In this episode of The Remnant Radio, hosts Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree dive deep into the theology of the anointing. Together, they explore its roots in the Old Testament, its applications in the New Testament, and its varied interpretations within charismatic circles. This episode unpacks significant biblical texts, such as Jesus’ declaration in Luke 4:18 and the use of anointing oil for healing in James 5:14, while examining the historical and theological development of the concept.

Join us as we tackle questions like:
👉What does the Bible mean by “anointing”?
👉How did the early church practice anointing in connection with baptism and deliverance?
👉How does the charismatic movement interpret and sometimes redefine anointing?

We also discuss practical implications, such as the role of anointing in spiritual gifts and the importance of aligning modern practices with scriptural truth. Drawing from church history, biblical scholarship, and personal ministry experience, this episode provides a nuanced look at one of the most essential and often misunderstood aspects of Christian theology.

If you’re interested in understanding how anointing relates to the power of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of healing and prophecy, or the life of Jesus as the Anointed One (Acts 10:38), this episode is for you.
