Bible Note: Luke 4:18: "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," The anointing is something to be treasured. We must not take the anointing lightly. The Holy Spirit moved when I sang and touched the hearts of the hearers. They were crying and praising God. I can't explain HOW God does it, He just does it. Can you explain HOW EXACTLY God saves us through Christ's atoning blood? Of course not. We just know that He does it and that Jesus' death on the cross redeems us, we just accept it by faith. In the same way, God pours out His Spirit upon us. It is FELT and EXPERIENCED. But you have to be yielded to the Holy Spirit in order to receive it, and you receive it by faith. Walking in the Spirit to me is something different. That is choosing to walk in the Spirit by obeying God instead of the flesh. Janae |
