Anointing - the Empowerment from God

 ”And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?“

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When the Amalekite, who was an enemy of the Israelites, told David that he had slain King Saul, David asked him, “Do you mean to say, that you weren’t afraid to up and kill God’s anointed king?” David understood the anointing that came from God, and that anyone who destroyed it was under judgment of death.  Anointing is the empowerment from God in our flesh to do the things the flesh cannot do.  In the new covenant, the anointing has freely been given to us through the death, burial and resurrection of the Anointed One, Christ Jesus our Lord.  That’s why we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.  The Holy Spirit activates the anointing of Christ in us.  We can be assured that if we believe in Jesus, He Who has all power in heaven and earth, has anointed us and given us power. To be anointed is to be covered in consecrated oil, which is spiritual and not of the flesh. Let’s by faith move in the anointing to destroy the yoke of the enemy of our soul.  Amen!
