CELEBRATING HIS LIFE MINISTRIES

I Heard the Lord Say:
“THE SECOND MILE ANOINTING IS COMING"
A Fresh Word by Al Thomas

"MANY HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR A GREATER RELEASE OF MY HEALING POWER..."

“This indeed will come, but before it does My Spirit will pave the way with the Second Mile Anointing. A release of My love for the unlovely (Matthew 9:13) is about to come forth. Some have wondered, ‘What is my calling, why am I here?’ They have been quietly obedient, but frustrated. They have been hidden in the crowds; they have not been seeking recognition and are often silently enduring difficult circumstances and people. My Spirit has been refining them for this moment in time and their fruit is about to ripen. A few are now walking in this Second Mile Anointing, but soon multitudes will (Romans 12:20). They will live out these words: “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles” (Matthew 5:41). Simon of Cyrene, was one of the first who walked in the Second Mile Anointing (Matthew 27:32). When My Son told the multitudes to go two miles instead of one, they were shocked and indignant. In like manner when this Second Mile Anointing is demonstrated in the world it will shock many unbelievers into accepting My gift of eternal life and then, release an outpouring of the miraculous.”

God Said: “REMEMBER TO DO THE ORDINARY BEFORE EXPECTING THE EXTRAORDINARY”

“Remember, the first mile was required and there was no special honor or attention by fulfilling this task. No one would notice. Everybody had to do this. For some of My children it can be very tempting to skip the First Mile of obligation to get to the Second Mile of recognition. Do not attempt the extraordinary before you’ve been faithful in the ordinary, everyday responsibilities (Luke 16:10). Do not be so quick to be involved in spectacular areas of ministry before attending to the unknown, ordinary things. I want you to be willing to serve others even if no one notices, because when you silently serve others you are serving Me (Matthew 10:42).”

God Said: “AFTER DOING THE FIRST MILE, DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SECOND MILE ON YOUR OWN”

“It can be greatly rewarding to do acts of kindness---for people who appreciate them. Even the world does this, but I want you to go further. Jesus said: ‘Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.’ When My Son impresses you to walk the second mile He is talking about helping people who don't like you; and who don't appreciate what you do for them. When you do them good, they may go off and laugh at you. This is My agape love, the kind that was expressed on the cross. The world is waiting to see the complete fulfillment of ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ There are few who do this now, but soon many will (John 15: 12, 17). Remember you cannot do this in your own strength, but only by my Spirit (Romans 8:14). So, if you allow My love to flow through you, you will walk in this Second Mile Anointing and fulfill the task of being so different from non-Christians that you will be ‘perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect’ (Matthew 5:48) and ready to receive My Miraculous anointing.”

God Said: “THOSE WHO WALK IN THIS SECOND MILE ANOINTING WILL BE PREPARED TO WALK IN MY MIRACULOUS ANOINTING”

“Some of you have been greatly disappointed by people or unexpectedly let down. Others misread people you thought you could have trusted...but, as much as you wanted to, you did not give in to retaliation or bitterness. You have been walking in the Second Mile Anointing and did not even know it. I am very pleased with you for doing this (Romans 15:3). Like My servant Paul, these trials have prepared you for My Miraculous Anointing (Acts 19:11). My Son walked in the Second Mile Anointing and the Miraculous Anointing at the same time…they go hand in hand. The world will soon see these so called ‘under the radar’ servants...the ‘unexpected’ and ‘unpretentious’ ones of Mine walk in My Miraculous Anointing. Rest assured that they walked in the Second Mile Anointing first. Feeling rejected? Think you’ve been overlooked? Good. You’ve been walking in the Second Mile Anointing. Well done, now get ready for the My Miraculous Anointing!”

“…the Lord confirmed the message by enabling
them to do miraculous signs…”
(Acts 14:30b).
