The Holy Spirit is also associated with anointing of the Spirit of God that may include the power that comes with the in dwelling or presence of that Holy Spirit.

Leviticus 2:4 "And if thou bring an oblation <07133> of a meat offering baken in the oven, [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5 And if thy oblation <07133-Corban> [be] a meat offering [baken] in a pan, it shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil."
Leviticus 22:18 "Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever [he be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation<07133-Corban> for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings<05071>, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 19  Ye shall offer at your own will ..."
