Religious people seem to be obsessed with “getting the anointing” or at least getting around people they perceive to be anointed. They flock to crusades and send money to TV preachers to get that elusive mystical modern version of the anointing. In reality, it’s not that complicated, elusive, or expensive. Here’s Jesus’ explaining how he got the anointing:
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. (Luke 4:18)
If you want the anointing—the one Jesus had—try ministering to the poor. (But if you are content with the modern version of the anointing, just place your hand on the screen, repeat after me, or send in your best love offering.)

– Question: Who will go to the other poor nations of the world?
– Answer: Here I am Lord, send someone else, or send me?
