THE PURPOSE OF THE ANOINTING

Jesus said the purpose of the anointing of the Spirit is for the message (to preach the gospel–Lk. 3:18, 22) and for the ministry (to the poor…to the captives…to the blind…and to those who are downtrodden–Lk. 3:18).  God desires for your message and ministry to be anointed by the Holy Spirit.  There should be results from the preaching of the gospel.  While the minister preaches the gospel, some will be glad and others will be mad from what they hear during the sermon.  At the conclusion of Jesus’ first sermon, there were some who marveled at the message and others who were mad at the messenger.  In fact, Jesus’ very life was threatened as a result of the sermon.  The anointing of the Holy Spirit makes the difference in every sermon and in every worship service.
