Luke 24:49 (KJV) 49 and, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
INSTRUCTION 1 (TARRY / WAIT / PRAY)
The instruction Jesus gave His disciples is to tarry, wait and pray with expectation.
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? (Luke 11:13)
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? (Luke 11:13)

- We must be willing to wait on the Lord.
- We must continue in prayer.
- Must make sure there is no unbelief or doubt in our hearts.
INSTRUCTION 2 (PRESENT YOUR VESSELS)
2 Kings2:3-4(KJV) 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

As the Lord commanded you,
“Bring your vessels, not a few.”

With the Holy Ghost and power.
INSTRUCTION 3 (OVERSHADOW YOU)
Luke 1:35 (JKV) And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
- To overshadow us, brood over us, shield us, protect us from adverse effects.
- Enable us to carry the life of Christ fully.
- Father, let Your presence and glory powerfully outshine.
INSTRUCTION 4 (GO WITNESS)
Acts1:8(KJV) but ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, [19] to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.
Purposes of the anointing are revealed:
- To enable us 'to preach [the] good news' effectively. The news we share about Jesus is 'good'. The anointing will enable us to share it with impact.
- To make us a Spirit-filled messenger a “proclaimer of freedom for the prisoners” — freedom from the prison of sin, of drugs, of depression, of life-dominating habits.
- We are anointed to bring “recovery of sight for the blind”— both physical and spiritual as Jesus did. Not only healing, but other gifts of the Holy Spirit begin to flow from the anointing of the Holy Spirit in your life.
- We are anointed “to release the oppressed”. All around us are people oppressed by sin, by sickness, by demonic attacks, etc.
- You are anointed “to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour” to people ignorant of the comforting message of God's grace.

- Let there be increase in souls coming to your kingdom.
- Lord for this outpouring let there be increase in the harvest. (1Cor3:7)
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Prov. 1:23)
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)
- Open my eyes to behold wondrous things out of Your Word.
- Let me know and understand the mysteries in Your Word.
- Let me speak to others by revelation. (1Cor 14:6).
