๐ซITโS THE SAME ANOINTING
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
There are differences among us, but they donโt cancel the oneness of the Spirit. The differences are in faith, calling, gifts, grace, and office. Our callings are different. Our gifts differ. God gives different graces, and thereโre different offices, whether evangelist, prophet, or otherwise. Yet, itโs the same anointing of the Holy Spirit at work.
When you received the Holy Spirit, you were anointed with the anointing of the Christ. Therefore, youโll never need a greater anointing than the one you received when you received the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 1:21 says, โNow he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God.โ
Some think you can be anointed with the Holy Spirit and then later be anointed with power, but itโs not true. It is one and the same thing. The language of Paul, like the language of the prophet Isaiah, often uses two expressions for the same reality. So, when the Bible says, for example in Acts 10:38, that God anointed the Lord Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power, itโs not dealing with two separate things.
When youโre anointed with the Holy Ghost, youโre anointed with power. Acts 1:8, the words of the Master: โ...ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon youโฆ.โ He had said in Luke 24:49, referring to the same Holy Ghost experience they were going to have, โ...tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.โ This means the coming of the Holy Ghost is the enduement with power.
When you received the Holy Spirit, you were separated unto Him and consecrated with the anointing of the Christ. He empowered you to do the work of God and to live for Him. He opened your understanding to Kingdom realities and enabled you to walk in the wisdom of God. Oh, the blessedness of being filled with the Holy Ghost!
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the anointing of the Holy Spirit that I have received. I walk in the consciousness of the grace and power of the Spirit at work in and through me. Iโm empowered to live for you and fulfil your purpose. I function in the power and wisdom of the Spirit for the work of the Kingdom. Through me, your graces and blessings are ministered to others, and your glory is manifested in every place, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
