Understanding the Anointingfrom it.
In one of our Holy Spirit seminars at RHEMA Bible
Training Center, I began to teach about the Holy Spirit within
you in the New Birth, and the Holy Spirit upon you in the
baptism with the Holy Spirit. One night as we all began to flow
in the Spirit, the power of God fell on us and all 3,000 people
were dancing. We had an African ambassador to the United
Nations there, and even he was dancing in the Spirit.
Years ago in Pentecost I saw people dance in the Spirit—I
dance in the Spirit myself sometimes—but I never saw anything
like that in my life. We didn't have anything worked up, either.
Too many times people try to work up something in the flesh.
That doesn't produce any power. It's really obnoxious, in fact.
While we were dancing and praising God, people started
getting healed all over the place. Just like you'd snapped your
finger, people all over that building were healed as that
corporate anointing began to work.
There was a 12-year-old boy there on crutches. He had
broken his leg playing football. He laid down his crutches and
came running down the aisle. He and my grandson stood on the
platform weeping, and he was instantly healed. I didn't have to
pray for any body's healing. You see, we had become one in
worship.
The Word of God says to praise God in the dance. Music
and dancing belong to God and His people. The devil has stolen
both and perverted them.
Did you ever notice the place praise had in the Old
Testament? Some will argue, "Yes, but Brother Hagin, that's in
the Old Testament."
I know it. That's just what I wanted you to say.
If praise had such a great place in worship and ministry in
the Old Testament when they were operating under the type and
shadow of the New, how much more of a place should it have
with us?
