ICEBREAKER:  Where is your favorite place to take a nice relaxing walk?

 

OUTLINE:  3 Old Testament Anointings

1.    King: From a seated position on the throne the king establishes laws and makes decrees (Positive Confessions).

We act like a king when we make positive confessions over others.

2.    Priest: From a standing position the priest ministers to the Lord as a representative of the people and an intercessor.

We act like a priest when we stand in the gap (pray) for others.

3.    Prophet: From a walking position the prophet points out the direction, the counsel and the destiny of God, walking. We act life a prophet when we walk and live out the word of God.
