Hunters of the Anointing

Protect the Anointing on Your Life at All Costs

Genesis 9:20–27 (KJV)

²⁰ And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

²¹ And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

²² And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

²³ And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

²⁴ And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

²⁶ And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

²⁷ God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

“Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard. Then he drank of the wine and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent…”

We see in this passage something strange. Noah, a man of righteousness, survived the flood only to fall into a moment of vulnerability—drunkenness and nakedness. Ham saw his father’s nakedness and exposed him. But Shem and Japheth, with honor and reverence, covered him.

Let me tell you something: drunkenness and nakedness are kissing cousins. When you’re not sober-minded, you uncover what should be hidden. When you’re not spiritually alert, your covering is compromised. And that’s when the hunter of the anointing strikes.

Noah pronounced a curse—not out of petty anger—but out of prophetic insight. His words shaped history. Ham’s rebellion would bear fruit in generations to come.

Rebellion in the Bloodline

Ham’s lineage would birth nations that became enemies of God’s people:

Egypt – who later enslaved Israel

Canaan – a land full of idol worshippers

Cush – whose name means “Let us rebel”

Nimrod – a mighty hunter before the Lord, but not for the Lord.

Let’s be clear: Nimrod wasn’t just hunting animals—he was hunting power, dominion, and the anointing itself! He was hunting the authority of God to replace it with the will of man.

Genesis 10:8 – “Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth…”

Nimrod: A Hunter of the Anointing

Nimrod’s spirit is still alive today. He builds Babel. He dares to reach Heaven by human effort. He says, “Let us make a name for ourselves.” That’s the spirit of self-glory. That’s the spirit of rebellion. That’s the spirit of antichrist.

And let me say this: The devil has always been hunting the anointing.
He hunted Moses in Egypt.
He hunted Elijah through Jezebel.
He hunted Jesus through Herod.
He’ll hunt you through distractions, lust, pride, offense, and weariness.
He’s still saying today, “God, if You send Your Son, we’ll hunt Him down and kill Him.”

Modern Hunters of the Anointing

We are seeing a spirit-filled generation under assault.

These are today’s hunters of the anointing:

1. Money – “I don’t have time to pray, I’ve got to hustle.”
2. Relationships – “My time is for my spouse, my kids, my friends.”
3. Sports & Entertainment – “I’m too tired to pray, too busy to be spiritual.”
4. Careers – “I’m a doctor, a fireman, a nurse, a judge… I don’t have time for the altar.”

But I came to tell somebody: You can’t be spiritual without an altar.
You can’t carry the anointing without consecration.
You can’t walk in power without dying to the flesh.

The Altar: Where the Anointing Is Protected

2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray…”

The altar is the place where:

You die to self

You live for God

You receive the anointing

You protect the anointing

There are three kinds of altars:

1. A Geographical Location – Like Mount Moriah where Abraham offered Isaac.
2. A Sacred Place – A prayer closet, a church, a “God Room.”
3. A Person – Elijah was an altar. Moses was an altar. You must be an altar.

John 15:5 – “I am the vine, you are the branches… without Me you can do nothing.”

We are not just called to visit the altar. We are called to be the altar.

Spiritual Warfare: Jezebel and Delilah Still Hunt

Jezebel attaches herself to authority. She seduces prophets, manipulates leadership, and wants to silence the voice of the Lord. She is bisexual in spirit—male or female can carry her.

Delilah seduces the anointed into sleep. Samson didn’t lose his strength because of a haircut. He lost it when he traded intimacy with God for intimacy with flesh.

If you can play the keyboard but can’t pray, you’re in danger.
If you can sing on stage but can’t intercede at the altar, you’re in trouble.

Final Call: Protect the Anointing at All Costs

The anointing is costly. It comes with sacrifice.
Don’t let the hunters steal what God gave you in the secret place.
Revival is birthed in altars, not entertainment.

John 15:6-7 – “If you abide in Me… you shall ask what you will and it shall be done.”

So I ask you:

Where is your altar?

Have you built one in your heart?

Are you praying more than you’re performing?

The Charge on My Life

Be an Altar!

Don’t just go to the altar. Become one.

Let this be your declaration:

“I will protect the anointing on my life.
I will not let money, people, or the pressures of life steal my altar.
I am the temple of the Holy Spirit.
I am an altar of fire.
I will not be hunted down and silenced.
I will carry the anointing until the day I see Jesus face-to-face.”
