According to Isaiah 10:27, it refers to the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God. That power is on Jesus, and when the miracles broke out in Samaria it’s what Philip was preaching about. He was preaching essentially the same message Peter preached that’s recorded in Acts 10:38-40: “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. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly.” This is, and always has been, the message that brings the miracle-working power of God on the scene. It’s the good news that Jesus is anointed—that He was anointed during His earthly ministry; that He was crucified, God raised Him from the dead, and He’s still alive and anointed today! When the people at Samaria heard that message, they didn’t argue with it. They didn’t just shrug their shoulders as if it was no big deal. They “with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did” (Acts 8:6). Notice, those people didn’t just see miracles, they also heard them. How did they hear miracles? Philip was an eyewitness to Jesus’ ministry, and he told them about all the wonderful things Jesus did. He told them about his own life and how Jesus had transformed it. He told them about people like blind Bartimaeus who got his sight, and the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and got healed. Philip told the multitudes in Samaria about miracle after miracle—and they paid heed to what he said. They chose to believe that Jesus is anointed and, as a result, the living, Anointed Jesus manifested Himself among them! 6 : BVOV
