What does it mean to be anointed by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 2 sources

Being anointed by the Holy Spirit means receiving God's empowering presence that teaches and protects believers.

The anointing from the Holy Spirit, as mentioned in 1 John 2:20, signifies a divine empowerment that equips believers to comprehend truth and discern the voice of Christ from false teachings. This anointing is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but a transformative experience that enables one to grasp the reality of Christ’s redemptive work fully. It creates within the believer a new identity, establishing them as part of the body of Christ and granting them assurance of their salvation. This anointing assures believers that they possess all they need in Christ for both understanding His word and enduring in faith amidst the trials of this world.
