About the book
The Anointing is, in the Apostle's own words, a survival manual: the mentorship he would give you if you were sitting in front of him, from the first thing you need to know about the anointing to the last. He writes because good people are destroyed when they lack knowledge, and because a diviner dressed as a prophet once nearly led him away from his own calling.
In five parts it answers five questions: what the anointing is and who can carry it; which of the seven anointings is on you; where your anointing works and where it will not; what is coming against it, from the spirit of divination to the hands laid on your head; and how you keep it to the end.
You will not pray your way into something you have never been taught to understand.
Written for
- Believers who have sought the anointing their whole lives without ever being told what it is
- Ministers and servants of God who must tell the genuine from the counterfeit
- Anyone serious about serving God, and the battles that come with it

Full outline
Part1
The Oil and the Vessel
What the anointing is, how it comes, and the vessel that must hold it.
- 01What Is the Anointing?The anointing defined as divine empowerment, not an emotion, and how it comes through the Holy Spirit.
- 02The Oil in Scripture: From Aaron's Head to YoursWhat the word anoint means, the oil God Himself formulated, and the line from Aaron's head to yours.
- 03How the Anointing Comes Upon a LifeThe four ways Scripture shows the oil arriving on a life, and why it is not caught by attending.
- 04The Diversity of AnointingsWhy your anointing may look nothing like your pastor's: one anointer, one anointing, different purposes.
- 05The Vessel: Character, Brokenness and Dying to SelfThe vessel: why a fallen minister was really anointed, and why the oil rests on a man longer than his character holds.
Part2
The Seven Anointings
The seven anointings of Isaiah 11:2, one by one.
- 06The Seven AnointingsCorrecting the idea of one generic anointing: the seven anointings Isaiah names.
- 07The Spirit of the Lord: Lordship and LeadershipThe Spirit of the Lord as its own anointing: lordship, leadership and dominion given by God.
- 08The Spirit of Wisdom: Seeing as God SeesKnowledge is information and wisdom is applying it rightly: the Spirit of wisdom.
- 09The Spirit of UnderstandingWhy wisdom and understanding are two words and not one: the Spirit of understanding.
- 10The Spirit of Counsel: The Anointing to GuideCounsel without might is empty advice: the anointing to guide.
- 11The Spirit of Might: The Anointing to AccomplishThe Spirit of might: supernatural strength to accomplish what flesh cannot.
- 12The Spirit of Knowledge: Divine Insight and DiscernmentThe Spirit of knowledge: defined insight that exposes a hidden reality.
- 13The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord: The Foundational AnointingThe anointing every believer must have: why the fear of the Lord keeps the other six from becoming weapons.
Part3
Your Jurisdiction
Where your anointing works: jurisdiction, placement, leadership and faithfulness.
- 14Your Anointing Defines Your JurisdictionWhy God limits your anointing to your jurisdiction, to protect you from yourself.
- 15Obedience to Placement: Why Position Releases PowerPlacement as a switch: why a gift struggles in the wrong location, assignment or office.
- 16The Right Leadership Above YouThe switch above your head: the leadership above you, and the believer accountable to no one.
- 17The Shepherd Anointing: Your Church Is Not for EveryoneWhy not every church is your church, and not every congregation is right for every pastor.
- 18Every Service Is an AnointingThere is a place you are needed in the body of Christ: every service is an anointing.
- 19Success Redefined: Faithfulness, Not SizeSuccess redefined: why size is a wrong metric, and what faithfulness measures instead.
Part4
The Counterfeit and the War
Divination, the war against servants of God, and the anointing as protection.
- 20The Spirit of DivinationThe spirit of divination: the most dangerous weapon against sincere believers, because it looks exactly like the real thing.
- 21Divination and True ProphecyThe razor-thin line between the word of knowledge and divination, and how to tell them apart.
- 22Protected VesselsReal stories of the destructive power of divination and the protecting power of the anointing.
- 23Guard Your Head: Who Lays Hands on You MattersWhy who lays hands on your head matters, and the culture of hands laid hastily.
- 24Why Servants of God Face OppositionWhy ministry is a battle zone, and why sincere people fall when nobody told them.
- 25The Targets of Satan's AttackWho around a man of God becomes the primary target of the enemy.
- 26The Anointing as Your ProtectionWhen you are continually anointed no witch can bring you down: the anointing as protection.
Part5
Keeping the Oil
How the oil is kept to the end: motivation, motive, love, practices and eternity.
- 27Keep Yourself MotivatedThe switch that turns the anointing on is not prayer or fasting but motivation.
- 28Right Motives: The Anointing Checks the HeartMotivation is the engine and motive is the destination: how the anointing checks the heart.
- 29The Cost of Loving the People You CarryWhat love costs a man who carries oil for the people he carries.
- 30The Practices That Keep You AnointedWhy being filled with the Spirit does not guarantee daily operation, and the practices that keep you anointed.
- 31What You Eat and What You CarryThe switch on your own table: what you eat and what you carry, between two extremes.
- 32Holy Communion: The Daily Stirring of the OilHoly Communion as the daily stirring of the oil, as the early church took it.
- 33The Anointing Makes You AttractiveThe anointing makes you attractive, and the walls to build before it does.
- 34The Anointing and EternityThe two judgments ahead of the child of God, and what will be waiting when your work is tried by fire.
