¿Cuán a menudo le ha gritado a Dios las palabras por qué? "¿Por qué la gente no me entiende?" "¿Por qué tengo problemas?: La respuesta es: porque estás ungido.
"Solía tener la errónea noción de que cuando estás realmente ungido, no tienes más problemas o tiempos difíciles, Pero muéstrame a alguien que esté lleno del Espíritu Santo, que doble sus rodillas asiduamente, que hable en lenguas angelicales, que libere personas endemoniadas, que pose sus manos sobre los enfermos y estos sanen, que haga milagros, que cambie al mundo, que transforme mentes y realice cosas alucienantes, y te mostraré a alguien que ha sufrido noches enteras preguntándose dónde esta Dios. Pero, mis amigos, debo confesar que a pesar de todo he aprendido a confiar en Jesús. ¡A pensar de todo, he apredido a confiar en Jesús!"—T.D. Jakes.
"Por que yo sé muy bien los planes que tengo para ustedes —afirma el Señor—, planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, a fin de darles un futuro y una esperanza" (Jeremías 29:11).
Permita que este mensaje de unción, basado en Las Exrituras y en experiencias personales, lo llene de paz y tranquilidad para esa pregunta recurrente en su mente: ¿Por que?:Por causa de la unción.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Psalm 2:1-12 KJV)
The book goes into the question of why God would allow bad things to happen to good people, the anointed. Coming from the verse of Habakkuk 1:2-4,13 New International Version of the Bible and Psalm 2:1-2 Pastor T.D Jakes dwell into the question, why? It's a very powerful book and I highly recommend it for those motivated by loss and ask, why?
Ever find yourself feeling a bit like Job and wondering why you are going through? That is what I was feeling and - to be candid - because I was taught that questioning how events work within God's plan is a sign you do not trust God. Well, put your dogma in the closet (or better yet throw it out!), listen and judge for yourself.
The book opened my eyes to the possibility that God can never give up on me even if the whole world had given up on me. It is me because God has a place for me in the fulfillment of his will on earth.
Good book and definitely helped me personally to understand things that I have questioned and made me feel that it was okay to question things. However, it still left me wanting more as if there was something missing but I just could not place my finger on it.
The most amazing book to explaining why the journey is what it is in Christ. Much revelation given to back up what has already been revealed through the Holy Spirit.
I CHOSE THIS BOOK BECAUSE THIS IS WERE I was in this part of my life. I was questioning God with the very same question with why? This book help me to realize something's and to begin refocusing my circumstances. if you really want to get answer to all the why's read this book.
This book puts things into perspective. It touches on why God allows major things to transpire to Christians.......while otherd seem to be not suffering. It spoke to me in my daily life, and caused you to realize the importance of perserverance and trust in God.
The words of God is so rich and powerful, it transformed us by the renewing of our minds in Christ Jesus. Bishop Jakes thanks for penning this wonderful book that reminded me that I am anointed. My soul is blessed.
This a must read book for God's children who lives in obscurity and are not elevated when they have the goods. Stay faithful to God and He will elevate you ALL BY HIMSELF. I love that patience is a action word. Read the book to get this concept.
I have struggled for a long time because I have so many physical and mental health problems that seem to hold me back. This book gave me a fresh perspective on why I am going through so much.
Profound insights abound & relatable parables to help comprehend the applications. With deep understanding & compassion, Bishop Jakes unwraps perspectives on being Anointed.
