When anyone offers a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine

flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.
Leviticus 2:1

RELEASE THE ANOINTING INTO YOUR

SITUATION

The grain offering in the Old Testament speaks of Jesus’ sacrifice, and oil in the Bible
speaks of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So the grain offering of fine flour, which had oil
poured on it, speaks of Jesus’ humanity being anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is fully God. But when He came to earth, He literally emptied Himself, taking the form
of a servant (see Philippians 2:7). That is why He needed to be anointed of the Holy Spirit
before He could begin His ministry (see John 1:33). Though fully God, He did things by the
power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was anointed to bring the blessings of God into the lives of people. He first spoke of
His anointing when He was preaching in His hometown—“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor” (Luke 4:18).

Today, Jesus’ anointing has come upon you (see 1 John 2:20). The Bible says that “the
anointing which you have received from Him abides in you” (1 John 2:27). But how is this
anointing in you released?

My friend, it is when you call upon Jesus’ name. In Song of Solomon 1:3, the virgins,
representing the church, love His name, which is like ointment poured forth when spoken.
When they called upon His Name, His fragrance was released and the anointing was
poured forth.
So when you call upon the name of Jesus, you are releasing His anointing. Call upon His
name when you are feeling down and His anointing will lift your spirit up. If you are feeling
dry and empty, just say, “Jesus, Jesus.” Before you know it, a river of refreshing will gush
forth as His anointing flows. Call upon His name when you need a breakthrough and His
anointing will release it to you.

Romans 10:13 says that “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” So call on
Jesus’ name and watch His anointing release your deliverance, healing, protection and
provision, and make you whole!
