Instead of winding down, I’ve gotten fired up!
This past December I turned 78, and I’m stronger now than I was 20 years ago. I’m walking in the life and energy of God. I’m flying all over the world preaching the gospel and having the time of my life.
I’m not the only one who’s happy about it, either. The LORD is, too.
Why? Because the Anointing of His Spirit on the lives of His people is designed to develop with age. So if we keep walking with Him, the older we get the more developed our anointing becomes.
Not long ago The LORD made this very clear to me. Kenneth, He said, when you were 30 years old My Anointing came on you. As the years passed it grew and developed and by the time you were 40 it had matured considerably. But at 40 you couldn’t get the 60-year anointing. It doesn’t work that way. You have to grow in grace and the knowledge of The LORD. You have to grow in faith. At 60, you could have the 60-year anointing, but you can’t have the 80-year anointing until you get there.
Then The LORD went on to say this: Because My people have let the devil talk them out of living much beyond 80, they’re missing out on the anointing I’ve designed for them to have at 90, 100, 110 and 115 years old. As a result, I don’t have those anointings on the earth!
“But LORD,” I said, “there are some people in the world who are living longer and longer and getting closer to that age.”
Yes, He replied, but My people—those who are Anointed of Me—aren’t doing it!
Departing in Style
I know what you’re probably thinking. Is it really possible to keep developing in God’s Anointing when you’re over 100 years old?
Sure it is. Not only are there examples of it in the Bible (Abraham and Moses, for instance), but I was personally acquainted with one man who did it. His name was Otis Clark.
An anointed minister of God and a Partner with this ministry, when Dad Clark went home to be with The LORD he was 109 years old. But you never would have guessed it by looking at him. He usually sat on the front row at the Believers’ Conventions and he always looked strong and fit. At an age where most people would expect to be shuffling around in a bathrobe and house slippers, he wore a sharp suit and a fedora hat.
What’s more, he never retired from preaching the gospel. He preached all his life. The Saturday night before he crossed over into heaven, he told his family, “I want you to take me to church in the morning.” He hadn’t been feeling quite up to par so they tried to talk him out of it.
