LR: And it looked like a disaster.
BK: That’s right. And they went out. But if you study the children of Israel, even though they were in the wilderness, nothing bad had happened to them. God was providing for them. He was taking care of them. But the disruption was that God didn’t tell them that there was a process to come out of Egypt into the Promised Land. There was a process. They had to sit on a few brown rocks along the way. They had to trust God for their food. They had to trust God for their provisions, you know.
And I know there’s people watching today who they’re trusting God for the provision and they’re asking God, “God, what’s going on? You gave me this promise. You told me the destiny. I’ve had prophetic words. I’ve trusted the Scripture.”
LR: And of course we want it to happen in 37 seconds or less. Really less.
BK: Yes, probably less, probably by the time the church service is over—
LR: We walk out, and it’s all done.
BK: That’s right. But we don’t realize there’s a process that has to happen. And what God is doing is, He’s building you with the anointing and His presence so you can handle the greatness.
LR: When things hit, you might have been prepared.
BK: That’s exactly right. And God’s things are precious. The greatness of the anointing of God, the greatness of His anointing is something that He wants to manifest through every believer. I talk about in the book that every believer has an anointing. Every believer possesses the power of God in their life to manifest miracles, to do the works of Jesus, to see the sick healed.
But the process of developing into that sometimes requires some disruptions. It happened with the prophet Elijah.
LR: We want fairy dust and, what is that, tiptoe through the tulips.
BK: God disrupted the children of Israel so that they could get ready for what was to take place.
LR: Remember when the Scripture says, you know, “Don’t let the foot say, I have no need of the hand. Don’t let the hand say”—you know, if we’re all ears, who speaks? If we’re all mouthpieces, we can’t hear. Everybody has their individual part to play.
Now you take that thought and you couple it with line upon line, precept upon precept. It’s like building blocks. Okay, so here’s Christy in the church, you are sisters in the church, and so instead of saying, “You know, I want to be the worship leader.” “Well, I want to preach.” How is it that you find that place of where—here’s the key word, big word, four letters—your anointing is?
Now you may think, Oh, but that anointing was so much more fun. Or, I don’t want to be on television. You know what I’m saying? Everybody thinks they have their perception of what their place should be.
BK:. . . disruption.
LR: Yes. How is it that God gets our attention, and how do we know it’s God and not the devil disrupting us to get us into that position of divine place?
BK: Well, one thing I know for us is, the biggest thing—and we grew up together—is our hunger has always been first the kingdom, first the kingdom. We share and we talk. We’re hungry first for the kingdom. And I know that there’s times we have these conversations.
