Understanding the Anointing

platform. I knew what was going to happen, but I didn't tell a
soul. I didn't want to be accused of causing it or influencing it
somehow.
When I started laying hands on the people during that
seminar, they started falling everywhere. The anointing on me
was strong.
After ministering that night, I wobbled around like a drunk. I

start burning.
