  • How is the Spirits filling different from His anointing?
    How is the Spirits filling different from His anointing?

    Individuals were anointed with oil to identify them as divinely appointed to a work. They thus had the honor of being identified with God and the work He gave them. They became the "Lords anointed" (1 Samuel 24:10;" TARGET="_blank">1 Samuel 24:10; see also Psalm 105:15)." TARGET="_blank">Psalm 105:15).

    The Lord Jesus was Gods Anointed, meaning Messiah or Christ. Referring to His baptism, Peter says, "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power" (Acts 10:38)." TARGET="_blank">Acts 10:38). His work and identification with God follow this statement of honor, for He "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him." The Savior said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel..." (Luke 4:18)." TARGET="_blank">Luke 4:18).

    God never gives a work without enabling the worker; therefore, the Spirit was "upon Me" (enabling) because He "anointed Me" (identification and honor). We likewise have an anointing (1 John 2:20," TARGET="_blank">1 John 2:20, YLT), befitting to those in Gods family who are now able to know God and His truth.

    Being filled with the Spirit suggests capability for a work, whereas being anointed with the Spirit expresses honor and identification for a work.
