What if God is not as opposed to obscurity as we are? What if obscurity isn’t as bad as we think it is? Many of us want to escape obscurity, while God might desire to use it to do something in us.

When you have an anointing from God, there will be side effects. It may not be what you expect, but the anointing will enable and empower you to do things that would not be possible without God’s help or strength.

You don’t even need to…
