A Unção Real

The song 'A Unção Real' by Harpa Cristã is a deeply spiritual hymn that speaks to the Christian experience of receiving the Holy Spirit, often referred to as the 'Consolador' or Comforter. The lyrics emphasize the promise of Jesus to send the Holy Spirit to His followers, ensuring they are not left as orphans. This divine presence is described as filling believers with heavenly power and love, a transformative experience that aligns with the Pentecostal tradition of receiving the Holy Spirit.

The song calls on believers to seek this 'unção real' or royal anointing, which is the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. It highlights the importance of humility and prayer in receiving this divine gift. The lyrics suggest that this anointing is not just for personal edification but also for the purpose of saving others, indicating a missional aspect to the Christian faith. The repeated invitation to seek God's power underscores the accessibility of the Holy Spirit to all who earnestly seek it.

'A Unção Real' also references the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, filling them with power and enabling them to speak in different tongues. This event is seen as a fulfillment of Jesus' promise and serves as a model for contemporary believers. The song encourages a posture of prayer and faith, urging believers to prostrate themselves and earnestly pray for the heavenly power to descend upon them. This reflects a deep reliance on divine intervention and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.
