1 Samuel 16:13 (NLT): “So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David from that day on.” This world needs anointed believers full of the Holy Ghost. The Anointing Is A Preparing—David was anointed in chapter 16 for a giant in chapter 17.

The Anointing Is An Empowerment. Acts 1:8 (ESV): “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 

The Anointing Is A Guarantee—A Seal of Approval. 2 Corinthians 1:22 (ESV): “And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” 

The Anointing Is An Enlightening. 1 John 2:27 (ESV): “But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.” 

In Closing, The Anointing Is For Proclaiming. Luke 4:18-19 (ESV): “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
