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
couldn't get to my car unaided, much less drive it home.
Somebody had to drive me home and help me out of the car.
They got me in a big recliner, but it was two hours before I got
back to normal and could get up out of the chair and walk.
This is one reason I get away from the crowd in healing
crusades. The anointing seems to settle down in my legs like that
and I can't walk.
Also, when I'm ministering under that anointing, I'll tell
people, "Don't talk to me." You see, if I get back over in the
natural, mental realm, I'll lose the anointing. So I don't want
people to touch me or do anything that would bring me back into
the physical realm. I want to be left alone.
My wife and the people who work with me in the crusades
tell me things that happen in the healing line that I never know
happened (that doesn't mean I'm unconscious). Sometimes funny
things happen, and they'll start laughing, but if I were to be
aware of it and laugh with them, I'd lose the anointing and would
get back over into the natural.
I always have a measure of that anointing—always. And I
can begin talking about it and it will come into manifestation to
a lesser or greater degree. Often the palms of both my hands will
start burning.
Making the Anointing Stronger
I can make the anointing come on me stronger by doing
certain things: a little fasting, a little extra prayer, a little extra
waiting on God, although I don't always have time to do that.
This brings me to another thought: I have found that when I
