Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend? We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. If you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.
I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you again for coming out. I like to start with something funny, and of course, this is not doctrinally correct. It's just to make us laugh, but I heard about these three men, a Baptist, a Catholic, and a charismatic. They died and went to heaven on the same day. St.
Peter said, "'I'm sorry, men, "'but your rooms are not available yet.'" He didn't know quite what to do, so he decided to call Satan to see if he would keep them for a little while. Satan reluctantly agreed. In a few hours, Satan called back and said, Peter, you got to come get these guys. The Baptist man is saving everybody. The Catholic man is forgiving everybody.
And the charismatic has already raised enough money for air conditioning. Hold up your Bibles. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today, I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you.
I want to talk to you today about a no stick anointing. In life, we all have to deal with negative comments, disrespect, and people that are critical. No matter how good of a person you are, somebody won't understand you. Somebody will make fun of you. Somebody will try to lessen your importance. Maybe a coworker. It's not so much what they say, but how they say it.
Always condescending like you're not smart enough. Maybe it's a relative. They celebrate everyone in the family, but they would never give you one single compliment. Too often, we respond the wrong way. We get offended and we let that sour our day. But Psalm 45, seven says that God has anointed us with the oil of joy. When you're oiled up, nothing can stick to you.
I call it a no-stick anointing. That means when the disrespect comes, it doesn't have to attach itself. You can choose to either hold on to it, let it sour your life, or you can let it slide right off of you and not give it the time of day. that coworker that's talking behind your back. You could get in there and try to straighten them out.
No, when you have the no-stick anointing, you realize your time is too valuable. You are not who they say you are. You are who God says you are. That relative that leaves you out on purpose, you could be offended. You could let that change who you are. No, you're like a Teflon pan. Nothing can stick to you. Somebody gossiping about you, no big deal. God will fight my battles.
Somebody talking about you, trying to make you look bad, that's all right. God is my vindicator. That family member left you out again, trying to belittle you, I'm not worried. What God lifts up, no person can push down.

Chapter 2: What is the main theme of the 'No-Stick Anointing'?
I've got this no stick anointing, any disrespect, any negative comments going to slide right off of me. Not going to give it the time of day. One time in the scripture, this prophet was walking down the street with some of his men, and this young man came out and started criticizing him, making these very negative, disrespectful comments.
And as they continued to walk, this young man followed them, just kept pestering them, badgering them, very annoying. Finally, one of the men said to the prophet, do you want us to go shut that young man up?
Chapter 3: How can negative comments affect our daily lives?
We are tired of listening to him. The prophet made a very insightful comment. He said, no, let him keep talking. Maybe God will hear him and bless me for it. That's the attitude we should have. Somebody talking about you, trying to make you look bad. Don't get upset. Don't lose your cool. The more they talk, the more God's going to bless you. They're trying to push you down.
God's going to use them to lift you up higher. When I first started ministering back in 1999, some people made fun of me because I smile so much. I've been smiling my whole life. This is natural to me. My earliest baby picture, six months old, I got a big smile on my face. You would think people would be glad that you're happy, but there will always be people that don't understand you.
People that are critical. You have to be strong enough in who God made you to be that you don't let these negative comments change who you are. If you succumb to that pressure and you try to adapt to their comments, to fit into their mold, to please every person, all that's going to do is keep you from your destiny. And some people, they don't even know you.
They've never spent time with you, never been to dinner together. They never heard your heart, yet they've already judged you from a distance and decided what they don't like about you and what you need to change and what's wrong. Don't make the mistake of taking that personally. They don't even know you. They just work in the same office complex or they just attend the same class.
You just see them at the mall every once in a while. Don't let their opinion make you feel less about yourself. Your attitude should be, you don't even know me. If you knew me, you would like me. If you knew me, you would want to be my friend. Now, I heard these comments. Joel smiles too much. He's so happy. What's wrong with him? And I was new to all this, being in front of people.
And I was kind of insecure. And my first thought was, maybe I need to change. Maybe I need to be more serious. But one day I learned what I'm telling you. You're never going to please everyone. You might as well be who God made you to be. I put on that no-stick anointing. Let those negative comments slide right off of me. Didn't give them the time of day.
Now when people tell me I smile too much, I just smile even more. People will always find some reason to be critical.

Chapter 4: What does it mean to have a 'No-Stick Anointing'?
They'll always find something to make fun of you about. If you're not secure and you dwell on these comments, it'll change who you are. But God made you like you are on purpose. God gave you your smile. Wear it well. God gave you your personality, your nationality, your looks, your style. Quit worrying about what other people think and just be who God made you to be.
If you will run your race, I can assure you God will take care of your critics. You don't have to fit into their mold. You don't have to argue with them, try to convince them that you're okay. Just be who God made you to be and God will take care of your enemies. This is what Elisha did.
Chapter 5: How can we respond to disrespect and criticism?
He was traveling from Jericho to Bethel. And along the way, this group of young men came out and started making fun of him because he was bald. Second Kings 2 23 says they started mocking him saying, go bald head, go, go bald head, go. Elisha didn't go over and fight with them. He didn't start thinking, oh, something wrong with me. I'm inferior. I don't have any hair on my head.
No, he just kept doing what God called him to do. As those young men were mocking him, the scripture says two bears came out of the woods and tore them to pieces. That teaches me two lessons. Number one, don't ever make fun of bald people. Number two, seriously, God will fight your battles. God will take care of the people who are making fun of you. God hears the disrespect.
He hears the hurtful negative comments and God will not allow one of his children to be continually disrespected. You may go through a season that's not fair. People are pushing you down, making you look bad, but that season will come to an end. God will vindicate you. Now you do your part and keep the no stick anointing on. Let those comments slide right off of you.
Don't give them the time of day and God will do his part. He'll take care of those who are trying to push you down. When the prophet Samuel went to Jesse's house to choose one of his sons as the next king of Israel, Jesse lined up all of his sons except David. There were six young men standing in front of Samuel. He looked at each of them one by one. Finally said, Jesse, it's none of these.
Do you have another son? Jesse said, yes, I have a son named David. He's taking care of my sheep. I didn't bring him in. He's the youngest. He's kind of small. He's not real talented. He's not quite as sharp as his brothers. David was shown disrespect by his own father. The good news is God's calling on your life cannot be stopped by people.
And I say this respectfully, but it doesn't matter what a parent has said about you. It doesn't matter what a friend said, what a teacher said, what a spouse said, what a coach said. All that matters is what God says. You may have had negative words spoken over you, but that disrespect, that lack of judgment cannot stop God's plan for your life.
Samuel took one look at David and he said, that's who I'm looking for. That's the next king of Israel. I'm sure Jesse, his father nearly passed out thinking, are you sure Samuel? My other sons are so much bigger, stronger, more talented. No, God doesn't judge by the outside. God looks on the inside. People will judge you by your appearance, your nationality, what family you come from.
God looks past the superficial things and he sees the potential on the inside. God sees the seeds of greatness that he has placed within you It's one thing when people you don't know very well are inconsiderate and dishonoring, but David was disrespected by his own family. His father didn't even bother enough to bring him in so at least Samuel could take a look at him.
Another time, David's brothers tried to push him down. They were out on the battlefield in an important position. David was still a shepherd. David's father asked him to take his brother's lunch. When David got out there, one of his brothers said, David, what are you doing here? And with whom have you left those few sheep? In other words, David, you're not a warrior like us.
