The anointing
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord is upon, He has anointed me to preach good news …..

The bible defines “the anointing” as God on flesh doing things flesh cannot do. In other words, it the power of God moving through people like us to do things we could not do by ourselves.

In the verse above the Prophet Isaiah says the Spirit of the Lord is upon him that is, he has been anointed to preach the good news.

The bible also says in Isaiah 10:27 that

…..the anointing breaks the Yoke.

Meaning, the anointing brings deliverance. This implies that the anointing does two major things:
– It empowers you to do what you cannot do with your human strength
– It delivers you from any bondage or attack of the evil one.

In scripture, the anointing is imparted through:
-Spiritual leaders anointing you with oil and laying hands on you.
– The Holy Spirit empowering you supernaturally

It is important that we all yearn for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to empower us fulfill our mission as ambassadors of Christ

1 John 2:20
……you have received the anointing from the Lord

This verse from the new testament confirms that we receive the anointing from the Lord.

The Lord can make a lot of difference in our lives if we pray for the anointing.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray for the anointing

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

By the anointing
Jesus breaks the Yoke
By the Holy Ghost and power
Just as the Prophets told
These are the days of the latter rain
God is moving by His power again
By the anointing, we must break the Yoke

I tell you this mountains
Shall be removed
And all of the dry land
Shall thrive again
And even the dry sea
It shall one day, one day overflow
By my Spirit saith the Lord
Amen
