1 John 2:20
King James Version
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One,
and ye know all things.
I did say, early on, that a blog was needed regarding The OTHER oil.
For there's really so much to write about.
I've probably barely scratched the surface.
Another lesson taught me today?
Anointing comes from the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.
1 John 2:27
King James Version
27 But the anointing
which ye have received of him
abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth,
and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
JESUS did say the HOLY SPIRIT is the "Spirit of truth".
John 14:16-17
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
SPIRIT teaches us all things, and helps us remember what JESUS said.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
The "Spirit of truth" testifies of JESUS.
John 15:26
King James Version
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
A striking example of the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT can be understood when GOD chose David, to be king:
1 Samuel 16:12-13
King James Version
12 And he sent,
and brought him in.
Now he was ruddy,
and withal of a beautiful countenance,
and goodly to look to.
And the Lord said,
Arise,
anoint him:
for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed him in the midst of his brethren:
and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David
from that day forward.
So Samuel rose up,
and went to Ramah.
Psalm 89:20-21
King James Version
20 I have found David my servant;
with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established:
mine arm also shall strengthen him.
In contrast, Saul lost the SPIRIT of the LORD.
1 Samuel 16:14
King James Version
14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul,
and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
The old king found comfort in the newly-anointed king.
1 Samuel 16:23
King James Version
23 And it came to pass,
when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul,
that David took an harp,
and played with his hand:
so Saul was refreshed,
and was well,
and the evil spirit departed from him.
And all because the SPIRIT of GOD was in David.
The next post is on the ANOINTING of JESUS.
