What is 'the anointing' and what is meant by 'the anointing breaks the yoke'?

Answer 1

The word Christ is a Greek word. Why the English translators failed to translate it in The Bible, I don't know. But that failure has cost us a great revelation. The word Christ isn't Jesus' last name. It is not a title. It's a word with a very significant meaning. Christ actually means anointed. To anoint is to literally "to pour on, smear all over, or rub into." So the Anointing of God is to have God poured on, smeared all over, and rubbed into. The Anointing of God is God on flesh doing only those things God can do. Practically speaking, what does that Anointing of God on flesh do for us? According to Isaiah 10:27, it destroys the yoke of bondage. Some people say the anointing breaks the yoke. But the word used in Isaiah isn't break, it is destroy. It literally means to obliterate so completely that there is no evidence the yoke ever existed. Now go to Ephesians 2:11-13, translating the word Christ: "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh...were without [the Anointed One], being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in [the Anointed] Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of [the Anointed One]" So according to those scriptures, before you were born again, you were without the Anointed One. If you were without the Anointed One, you were also without the anointing, right? But now, you are in the Anointing of Jesus. That anointing is available to you in every situation to destroy (obliterate completely!) every yoke of bondage. This is why you can have hope in the most hopeless situation. You can break out of that hopeless situation if you'll factor in the anointing. Take hold of that anointing by beginning to expect. Start expecting something good to happen to you. Lay hold of the hope that's set before you in the promises of God. Think about and meditate on those promises. Let them build until you can see yourself with you bills paid....see yourself blessed and prosperous in every way. Remember that Abraham was fully persuaded that what God has promised, he was able also to perform. (Romans 4:21) He hoped against hope (Romans 4:18) God has made a covenant with us just as surely as He made it with Abraham. But instead of making it in blood of animals, He made it with the shed blood of His own Son - Jesus the Anointed One. So begin today, from now on be determined to expect God to keep His covenant promises to you. Fight for the expectancy in the Name of Jesus - the Anointed One.
"Anointing of the sick" is one of the seven sacraments, unfortunately understood to be "extreme unction" (the last anointing [before death] ) Normally the sacrament of anointing is the last of Sacraments received. Baptism, Penence, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, [or/and] Holy Orders, are usually received when an individual is in their 20's. Thus the LAST Sacrament usually received would be the Anointing of the sick, in advanced age.
