FOREWORD

The COVID-19 pandemic challenges people, especially Christians, to change their lifestyles in God. I was very afraid when COVID-19 began spreading worldwide, even as Christian worker. Being that I am a Christian, I was disappointed at my attitude toward the coronavirus, not in the virus itself. The problem is in me as a Christian, not in a virus. Why do I fear? It is because I have not lived holy in God.

God said, Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘You shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy’ (Leviticus 19:2).

To overcome the death problem, one must live in God; that is, one must be holy, which is God’s character. The actual manifestation of holiness is Jesus’s love.

The Bible tells us of the love that God has toward us, and we have known and believed in this love. God is love; and he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16).

Love makes us overcome the physical gate of death by following Jesus’s example. Complete submission to God makes us holy and thankful in this challenging situation with COVID-19.

Holiness should be activated in our lives, just as the love of God came true through Jesus’s coming into the human world.

In the Bible we read, For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work (James 3:16).

Again, to overcome the problem of disease and death, believers should change their lifestyles by following the holy life of God, both spiritually and physically, from now on.

Release the Overcomer’s Anointing, written by Darnell Whymns, notes complete submission to His perfect will as the holy lifestyle. Her writing will help people succeed in holy living, serving as a guide to showing obedience to God Himself. She stresses that nothing meaningful ever happens when we partially submit to divine guidance. I think that God permitted this dreadful COVID-19 situation because we have just partially submitted ourselves to Him spiritually and physically. In the way of actual and complete following of God’s holy life, Release the Overcomer’s Anointing is a good guide to overcoming this sinful and imperfect world, moving onto glorious eternal life in heaven with God.

PREFACE

To overcome is the divine right of the believer. The ability to break a cycle is of God and can only be realized by His favor and directive. To obtain this ability from God—even though, being God, He gives it to whom He wills—one must be free from sin. There must be no misguided truth about receiving anything from God.

God is holy and requires all who acknowledge Him as Lord to be like Him, holy. He spoke about putting new wine into old bottles. To release victory, the source and the destination must have the same characteristics. Otherwise, there just might be a malfunction. The principles of righteousness are to function in righteousness (right living). The scripture explains it this way by asking an important question: Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3).

We need not be deceived by sin. However, the choices we make determine how effectively we will live for God’s glory. They determine how and if we overcome. God is looking for His Word, and He can only respond to His Word. He is His Word. The quality of our success, then, is in our submission to Christ.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3). There must be an agreement. Sin refutes righteousness and therefore will not permit the perfect will of God for our lives to become evident. However, we should live righteously, our lives being a living complement to the Word of God. When such is the case, God is able to release His Word concerning us, and we will be changed.

It is by divine instruction that I write as God’s Holy Spirit dictates. He insists that each of us studying the pages of this text understand that the first requirement for His intervention in any of our challenges is complete submission to His perfect will. We must give our lives to Him in all holiness.

This manual will be the guide between obedience and the manifestation of God Himself in our lives. It serves to motivate, educate, and guide and to release the power of God through its pages.

Again, I stress the fact that nothing meaningful ever happens when we partially submit to divine guidance. Partial submission will yield a partial solution. Newton explained it this way: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, with God we know that if we are lukewarm, He will reject us. We must be complete and uncompromised to get God’s favorable response.

"So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,

I will spew you out of my mouth" (Revelation 3:16).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I wish to thank the Lord, who alone is full of wisdom, knowledge, and might. He is wisdom Himself. The revelation behind our victory as documented in Releasing the Overcomer’s Anointing is from Him as He has revealed. He has indeed made His power to accompany His every instruction. I am grateful for every trial and every challenge that He allowed me to go through to verify the truth found in this text.

I am also grateful for my family members (my husband, David; son, David Jr.; and daughters, Davielle and Danielle) who have been co-laborers. Together we have tested and proven every word in this text and have found them to be all true and sure as the Lord would have said. The encouragement and motivation of my family has inspired me to continue to press on in God’s presence. Consequently, God has revealed Himself and released miracles. I am truly grateful.

Amen.

INTRODUCTION

Release the Overcomer’s Anointing was written because the devout people of God all over the world poured out their hearts before God in prayer, asking for a way out of the hands of the enemy. Even as I write, this scripture overwhelms the ear of my spirit:

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. (Psalm 34:6)

God cares and so has charged me to both write and teach this victory, by activating it in your physical reality.

To teach this topic successfully, the instructor must have had an experience where all the principles discussed herein were actively carried out successfully. It is only then that the ability to convey this divine breakthrough is possible. For it is the trial of our faith that works patience, and it is suffering that gives birth to victory. And this is a victory that is transferable supernaturally.

Successfully tried faith in God moves the believer to this position of triumph. Another person would simply be reading the letter. I testify to you that the years of struggle and hardship that I have endured have forced me to prove the contents of Release the Overcomer’s Anointing. It is within this period that the Lord gave me these instructions. Again, I testify that He, by His power, has delivered me.

While passion will serve as the catalyst for delivery of this divinely instructed manual, prayer of both the presenter and the student will marry faith to serve as the catalyst for victory over individual circumstances. We must remember that we cannot perform tasks and expect that God will be manipulated into giving us what we desire. True victory is not manipulated. It comes as we become intimate with God.

He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the fraudulent is carried headlong. (Job 5:13)

Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12)

There is no getting around it. The challenge is to make it through the obstacles with consistency in Christ. We are expected to exemplify, in spite of the heavy press, Christlike characteristics with thankfulness and without compromise. Our home is not here, and in pursuit of our heavenly abode there will be challenges. We must be reminded daily that we may be in the world but not of the world.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:16)

We are not obliged in the least to this world. Should we feel as though we are in debt to it, we will find ourselves in sin simply because we are reluctant to come out of it. We must come out—that is, die—so that we might live. Daily we must put on the whole armor of God.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Why take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Ephesians 6:11–18)

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (John 1:12)

We must understand that everything we experience in life might be the consequence of decisions we have made. Most certainly there are desires and longings that may not be the best ones to follow through with and act upon. Yet oftentimes we do just this. This choice to act is ours, not another’s. Therefore, we should not seek to blame anyone but ourselves. The issues of life flow from the heart. Issues, then, can be considered to be those challenges we face: difficulty in relationships, financial hardships, self-control, mind battles, and so many other matters.

Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23)

Everything we experience daily has come from our hearts. We desired certain things, and therefore we made decisions accordingly. Some of those decisions drew us to God; some drew us far from Him, in which case it is for us to soberly return to the old landmark.

Finally, as you read each chapter, meditate on the scriptures. They are included as a reminder of the promises God has given to us through His son’s ultimate sacrifice and evidence to verify that He is true. Each chapter concludes with a prayer and declaration. It is recommended that you pray each pray as a personal conversation between you and our Father in addition to repeating each declaration as an individual statement of faith. The prayer is a guide to affirm our faith and align each reader with the truth of God’s word. The declaration is a confession of the reader’s acceptance of this truth and an instrument of motivation to accept this truth as a principle in overcoming each challenge that life presents.

CHAPTER 1

Let Go of Everything

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them but dung that I may win Christ.

—Philippians 3:8 (KJV)

We have come before the King of kings to inquire of Him and ask for His intervention. He demands of us that we understand that all things exist by His instructions alone. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. There is nothing we need to bring or add to our circumstances, except to trust His divine wisdom. Oftentimes we are in need of God’s help because we might have made mistakes along the way and may be in a position where our present is worse than where we
