...Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? — Acts 19:1b-2a

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. —Matt 3:11

God is in the business of anointing His people. He desires to give them the edge over the curse and natural circumstances.  He anoints (literally "rubs and smears" them all over) with the Holy Ghost and power.  This is not brain power, it is not natural physical power, but it is "dunamis" power, which is God's very ability.  You have been rubbed and smeared all over with God's power, God's might, God's ability, and God's miracle--Christ ("The Anointed One") in you.  Whether you feel anointed or not does not indicate whether you have power.  You have been anointed by God--you have the Holy Ghost and power according to the Truth, His Word.  His ability is yours today! 

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. — Acts 10:38

After Jesus was anointed, he "went about doing."  The anointing which you have received is for taking action.  This anointing is to be put into action for other people's benefit.  People all over the world are sick, poor, depressed, harassed by demon spirits, and you have the answer, the cure, the solution; you have the anointing.  Why have God's ability and never use it?  Why have God's might and power and never release it?  Put some faith in "the Holy Ghost and power" in your life!  You are anointed today to go about doing good!  Do not take for granted or ignore the awesome power that God has given you.  There is plenty of "good-doing" that needs to be done--and you have been empowered and sent to do it. 

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. - I John 3:8b

...and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. — Isaiah 10:27b

There is a devil on the loose!  He is on a mission to oppress mankind with sickness, disease, fear, worry, lack, and bondage.  He desires to oppress and harass every one of God's creations, to steal, kill, and destroy.  But his days of holding the human race under bondage are on the decline.  God has sent the anointing to destroy all the devil's yokes.  The anointing upon you today is bigger than AIDS, more powerful than cancer, greater than oppression!  Sickness and disease is of the devil; it is enforced by spirits of infirmity, by supernatural beings in the earth.  But the anointing has been sent so the Church could go about healing all who are under the devil's oppression.  "They shall lay hands on the sick and they will recover"--who are those who lay hands?  The person rubbed and smeared with God's ability!  So stop sitting and waiting--GO!

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

— Luke 4:18

Jesus did some awesome things when He walked on the earth.  Blind eyes were opened, deaf ears were unstopped, people were raised from the dead, and demons were cast out.  Jesus was always on top, always in victory.  In the midst of a storm, He was in total control.  He impressed people so much that even a Pharisee named Nicodemus came to ask how He did such mighty miracles.  What made the difference?  What impressed people so much?  "God was with him."  Jesus lived a life in the presence of God because He was rubbed, smeared, and anointed with God Himself.  You may say, "Well, I am anointed, too, but I'm not seeing the same results!  Why?"  Jesus was not only anointed, He also believed in the anointing that He had been given.  He claimed "the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and He has anointed me!"  Stop talking about your problems.  Stop talking about your human weaknesses, and start believing in the anointing that is upon you!   God is with you to heal all who are oppressed.
