Dear Lord God,

I long for the blessing of Your anointing 

on my life, on my mind, on my work 

and on my ministry...

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Psalm 23:5

Please anoint me with spiritual vision for my eyes and spiritual wisdom for my mind.

Please show me Your way for me today...

Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
Psalm 86:11

Shine Your light upon the 

path I am to travel...

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105

Please help me to understand the things that my natural mind cannot comprehend...

...that Christ may dwell in (my) heart through faith; that (I), being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that (I) may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Please bless me with Your anointing, 

that I may be pleasing to you and a 

blessing to others.

In the powerful name of Jesus 

I thank You and pray,

Amen.

The Holy Spirit: The Anointing

But the anointing which you have received
from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
1 John 2:27

The Holy Spirit is the Anointing who comes to give you spiritual insight. When you don’t understand a Scripture, let Him anoint your spiritual eyes to see what the passage says. When you don’t know where to go, let Him anoint your understanding so that you can choose the right paths. When you can’t see Jesus working in your life, let Him anoint your spiritual perception. Remember, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come to help believers glorify the Son (John 16:14). Let the Holy Spirit magnify Jesus in your life today.

Holy Spirit, I want to glorify Jesus. Come anoint me with Your presence so that I can see the work of Jesus in my life and glorify Him with my praise. I need Your anointing today.

The Holy Spirit is the Anointing who comes to enlighten the Scriptures in your heart. But He doesn’t work in a vacuum. You must read and memorize the Bible. You must study the Bible, comparing Scripture to Scripture. You must use commentaries and dictionaries. You must give time meditating on the Word of God. Then you must ask for Him to come help you understand spiritual things. When you seek enlightenment from the Holy Spirit, you are asking for the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. He will come shine light on your darkened understanding.

Holy Spirit, come shine Your light in my mind. Help me see everything You want me to know, and then help me do all You want me to accomplish. Come anoint me to know the Scripture. Amen.
