LESSON 9

Biblical Results
of the Anointing
he anointing brings countless blessings, according to Psalm 89:19-29:
LESSON 9
T Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon
one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. I have found
David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand
shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not
exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his
foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my
mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his
hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou
art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my
firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for
evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make
to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
This passage teaches that the following results will be seen upon those who
are anointed:

The anointing brings a radiant countenance, as Psalm 104:15 indicates:

“And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread
which strengtheneth man’s heart.”

The anointing breaks bondages and relieves burdens, as we see in Isaiah

10:27: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from
off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of
the anointing.”

The anointing brings physical healing, as Mark 6:13 teaches us: “And they
cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.”

The anointing brings liberty to the oppressed and causes us to know God’s
presence, as we read in Acts 10:38: “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.”

The anointing brings joy that exceeds any joy known on the earth, accord-
ing to Hebrews 1:9:“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

The anointing gives us spiritual sight and insight, as we learn from

Revelation 3:18: “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be
rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness
do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.”
