THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Lord Jesus said, "28 Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 Revised Standard Version – RSV)
“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36 RSV).
“...........The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8 RSV).
Lord, you said in the scriptures that, "1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion – to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.” (Isaiah 61:1-4 RSV)
Father God, as it is written, indeed, ”the time has come when the Lord will save His people and defeat their enemies” and “give joy and gladness instead of grief” (Isaiah 61:2,3 Good News Bible – GNB).
Dear friend, are you burdened with the yoke of sickness, illness, diseases or affliction, and you are in need of healing? Are you burdened with the yoke of demonic oppression or possession, and you need deliverance? Are you burdened with the yoke of constant or continual torment of the enemy, and you need to be saved? Are you burdened with the yoke of poverty, failure or addiction, and you need a breakthrough? Are you burdened with the yoke of curses or hexes, and you'd love to see them lifted? Are you burdened with the yoke of some habit or lifestyle, and you are in dire need of deliverance? Are you burdened with the yoke of confusion and problems, and you really need direction and solution? Has the evil one burdened your life with one yoke or the other? Dear friend, I've got good news for you!
Thus says the Lord, "And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke will be destroyed from your neck" (Isaiah 10:27 RSV).
Thus says the Lord, "And now I will break his yoke from off you and will burst your bonds asunder" (Nahum 1:13 RSV).
“It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” (Isaiah 10:27 New King James Version - NKJV)
"......... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts (Zechariah 4:6 RSV).
Father God, You said in Your word that "from Me proceeds the Spirit, and I have made the breath of life" (Isaiah 57:16 RSV). In light of these scriptures, Father, I ask that even now as we speak You will release the anointing of the Holy Spirit on all who read or hear Your word. Lord, I ask that You allow Your Spirit to saturate the environment and atmosphere of readers and hearers of Your word even as we speak. Lord, I ask that You allow Your Spirit engulf the lives of those who hear or read your word even as we speak. Father, let the anointing of the Holy Spirit bring about restoration where there is need for restoration, redemption where there is need for redemption, healing where there is need for healing, deliverance where there is need for deliverance, release where there is need for release, uplifting where there is need for uplifting, conviction where there is need for conviction, repentance where there is need for repentance, life where there is need for life, uprooting whatever needs to be uprooted, establishing whatever needs to be established, replacing whatever needs to be replaced. For "until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field. And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places" (Isaiah 32:15-18 RSV).
In the name of Jesus, Satan you are rebuked. In the name of Jesus, even as we speak, we declare a permanent stop to all activity of Satan in the lives of as many as receive this word. For when the enemy shall come like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise standard against him. For the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Lord, let the awesome power of the anointing of the Holy Spirit commence and perfect the work of restoration in the lives of Your people even as this word reaches them.
"And as for me, this is My covenant with them, says the LORD, My Spirit which is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your children, or out of the mouth your children’s children, says the LORD, from this time forth and for evermore" (Isaiah 59:21 RSV).
“And where the Spirit of Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV). Lord, even as we speak, let those who read or hear Your word experience release and relief from every manifestation of Satanic bondage. In the name of Jesus, Satan You have to flee. For according to the word of God, God has given us the power to step on serpent, on scorpions and upon the power of the enemy and they shall in no wise harm us. As it is written, whatever is bind on earth shall be bind in heaven, and whatever we lose on earth shall be lose in heaven. Lord even as we speak, we pronounce release from all yokes and bondage of the enemy. Lord, even as we speak, we release new and fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit, and Lord let it flow into as many lives as come in contact with this word of Yours. With anointed words, we pronounce destruction upon every yoke that has been placed on the shoulder of Your people. According to Your word, we bind every oppressing spirit. According to Your word, we bind every possessing spirit. According to Your word, we bind every negative spirit that may be operating in the lives of Your people. According to Your word, we bind every afflicting spirit and all contrary spirit. We plead the blood of Jesus, and we maintain firm stand on the word of God, and even as we speak, we come against all plans of the enemy and render them null and void. The Lord Jesus said, "Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up" (Matthew 15:13 RSV). Every seed and plant that is not of God, even as we speak, we declare them uprooted in the name of Jesus and by the power of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We welcome and commend you Holy Spirit as you intensify your activity and ministry in the lives of your people.

Dear friend, you've heard of the Lord saying " Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Jesus said, "him whom comes to me I will not cast out" (John 6:37 RSV). For the Lord delight not in the death of sinners, rather His desire is for sinners like you and I to repent. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Isn't it time you make up your mind to give your life to Christ? You've tried everything else in life, haven't you? You've probably tried everything in style. How about giving Jesus a try? As it is written in Romans 10:9 - 13: If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For a person believes with the heart and so is justified, he or she confesses with the lips and so is saved.
The scripture says,
"Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame" (Isaiah 49:23 RSV).
“12 For there is no distinction between persons; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. 13 For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:12-13 RSV)
No, I am not asking you to believe in me. Rather believe in the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved. Open your heart and let Him in. Confess with your mouth that He is the Lord, and that He came in flesh. Plead His precious blood for it washes whiter than snow. And ask Him to come into your life and abide with you as your Lord and Saviour. I strongly encourage you to take this step. Believe me, you surely won't regret it.
Act now, dear friend. Today is the day salvation. The Lord is coming soon. Tomorrow may be too late.
God bless.
Yours
