“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, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Luke 4:18-19 KJV
As Luke recorded, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, and He has anointed Me to be hope for the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.” This is what Isaiah had prophesied of the Messiah hundreds of years ago. The Anointed Christ is the Good News or the Gospel. For those who have identified with Christ’s death, burial and resurrection and are in Christ, this same anointing is the true measure of our lives. It is not our mental or muscle efforts that produces results, it is only the anointing. This in-Christ anointing is the glad tidings of the Year of Jubilee of opening the blind eyes to change the perspective and look upwards and see Christ; to bring freedom to those in trauma and hurts through deliverance, shutting that door with forgiveness and remission of sins; and knowing that we are accepted in the Beloved. This in-Christ Anointing breaks every yoke of bondage and we release it to a needy world. Amen!
