Thu, Feb. 2, 2012 — Days of Double Favor

I dreamed I was entering my kitchen at nighttime. The lights were off, but I was so “familiar” with the layout of the space, I assumed I didn’t need to turn on the lights to navigate my way. I moved forward and suddenly stepped into something very slippery, and I almost lost my balance. I realized I must have stepped into a puddle of oil covering the floor. I peered through the darkness to see that a corner cabinet where we keep all of our oils was open. Two, brand new bottles full of oil had fallen out; the caps had come off and their contents had emptied onto the floor.

That's when I woke up. I asked the Lord if the dream had a spiritual meaning, and He immediately gave me understanding that the dream illustrates His Word, “This is God’s Year to Act!” and that we need to respond strategically.

Double anointing is opened upon God’s people in this season. We will find ourselves in the midst of His oil of favor when we least expect it and even when it seems we cannot see clearly where we are stepping. We will be stepping into His Presence and provision. Don’t assume the old familiar to be the predictable path forward. Realize the foundations God has given us up to now are firm but His Presence now may present the necessity of a new mode of approaching the way forward. We need His light in order to perceive how to navigate in the double portion of fresh oil He has poured on the old foundations.

This is what we are expecting this year as we enter the dimensions of His glory and favor.

“…when the Almighty was with me, when my children were all around me, my steps were bathed in butter, And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!” Job 29:5-6
