The Anointing (priest, king, pilgrim)

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)



“How God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth…”
And then followed that
Wonderful opportunity
Expressed by Peter
In the house of Cornelius.
A capability showered upon
Son of God.
To bless, heal, explain, comfort, deliver.
To stomp out the
Works of the Devil.
His rotten works
Without exception.
Holy Ghost convicts, suggests
Equips, commissions
The meek ones
To walk in the steps of Jesus.
To receive of this Anointing.
To hear the Whispers of the Father.
Become His partners of Joy.
And assist a hurting World.
