DIVINE ENABLEMENT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (PART 2)
TEXT: Acts 10:37-38King James Version (KJV)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
In continuation of our study of the text, the scriptures also recorded that Jesus went about doing good. If doing good was just physical good then anybody can do it. But there is a great difference in what He did because He did this by the power of the Holy Spirit and this good was not just a feeding and clothing program, though it included it, but it was such supernatural manifestation that was strong enough to set the captives free from the oppressions of the devil.
What He did is seen to be more of those spiritual things like, healing the sick, setting the captives free but He also had a charitable work that met the physical needs of many. If you read carefully, you will notice that when the woman with the alabaster box poured the perfume on Jesus, Judas said in his heart, it could have been sold and the money given to the poor. By reason of this statement it will not be wrong to say that part of the reason Jesus always had a crowd with Him, was because He was always blessing lives physically and spiritually.
If you have the empowering of the Holy Spirit as it was the case with Jesus, then it is expected that you too should be able to bless souls spiritually and physically. He was anointed and it was by the anointing he was doing good. If it is the same Holy Spirit that was upon Jesus that dwells in our mortal body, how come we are not getting great results? You have been going from one place to the other what results and testimonies do you have?
