ANOINTED NOT ANXIOUS

“And when they bring you before the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, do not be anxious [beforehand] how you shall reply in defense or what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour and [b]moment what [you] ought to say…Luke 12:11-12

Jesus warned us that we would have to put up with persecution. But every time, we face persecution, we have this precious promise, made by our Savior himself. The precious Holy Spirit, which lives in the heart of the true believer, will teach you what to say.

When you look forward to the book of Acts, you think of Peter and John in chapter 4, Stephen in chapter 7 and Paul in chapters 25-26. All of them were taught and anointed by the Spirit of God. They had no Bible at their disposal. All they had was the Word of God hiding in their hearts.

The next time, you come under persecution, remember: Do not be anxious or worried. The Holy Spirit will give you words from God to testify to the hope within you.

God bless you
