The word “anointing” is what I want to emphasize at this point. The anointing is not a gradual thing. “Anointing” is an Old Testament word and an act accomplished by pouring oil on an individual’s head. When they poured oil on a man’s head, it was not a gradual process—when they poured the oil they turned the thing over and poured it out, and it ran all over and down the skirts of his garment.
