    LESSON 8

    Purposes of the
    Anointing
    efore we look at the purposes of the anointing, let’s be reminded of the
    LESSON 8
    B importance of dying to self if we want the anointing.

    Philippians 3:2-8, 12 says:

    Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the
    circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and
    have no confidence in the flesh. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.
    If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I
    more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin,
    an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal,
    persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
    But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless,
    and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
    my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
    dung, that I may win Christ.… Not as though I had already attained, either
    were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
    also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

    God only trusts the dead. The cross is the symbol of death. Jesus said, “Take
    up the cross and follow me” (Mark 10:22).
    Paul speaks of the resurrection of the new man in Christ Jesus.
    It is impossible to be anointed if you are in the flesh.

    A PASSAGE ON THE ANOINTING


    Isaiah the prophet wrote about Jesus Christ in Isaiah 61:1-7:

    The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to
    preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenheart-
    ed, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that
    38 O P E R AT I N G I N T H E A N O I N T I N G

    are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
    vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that
    mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
    the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of
    righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall
    build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall
    repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall
    stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and
    your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call
    you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their
    glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and for con-
    fusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess
    the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

    The Spirit is “upon,” not “with” or “in.”


    He did not simply say “Lord” or “God,” but “Lord GOD.” The word “Lord”
    is Yahweh, while the word “God” is Elohim. Elohim is always connected to the
    acts and power of God. Yahweh is connected to His covenant. The anointing is
    given because of the covenant.
