Anointed Power

Anointing was done with oil

To set apart someone or thing for a special service

The anointing oil on Jesus is running down

Off his head unto you and I as His Body

The same Holy Spirit is anointing us with power to

Do good and heal the oppressed of the devil

Don’t let that anointing power go to waste

Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to release the power today!

Anointed Power

How do you define Anointing?

We hear this word from time

to time, but what does it mean?

Acts 10:38 says…

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and power

Peter was speaking and says to

Cornelius and his household…

“You know what has happened throughout

Judea,…how God anointed Jesus”

They knew the “What” and “How” of Jesus’ anointing.  

The believers of the Old Testament

were looking for the “Messiah”.

The word “Messiah” in Hebrew

means “The anointed one”.

In the New Testament we

see He is called Jesus “Christ”.

The word “Christ” in Greek

means “The Anointed One”.

When the angels appeared to the shepherds

at the time of Jesus’ birth they said… 

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;

 he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you:

You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Luke 2:10-12

“He is Christ the Lord”

Jesus stood up in the synagogue

and read a portion of Isaiah 61…

The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to release the oppressed,

  19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."   

Luke 4:18-19

The anointing is because the

Spirit of the Lord is upon Him.

We also get a glimpse of

the purpose of the anointing.

Isaiah also describes the

Spirit of the Lord in Isaiah 11:2…

The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him —

the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and of power,

the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD — 

To anoint was to smear oil, the anointing marked

out something or someone for a purpose.

It was to set that thing or person

apart for a special service.

The “Anointing” on Jesus had no limitations.

For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently.

Colossians 1:19 AMP

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."  

Hebrews 1:9

So, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power”

Jesus sent this same anointing to the believers as

a promise from the Father after His ascension.

In Acts 1 and 2 we see the Holy Spirit

coming upon the believers so they could

have the power to preach the “Good News”.

We receive this anointing when we

are included in Christ, it is at that point we

are “Sealed with the promised Holy Spirit”. 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession — to the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 1:13-14

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

This Anointing teaches us…

But you have an anointing from the Holy One,

 and all of you know the truth.

1 John 2:20

As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit — just as it has taught you, remain in him.

1 John 2:27

…taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

1Corinthians 2:13

Although only Jesus received the anointing

in “full measure”, you and I as the church

and He is the Head, find the anointing

oil running off the Head unto us.

The power of the Holy Spirit and the very

purpose of the anointing is upon us and in us.

Jesus’ power came from the Holy Spirit.

Your power and mine comes from the Holy Spirit.

Take a look at the scriptures describing

the Holy Spirit mentioned above.

These are the things the Spirit wants to do in

your life so you might be anointed with power.

Scripture Reading

Acts 10:34-38 NIV

34 Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. 36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
