Winsome Word
“how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” Acts 10:38 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/act.10.38.nkjv It is often said that God can do everything without man; but He chose never to do anything without man. With every man that is freely surrendered unto God, Peter here admitted that he becomes a true instrument in the hands of God. For example, Jesus of Nazareth was fully anointed by God to speak words of salvation and healing to those who were oppressed by the devil. And even today, if any man can possibly be without himself and be fully influenced by God, his works among the people at home, workplaces and the society will be powered by the winsome words of God. Unfortunately, it is absolutely impossible for us to be intoxicated by the works of our hands and be anointed by the words of God at the same time.
