In You Are Anointed
for This, Judy Jacobs imparted readers with the importance of building the
foundation and knowledge of the God given anointing on believers lives. Judy
Jacobs explained the critical area of understanding the phrase, “Then, God
said, “Let there be” (Genesis 1:3). When God spoke the world into existence, He
was basically commanding the angels and the world to form in the precise way
and design that he envisioned. Next, God made Adam and Eve and gave them
authority of every animal and the land. God instructed them to also multiply and
reproduce. Through Jesus, we have God given authority and the same power that
raised Christ from the grave lives inside of us. Judy Jacobs pointed out that
our words have implausible power, as God illustrated, in the beginning of
Creation. Preceding, Judy Jacobs reminded readers to recall when God declared
to Abraham and Sarah that they will have many descendants and in the natural,
they were both too old to have children. When Sarah overhead God telling
Abraham, she laughed and doubted the spoken Word. But God… Ultimately, we know
that in the end, God fulfilled this promise and they had a son and countless descendants.
Judy Jacobs used this story to describe to readers why they must not laugh at
what God has spoken over their lives. Believers must be ready and they must
proclaim like Mary, let it be.
Judy Jacobs has had her own share of personal anointed and
let it be moments in her ministry and her recording career. She revealed a
story about how fear almost stopped her from ministering to 600,000 people in
Nigeria. She was terrified and she believed that Israel Houghton, Mary Mary,
and other artists had more influence and more anointing on their lives. But all
of this was lies from the devil, trying to make her stop preaching and singing
God filled praise songs. She had to declare that she was anointed because of
the power of Christ living inside her. It’s also important to note and remember
that anointing isn’t just for popular artists and preachers, we are all
anointed to perform in the area Christ has called us to reach people for His Kingdom.
My favorite story that Judy Jacobs publicized was the announcement
of expecting their first baby after a year of hard trying. They were later
dismayed to learn that she had a miscarriage. They were beyond devastated and
heartbroken over the loss of their child. They were lying in bed weeping and
holding on to each other, when her husband decided they need to watch Christian
programing. Bishop T.D. Jakes was on TV, and he declared he had a word for
someone tonight that. He said, “something had died…and your enemy has told you
that you will never sing again, preach again, or smile again. But God wants you
to know that death is not the end” (Page 174). They were changed and they
believed the word and Bishop Jakes stated that they must stand up and praise
God. They walked around the house telling the devil that it isn’t over and
praised God’s Holy name. They decided to plant a seed and they started giving
to ministries. Six months later, they were expecting again and they had a
healthy baby. They also have two children. The devil didn’t win! This is also
something that I am believing God for right now, that I would meet my spouse,
and we would be blessed with having and adopting children. It’s not over!
I would recommend this astonishing book especially to
anyone who is doubting that they are anointed to do extraordinary things for
God. This book has shown me that I am in fact, anointed with gifts and talents
to enrich the Kingdom of God. I would also recommend this book to every adult
who is seeking a book that will engulf your life and change your perspectives
on anointment. I loved the story about how when Marilyn Hickery was preaching, and
God gave her a Word for Judy Jacobs and a few others. The Word changed Judy’s
life and everything that Marilyn spoken years later, it has come to pass. This
was inspiring in learning about the gift of prophetic words. One of my favorite
things presented in the book in the form of a list was about the many different
Biblical characters and how they were anointed. I immensely connected with the
features at the end of each chapter that was entitled, “let it be to me…” This
facet was enlightening and encouraging and gave me tremendous peace of my
anointing. I am anointed for this! You are too! If you are longing to comprehend
more about being anointed, then look no further and read this book!
