The Dove represents the Holy Spirit and a validation of the anointing. Anointing is the outflow of the Holy Spirit through a sanctified vessel. It is a divine enabling grace (Acts 4:5-20).
It is likened unto Rain in Zechariah 10:1; Joel 2:23), but it is neither the “WELL” of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14), nor the flowing “RIVERS” of living water (John 7:38) for these are referring to the operations of the HOLY GHOST at the new birth and at baptism of believers (not of water) respectively.
This is the rain of the POWER of God from above to increase the water levels of both the “WELL” and the “RIVER” to bring about the overflow (Luke 4:18-19).
The anointing determines the volume of water in the rivers, which in turn determines the function of which they can be put. Similarly, for example the level of anointing in a man determines the number of people he can carry along or his productivity as a man of God e.g. compare (Acts 2:41) with (Acts 4:8-32) when 3,000 (three thousand) and multitudes of people received Christ respectively after baptism in the Holy Ghost.
The Lord Jesus, as a perfect example, came under a strong anointing and his fame went abroad (Acts 10:38). It makes the christian life active and full of results. As it were, it enthrones the believer (John 14:12, 1 Peter 2:9, Revelations 1:6). The anointing breaks every yoke of the devil and demolishes any spiritual mountain (Isaiah 10:27).
