Skillfull vs Anointed

Hey fam! A great concern in the body of Christ is the inability to discern the difference between someone who is skillful at what they do verses someone who is anointed to do what they do! Because you went to school, and rehearsed, and studied (which is necessary) how to do what you do does not mean that God has anointed you to do it! We often hear a preacher who can move a crowd, or hear a singer who can captivate audiences attention and we automatically label them as "Anointed" without trying the spirit by the Spirit. 1 John 4:1 (NIV) says "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." Please believe that it does not take the anointing to impress people, but it does take the anointing to destroy yokes! John says that we must TRY the spirit of an individual which means we must observe, discern, or Judge (that right, JUDGE)! But you must make your judgement according to biblical principals and not your personal opinions and feelings. Don't misinterpret me: I do believe that someone who is anointed should be skillful or well learned of the capacity that they serve in, but it is not spiritually profitable to be talented alone! You MUST make sure that God ALWAYS gets the glory!!! A sign of an "Anointed work" is that the results outweigh the vessel (person whom God uses)!
