Understanding the Anointing

(Chris Devlin) #1
The Anointing of the Prophet

we didn't have a tape recorder with us. He got most of it.
I've never had an experience exactly like this. I've had two
similar experiences since then, but not with the same measure of
anointing.
It seemed as if I were sitting beside myself on the edge of
that bed. It seemed as if there were two of me. I was listening
with my physical ears to what this fellow sitting beside me said.
It seemed to me that I had nothing whatsoever to do with
what he was saying. It seemed as if I were completely taken over

the easiest thing in the world.
For two hours the Lord took us through the years 1964,

sometimes in preaching, but more often in teaching.)
Let me show you something about the prophet's ministry. I
don't operate there all the time, but neither did Elijah and Elisha.
Suddenly while teaching the Word (I'm a teacher so I can
operate in that office all the time), I moved over into this other
area. Right in front of me, with my eyes wide open, I had what I
call a "mini-vision."
As if it had literally happened, I saw a young woman
standing in the aisle. I saw myself point to her and say, "Be
