Shortly after I had been tempted by the devil for 40 days and nights, I was in the synagogue in Nazareth and read from the book of Isaiah which said, The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.
After I read these words, I closed the book and said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." On the day of Pentecost when the one hundred and twenty of My followers were together, the Holy Spirit delivered the promise of My Father and they all were empowered by My Spirit to be My witnesses.
That day My followers received much more than the ability to speak in tongues. They received the same anointing of My Spirit that I had. Pray for many in My body to receive My Spirit in power so that they can be effective witnesses in this last great harvest.
LUKE 4:16-21
