As Cal Ripken stood up to the plate
for his first time at bat in his final all-star game, he blasted the first pitch over the left field wall. On the heels of announcing his retirement, Cal Ripken broke the
record and became the oldest player to hit a home run in an all-star game and was named the MVP, most valuable player, in his last all-star appearance.
As history was made that night, I sensed the Lord saying, "The older stars in My Kingdom are going to shine
brighter and do greater exploits than ever before."
I sense there is a special anointing coming upon older men and women in the Body of Christ.
God is not through using you. Your age is not against you; it is for you! Job 12:12 says:
"With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding."
You have more wisdom now than ever; With years comes understanding. This anointing is going to cause you to live longer. Many of you have not planned to live long
enough! It will be an anointing similar to Caleb's when he was eight-five years old and he said to Joshua, "I am as strong now as I was at forty, and I still want that
mountain!"
There is coming a spiritual "fountain of youth" into your midst: a
renewing, a release of God's strength. Psalm 68:28 says: "Thy God hath commanded thy strength."
God is commanding His strength into you!
Some of you are going to have to live longer because God is not through using you.
Many of you are going to go into a second childhood in the Spirit. You will be reactivated by God to live out the
dreams that you are now only dreaming about.
Other people and relatives will laugh and say, "You are going to do what? You are going
to go where? At your age?" But that anointing is going to rise up within you to take mountains, to do exploits, to run and not be weary, to walk and not faint.
Our older years are when we are in our prime to be used and to bring forth fruit. Psalm 91:16 says,
"With long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation." There is an anointing coming upon God's people to live
longer. The joy of the Lord, which is our strength, is lengthening our days upon the earth!
Many have made out their wills, but before you think about leaving, check out your Father's will for you. I don't think you are going anywhere for a while.
As Abraham and Sarah conceived in old age, you are about to conceive
and live to see the birth of your Isaac - your impossible dream come true!
