Why? Because You Are Anointed

by T.D. Jakes

Why? Why? Why? How often have you cried out to God, “Why?” “Why don’t people understand me?” “Why do I struggle?” “Why do I have problems?” The Because you are anointed! Best-selling author T.D. Jakes writes, “I used to have the wrong notion that when you are really anointed, you no longer have problems or rough times. But you show me anybody who’s really Holy Ghost, knee-jerking, tongue-talking, casting-out-demons, laying-hands-on-the-sick, miracle-working, world-changing, mind-transforming, mind-boggling, head-straightening anointed, and I’ll show you somebody who cried in the middle of the night and suffered all night long, wondering where is God. But, my friends, I have to confess that through it all I have learned to trust in Jesus. Through it all, I’ve learned to trust in God.” “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). Bishop T.D. Jakes continually ministers hope and healing to hurting people worldwide. Allow his message of anointing, based on Scripture and personal experiences, to wash over you with peace and quiet your questioning mind. Why? Because you’re anointed!

The book addresses how when faced with challenges we question God. The truly anointed will face troubles, difficulties, and challenges, but we can find hope through each personal experience. It is important to trust God, rest in him, and focus on receiving his anointing in our lives. The author revealed that how God places certain things in us that must come out. He emphasized the fact that "God empowers whomever he employs."
