Topic: The Holy Spirit Can Anoint

Acts 9:17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." (NIV) The Holy Spirit can anoint us by opening our eyes to the truth. Acts 9:31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord. (NIV) The Holy Spirit can anoint churches to help churches grow. Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit there is a mighty strengthening of the kingdom of God. On a personal level, the Holy Spirit can anoint us and we are encouraged to keep going and keep the faith. Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (NIV) The word "anointed" means spread all over. God anointed or spread His power all over Jesus. In this verse, we note there are two separate gifts given. One gift was the Holy Spirit, and the second gift was the power. The power gift was used by Christ, not for self glorification, but for doing good and healing those who were under the power of Satan.
