Release The Anointing

Leviticus 2:1

1When anyone offers a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.

In the Bible, oil always speaks of the Holy Spirit. The grain offering of fine flour which had oil poured on it in the Old Testament speaks of Jesus’ humanity being anointed by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is fully God, but when He came to earth, He literally emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant. (Philippians 2:7) That is why He needed to be anointed of the Holy Spirit. (John 1:33) This means that though fully God, He did things by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was anointed to bring the blessings of God into the lives of people. He first spoke of His anointing when He was preaching in His home town — “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor…” (Luke 4:18)
He was anointed to make the poor rich. He did it for the fishermen by giving them a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish. He did it at a poor man’s wedding feast in Cana where He turned water into the best wine for the man and his new bride.
Today, Jesus’ anointing has come upon you. How is His anointing released through you? When you call upon His name. In Song of Solomon 1:3, the virgins, representing the church, love His name, which is like ointment poured forth when spoken. When they call upon His Name, His fragrance is released and the anointing is poured forth.
So when you call upon the name of Jesus, you are releasing His anointing. Call upon His name when you are feeling down and His anointing will lift your spirit up. If you are feeling dry and empty, just say, “Jesus, Jesus.” Before you know it, a river of refreshing will gush forth as His anointing flows. Call upon His name when you need a breakthrough and His anointing will release to you the miracle.
Romans 10:13 says that “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”. So call on His name and watch His anointing release your deliverance, healing, protection and prosperity, and make you whole!
