Psalm 92:10 "I shall be anointed with fresh oil."

Read Luke 4:18-19; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; I John 2:27a (emphasize: Just as Christ was anointed; so are we anointed)

Introduction

The current revival that is sweeping the world speaks a great deal about "the anointing of God." The term raises several questions. In these next two messages I want to attempt to answer some of those questions:

I. WHAT IS "THE ANOINTING?"

A. Vines says that the term "anoint" means to "smear" ointment on something to ceremonially separate that person or object for a special purpose.

B. In the O.T. it is most often used for the setting apart of the Prophets and Kings (I Kings 19:16) "And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room." (Also priests: Exodus 28:41–Aaron)
