THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – 7/31/2022
2 Corinthians 1:21 says, "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 LB21 It is this God who has made you and me into faithful Christians and commissioned us apostles to preach the Good News. 22 He has put his brand upon us—his mark of ownership—and given us his Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee that we belong to him and as the first installment of all that he is going to give us. THE ANOINTING IS IN YOU 1 John 2:27 LB 27 But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, in your hearts, so that you don’t need anyone to teach you what is right. For he teaches you all things, and he is the Truth, and no liar; and so, just as he has said, you must live in Christ, never to depart from him. THE ANOINTING IS ON YOU Acts 1:8 NLT8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 LB8 But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power to testify about me with great effect (with signs and wonderes), to the people in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, about my death and resurrection.” THE ANOINTING OF GOD’S PEOPLE, THE CHURCH It is against the mind and will of God, that his people, whatever happens, should give way to fear. Isaiah 10:27 NKJV27 It shall come to pass in that day. That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. Isaiah 10:27 defines the anointing as the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God. The anointing is what delivers God's people and sets the captives free. The anointing is literally God on flesh doing what flesh can't do.
