Understanding the Anointing

The Healing Anointing

in mind.
One person said to me, "I came because I had stomach
trouble and I wanted to get healed. I not only got healed, but
since that power came into me, I've never heard another rapping
on the wall in the nighttime. I've never heard any more voices.
All that activity stopped."
Thank God, the diseases "departed from them, and the evil
spirits went out of them." For there is a power that is greater
than the power of the devil. There is a power that's greater than
disease and sickness. It is the power of God.
How does this power operate? Jesus is anointed with it, but
how are you going to get that anointing over to someone else?
The anointing will manifest in various ways. John G. Lake
compared it to electricity. He said, "Electricity is God's power in
the natural realm, but the Holy Ghost power is God's power in
the spirit realm."
Electricity flows, doesn't it? So there is a similarity, because
this supernatural power also flows.
After men discovered electricity, they had to learn the rules
and laws that governed it. They finally learned how to get
electricity to flow. They learned that not just anything—not just
any metal—will conduct electricity.
And I've learned from experience that not just any material
or substance will conduct God's power. We have seen in
Scripture that that anointing will flow right into cloth, as it did
into Jesus' clothes and Paul's handkerchiefs.
Even though paper has some of the same ingredients in it, I
never have been able to get that anointing to go into paper,
leather, or any other substance. But it will flow into cloth. Why?
I don't know. In the same way, I don't know why every kind of
material or metal will not conduct electricity, but it won't.
We can say, however, that the Holy Spirit power flowed out
of Jesus into the woman with the issue of blood. We could use a
scriptural terminology and say that the Holy Spirit power flows
