The Anointing of the Prophetcommunicate in English again.
When I first came back over into English at Fred Price's
home an hour and a half later, I could only speak a word or two.
I still couldn't even put sentences together.
Many times when I'm preaching or teaching and the
anointing is stronger, a tiny manifestation of this occurs. It's not
a matter of what I want to do—I cannot speak in English. I can
think in English, but I speak in tongues. That comes out of your
spirit.
As a teenager, I had been paralyzed and bedfast. My tongue
became paralyzed and my throat partially paralyzed. Only the
people who spent time around me could understand me. When
the Holy Spirit is on me so strongly, it's almost that same
feeling, except it's not a matter of paralysis.
What is the purpose of becoming speechless? Well, what
purpose was there for the Holy Spirit's coming upon Ezekiel in
the evening, opening his mouth, and making him remain that
way all night until the man came in the morning? The Bible
doesn't tell us what the purpose was.
Personally, I think such things often are a sign, and often
they prepare you for something.
I think there are aspects of the anointing we are going to
come into in the days ahead that we haven't experienced yet. By
this I mean the use of the anointing, the purpose of the
anointing, the utilization of the anointing, ministering under the
anointing, and transferring or transmitting the anointing—on the
one hand to do good and bring blessing, and on the other hand to
bring judgment on those like Elymas who would stand in the
way and hinder the Gospel.
The Ministry of the Seer
The prophet is sometimes called a "seer" in Scripture. Seers
see and know things. I used to operate in this more when I
stayed in people's homes as we traveled.
In fact, I've never stayed in any body's home yet without
