Heidi Baker reminded every Christian not to walk in somebody else’s anointing, emphasizing that copies are worthless.
Heidi Baker
The founder of Iris Global, Heidi Baker, illustrated to the congregation of Awakening Church what it would look like if people walked in somebody else’s anointing. Firstly, she invited a large man from the crowd to join her on stage, making note of his European shoe size, which was 49. Then, Heidi asked the man to exchange shoes with her, likening their shoes to their respective anointings. She expressed that people tend to desire to walk in someone else’s anointing.
As they wore each other’s shoes, they walked on the stage, and both had an uncomfortable experience. Then, Heidi shared, “Now we are the body of Christ. So this is, you know, I don’t think. I don’t think I’ve ever, ever had on shoes this size.” She asked the congregation if wearing a huge size of shoe would work for her. After that, she highlighted her big shoes, “This is what we do when we’re trying to, you know, compete or, or walk in somebody else’s anointing.”

Copies Are Worthless
Furthermore, she mentioned, “We can work on it but it’s still going to not fit us. We are, each one of us, so-called to be who God called us to be. You see, copies are worthless.” She reminded the church that people are called to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to focus on the King. They aren’t called to walk in somebody else’s shoes. Instead, they are called to walk in their own anointing.
Moreover, she believed that when people walk according to what God has called them to do, then He will flow through them with great freedom.
She encouraged them, “We’re just the channel. We want the Holy Spirit to put what He wants to put in and through our little lives. To walk in the anointing that He has picked out… And then let that anointing come together so that the body of Christ starts working together to bring in the Great and Mighty Harvest.”
