Bible Reading Luke 4:1-44
Key Bible verse:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me;because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and...to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19
ANOINTED FOR GREATER WORKS:
The first thing I want to talk about is the anointing. It is one of the most misunderstood terms in the Bible, the anointing is the Glory of God or the weight of the Spirit of God. In our key Bible verse we are given insight on why the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. Jesus affirmed that the source of His anointing came from God. We can attest as Jesus did the source of our anointing as well. He gives the purpose of His anointing and His earthly ministry:
to preach the gospel to the afflicted;
to those whose spirits had been crushed;
to heal the brokenhearted;
to open the spiritual eyes and the natural eyes of the blind;
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord
Our key verse brings clarity to the anointing, it does not slay us in the spirit and leave us powerless. Instead it anoints and appoints us for action.The Bible also tells us we can affirm that we receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon us. {Acts 1:8}.
So get ready for action, get ready for the anointing, get ready for the power of the Holy Ghost.
If you have been filled with the Holy Ghost you are ready.You have been anointed,and appointed to do as Jesus
did, and Greater Works.Jesus said,"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. {John14:12}
Pray This:
Dear heavenly Father
anoint me to preach the gospel to the poor, send me to heal the brokenhearted and to preach deliverance to the captives and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised and also anoint me to preach that this is God's year to act. I also pray that you anoint me for Grater Works Amen.
