual grace upon your life means that God is answering prayers before you finish praying them, opening doors before you finish knocking, and releasing provision before you finish asking because His grace is moving with unusual speed and unusual power on your behalf. This is your season of unusual grace where timelines are accelerating, processes are shortening, and results are coming together quickly. Receive the grace, walk in the favor, and give God the glory for the movement that is happening in your favor. The unusual grace is resting on you now. God is releasing unusual grace over your life. Timelines are accelerating, processes are shortening, and results are coming together quickly. Movement is happening in your favor. The unusual grace of God is doing exceedingly abundantly beyond what you could ask or think and breakthrough is coming faster than you expected.

2). FAVOUR THAT CHANGES YOUR STORY I hear the Spirit of God declaring that favour that changes your story is being released over your life, and a defining shift is happening that will alter the trajectory of your future, rewrite the narrative of your past, and establish a new chapter that will testify to the goodness and the faithfulness of God. Patterns are breaking, outcomes are turning, and your story is moving in a new direction, and this is the season where what has been written about you in the chronicles of heaven is manifesting in the earth and your story is being rewritten by the hand of God with favour, blessing, and divine intervention that will leave an undeniable mark on your life and on the lives of those who come after you. The Lord is reminding you that Esther obtained favour in the sight of all who saw her, and the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins, so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen (Esther 2:15-17). The favour that Esther received changed her entire story from orphan to queen, from obscurity to influence, from mourning to celebration, and the same favour that changed Esther’s story is being released over your life to change your story from poverty to abundance, from sickness to health, from rejection to acceptance, from failure to success, and from limitation to limitless possibilities. God is declaring that this moment carries lasting impact, and the shift that is happening right now is permanent, significant, and generational. The favour you are receiving is creating a new narrative that will be told for years to come, establishing a testimony that will inspire faith in others, and setting a new standard in your family line that will position future generations for blessing. Ruth found favour in the field of Boaz, and that favour changed her story from widowhood to marriage, from poverty to provision, from being a foreigner to being part of the lineage of Jesus Christ (Ruth 2:10-13; Matthew 1:5). The favour that changes your story carries the power to position you in places you never imagined, connect you with people who will become covenant relationships, and open doors that will lead to generational blessing. The Lord is saying that patterns are breaking, which means that the cycles of disappointment, the repetition of failure, the routine of struggle, and the familiarity of limitation are being shattered by divine favour that interrupts the normal course of events and introduces supernatural outcomes. Joseph’s story was marked by rejection, betrayal, false accusation, and imprisonment, but favour changed his story in one day when Pharaoh called him out of the dungeon, set him over all the land of Egypt and positioned him to save nations (Genesis 41:14-44). The favour that is coming to you will change your story in a single moment, in a single conversation, in a single decision, and in a single encounter that will shift everything. The Lord is reminding you that your latter end will be greater than your beginning (Job 42:12), and the story that God is writing in this season will surpass everything you experienced in previous seasons. The turning of outcomes means that what looked like defeat is becoming victory, what appeared to be loss is becoming gain, what seemed to be the end is becoming a new beginning and what felt like rejection is becoming divine redirection that positions you for favour, blessing and lasting impact that will change your story forever. This is your season of favour that changes your story. Receive the shift, embrace the new direction, and prepare to walk into a story that will testify to the power of God’s favour and the faithfulness of His promises. The patterns are breaking, the outcomes are turning, and your story is being rewritten by the hand of God. Favour that changes your story is being released over your life. A defining shift is happening… patterns are breaking, outcomes are turning, and your story is moving in a new direction. This moment carries lasting impact, and God is rewriting your story with favour, blessing and divine intervention.

3). THE SON IS SETTING YOU FREE I hear the Spirit of God declaring that you are coming out of generational bondage, and the chains that have held your family captive for generations are being broken by the power of the cross and the authority of the name of Jesus. The patterns of addiction, the cycles of poverty, the strongholds of fear, the curses of divorce, the spirits of infirmity and the demonic assignments that have plagued your bloodline for decades are being demolished in this season because God has raised you up as a cycle breaker, a covenant keeper and a deliverer who will walk in freedom and establish a new spiritual legacy for the generations that come after you. The Lord is reminding you that if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36), and the freedom that Jesus purchased for you on the cross is complete, total, and permanent freedom from every generational curse, every ancestral covenant, and every demonic stronghold that has operated in your family line. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” (Galatians 3:13), and the redemption that Jesus accomplished on the cross includes deliverance from every curse that was passed down through your family, every iniquity of the fathers that was visited upon the children and every demonic pattern that has repeated itself from generation to generation. God is declaring that He is setting you free from the power of darkness and conveying you into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom you have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). The generational bondage that held your ancestors in captivity has no legal right to hold you because you have been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light and the blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all unrighteousness and broken every covenant that was made with darkness in previous generations. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus and old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17), and the old generational patterns, the old family curses, and the old demonic assignments have passed away because you are a new creation with a new identity, a new destiny and a new spiritual inheritance. Jesus bore your iniquities and carried your sorrows on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-5). The sins of your ancestors, the covenants they made with darkness, the altars they built to false gods and the doors they opened to demonic powers are being shut, sealed and destroyed by the blood of Jesus and you are walking in freedom that your parents never experienced, in blessing that your grandparents never received and in authority that your ancestors never possessed because you are the generation that breaks the cycle and establishes a new pattern of righteousness. The Lord is reminding you that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17), and the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, breaking every yoke, demolishing every stronghold, and setting you free from every form of generational bondage. The yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil (Isaiah 10:27), and the anointing upon your life is destroying the yokes of addiction, poverty, fear, sickness, divorce, and every other generational curse that has tried to define your family. You are anointed to walk in freedom, to establish righteousness in your bloodline, and to create a spiritual legacy that will bless your children, your grandchildren, and the generations that come after you. I wrote a book that will help you walk this journey This is your season of coming out of generational bondage. The chains are breaking, the curses are being reversed, the strongholds are being demolished, and you are walking in freedom that will transform your family line for generations to come. Stand firm in the freedom Christ has given you, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1). You are coming out of generational bondage. The chains that held your family captive for generations are breaking by the power of the cross. Christ has redeemed you from every curse, and you are walking in freedom that will establish a new spiritual legacy for the generations that come after you.

4). UNDERSTANDING GENERATIONAL CURSES Someone is reading this and they have been sick in the same way their mother was sick. The same diagnosis. The same organ. The same age of onset. The doctors call it genetics. The church calls it God's will. I want to offer you a different framework, because Jesus did not agree with either of those conclusions when He stood before the woman who had been bent over for eighteen years. He called her a daughter of Abraham. He said she ought to be loosed. And He loosed her on the spot. The word ought carries the sense of a right, something she was entitled to by virtue of her covenant identity. The eighteen years were not God's plan for her body. They were an illegal occupation of her covenant territory by a spirit of infirmity that had found legal access. When the legal access was addressed by the authority of the Son of God, the occupation ended immediately. Luke 13:16 says exactly this: So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath? Your healing ought to happen. Your freedom ought to happen. The question is whether there is a legal access point in your bloodline that is giving the enemy grounds to maintain the occupation. I know what it is to carry sickness and cycles that should not belong to me. I know what it is to pray and still not see freedom. And I know what it is to have God take you to the root and pull it up from there and watch the symptoms stop. Isaiah 53:5 says that by His stripes we are healed. That healing was purchased. It belongs to you. But it must be appropriated at the address where the enemy is holding it. The digital Book 1 of the Breaking the Chain series “THE SINS OF THE FATHERS” gives you the map to find that address. just say “IT STOPS WITH ME” ...

5). FEET  ORDAINED TO CROSSOVER I hear the Spirit of God declaring that your feet are being ordained to cross over and He is saying to you what He said to Joshua when He commanded, “Arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them” (Joshua 1:2). The season of waiting on the banks, the season of looking at the promise from a distance, the season of dreaming about what could be on the other side is ending, and God is commanding you to arise and cross over into the territory that He has already given to you. Your feet are ordained by God to cross over into new territories, new assignments, new levels of authority and new dimensions of blessing that have been waiting for you on the other side. The Lord is reminding you that every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, He has given you (Joshua 1:3), and the crossing over that God is calling you to is not passive or theoretical but it is active and practical. You must put your feet on the ground, step into the water, walk across the boundary and take possession of what God has promised. When the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stepped into the Jordan River, the waters stopped flowing and stood up in a heap, and the people crossed over on dry ground (Joshua 3:15-17). The miracle did not happen until their feet touched the water, and in the same way, the breakthrough you are waiting for will not manifest until you take the step of faith and cross over into the place God is calling you to. God is declaring that your feet are ordained to cross over, which means that this is not just a good idea or a hopeful possibility but it is a divine decree that has been established in heaven and is now being released on earth. Just as Caleb said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30), God is giving you the boldness, the courage, and the faith to cross over into the land that others have been afraid to enter. The opposition is real, the giants are there, the walls are fortified, but your feet are ordained to cross over and to take possession of what belongs to you because God has already given it to you and no enemy can stop what He has ordained. The Lord is saying that the crossing over is spiritual, relational, financial and purposeful. You are crossing over from poverty into abundance, from sickness into health, from confusion into clarity, from delay into acceleration, from limitation into expansion, and from the wilderness into the promised land. This is the season to submit that job application you have been holding back, to register that business you have been dreaming about, to have that difficult conversation you have been avoiding, to enroll in that course you thought you were too old for, to apply for that position you thought was out of reach, to move to that city God has been speaking to you about, or to step into that ministry assignment you have been running from. Your feet are ordained to cross over and when you take the step, God will make the way. This is your season to arise and cross over. The promise is waiting, the land is ready, and your feet are ordained to walk into the fullness of everything God has prepared for you. Do not let fear hold you back, do not let doubt paralyze you and do not let the enemy convince you to stay on the wrong side of the river when God is commanding you to cross over. Your feet are ordained to cross over. God is calling you to arise and step into the territory He has given you. The season of waiting is over… take the step, cross over, and possess the land. Every place your foot treads, God has given to you.

6). DIVINE ALIGNMENT AND PURPOSE I hear the Spirit of God declaring that you are entering a season of divine alignment and purpose and He is repositioning you, recalibrating your relationships, redirecting your steps, and realigning every area of your life with the purposes He established for you before the foundation of the world. God is bringing order out of chaos, clarity out of confusion, and purpose out of aimlessness, and what has felt scattered, disconnected and random is being aligned by the hand of God into a cohesive plan that will fulfill His purposes and bring glory to His name. The Lord is reminding you that He knows the thoughts He thinks toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11), and the alignment He is bringing in this season is not random or accidental but it is intentional, purposeful and designed to position you in the exact place where His plans for your life can be fulfilled. You are not wandering aimlessly through life without direction or purpose, but you are being strategically aligned by the God who ordered your steps before you were born and who is now bringing you into alignment with the destiny He has prepared for you. God is declaring that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way (Psalm 37:23), and the divine alignment you are experiencing is the evidence that God is ordering your steps, directing your path and ensuring that every connection, every opportunity, and every assignment you receive is perfectly timed and perfectly positioned to fulfill His purposes. The people you are meeting, the doors that are opening, the invitations you are receiving, and the opportunities that are presenting themselves are not coincidences but they are divine alignments orchestrated by the hand of God to bring you into the fullness of your purpose. The Lord is saying that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10), and the season of divine alignment is bringing you into the good works that God prepared for you before you were born. You are not searching for your purpose as if it is hidden or lost, but you are stepping into the purpose that has been waiting for you all along, and the alignment God is bringing is removing every distraction, every detour, and every obstacle that has kept you from walking in the fullness of what He created you to do. This is your season of divine alignment and purpose where God is repositioning you, realigning your relationships and directing your steps into the perfect will of God. Walk in obedience, trust His timing, and receive the alignment that is bringing you into the fullness of everything He has prepared for you. You are entering a season of divine alignment and purpose. God is ordering your steps, repositioning you, and aligning every area of your life with His plans. The connections, opportunities, and assignments you are receiving are divinely orchestrated to bring you into the fullness of your purpose.

7). I AM GOD YOUR HEALER I hear the Spirit of God declaring that He is the Lord who heals you, and He is saying, “I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26). God is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, and He is releasing healing over your life in this season… healing for your body, healing for your mind, healing for your emotions, healing for your relationships and healing for your spirit. The healing that God is bringing is not limited to physical ailments alone, but it extends to every broken place, every wounded area and every damaged part of your life that has been waiting for the touch of the Great Physician. The Lord is saying that He will heal certain things naturally and spiritually as you flow in His plan, which means that the healing you receive is connected to your obedience, your alignment with His purposes and your willingness to follow the path He has laid out for you. When the children of Israel obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and did what was right in His sight, when they gave ear to His commandments and kept all His statutes, God promised that He would put none of the diseases on them which He had brought on the Egyptians, for He is the Lord who heals them (Exodus 15:26). Your healing is released as you walk in obedience to God’s Word, as you align your life with His will, and as you flow in the plan He has designed specifically for you. God is reminding you that “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalm 107:20), and the Word of God that you speak over your body, your mind and your circumstances carries the power to heal, restore, and deliver you from everything that has been destroying your health and your peace. By His stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24), and the healing that Jesus purchased for you on the cross is not a future promise that you hope to receive one day, but it is a present reality that you can walk in right now as you receive it by faith and declare it over your life. The Lord is declaring that some things will be healed naturally as you follow the practical wisdom He gives you… through proper rest, proper nutrition, proper exercise, proper medical care and proper stewardship of your body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Other things will be healed spiritually as you address the root issues… unforgiveness, bitterness, fear, anxiety, trauma and generational curses… that have opened the door to sickness, disease and torment. A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones (Proverbs 17:22), and the healing of your spirit, your emotions, and your mind will often manifest as healing in your physical body because the spirit, soul, and body are connected and what affects one affects the other. This is your season of healing where God is restoring what has been broken, mending what has been damaged and making whole what has been fractured. Flow in His plan, walk in obedience to His Word and receive the healing that He has already provided for you through the finished work of Jesus Christ. God is your healer. He is releasing healing over your body, mind, emotions and spirit. As you flow in His plan and walk in obedience to His Word, He will heal certain things naturally and spiritually. By His stripes you were healed… receive the healing that belongs to you.

8). YOU ARE THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST I hear the Spirit of God declaring that you are the fragrance of Christ and He is saying, “Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14). God is not leading you into defeat, discouragement or disappointment, but He is always leading you in triumph, and everywhere you go, the fragrance of Christ that you carry is being released into the atmosphere, shifting the spiritual climate, drawing people to the knowledge of God and making an impact that goes far beyond what you can see or measure. You are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing (2 Corinthians 2:15), and your presence carries the aroma of heaven that brings life to some and conviction to others. The Lord is reminding you that you are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, and the fragrance you carry is not something you manufacture or produce in your own strength, but it is the natural overflow of your relationship with Jesus, your time in His presence, and your surrender to His purposes. Just as Mary broke the alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard and poured it on Jesus’ head, and the fragrance filled the whole house (Mark 14:3; John 12:3), the fragrance of your worship, your devotion, and your sacrifice is filling every place you enter and leaving a lasting impact on everyone you encounter. God is declaring that wherever you go, you are diffusing the fragrance of His knowledge, which means that you are spreading the awareness of who God is, what He has done, and what He is doing in the earth. You do not need to preach a sermon to every person you meet, but simply by being present, by walking in the authority and the anointing that God has placed upon you, by carrying the presence of God wherever you go, you are releasing the fragrance that draws the hungry closer to God and causes the resistant to be confronted with the reality of His existence and His power. The Lord is saying that this fragrance is the sweet aroma of obedience, sacrifice, and worship that rises to the throne of God and pleases Him. Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma (Ephesians 5:2), and when your life is marked by love, sacrifice, and obedience to God, you become a living fragrance that brings honor to His name and draws others into the knowledge of His goodness. You are not just living for yourself, but you are living as a carrier of the presence of God, and everywhere you go, the fragrance of Christ is being released through you. This is your season to walk in the awareness that you are the fragrance of Christ, and that God is always leading you in triumph and using you to diffuse the knowledge of Him in every place. You carry the aroma of heaven, and your presence makes a difference in every room you enter, every conversation you have and every life you touch. You are the fragrance of Christ. God always leads you in triumph, and through you He diffuses the knowledge of Him in every place. You carry the aroma of heaven, and your presence releases the fragrance that draws people to God and shifts spiritual atmospheres wherever you go.
