Who has been given the Anointing of God?

 We saw that Jesus was anointed by the Spirit of God to accomplish the work and Word of God, but we must look into the scriptures and see if anyone else has been anointed to do the same work as Jesus. In Matthew's Gospel, 28:18 we are told "To preach the gospel to the world"; and vs 20 of Mark 16 says the lord was expected to be with them, "confirming His word by signs and wonders. Casting out demons, speaking with new tongues. They shall pick up serpents, and lay hands on the sick, and if they drink any deadly poison, it shall not hurt them." Someone once said that all that had passed away since the Apostles, so now we can't expect to do what they did! But listen to what Jesus said in John14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." Question? How are you and I together going to do the same works, and even greater works than what Jesus did? It must be with the same Holy Spirit that dwells in us , and also by the same anointing that comes from Him! Hallelujah! How can we be sure that we are really anointed? Well, here are two more scriptures that you can meditate on that will help your faith in accomplishing the will and work of God: - 1 Cor. 4:11, “But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” And: - Ephesians 4:7 “But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” (So we are given the manifestation of the Spirit of God for the common Good.) - Then again in 2nd Cor. 1:21, “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.”
