WHAT IS GOD’S ANOINTING? It is knowing the supernatural presence of God upon us. It is being aware of His presence with us. I would describe it as an actual physical experience when we feel the warm presence and glow of God upon our body. It is like a signal that God sends to us saying that He is showing His presence to us, that He is with us and approves of what we are saying or doing. With the anointing of God there is also the power and healing of God. JESUS CHRIST KNEW THE ANOINTING OF GOD ...how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38) This describes how Jesus Christ ministered with the anointing of God. He was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power and was thus able under that anointing to do good and heal all who were oppressed by the devil. THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING The secret of knowing the anointing of God is complete obedience to His will. Thus we hear Jesus saying: And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him. (John 8:29) Jesus Christ always knew the anointing of God because He always did the things that pleased God. We find that complete obedience to the will of God is the hallmark of His ministry. In 2 Kings Chapter 9, the plan God outlined for Elijah at Mt. Sinai in 1 Kings 19:15-18 will now be completed: 1. Anointing Elisha to succeed Elijah 2. Arranging for the succession of Hazael the Aramaean 3. Arranging for the succession of Jehu, a commander in the army of Israel Elijah was only able to complete one part, the anointing of Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21). The second part of the plan to elevate Hazael to kingship was fulfilled by Elisha in 2 Kings 8:7-13. Therefore, two parts have been completed and only the last part, to anoint Jehu king of Israel, remained. The key word in 2 Kings 9:11-31 is the Hebrew word for “peace” = “shalom.” It is used nine times in verses 11, 17, 18 twice, 19 twice, 22 twice, and 31. Nine is the symbolic number for finality and for divine judgment in Scripture. Jehu’s friends showed their approval of the oracle for Jehu’s kingship: 1. They honored him by throwing down their cloaks before him. 2. They sat him on the top of the stairs in a kind of enthronement ceremony. 3. They sounded the shofar and publicly proclaimed him king. In each of these acts, Jehu’s fellow officers showed their acknowledgement of Jehu’s elevation to kingship and their submission to his authority.
