ANOINTED

READ: 2 Corinthians 1:19-22
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all ... for God was with him.
Acts 10:38
The anointing is the Holy Spirit. Every teaching you hear about the Holy Spirit is a teaching about the anointing.
The word “anointing” is both a verb and a noun. “Anointing” can mean the substance used to anoint a person - for example, the anointing oil. Anointing can also mean the act of pouring oil on someone. When I speak of the anointing, I speak of the person of the Holy Spirit that is given to you to do the work of God. It is important to go beyond the anointed to see the anointing. The anointed is enveloped with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth went about doing good because He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power. Jesus could have been anointed with olive oil, engine oil, coconut oil or with Vaseline. If he had been anointed with any of these things we would safely say that the anointing substance is the olive oil, engine oil, coconut oil or Vaseline. But Jesus Christ was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. We can therefore say that the anointing, the substance with which Jesus was anointed was the Holy Spirit. The mysterious Holy Spirit comes to abide upon a person who is anointed by God.
When a person is anointed, Almighty God moves to rest upon a person, within a person or to be with a person in a special way. This is what makes the person anointed and powerful. When you are dealing with an anointed person you are actually dealing with God. When you are dealing with an anointed person you are dealing with the Holy Spirit.
