Called, Appointed, Anointed

The Lord has called and appointed His witnesses to proclaim the living Word in this hour. This company is now going forth with great power and authority, having been prepared and designated by God as His chosen vessels.

Mark 3:13-15 - "And He went up to the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. And He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach and to have authority to cast our the demons."

I heard the Lord say that He has given "golden pipes", or vocal cords, to those He has appointed (named officially) to carry His message. These people will have the "golden oil" that will be continually poured out from His throne room. They are the anointed ones who "are standing by the Lord of the whole earth" (Zech.4:14). This company has complete access to heavenly strategies and the hidden wisdom that is being released in this season. These sons of fresh oil are a foreshadowing of the two witnesses spoken of in Revelation 11. Great power and authority have been given to them.

Zech. 4:12;14 - "What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves? These are the two anointed ones, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth."

Rev.11:3-6 - "And I will grant authority to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy..... These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies.... These have the power to shut up the sky, in order that rain may not fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire."

The number two is signifiant, as the Lord is not sending this company out singly, but by two or more. The number "two" signifies the following: testimony; witness; blessing; judgment; revelation; harmony; the living Word; incarnation (giving bodily form or substance to).

NUGGET OF GOLD: The Lord Himself has called, appointed, and anointed a remnant to go forth with His living Word in this hour of earth's history. Great is the call on their lives. Those counted among this number have already laid down their lives. They have come out of the world system in every way that the Lord has required of them. The testimony of Jesus is in their mouth, and they "love not their life even to death" (Rev.12:11). We'll recognize them by their fruit, and by the signs and wonders that follow them.
