Jesus The Anointed And The Anointing.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19.

Every word Jesus spoke, every miracle that He performed, and every act of compassion that He displayed flowed from that divine unity He had with His Father and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, “The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do, for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner” — John  5:19 (KJV). 

Jesus’s entire ministry was governed by this sacred law of dependence. He did not move apart from the Father’s will, nor act outside of the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Jesus declared, “I can of Mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me” — John 5:30 (KJV).

The authority of Jesus was never self-derived; it was Holy Spirit-empowered and directed by the Father. The purpose of His coming was not to establish an independent mission, but to fulfill the Father’s plan of redemption.

Jesus said, “For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him who sent Me” — John 6:38 (KJV). Every miracle, every word, every act of mercy was an expression of that divine intent.

When Jesus declared, “It is finished” His cry revealed at least four essential truths—truths we are called not only to understand, but to receive, embrace, and live out. They are:

Heaven’s justice was satisfied.

Sin’s dominion was broken.

The curse was overturned.

Every claim that death and darkness held over humanity was destroyed.

Praise the Lord. Nothing was left undone, and nothing could be added. The Father’s will was perfectly accomplished in the obedience of the Son.

Because of that obedience, Jesus could say, “As the Father has life in Himself, so has He given to the Son to have life in Himself” — John 5:26 (KJV). 

This is the magnitude of the essential requirement of experiencing the New Birth: That same divine life now flows through every believer who abides in Him. Jesus declared, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water” — John 7:38 (KJV). 

Through faith, the believer becomes a vessel of that divine flow, carrying Heaven’s life into a dying world.“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” — John 14:20 (KJV).

This is the reality of union with Christ — to live in Him, to share His life, and to walk in the finished victory of His cross. This is very important:  There Is No Deficiency in the Name of Jesus.

All that Jesus was, His Name will always be. The Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth carries the entirety of His person, the authority of His victory, and the fullness of His power.

Jesus has declared: “Whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” — John 14:13 (KJV).

The Name of Jesus is not a phrase to be repeated; it is a commission to be exercised.  When we pray in His Name, we invoke the authority of His finished work. When believers speak His Name over sickness, bondage, or fear, Heaven responds because Jesus Himself stands behind that Name.

“If you shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it” — John 14:14 (KJV). The power released in that Name is not based on the worthiness of the believer, but on the worthiness of the Son.

His Name carries the full weight of His righteousness, the power of His cross, and the reality of His resurrection. “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” — Luke 10:19 (KJV).

To act in His Name is to stand in His stead.

His authority is our authority.

His victory is our victory.

His Name is our confidence before God, before man, and before the powers of darkness. Though He now sits at the right hand of the Father, the ministry of Jesus Christ continues on earth through His body — the Church.

He said, “As My Father sent Me, even so send I you” — John 20:21 (KJV). The same Spirit that empowered Him has been given to those who believe.

Jesus declared, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto My Father” — John 14:12 (KJV). 

These are not poetic words, but a legal declaration of divine succession. The Father’s work continues through His sons and daughters — those redeemed, anointed, and commissioned in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

The ministry of Jesus never failed, never lacked, and was never overcome by darkness. Therefore, the life of Christ within the believer cannot fail, cannot lack, and cannot be defeated. “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” — Matthew 19:26 (KJV).
