4. THE ANOINTING WILL EQUIP YOU!

Let Jesus reveal His leadership style to you. The sin distorted our thoughts about leadership and created a counterfeit. Now it is the time to get rid of the deception and lies. Everything starts from your heart's revelation. When your heart is right the anointing will come and perform anything you believe on the basis of the Word of God.

Luke 4:14-21: And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding region. And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:…

… “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” And He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

Jesus declared Himself to be the Anointed One that the prophets had foreseen and proclaimed to become manifested one day. After having received the anointing, He declared that now the prophetic vision is fulfilled. From this moment on He would be able to do what the prophets had seen Him doing. He accepted His position and taught people that now they can expect the signs, wonders and miracles to happen. The anointing was now resting upon Him. If they would believe in Him as the Anointed One (=Messiah) they could receive their miracle!

Stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit! Declare the same things that the Bible talks about you as the anointed servant of Jesus. If you are in Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives in you! Consider yourself as anointed by faith because that is what you are. Do not say that you are not anointed! Speak out the truth of the Word of God concerning your life. When you say you are anointed you agree with the words of Jesus concerning His followers (John 14:12). Then you quickly come to the need of more anointing.

While accepting yourself as anointed, keep your heart hungry for more, because you are still on the way towards your final goal. Ask more, prepare yourself, yield yourself unto God's hands and be thankful and full of His praise! Speak out the victory of Jesus in your life, possess this extremely valuable truth in a humble and obedient heart. Never build anything upon your own ability or capacity but trust everything upon Jesus. Let Jesus rule in your life, let Him become your strength and power. You have enormous resources available by faith and through the anointing. All this functions in co-operation and submission to Jesus in you.
