A.B. Simpson emphasizes the significance of the anointing in the life of a believer, illustrating its transformative power through biblical examples such as Jacob's anointing, the consecration of the tabernacle, and the anointing of the priesthood. He explains that the anointing represents the Holy Spirit's presence and work in our lives, calling us to a deeper relationship with God and empowering us for service. Simpson also highlights the anointing's role in healing and restoration, assuring that even the most broken can receive the fullness of the Spirit. Ultimately, he urges believers to examine their lives for any obstructions that may hinder the flow of God's anointing and presence.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of the Church as the Anointed Vessel, highlighting the various expressions of the Holy Spirit's work, particularly the anointing. He explains that the anointing signifies God's commitment and presence, both in the Old and New Testaments, and that the Church, constituted by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, carries the implication of God in the world. The anointing is not based on human choice but is a divine act that grants each member a specific function and purpose within the body of Christ. Sparks warns against the dangers of disregarding the anointing, which can lead to confusion and division, and stresses that every function, no matter how humble, is valuable when anointed. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper understanding of the Church's nature and the importance of the anointing in fulfilling God's purpose.
