• The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19).

    STEPS TO RECIVING THE ANOINTING

    1. BE BORN AGAIN
    If you haven’t been born again, follow the steps outlined in the early part of this chapter.
    Follow those instruction and you will receive the “lepers anointing” the first of the three anointing.


    2 BE BAPTIZED IN WATER
    If you haven’t been baptized in water, take that step when you are baptized, recognize that God wants to do a supernatural work in your heart. Expect any lingering sinful habits or besetting sins to be broken as you are buried with him by baptism ……….. [Rom 6:4]
    “Your old evil desires were nailed to the cross with him; that part of you that loves to sin was crushed and fatally wounded, so that your sin loving body is no longer under sins control, no longer needs to be enslaved to sin” [Rom 6:6-7]
    In a scriptural water baptism you can receive your [Priestly anointing] to walk a new life free from sin’s domination expect it to happen when you are immersed in waters of baptism

    3. BE BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
    Your “kingly anointing” for authority and power comes from Jesus. John tells us…….. “The anointing which you received from him abides in you……..” [1st John 2:27] as already stated, it flows down from the head to the body John the Baptist said of Jesus: “I baptize you in water but……. He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and…….fire” [Matt 3:11] John implied that Jesus would baptize the same way he did, only in the holy spirit instead of in water.

    4. DESIRE SPIRIT BAPTISM
    How did John the Baptist baptize? The candidates came to him desiring water baptism you must come to Jesus, desiring spirit baptism.
    LET JESUS DO THE BAPTIZING
    They allowed John to baptize them - they didn’t try to baptize themselves. You must let Jesus baptize you in the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost “…………the spirit filled all the house where they were sitting [Acts 2:2] the fact that they were sitting, made it easy for Jesus to baptize them - they were not in some kind of frenetic [uncontrolled] religious hyperemotional state trying to baptize themselves
