Part 3: The Difference between Gifting and Anointing

- Introduction: Explaining the difference between gifting and anointing and their significance in our spiritual journey.

- Unpacking the concept: Helping listeners understand how gifting refers to natural talents and abilities, while anointing is God's supernatural power and enablement.

- Recognizing the impact of God's development process: Discuss how God cultivates our anointing by refining our character, growing our faith, and teaching us dependence on Him.

- Key takeaway: Embracing God's development process and honoring the Anointing, rather than relying on worldly achievements or seeking quick validation.


  • Anointing is empowered by the weakness of self. Gifting is empowered by the strength of self. The Lord’s power works best through those who have placed their total dependence on His Spirit. Our gifts work best when we actively cultivate and master them. God loves working with minimum to produce maximum. The more we surrender, the more space He has to fill.
  • The Anointing is not 'an energy, a vibration or impersonal force", it is the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a Supernatural Being who has emotions.
  • 'Our gift will take us places our character can't keep us. - Eric Thomas'
    • A.N.T. - A Tool for Discernment. 
      • Audit of your character. 
      • Name of Jesus exalted above their own. 
      • Time in His Presence. 
      • Oil, is the difference. (See Matthew 25)
