Christians are also anointed when the Holy Ghost baptizes us. Any Christian that has been baptized in the Holy Ghost is an anointed of God to represent Christ on earth.
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God. 2Co 1:21
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1Jo 2:20
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1Jo 2:27
When I was young I always prayed that God should give me the anointing of Elisha which is the double portion of Elijah’s anointing; little did I know that Christ is greater than Elisha, and we Christians operate under the double portion of Christ’s anointing instead of Elijah. Have you prayed that prayer before; or do you still think in the same way? What do you think Jesus meant when he said,
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12
Elijah did greater works, but Elisha did greater works than him because he was operating under the double portion of Elijah’s anointing; and so are we Christians under that of Christ Jesus. In fact Paul calls this entire salvation work of Christ, “a mystery,” and so he prays for us that we may be enlightened to comprehend what this is all about We represents Christ on earth; he can only use our hands to deliver the oppressed, heal the sick, and set free the captive; are you going to deny him now? What are you waiting for? In fact this book calls for action; Arise, and get moving – Forward Match!
Because as He is, so are we in this world. 1Jo 4:17b
