Understanding the AnointingThe Spirit Without Measure
John the Baptist, speaking about Jesus, infers Jesus had the
Holy Spirit without measure, inferring that we as individuals
have the Spirit by measure:
JOHN 3:
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for
God giveth NOT the Spirit BY MEASURE unto him.
There is a measure of the Holy Spirit in the believer for a
certain purpose, but an anointing comes upon you to stand in the
office (or ministry) to which God has called you. Although it's
the same Holy Spirit, it's a different anointing.
Because the Lord Jesus Christ had the Holy Spirit without
measure, He stood in all five of the main ministry gifts, and He
is the model for all of us to follow.
