You Are Anointed

Luke 4:18-19 (NLT): “The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORD’S favor has come.”

Acts 10:38 (NKJV): how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” 

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (NKJV): “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 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.” 

Acts 1:8 (NKJV): “But you will receive Power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My Witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 

1 John 2:20 (NIV): But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.”

                                         The Results of the Anointing Operating In Your Life

The Anointing of God Reveals the Plan of God. John 16:13 (NKJV): However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”     

The Anointing of God Brings Increase. The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.”  2 Samuel 6:11 (NLT).

The Anointing of God Gives Direction. God Led His People With His Presence. Exodus 40:36-38 (NASB 1995): Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; 37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.” God Met With His People. Exodus 25:22 (NASB 1995): “There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.” 

The Anointing of God Eliminates Barriers. “The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.” Psalm 97:5 (NLT, NIV).

The Anointing of God Fills Us With Joy. “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” Psalm 16:11 (NLT). 

The Anointing of God Deals With Your Enemies. My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.” Psalm 9:3 (NLT). 

The Anointing of God Will Restore and Refresh You. “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”  Acts 3:19 (NIV). 

The Anointing of God Will Use You. Acts 10:44 (NKJV): “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.”
