When we repent for what we thought, said and did against the anointed of the LORD, the sooner things will clear up in our lives.
Pride, arrogance, religiosity, haughtiness, ego, critical, bitterness all have a way of working to get us to think, act and speak in a manner that does not line up with the language of the King and the Holy Spirit.
These attitudes will have us speaking out of presumption. These presumptuous thoughts and words can begin to work counterproductive in our lives especially when we mishandle the anointed of the Lord.
When we read in 1 Chronicles 16:22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psalm 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
He suffered (did not allow) no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes.
It had to do with the fact that Israel was on a journey and God Sovereignly protected them from harm.
He wanted His voice to be in His prophets so that they could be used to lead the people.
When we say "TOUCH NOT" this is not a pass for anything goes.
The Scriptues give a clear pattern in which to handle sin and offenses.
When we say "TOUCH NOT" in the context of understanding God is progressing His people, then we should never want to be a hindrance to the advancement of God's leaders or His children.
We think we can say and do anything and get away with it in our pride. Many individuals who do not understand spiritual principles in the Kingdom bring affliction on their own lives because of the things they feel and say about God's leaders.
When we touch these leaders, we are not just touching them.
We are touching the anointing that is on their life that came from Christ.
Even when they are in sin or in error, we must be careful what we think and what we say about them. It could open up doors where we find ourselves to be wrestling with the Lord.
It is the plan of the enemy to use our voice for his ill intentions. If he can get us to have the wrong attitude, then we will speak and change things for the worst atmospherically.
Our heart will begin to manifest words that we will later regret because we will have to eat the harvest we reap.
The enemy is the accuser of the brethern. When a different spirit works to make us critical and judgmental it works to line us up with an anti Christ spirit.
When an individual can run down the list of issues of every preacher, pastor and church leader has, but cannot see their own, they are moving by another spirit and will find themselves to fight against God.
1Ti 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
De 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
Ec 10:20 Don't curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don't curse the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.
The words we say have a way of landing before the ones we talk about. Even when we did not think they would know or hear.
I have shared before how the heavens are always listening.
Angels and devils are listening.
Ultimately, the King of kings is listening.
Mt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
The words we speak have impact now and in eternity.
When the king finds out what was said certainly it will cause challenges for the one who thought to curse them.
If we have found ourselves to be in this kind of place, there is still room to repent. God knows why we say what we say and do what we do.
Sometimes we need to ask for deliverance and healing. Whatever the reason for our actions, we will still have to handle the repercussions.
Allow mercy and grace to step in today and start a new season of sowing.
In His Love,
Jesse Griffin
