Understanding the Anointing

(Chris Devlin) #1
The Healing Anointing

Just because you're anointed to do something doesn't mean you
know everything."
I'm thinking of another fellow. One night they brought five
adults from a school for the deaf and dumb to his service. All
five were instantly healed. He laid his hands on a blind woman.
Instantly her eyes were opened. Another person came in on a
stretcher. Her doctor had given her up to die. She was instantly
healed.
Yet the preacher didn't know a thing in the world about the
Bible when it came to faith and very little when it came to
healing. I nearly fell off my seat one night at one statement the
poor fellow made. And then he got sick.
The anointing would come on him, he'd minister under it,
some of the greatest things you've ever seen would happen, and
then the anointing would lift.
The anointing doesn't remain on you in manifestation,
because you'd wear out physically. You couldn't stand it. It's like
getting hold of a live electric wire—you couldn't hold on to it
forever.
I've had such a strong anointing on me that I've vibrated—
I've shaken physically under it. Even my eyeballs jumped! I've
had such a strong anointing on me that I couldn't even see the
crowd. They thought I was looking right at them, but I didn't
even know they were there, for I was over in this other realm.
I get more results when I get over there, but I don't stay over
there, because I can't stand it. My body's still mortal, and I can't
stand it.
I've had to say to the Lord, "Lord, turn it off! Just turn it off!
I can't stand it. I can't take any more!"
Some time ago we were having dinner with friends in the
ministry, and we were talking about the healing anointing.
This evangelist said, "Through the years, I've always woven
in and out of the healing anointing—I haven't always had that
anointing on me—but in recent times it has come back on me.
