The Corporate Anointingfell off their feet. Acts 16:26 tells us, "And suddenly there was a
great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were
shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened and every
one's bands were loosed." But this wasn't an earthquake as we
know it, because it just affected this one group. An earthquake
wouldn't cause the bands the prisoners were bound with to fall
off. It wouldn't cause the stocks on their feet to fall off. But the
bands and stocks fell off them. Remember Isaiah 10:27 tells us
the anointing breaks the yoke.
The Power of the Corporate Anointing
I can be anointed myself and lay hands on people, and a
certain percentage of them will get healed. But the corporate
anointing has a greater effect.
One time I was preaching and it seemed like a wind went
through the building. Everybody heard it. And that fast, every
sinner in the building was saved. Every backslider was
reclaimed. Everyone who didn't have the Holy Spirit sat there
talking in tongues. Every sick person was healed.
There was a woman who was lying on a stretcher. She had
been operated on six times and doctors had said there was no use
operating anymore. She'd been given six months to live and four
of those months were gone. She looked like the picture of death
—just a corpse, wasted away. Nobody had prayed for her or
touched her at the meeting, but when that wind went through,
she leaped off the stretcher and ran up the aisles healed.
There was another woman who thought she was saved
because she was a church member. But when the wind blew
through she got saved—she realized she never had been saved
before. She sat there talking in tongues. When she got home, all
her physical ailments had disappeared. I was back in that place
holding a revival later and she said, "Not only that, but I've never
touched another cigarette; I have never even wanted one. The
thought never occurred to me to smoke."
God wants us to have the greater corporate anointing in
these days, and we're going to have it. We're not a half step away
