Doesn't mean in any way, shape, or form that we have the same anointing that Christ had. Matter of fact, I do not believe that we can have that anointing NOW because of our flesh. Furthermore it would devalue Jesus if we believed that we had the same anointing as Him simply because we would have to be equal with him now in order to have that anointing. Just to concrete that thought, we are not Co-heirs with Christ until we become "overcomers",and that cannot happen until we finish the race.

The greater things that we can do I truly believe is the transformation of us (a lowly, sinful being) into a "child of God". Think about it, that IS a miracle and the greatest one, our master Jesus affirms that! Us, who are not from Heaven, will become Co-heirs with Christ... meaning that we will be above all with the exception of Christ and Father God.... think about that?... awesome right?... kinda makes Jesus walking on water a simple feat eh?... ha ha ha!

Just wanted to share a couple of passages of scripture that came to mind as I was reading your post. The first, part of Romans 8, does indeed say that believers are co-heirs with Christ.

Rom 8:11-19
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. KJV

We will be like him inasmuch as we will receive the inheritance of eternal life.

1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
KJV
