Honouring The Anointing – Andrea Cocker

To be a Christian is to be anointed. In the same way priests, kings, and prophets were anointed in Scripture, smeared with a holy anointing oil and set apart for purpose, we are filled with Holy Spirit and called to be Jesus’ representatives here on earth. Jesus is the Anointed One, the Christ; we are his little anointed ones, marked as dwelling places of His Spirit.When we gather together we love to welcome the anointing; the manifest presence and glory of God. The anointing changes the atmosphere, draws us to God’s heart, brings healing to places both seen and unseen, and shores up our identity as loved children. The power of being immersed in Holy Spirit impacts our whole being; spirit, soul, and body. We were created to live daily enveloped in the presence of God like oil that sinks into every layer of our lives.This year, let’s honour the anointing on our own life, on each other’s lives. Let’s value and pursue the anointing when we’re together. Let’s live as though we believe we are anointed, a connection point between heaven and earth. A little anointed one.
