Chapter Nine
The Anointing
Ilove the teaching of the anointing. I remember weeping while I read
Benny Hinn’s book The Anointing. The anointing is God’s grace on us to
empower us to do the works of Jesus in the earth. I will make a point
sometimes when I am speaking when I ask this question: Is Jesus a liar? Of
course he isn’t. He is God, and God can’t lie. So when Jesus made statements
we can be sure they are true. Here are some statements of Jesus.
Mark 16:17­18 says, “And these signs will accompany those that believe: In
my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they
will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it
will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on the sick, and they will
get well.” John 14:12 also says “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in
me will do what I have been doing. He will do what I have been doing. He
will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”
We can see that power and authority which comes by the anointing is supposed
to be at work in Christians as a part of normal Christianity.
Normal Christianity
Raising the dead, cleansing lepers, driving out demons, and healing the sick
is normal Christianity. We can see that Jesus was very clear on that. So why
do so many fall short of this in modern Christianity? The main reason is be­
cause many reject this. People don’t want tongues, supernatural happen­
ings, or anything that would make them feel uncomfortable! Friend, this has
got to change! The end time church of today will see much greater power
and revival than the early church. God always builds on what he is doing.
God never starts big to end weak! He starts with a bang and ends with a
greater bang! The end time church will see unprecedented power and spiri­
tual authority. There already is an anointing available for this in the earth.
Many are flocking to the current revivals to receive this. They are among the
wise and humble. They are the ones Jesus referred to as the wise virgins in
Matthew 25. To usher in the coming of Jesus to the earth, we must have
power.
Spirit of Elijah
Malachi 4:5 states “I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and
dreadful day of the Lord comes.” This refers to the Spirit of Elijah coming.
