Anointing of Joy

Heb. 1: 8,9 - "But of the Son He says, 'Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His Kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy companions.'"

Psalm 45: 3-8 - "Gird Thy sword on Thy thigh, O Mighty One (warrior), in Thy splendor and Thy majesty. And in Thy majesty ride on victoriously, for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness......Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.......Thou hast loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of joy above Thy fellows. All Thy garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia."

Nugget of Gold: The oil of joy/gladness is the anointing that Jesus has as a victorious warrior. This anointing is available to His people. Ask for it. Be filled with His joy! Rejoice with gladness!

Chuck Pierce: "This is the year of God's triumphant reserve. Triumph is linked to Joy!"

"Triumph" - a victory or conquest through military action; the joy or exultation of victory or success (Websters)

"Reserve" - that which has been kept for future use to trump the enemy!
