WITNESSES

Acts 1:8 “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.”
Witnesses: “One who can give a firsthand account of something seen, heard, or experienced. b. One who furnishes evidence. 2. Something that serves as evidence; a sign” (American Heritage Dictionary).
After which the Holy Ghost has come upon us we receive power to become a living evidence or a sign Jesus is real; our living and how we do life becomes a sign pointing others to Christ – The anointed one.
As a result of His presence in us we become evidence Jesus is real – Present in our actions and reactions, present in the way we think and in the way we do life. 1 Corinthians 1:24 declare this of Christ, “…Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” Christ in the original language of scripture means “anointed one.” Therefore, the anointed one is the power of God, and He is the wisdom of God. This simply means He is our ability; He is the answer as to how we should conduct ourselves for He is the wisdom of God.
Jesus is the power (anointing/ability) the Holy Ghost puts on us and in us; this is how He becomes the anointing in our lives, He smears Jesus all over us. Anointing in the original language of scripture is Chrisma in the noun form; it signifies an unguent, or anointing. Unguent is a salve or ointment used for healing or soothing.
Christians: “little Christ or little anointed ones;” folks who have Jesus smeared all over them is a work of the Holy Ghost. Being healed in our actions and reactions becomes a sign Jesus has been smeared upon us by the Holy Ghost; this is His work and this is the anointing.
