The same concept works in ministry. You can be anointed to be a prophet and certain gifts and callings will remain with you. Even Paul prophesied, but he was an apostle.
Not all apostles prophesy yet the gift can be there. The gifts and callings are irrevocable, but the anointing can change. We often fail to recognize this or mistake the anointing for the gift or calling. The anointing is the unction or leading of the Holy Spirit. If you hear what you think to be an anointed message it is probably because you are being called into that type of calling or spiritual gift. People may still move in the same way they were moving yesterday, but there is no anointing in it.
They realize that something is missing. They are not getting what they got before, because God has changed directions. They need to get under that anointed cloud, back under that pillar of fire and power so that they can find out what God wants to do through them.
As anointing change, we must change, because that is where He, the Anointed One, is. The anointing comes from God. To be in the anointed place is to recognize that we need to be under the covering of His Spirit. If we are under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit then we will be in the perfect will of the Father.
The anointing we receive from the Holy Spirit is different than the calling of God. You see many men and women of God are called to preach or teach, but few receive the anointing to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that establishes your ministry. When our Lord and Savior was appointed to read from the scriptures it was on this special Holy day He read what He had been called to do for all mankind. He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. When a prophetic word comes by a spoken word or through the written word or even on a billboard down the road it is anointed of God, impossible to miss.

It is amazing to see how people are raised to a level based on their talent or gifts rather than their anointing.
The obvious first question is what is anointing? Anointing is a super church word. Bottom line, anointing is the touch of God on your life to accomplish whatever it is He has called you to. It is not some magical power, it is not something you can achieve by doing so much right,in fact the more grace you learn to embrace, the more qualified you are for an anointing you realize it has NOTHING to do with you.
So…you have a gift. There are successful people with no anointing, just talent or gifts. Becoming vulnerable creates the ability to maximize gift and anointing. I have learned to realize the key is not to worry about other peoples anointing, gift, or talent. At the end of the day, God can use an ass so it is not my responsibility to be the anointing police. What I have to do is manage my life in a way that I can keep an anointing flowing in my life despite the fact I am a very flawed project.
It is not about what this person or that person is up to, it is about what I am doing to become the best me I can be for the kingdom. And at the end of the day, you have to be the best you.
