THE ANOINTING: The Power of God That Breaks Chains and Changes Lives
Revival in Surprise, Arizona | Champion Church Surprise
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” — Acts 10:38 (KJV)
There is something powerful about the anointing of God. It is not religious tradition, emotional excitement, or something reserved for a select few. The anointing is the work and power of the Holy Spirit operating in and through the lives of believers.
And here is something you need to understand:
The anointing is not just something God used yesterday. It is something He is making available to His people TODAY!
At Champion Church Surprise, we believe that God is stirring hearts for revival in Surprise, Arizona. Not just another church service. Not just another religious experience. But a genuine move of the Holy Spirit that transforms lives, restores families, brings healing, and sets people free!
Because when Jesus shows up, things change!
Jesus Was Anointed With the Holy Spirit and Power
Acts 10:38 tells us that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.
Think about that!
Jesus, the Son of God, walked this earth demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. He healed the sick, delivered those oppressed by the devil, restored broken lives, and brought hope to people who had given up.
Jesus didn’t just preach about freedom. He brought freedom!
In Luke 4:18, Jesus declared:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives…”
Jesus made His mission clear.
He came for the brokenhearted. He came for those living in bondage. He came for those who needed healing, restoration, and freedom.
And the good news is that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)
What He did then, He is still able to do today!
The Anointing Can Break What Has Been Holding You
Maybe you have been fighting battles nobody knows about.
Maybe fear has controlled your decisions. Anxiety has stolen your peace. Addiction has held you captive. Or perhaps the pain of your past has convinced you that your future will never be different.
But I want to encourage you with something powerful:
Your bondage does not have to become your identity!
Isaiah 10:27 speaks of the yoke being destroyed because of the anointing.
Throughout Scripture, the yoke represents a burden or form of oppression. And what a powerful picture this gives us of the freedom God brings!
There are things that human strength alone cannot overcome. There are burdens we were never meant to carry by ourselves.
But Jesus came to set captives free!
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is not a religious performance. It is God’s power at work, bringing people into the freedom that Jesus purchased through His death and resurrection.
The enemy wants you bound by your past. Jesus wants you walking in the freedom of your future!
Whatever you are facing, don’t give up. Your situation is not greater than the power of God.
The Anointing Is Available to Believers Today
Here is where this gets exciting!
The Holy Spirit was not given only to pastors, evangelists, or people standing behind pulpits.
The Holy Spirit was given to the Church!
Jesus said in Acts 1:8:
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…”
That promise wasn’t limited to a church building or a Sunday morning service.
God wants to work through ordinary people who are surrendered to Him.
You can pray for your family. You can encourage the brokenhearted. You can share Jesus with someone who has lost hope. You can believe God for healing and miracles.
You don’t have to have a title to be used by God.
You don’t need a microphone to carry the presence of God!
The same Holy Spirit who empowered the early Church is still working through believers today.
And I believe it is time for the Church to stop merely talking about the power of God and start walking in obedience to the Holy Spirit!
Revival Is More Than a Meeting
When we talk about revival in Surprise, Arizona, we are not simply talking about hosting special services.
We are talking about hearts returning to Jesus.
Families being restored.
People being saved.
Believers being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Lives being transformed by the presence and power of God.
Real revival doesn’t end when the worship music stops. Real revival changes the way we live!
Our prayer is that Surprise, AZ, and the surrounding West Valley communities experience a genuine spiritual awakening.
We believe God wants to raise up believers who are hungry for His Word, sensitive to His Spirit, and bold enough to demonstrate His love.
Not for the glory of a church.
But for the glory of JESUS!
