The Spirit of God Anoints to Preach


Isaiah 61:1, 6, 8, 10,   
1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;  6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, They shall call you the servants of our God...  8... I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant.  10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,..  11...So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

God in Christ brings good news - healing of the heart and soul, freedom from the bondage of sin, no longer its prisoner!  Then He makes us as priests to minister to each other, serving Him and others.  So we receive joy beyond words, made right and righteous in God's eyes that cause us and those who see to give praise to God and all He does... We are called as Christ to preach the good news by His Spirit in us.
