Understanding the Anointinganointing that we're able to reign.
Other Old Testament references to the anointing include
these texts from Zechariah and Isaiah.
ZECHARIAH 4:
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word
of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might [or army], nor
by power, but BY MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts.
We always think of might and power in connection with the
Spirit of God. When God speaks of might and power in this
Scripture, He's talking about human might. He's telling
Zerubbabel, "It's not by the power of an army, but it's by my
Spirit that the battle is going to be won." It's by the Spirit of God
that victories come, not by the hand of man.
ISAIAH 10:
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be
taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck,
and the yoke shall be destroyed BECAUSE OF THE
ANOINTING.
Sometimes we turn that phrase around and say, "It's the
anointing that destroys (or breaks) the yoke." That's saying
absolutely the same thing: The yoke shall be destroyed because
o f the anointing.
This is true in our lives and ministries as well: The yoke of
sickness or anything else that the devil tries to put on us will be
destroyed because o f the anointing.
In the New Testament, we see how the anointing was on the
ministry of Jesus, and we can learn about ministering under the
anointing.
LUKE 4:14-
14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the SPIRIT into Galilee:
and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Notice in the fourteenth verse, the word "power" is used in
connection with the Holy Spirit. Combining these two verses,
