The Spirit comes upon men and women to enable them to do all the work of the kingdom. Isaiah predicted the day when God would "pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground" and would pour out his Spirit "on your offspring ... " (Is 44:3) The Spirit was to be upon the anointed Servant , to enable him to accomplish the many tasks of the kingdom, "The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news, ... bind up ... proclaim ... " and more (Is 61:1-2).
