Pastor Joey Burns (Unction)6-27-10

There are two Scriptures which refer to the Holy Spirit as the Unction or Anointing: 2 Corinthians 1: 21 shows that it is God who has anointed Christians in connection with their new position in Christ, and 1 John 2: 18-27 indicates that the youngest Christians have all the advantages which the anointing confers.

The Holy Spirit came to the company of the redeemed on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem, and attached Himself to each of them individually, filling them by His power, and qualifying every one of them to be here intelligently and zealously in the testimony for Christ. To that company so wonderfully started in Divine power has God been adding by the work of His grace from that day to this, saving men through faith in the risen Christ, and giving to those saved ones the Holy Spirit to indwell them and to empower them to be here for Christ.
