👑 Anointed Living & Purpose – Part 2
Becoming the Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 Woman in a Culture of Compromise
🔥 Short Teaching (5–7 minutes)
In Part 1, we uncovered the strength, wisdom, and dignity of the Proverbs 31 woman and the mentoring call of the Titus 2 woman. But in today’s spiritually hostile and highly sexualized culture, how do we live out these roles without getting lost in striving or discouraged by cultural opposition?
The answer: We shift from performance to presence. We trade worldly pressure for kingdom purpose. We embrace anointed living over religious striving.
🔹 Living Anointed, Not Exhausted
The Proverbs 31 woman wasn’t “doing it all” to be praised—she was walking in her God-ordained lane, empowered by the fear of the Lord. The Titus 2 woman didn’t need a platform—her life spoke louder than her words.
Both women knew their identity and authority came from God, not cultural approval.
“Her lamp does not go out at night...” – Proverbs 31:18
This isn’t just about staying up late—it’s about spiritual readiness. Her light is fueled by intimacy with the Lord.
“Teach what accords with sound doctrine...” – Titus 2:1
That means your life should line up with truth, not trends.
⚔️ Confronting Cultural Counterfeits
Let’s be honest. Culture says:
-
"Do what feels right." God says: “Walk by the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16)
-
"Post the perfect life." God says: “Let your adornment be the hidden person of the heart.” (1 Peter 3:4)
-
"You don’t need anyone." God says: “Bear one another’s burdens.” (Galatians 6:2)
These lies lead to burnout, isolation, and spiritual confusion. But God’s Word anchors us.
🛡️ Becoming & Mentoring
You don’t have to wait until you're “perfect” to make an impact. The Proverbs 31 woman becomes by fearing the Lord. The Titus 2 woman multiplies by mentoring others. Both are vital for spiritual growth and legacy.
Even if you're still becoming—you have something to give. Even if you're mentoring—you’re still growing.
💬 Part 2: Small Group Discussion Questions
-
What does “anointed living” mean to you personally? How is it different from just “doing good things”?
-
Which area of your life—home, work, friendships—feels hardest to align with biblical womanhood right now? Why?
-
Proverbs 31:25 says, “She is clothed with strength and dignity.” What would it look like for you to wear that today—emotionally, spiritually, or physically?
-
Are there worldly mindsets or habits you feel God calling you to let go of in this season? What are they?
-
Titus 2 calls for women to teach and model godliness to the younger generation. Who in your life could benefit from your example or encouragement? Have you been intentional about mentoring or being mentored?
-
Have you ever felt “disqualified” from spiritual leadership or influence due to past mistakes or life circumstances? What does God’s Word say about that?
-
How can our group or church become a safe place for both the “becoming” and the “mentoring” woman? What do we need to start, stop, or shift?
-
Challenge: What’s one small step you can take this week to live as an anointed woman—whether it’s prayer, mentoring someone, or honoring your family with joy?
✨ Closing Encouragement:
You don’t need to chase perfection—you’re called to pursue His presence.
You don’t need to become famous—you're called to be faithful.
Whether you are in a season of growth or guidance, God’s design for you is powerful—and your obedience changes generations.

DANIEL’S PRAYER
(Based on Daniel Chapter 9) Dr. Richard Ing’s “Waging Spiritual Warfare”
Pray this daily both individually and every time the saints come together.
Father, we come to You in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
1. O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but we are ashamed. We, Your people all over the world, have sinned against You.
2. We confess our sins and the sins of our forefathers. We have sinned against You. We have lived wickedly, and have rebelled, disobeying Your voice and Your will.
3. We have allowed ourselves to be deceived and distracted.
4. We have not walked with the Holy Spirit, Whom You gave us to guide us, teach us, and show us all truth. We have become spiritually immature, worldly, and unable to live out the truth. We have failed to do Your will.
5. We confess and repent of the sins of idolatry, witchcraft, sexual immorality, theft, lying, greed, pride, murder, adultery, dishonoring our parents, unbelief, lack of love, and countless other sins against You, O Lord.
6. Because of our sins and disobedience, our land and people have been cursed.
7. But You are a merciful God, full of grace and love, and we ask that You forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
8. O Lord, hear our prayers, open Your eyes, and see our despair.
9. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your people are called by Your name. Break the curses that have come upon our land and people, we humbly ask, O God.
10. We bind all ruler spirits satan has sent to carry out those curses against us, in Jesus Christ’s name. Your Word says whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (See Matthew 16:19; 18:18).
11. Free the souls of men, women and children who have been bound by satan, and take the blinders off their minds. We humbly ask You to send angels with chains from heaven to bind up all of satan’s ruler spirits that control our land and people.
12. We cut all the cords of the enemy and cast them away and dry up the river of death in Jesus Christ’s name.
13. Hide us beneath Your wings and cover us with Your feathers to protect us against the enemy. “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge” (Psalm 91:4).
We give You all the praise, honor and glory, O Lord God.
In Jesus Christ’s name we pray – Amen.

self pity
Since self-pity is the super glue from hell to bind us to our past, then to be free from it, we must be willing to leave those yesterday decisions and situations and live in today. It is an attention-getting, etc.) It will not allow you to forgive yourself but keep you in the land of regrets to keep you separated from God's love and his presence. It is an evil antichrist spirit to get you to self punish yourself but to also take you to suicide is its purpose but to keep you bound up so that you never reach your fulfillment in christ. That is its purpose and design to keep you stuck in the past of past mistakes and not take the power of God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
The reason stuck in self pity is to get attention, to get someone to understand your pain and to find sympathy because you feel separated from god.
I break down the power of Self Pity - little by little as we go along . . . .
I start by asking them - what is the MOST DANGEROUS DEMON --??
Usually people think rage, violence etc. . .
Then I tell them -- SELF PITY!
I describe how it works. I explain that most all of us have some measure of it. I "mock" it demonstrating how it "comforts" the person .. ."Oh, no one understands you, oh No one knows how bad you have it.
I describe how I have had to deal with it - with addiction and then also with the traumas of my childhood. . how it wanted to keep me stuck there.
Self conflict with identity
Reprogram the habitual thoughts coming out of years of abuse. That spirit of victimization would do the boogey with self-pity.
spirits connected with self-pity:
victimization
self-conflict with identity - self-hatred, self-accusation
attention getting spirit
Self pity is part of the armor of unloving so it is appropriate that you do bitterness, accusation, envy and jealousy, and rejection before the self pity. Self pity is a block to healing so it must be dealt with to have your victory.
