About "Rise of the Anointed Ones"
'Rise of the Anointed Ones - 40 Days to a Deeper Walk with God

Anointed Ones
The “Rise of the Anointed Ones” is a 40‑day devotional forged for the very hour we are living in. These pages carry a vibrant blend of eternal truths and Spirit‑breathed insight, applied with precision to the cultural storms and spiritual battles of today. As you journey from one devotional to the next, you’ll sense a majestic progression—theme flowing into theme like a river of revelation—calling God’s Anointed Ones to stand, shine, and rise.

Each devotional is a standalone encounter, yet together they form a powerful pilgrimage into the heart of God. In these tumultuous days, they become a steady compass, guiding readers into deeper intimacy with the Lord and anchoring them in His presence. Every entry concludes with a Davidic‑style poem—lyrical, prophetic, and overflowing with heavenly impartation—inviting the reader to linger in worship and wonder.

“Rise of the Anointed Ones” is more than a boo
k; it is a clarion call—a voice crying in the wilderness—summoning God’s beloved away from the noise, the chaos, and the distractions of this age, and back to the One who burns with jealous love for His bride.

We are undeniably living in turbulent times. A global pandemic, cities ablaze with unrest, natural disasters shaking the earth, political upheaval, and a culture steeped in hostility toward truth—these are no longer rare events but the rhythm of our world. It feels as though creation itself is groaning, and the seams of society are tearing apart.

So what is the Church to do in an age ruled by fear, violence, and uncertainty?
Have we not been anointed for such a time as this? Is this not the moment for the saints of God to rise with Holy Spirit fire, stepping boldly into the harvest fields with courage and conviction? This devotional challenges believers to awaken to their divine calling—to stand as God’s anointed ones in this decisive hour of Church history. It is an invitation to rise above the darkness, to walk in supernatural strength, and to carry the light of Christ into a world desperate for hope.
   

What Others are Saying about Rise of the Anointed Ones
Jay Zinn Review Dr. Jay Zinn, Author, Pastor, Discipleship Maker, writes, “There are few authors who can take theology and turn it into a devotional series of divine, inspiring nuggets and poetry. Ken Birks is such an author who penetrates your heart and soul to want to know God better."
   
Ed Becker Author Pastor Review Ed Becker, Author, Sr Pastor writes, "Ken Birks has written a masterpiece of superb continuity. Each daily devotional I read, along with the poem, and special prayer, became my favorite in the whole book – until I read the next one. As I finished the manuscript, I realized each devotional revealed timely end-time strategies to enlighten, equip, and inspire the believer. Each devotional also challenges the reader to grow, mature, and pursue the highest level of Christian conduct."
   
David Fredrickson, Retired Sr. Pastor Review David Fredrickson, Retired Sr. Pastor writes, "Most true followers of Christ would agree that we are witnessing a time when self-serving Christianity is reaping the whirlwind of disunity, confusion, and fruitlessness. It is past time to listen to the voice of reason merely. Instead, we must respond with renewed minds, hearts, and actions. Rise of the Anointed Ones is like a voice in the wilderness calling God's beloved away from all that distracts to Him who is jealous for His bride. The reader who hears and responds will bring joy to the heart of God and encouragement to others who have put their hand to the plow.

Excerpt from First Devotional

Anointed For Such a Time

 

There is no doubt we are in the midst of tumultuous times. As we experience one catastrophe after another amid a worldwide pandemic, it is obvious. Riots with cities in flames, hurricanes, political unrest, earthquakes, and turmoil amid a world filled with hatred towards those who think differently are all part of what has now become our normalized world. It appears our world is falling apart at its seams. As Christians, what are we to do in an environment that is controlled by violence, fear, and the terror of what is to come? Have we been anointed for such a time as this?


In the book of Esther, we discover Queen Esther, who found herself embroiled in a similar period of unrest when her people, the Jews, were on the verge of being eradicated from the face of the earth. Just as Mordecai suggested that she had come into the kingdom for such a time, so have we. It may very well be that we have been placed strategically where God has planted us for such a time.


Esther 4:24 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”.


As storm clouds brew over the land, the earth trembles.
As unrighteousness manifests throughout, evil dissembles.
Troubles coming from every direction, darkness covers.
As anxiety, depression, and fear invade, multitudes suffer.
Engulfed in the madness of the moment, numbness buffers.
