“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me; To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted; To proclaim liberty to the captives; And recovery of sight to the blind; To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”Luke 4:18-19(NKJV)
Everyday, we need to pray for the in-filling of the Holy Spirit, our helper. Without the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we will not be bold to do the work of the Lord and to face opposition and persecutions. Jesus had a mission on this earth that he had to complete in His short time on the earth. His mission was clearly stated in the verse for the day. He came to preach the good news, to heal the brokenhearted and the sick, to set the oppressed free from their sins and demonic influences. He was able to do all these things through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
We have been called to the same mission and we need the power of the Holy Spirit to energize us to be able to fulfill them. May the Lord anoint you today as you diligently seek to please Him in every way and to do His work. Without the Holy Spirit's empowerment, you can do nothing!
Pray and ask God to anoint you today with His Holy Spirit.
