be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from
your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of
the anointing oil.

4. Isaiah 61:1-7 (NIV) / Luke 4:18-19 (NIV)
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because
the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the
poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from
darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of
the Lord's favour and the day of vengeance of our

5. 1 Chronicles 29:22 (NIV)

to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.

6. 1 John 2:20 (NIV)
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of
you know the truth.
1 John 2:27 (NIV)
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains
in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as
his anointing teaches you about all things and as that
anointing is real, not counterfeit - just as it has taught you,
remain in him.

7. 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 (NIV)
12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the
Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what
God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not
in words taught us by human wisdom but in words
taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in
spiritual words. 14 The man without the Spirit does not
accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand
them, because they are spiritually discerned.

2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him - the Spirit of
wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel
and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear
of the Lord-- 3 and he will delight in the fear of the
Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears …
