To be “anointed” and to have the ability to “impart” are different, but they relate and work together.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor….” Luke 4:18
For us to be anointed means that a “divine enabling” rests upon us. Whatever we do or say, we will do it better, according to the level of anointing to which we have attained.
“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established.” Romans 1:11
The ability to “impart” includes, but goes beyond our being anointed. If we have this God given ability of impartation, then whatever we say or do, under an anointing, will deeply affect those who are hearing. Also, the very “substance” of His being (Jesus) will be imparted into the spirit of those who are responsive.
“I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me. That I may cause those that love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.” Proverbs 8:17, 21
