Shakeeta Torres explains what it means for a Christian life coach to be anointed: chosen and empowered by the Holy Spirit to guide sessions, seek God's approval over human praise, and operate from calling rather than credentials alone.
So what does it mean to be anointed to coach? It means to be chosen, consecrated, and empowered by God for a specific assignment or purpose. So in biblical times, the anointing involved the physical act of pouring oil over someone's head, symbolizing the spiritual empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fulfill a divine calling. So when we say a Christian life coach is anointed, we mean that they have been set apart by God not to just offer advice or strategy, but to serve as a vessel through which the Holy Spirit can bring transformation. Information, healing, direction, and direction to others. This goes beyond skill and training, is spiritual authority granted by God. Okay, um, and so you can look all throughout scripture, and I'm not going to read all of them here today, and it talks about, you know, being anointed, which means to be set apart for a specific assignment or specific task. Okay, so in your practice to be anointed as a coach, you are to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in every session. Um, you seek God's approval more than human approval. You operate from your calling, not just your credentials. You walk in spiritual authority with humility, and you understand that transformation happens through God working through you, not just your frameworks.
