Praise the Lord, who firmly joined us
Unto the Anointed One.
Thus we all have been anointed
With th’ anointing of the Son.
Unto the Anointed One.
Thus we all have been anointed
With th’ anointing of the Son.
2
Now in Christ, in the anointing,
We are the anointed ones.
Oh, how blessed is this ointment
Poured upon the many sons!
We are the anointed ones.
Oh, how blessed is this ointment
Poured upon the many sons!
3
Hallelujah, the anointing
Unto us God’s essence brings;
It is now abiding in us,
And it teaches us all things.
Unto us God’s essence brings;
It is now abiding in us,
And it teaches us all things.

We’re the Lord’s peculiar treasure,
Purchased by His precious blood.
He has put His seal upon us,
We are those marked out by God.
Purchased by His precious blood.
He has put His seal upon us,
We are those marked out by God.
5
Day by day we’re under sealing,
That we may His likeness share.
By the impress of His Person
We will Jesus’ image bear.
That we may His likeness share.
By the impress of His Person
We will Jesus’ image bear.
6
Now we have the pledge, the foretaste,
Of the Christ we soon will see.
We are longing for the full taste—
God, our feast eternally.
Of the Christ we soon will see.
We are longing for the full taste—
God, our feast eternally.

God has wrought us for this purpose,
Giving us the earnest here,
Guarantee of full enjoyment
Of our Lord Himself, so dear.
Giving us the earnest here,
Guarantee of full enjoyment
Of our Lord Himself, so dear.

The anointing, seal, and earnest—
In our spirit are all three.
Such a wondrous, blest deposit
God has given you and me.
In our spirit are all three.
Such a wondrous, blest deposit
God has given you and me.

We must realize that the Triune God is the Spirit. Do not think that the Father is the Father, the Son is the Son, and the Spirit is the Spirit as separate persons. These three are the all-inclusive Spirit. Second Corinthians 3:17 declares, “The Lord is the Spirit. ” Second Corinthians 1:21-22 says that we have been firmly attached unto the anointed One. The anointed One is Christ, and He is the all-inclusive Spirit. We have been anointed and sealed and have been given the Spirit as the pledge, the guarantee. The anointing gives us the taste of God. By being anointed we receive the essence, the element, of God. By being sealed we have the image of God. By having the pledge, we have the taste of God. We have the element of God, the image of God, and the taste of God. Hallelujah! All this is related to the all-inclusive Spirit, who is the Lord Himself. By the all-inclusive Spirit we are filled, saturated, and mingled with God.
The result is that we are transformed. For this to be fully accomplished, we need to have our face unveiled ( 2 Cor. 3:18 ). To be unveiled means to be without a cover. If you read 2 Corinthians 3 , you will realize that the veil mentioned there is the Scriptures in black and white letters. I am concerned that many Christians are still veiled by the Bible. Others are veiled by their charismatic experiences or by some other experiences. We need the Lord’s mercy to remove all the veils and to give us an unveiled face, without concepts, ideas, and preoccupations. We need to be unveiled and to gaze upon Him as the all-inclusive Spirit. Then we will be transformed into His image.

The Christ = the Anointed One. It seems like when John said we have an anointing he meant the Anointed One is active in us. The Lord is now the Spirit & we have this Spirit so active in us. He is not just sitting idle in us. Praise the Lord the anointing lives in me.
