The Anointing Spirit of God

The Gospel for Life

Chapter 4 The Anointing Spirit of God
1 Samuel 16:12–13 (ESV) — 12 And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward.
And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
ANOINTING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
1. Anointing set apart the anointed one.
2. Oil was a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
3. Anointing signified the spiritual graces of a king.
THE ANOINTED ONE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT Pg. 39
Isaiah 11:1–5 offers the first promise: Isaiah 11:1–5 (ESV) — 1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. 3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, 4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. The Messiah King was coming. He would arise from the stump of Jesse, David’s father, but He would be greater than David. He would be a branch that would spring forth from the roots of David. What’s more, the Spirit of the Lord would not simply give this king a boost at the beginning of His life. The Spirit
would permanently rest on this king forever and ever. This king would be faithful and true to God all His days and would deal righteously with all of His subjects. Pg. 40
Isaiah 42:1–7 gives the second promise:
Isaiah 42:1–7 (ESV) — 1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; 3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he
will faithfully bring forth justice. 4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. 5 Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: 6 “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, 7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. Matthew, the first book in the New Testament, quotes these very words of Isaiah, saying they have been fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 12:17–21).
