ANOINTING SEMINAR SERIES

THE PROPHETIC ANOINTING

As we seek to move into the anointing of God just bear in mind that the
anointing of God is not something mysterious and God does not want to remain a
mystery. He wants to reveal Himself. And its possible for us to be trained and
taught how to move into the anointing of God. We realize that one day will not
be enough so we will concise it and touch on the prophetic anointing and the
healing anointing. Each type of anointing takes on a different operation
altogether. Its a different anointing altogether to teach the word or to minister
the word or to minister in prophecy or in healing. Its a different operation and
each one of them has a slight feel to it.

For example it will be different when you drive a Japanese car to driving a
Continental car. Both are cars but there is slight difference in the feel. And in the
similar way the anointing brings us to the same direction that God wants as we
glorify Jesus Christ but there is a slight difference to the feel to each type of
anointing that God manifests. But before we can move into these types of
anointing, I would have to cover some basic points on the spiritual senses of our
spirit man. However, we will not dwell too long on those areas because they are
available on the tapes and some of you have been with us for some time and we
have spoken on those areas. But for those who have never been in our earlier
teaching sessions, we need to just cover some basic points before we launch forth.

The bible talks about a spiritual world and a natural world. And man was created
to function in both the natural and the spiritual world. When Adam fell into sin,
he ceased functioning in the spiritual world. He became captive only to the
natural world and all unregenerate men today function in the physical realm. We
relate to the physical world through our five senses. There is the sense of sight,
the sense of hearing, the sense of touch, the sense of taste and the sense of smell.
If we lack one of these physical senses a part of the physical world is absent as
far as our experience is concerned. For example one who does not hear can never
appreciate music or sounds that are around. Or one who does not see misses out
on colors. One who is not able to touch misses out on the realm of the physical
world. So to relate to the physical world we have our five senses that God has
given to us.

Now God made the physical world based on the pattern of the spiritual world.
Before God made the physical God made the spiritual. Lets lay some scriptural
foundations first. In the book of Heb. 11:3 By faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not
made of things which are visible. In other words, he is saying that the things that
we see, touch, feel, taste, smell, are not made of things that are visible. They are
made of things that are invisible. They are made in the spirit realm and they
manifest in the physical realm.

In II Cor. 4:18 While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things
which are not seen are eternal. So there is an invisible world called the spiritual
world and there is a natural world called the physical world. The bible says that
the spiritual is greater for it is eternal. The temporal world is lesser. It changes
and is subject to the influences in the spiritual world.

In the book of Rom. 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Notice it says that
when God created this world, He created this world after the invisible world in
which He has all His attributes. And everything that He created in the natural was
to speak of His glory. He says all this natural world was created to show forth His
glory in the invisible realm or in the realm of the spirit. Before God create
something in the natural, God create it first in the spirit realm. As God speaks
forth in the spirit realm then it occurs in the natural realm.

The strange thing is that after Adam fell, the natural realm is not in total
harmony with the spiritual realm. That is quite obvious from the fact that Paul
says in the book of Rom. 8 that he says the whole creation groans. Apparently its
not in harmony. Our whole solar system is not in full harmony with God today; it
is imperfect. One thing that they found in space is what you call space dust.
Theres a lot of cosmic dust up there. In heaven there is no dirt. So there are some
things we will not find in heaven like a vacuum cleaner. There is no such thing as
dust in heaven. But there is a certain portion of the universe that is segregated
and that part of the universe is fallen and is not in harmony with God.

See in the spirit world the moment you conceive something, it shows up there.
The moment you could conceive or think of a fruit in the spiritual realm, it is
created before your eyes. The manifestation is instant. In heaven, if we want to
see somebody, and if God grant permission, we will travel at the speed of
thought. The moment you think of a place or somebody, and if God grant
permission, you are there. Of course God also allow some measure of tourism in
heaven. If all of us keep traveling at the speed of thought, we will miss the sights
and sounds of heaven. God also give rules for leisurely strolling across paradise.
So you could choose to travel at whatever speed you want in heaven. Thats the
realm of the spirit.

And in heaven we can have the body of Jesus and one interesting thing about the
body of Jesus is its ability to pass through material things like walls. When Jesus
appeared after His resurrection His body was different although it was a physical
kind of body. They could touch it, they could feel it in the natural ream. Then it
could pass through a wall. When all the rooms were shut Jesus appeared and said
peace be to you. Its a good thing the room was shut otherwise they would run
off. The amazing thing is that Jesus wanted to show them how physical that body
was and so said, Have you any food? They gave Him some fish. He ate the fish
and it went into Him. After Jesus has eaten He went back through the wall and
the fish went with Him. What a mighty body Jesus has promised to give us in the
spirit world. So in heaven we could pass through walls. Somebody asks, Do the
mansion in heaven have doors? So far people who have gone to heaven have
seen doors in the buildings there. Why are doors there for I dont know. They
dont need doors any more since the bodies of saints in heaven can pass through
walls but I suppose it is still be polite to knock if you want to enter any saints
house. So the spirit world is tremendous. Its a realm that God patterned the earth
after. This is the realm that we want to show here.

Unknown to many people all the five senses of the natural world are patterned
after five senses in the spirit world. When we all get to heaven we will not just be
a blot and we will float about in blot. We dont have hands we dont have legs we
are just a spirit. Formless shapeless. We realize that when a person dies and if
their body drops down and their spirit and soul comes up you could see the form.
There are still two legs, two hands, two eyes, two ears, one nose. We wont
suddenly change and have two nose, one eye, and three ears. What God did was
He created the spirit of man first and then, He created the body after the spirit.
Not the spirit after the body. But the body was created after the spirit. So in
heaven we still can touch, we still can smell, we still can experience things. If you
notice in the bible that we could prove to you that there is a spiritual sense of
touch. There is a realm in the spirit where you could touch. The inward witness
and the five sensations of the inward man are evidences of the touch of the
spirit. For example, there is a spirit of heaviness and there is a spirit of joy. That
is your spirit sensing the spiritual atmosphere. For example, if right now in this
atmosphere there is a lack of oxygen, we would all begin to gasp for air. It would
be hard to breathe. So we could sense it with the sense of natural touch. In the
spiritual realm, we could sense spiritual oppression. We could sense heaviness or
lightness that is there.

And that is one reason why those who are in the word of faith movement find it
hard to understand those who move in the anointing. You find that in the
ministry of God some move in the word of faith, some move in the anointing.
There are many who move in the anointing will never understand those who
move in the word of faith. The reason is this: either sides terminologies seem
contradictory to each other but if you understand their correct perspective, you
will find them to be in harmony with one another.
See when you move in the anointing you have to sense. But people in the word
of faith movement use the wrong term they feel. I feel the anointing. We are not
moved by what we feel, nor by what we see. We are just moved by Gods word
thats all. We neglect to see the fact that this area here is talking not being subject
to the physical world. We are completely unaffected by what we see or what we
feel in the physical world. This is a statement of truth. But what they mean on
this side here is that there is a spiritual experience. Like Elisha when he was
called in II Kings 3 to prophesy, he said, Bring me a minstrel. And a minstrel
was brought before him and the musician played as he heard it, he felt the hand
of God come upon him and then he prophesied. In Mk. 5 Jesus perceived
somebody touching Him. And He asked, Who touched Me? Apparently Jesus
can feel tangibly in the spirit realm the flow of Gods power. So there is in the
anointing you deal with what you call sensation. But they are not actually
physical sensation they are spiritual sensation, which have a side effect in the
natural realm. For that reason in the last days we have to combine both streams,
where we have to learn to move in the word of faith and in the Spirit of God and
flow in both streams together.

I was asked this question, Is it easier to move in the teaching anointing than in
the ministerial anointing? As far as I am concerned, I know that although there
is preparation in the teaching anointing, it is easier to just teach and preach the
revelation received than to move in the anointing. Because to move in the
anointing you have to literally cleanse and prepare yourselves to move into it.
And there is a greater preparation that you require. If I am called to preach the
word, I could have a good meal and just stand and just teach the word and finish
it off. But if I want to move in the anointing of God there is a preparation. There
is a price to pay.

Let me just explain about the price a little bit. Some times when you see those
who move in the anointing of God we say, Well, its by the grace of God that
they have it, and we think that there is no price involved. Kathryn Kuhlman says
there is a price you pay. But what we observed sometimes is this. Every man or
woman of God who have ever operated the anointing have paid a price
somewhere in their lives before the anointing started operating. However, what
happens later is that their character and their ministry are not in harmony with
the ministry and at a certain point in their life they stopped paying the price.
They have learned the art of moving into the anointing but they are no more
paying the price. And there is a grace period before the anointing leaves. What we
observe of those people that are within the grace period where the anointing is
still there but they have stopped paying the price is that God could be so merciful
that sometimes the grace period could be quite a number of years.

Let me show an example. If you learn to give a message in tongues and you know
all the mechanics involved sometimes you dont fully prepare yourself you also
know how to get into that. But the difference is that the anointing begins to
wane. Those who are sharp can pick up whether the anointing is still there or
not. You could pick up straightaway whether there is a freshness of that
relationship with God. Or that person is just living a left over manna.

This is not a statement that I made; its a statement Elijah made to Elisha. When
Elisha said, I want a double portion of the spirit in you, Elijah said, You have
asked a hard thing. There is a price that you pay. Once you paid the price and
you move into it, youve got to maintain your consecration before God to hit on
to higher heights. But there is a breakthrough point that you move into.

So there is the spirit realm and there is a sense of smell, sense of taste, sense of
touch. Isa. 61 talks about the spirit of heaviness. The sensation of the spirit man
for example is found in Acts 18 where it was mentioned that Pauls spirit was
stirred; he was provoked. This is the sensation that we receive in the Spirit of
God. Those are covered in greater details in the tape on the five sensations of
spirit man. Eph. 4 talks about not grieving the Spirit. Eph. 5 talks about being
filled with the Spirit of God. And I Thes. 5 talked about not quenching the Spirit.
These are all sensations that the Spirit of God is telling us. Grieving is when you
are doing something that the Spirit did not ask you to do. Quenching is when
you are not doing something that He told you to do. Thats a different sensation
altogether. So these are examples of the sensations in the Spirit. There is grieving,
quenching, heaviness, and lightness in all these inward witnesses and these are
things you experience in your spirit. And you learn how to identify them.
There is a sense of touch, there is a sense of smell. Phil. 4 Paul says that the
Philippians offering that they gave unto him was a sweet aroma unto the Lord. I
mean God smells it. Bible also has the phrase the fragrance of Christ. There is a
sensation of smell in the spirit realm. In heaven there is a sensation of smell,
there is a sensation of taste. O taste and see that the Lord is good. There is a sense
of taste that we have in the spirit world. Then there is a sense of hearing. Jesus
says in Rev. 2 and 3 he who have an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to
the churches. We have spiritual ears. We have spiritual eyes. Eph. 1:17-18 talks
about the eyes of our understanding. It talks about the inner eyes of our spirit.

So we realize that there are these five sensations of the spirit realm. Just as in the
natural it follows the spiritual. Most of our usage of our five senses is in the
sense of sight and hearing. In a similar way the major emphasis in the bible is on
sight and hearing, spiritual sight and spiritual hearing. We use those two more
that the other sensations but the others are added. If you could see food but
couldnt smell you wouldnt enjoy it. The other sensations are additions to
enhance your experience of the spirit realm. The five physical senses of our
physical body relates to the physical world. There are five spiritual senses of our
spirit being that experiences the spirit world. Of course in our body in heaven
there may be slight differences. One thing I know in the bible that Paul says that
food is for the stomach and stomach for food. And the body is made for God. So
the saints in heaven may have internal organs that are different, if there are any
at all. When you read the book Within the Gates or people who have gone to
heaven when they eat fruits in heaven, the fruits impart something spiritual to
them. The flavor and the fragrance of the fruit just ooze out through them. In this
world our internal organs sustain our physical body. In heaven eating is no more
to sustain our physical body. In this world the process of eating is to bring
nutrition to our physical body. In heaven eating is solely for pleasure. Our voices
are not made for communication in heaven. The moment you think we will know
what you are thinking.

Martin Ford whom I met personally has died and went to be with the Lord. While
he was still alive, he went to heaven and met with Jesus. He said that the moment
he thought, Jesus knew what he was thinking. He also said that the others who
were there knew all his thoughts. Then what are our voices for if we could read
each others thoughts in heaven? Our voices can be used for communication but
its more an addition. Our voices are made to worship the Lord. They are Gods
instruments in heaven that He created to worship Him. So thats the heavenly
realm that God has made. God has created a spirit of man and in perfect state all
those things should be functioning. Just as in the natural, so it is in the spiritual.
In the natural through training you could train your ears to hear a chord. A
person could play a certain chord and you could pick up the key. Musicians have
tuned their ears in training. Those who are blind tend to have a very sensitive
touch. Connoisseurs of food and wine could taste and will know the contents.
Hunters have developed their sense of sight. In the early days in the seminary I
was with a tribal native from East Malaysia. His sense of sight and hearing is
amazing to us. We went to one part of the forest near Perlis and as we were
walking along the jungle path he detected sounds that I could not detect. He says
there is this bird there. And he saw things I never saw. We city folks when we are
dropped into the jungle we are like blind bats. We are not trained to hear and
recognize the sounds of birds and animals.

What we have focussed on is that there are five spiritual senses in the spirit
world. That is the only way that you could relate to the spirit world. The only
way you could relate to the physical world is through your five physical senses.
The only way you could hear or perceive anything from the spirit world will be
through the five spiritual senses. So we need to be aware of them, grow in them
and develop them into the depths that God wants us to have.

So what we are going to touch on from here onward is the prophetic anointing.
That is one of the easiest anointing to move into besides the healing anointing
and the teaching anointing. The prophetic anointing especially operates by the
sense of sight. As you move into the things of the spirit, you will find that as
women and men of God move into the anointing they rely on different
development of their spiritual senses. Of course remember its all through the
Holy Spirit. Its the Holy Spirit who impresses all those things upon your spirit
man.

If you are wondering whether there is a difference between the spirit and the
Holy Spirit, there is. Rom. 1:9 Paul says that he serve God with his spirit. So our
spirit becomes the vehicle by which the Holy Spirit uses in order to flow and
bless mankind. Our spirit is not put aside and the Spirit just bypasses you, no.
The Spirit has to pass systematically as the ark of glory in your spirit man and He
has to flow through your soul and He has to flow through your body.

Therefore, how great God can truly use you depends to a certain extent on the
development of your spirit man, the renewal of your mind and the consecration
of your body. Now each one has yielded in different proportions in different
areas. Some people want to yield everything but their spirits are under
developed. Some are almost half dead. Their spirit has not been fed for a long
time. So we need to develop our spirit man in order for our spirit man to receive
the impressions of the spirit world. And the stronger you develop your spirit man
the more the Holy Spirit can use you. And that takes meditation on the word and
many other keys to develop it.

Secondly, the renewal of our mind plays a major role too. If ever you doubt or
you question some of the things of God, you short-circuit the spirit world. I
know in fellowshipping with people there are some very devout Christians who
have prayed and spent time with God. As they are praying before God they feel
something lifted up and floating. Not physically but they sense a sensation. As
they feel they are taken into the spirit world and some of them panic.
Straightaway they ask, Is it God? Some say, Get behind me, devil. As they
began to rise in the spirit world, doubt comes and they are dropped. The whole
thing stopped. I am reminded of a sister she spends long hours with God. She
had switched off all the lights at night; she was praying and praying until late in
the early of the morning about 2 a.m. or so. Then suddenly she felt the Lords
presence. Her eyes were closed and she could almost sense Him right in front of
her. She said, Lord, I know you are here but please dont appear now. Its
frightening at times.

Because of the fall of man there is a natural inborn fear of the supernatural. We
want it but we are fearful. That is the reason why every time an angel appears do
you know they always say, Fear not. I mean if a white figure appeared in front
of you in your prayer room you will be frightened in the natural if you are not
accustomed to the spirit world. Thats the natural inborn fear that came with
Adam. Because when Adam fell into sin (the same way with Eve), the first thing
that happened was when Gods presence came they ran. There is a carnal inborn
fear of the supernatural. If the angel did not say, Fear not, there would be
nobody to give the message he came to deliver from God. The moment the angel
appears, the dear saint has fled. So before the people could run away, they say,
Fear not. There is an inborn fear of the supernatural but it can be overcome
through the renewal of the mind.

In the account of Peter walking on water, the 12 disciples were in a boat and Jesus
was walking on water towards them. When they saw Jesus from afar some of
them said Its a ghost. If they had been near the shore they would have swam
for their lives. And this Peter who usually engages his mouth before his mind,
said, If its you, Lord, call me to come to You. And Jesus said from afar,
Come. Some of the other disciples may have been very concerned and perhaps
one of them must have said, Peter, its a trick. But Peter sometimes also engages
his body before his mind. He started walking forward and some of them began
to make mental preparations for his funeral. But yet as he stepped forward, he
started walking. As he continued walking, everything was outwardly fine. Was
that all? There was this wind that was howling and blowing across the waters.
And for a moment Peter noticed the wind and the waves. Whatever happened,
happened inside his mind. He took his eyes off Jesus and saw those waves and
fear gripped him and the water gave way underneath his feet. The fleeting
moment of turning away from Jesus and looking at the circumstances short-
circuited the power of God that was holding him up and he started sinking. What
went on in his mind affected what went on in his circumstances. Your defeat or
success depends on your thought life.

Hagin has a book on Right and Wrong Thinking. Its our thoughts that defeat
us. If we want to change the world we have to change our thoughts first. Unless
we change our thoughts we cannot change the world. Just because of those doubts
in him he started sinking. Drowning, he prays some of our favorite prayers
help. There was no time to pray like a long prayer meeting type of prayer. The
Lord was with him and held him up. When the Spirit moves in your life just one
little doubt can cancel it off.
There was this brother who was having lunch with me last Sunday. He was
talking about how he started to move in the anointing of God. He was excited and
he saw tremendous things happening. How he prayed for this little child who
could not talk, could not walk, started talking and walking. He was excited at the
power of God that flowed in his life. He went with his friends to this fried
noodles stall. While they were eating there at night, he was talking to this stall
man and said, You got this heart problem God wants to heal you. He was going
to say come the next day to the meeting. But as he was going to say that he felt
the Lord say to him to pray now. The boldness rose up in him and he said, Right
we pray for you. That man was instantly healed. He said, Do what you could
not do before. He says, Every time I run, I have this lack of breath. Then he
say, You see the lamp post there? You run there and come back. So while they
were having the fried noodles, he did the running. He ran and came back and he
said, I am healed. Who healed you? Jesus. I mean, here was an evangelistic
campaign at the fried noodles stall. Sometimes we forget that the healing of Jesus
can take place in the street. The next day it was still all over him and he was
excited. As he was walking to this Christian bookstall, he saw this person who
was limping. And he was with his friends. The Lord said to pray for him. His
friends went ahead, he wanted to call his friends to wait a while. As he delayed,
that moment he hesitated and doubt came. For three days his spirit was disturbed.
I mean there was a flow and doubts started coming thats it and it took some time
to get back into that flow.

On the other hand theres need to be a little balance. We do not follow every
impression and thought that comes. See all those impressions and thoughts had to
go in line with the anointing within the sense of the inward witness within you.
As it flows together then you know you could move it. The moment you doubt,
you cripple the whole process. As we were operating on those things just now by
His grace He was allowing a demonstration so that we could teach at the same
time. For example if God began to give you a word of knowledge and you
doubted it, you will stop the whole process. But if you know God well enough
and you know there is no doubt about that and you just pursue it and you flow
along with it, God will give more details.

I remember teaching on the subject of the anointing of God in a bible school. For
illustration we just pulled out one person. Then I said, You have this problem in
your body. That person said no. What are you going to do if you say yes and
that person says no? You could miss it too at times. But I prayed for more details.
So I gave a few more details and that person still said no. Then I saw this picture
of this person waking up in the middle of the night and going to the toilet with
that problem. I said in the middle of the night you wake up and did this. He said
yes. So when the Spirit of God is operating you should flow. If at any moment,
doubts occurs you short circuit the process. How much God can flow in our life
depends on the development of our spirit man, the renewal of our thought life,
and the yieldedness of our body.

As we move into the healing anointing there are three keys we want to talk about.
No. 1 is the manifestation. No. 2 is understanding the manifestation. No. 3
channeling the manifestation. As we talk about the prophetic anointing there are
similarities involved but they are also different realms. That is No. 1 you must
perceive and especially you must launch into the area of training your spiritual
eyes. See in the olden days a prophet is also called a seer. In Samuels time you
notice the prophets are called seers. Because they are people accustomed to seeing
visions and revelations. Some people seem to be born with that slant towards
visions and dreams. Others seem to be required to develop it. But whatever it
is, the slant or the special gifting or talent that God has for you still needs
development. You could be the most gifted, talented musician but if you dont go
for training I doubt that you could ever develop your gifts. So the gift is one
thing and the training is another. We need to understand the operation of each so
that it may be that when God wanted us to grow into that area when you
understand it you could be trained into that.

So in the realm of prophetic anointing you will need different things. As a

comparison, in healing you need the three keys, the manifestation, understanding
the manifestation and channeling the manifestation. But in the prophetic
anointing you would need what we call No. 1 the atmosphere. You need a certain
atmosphere where the spirits of people are in contact with God before you could
move into that prophetic gift of God. For example look at the book of II Kings
3:15 But now bring me a musician. Then it happened, when the musician played,
that the hand of the Lord came upon him. Elisha was asked to prophesy. He was
asked to bring the word of the Lord. He stood in the office of a prophet. Even
though he stood in the office of a prophet, he cannot do the ministry of a prophet
unless his spirit permits him. But he could create the atmosphere where if the
spirit willed, the spirit would do so. Of all things he asked for music. The first
part of moving deep in prophetic anointing is usually a musical atmosphere, a
worshipful reverence. The more you could have that in your life the more you
could develop it.

If we understand the need for a musical atmosphere to facilitate the prophetic

anointing, we would know how to receive a prophet as a prophet. For example if
Paul Cain comes and if people dont understand how to tap on the prophetic
anointing, do you know he could be a prophet and he couldnt function as a
prophet? He would just teach the word and go home. But if you understand how
a prophetic office operates even if you dont operate it, you could know how to
tap on that. For example if I were to invite Paul Cain, I will make sure that we
have very deep worship. I know that kind of anointing will only come where he
really functions as a full prophet of God when there is deep worship. But if that
deep worship is not present, the prophet will just share Gods word and go home.

Hagin is also affected to a certain extend when he function in the office of a

prophet. In his book, he said there are times the prophet mantle would fall upon
him then the worship leader changes the song or goes into something else and he
said the anointing lifted off him like a bird. And he has no more prophetic
mantle on him. He is a prophet but the anointing is not there to function. So if we
dont understand how the prophet anointing operates we will also in a sense
hinder it. So we have to understand these things to tap on the anointing of God
in that realm.

Just to show more in the book of I Sam. when Saul was going to be crowned
king. In I Sam. 10 and you read about the school of prophets, which was in
Elijahs time. Samuel started the school of prophet. Do you notice before Samuel
came out as a prophet the bible said that there was no open revelation? It was a
dry period. It was when Israel was backslidden, the priests were backslidden, Eli
and his sons were backslidden and undisciplined that there were no prophets
manifesting. Lets see I Sam. 3:19 So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and
let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba
knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the Lord. So the prophets
office was upon him. It started mainly in a revival for him. Because in I Sam. 3:1
it says that the word of the Lord was rare in those days. There was no widespread
revelation.

If you notice in Israel there were three types of anointing possible in the Old
Testament. In the new there are much more, we have the five-fold, ministry of
believers and many types of anointing. But in the old there were three main key
ministries, the prophet, the priest and the king. Every time you see Israel at its
peak it was because the prophet, priest and king were functioning. Sometimes
you see only the prophet functioning. Sometimes you see only the priest
functioning. Sometimes you see only the king functioning. But if you could have
all three anointing functioning thats when revival takes place.

The bible says in the New Testament in Eph. 4:11-12 that God gives some
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some pastors and teachers. If you
have all the five-fold office functioning in the fullness the church will reach its
perfection that would be revival. But sadly sometimes you see only a pastor here a
teacher there then there is no prophet. See these five-fold ministries need to arise.
Part of the problem in their lack of arising is to meet the structural problem in the
church. Today we are starting a church structure that allows the five-fold ministry
to rise. If we could succeed in raising those five-fold ministries we will succeed
in bringing perfection in the body of Christ.

So we have Samuel here who is one of those rare people. He stood in three
anointing. The anointing of a judge is a type of a kingly anointing. Samuel was a
prophet, a priest and a judge. That is why he moved in such powerful anointing
in his time. David moved in two anointing. He was a king and he was a prophet.
Some others like Moses had the three fold anointing on him. He was a judge to
the people of Israel. He also was a priest and he was in a sense a prophet. But as
his ministry progressed, he imparted part of the kingly anointing to seventy
people. Then the priestly anointing was imparted upon Aaron and Moses
continues on his realm of anointing as a prophet. So there are all these
progressions. You notice that the key point in Israel when Israel was at its peak
was when all the three-fold anointing was functioning. In Samuels time; he was
the one who started the school of the prophets. You see the anointing can be
taught. Samuel must have imparted it but at the time Elisha came to the scene he
was with the sons of the prophets. That was third generation down the line. So
the anointing could be imparted if there is proper training.

If you read the books of the old Pentecostal revival it mentioned how in the early
50s, which was the decade of evangelists, healing was in the air. Almost every
evangelist, including non-Pentecostal evangelists were conducting healing
services. Why was it easy for them to flow into that? It is due to the same
principle that I mentioned that the brother shared with me. When he came for
any healing or evangelistic meeting, there was no doubt in his mind. He hears
God and he operates like a little child. God spoke and he obeyed and he saw
healing taking place but when he started doubting the whole process stopped.
That is what I mean that something can be taught and something has to be
caught. You are caught in the flow of the anointing and you move into that. And
it becomes easy as we continue moving in the anointing.

So before a prophetic anointing can function you need an atmosphere of worship

and a correct kind of music to function in. Samuel knew the key and he trained
his group of prophets in the book of I Samuel 10:5 After that you shall come to
the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have
come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from
the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute and a harp before
them, and they will be prophesying. Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you
and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

Notice there that the atmosphere of music. What were the prophets doing?
Tongues have not been manifested yet. Its a New Testament dispensation. You
see all the gifts of the Spirit manifest except the gift of tongues, which was
reserved for the New Testament dispensation. But tongues were not manifested in
the Old Testament. So what were they doing? They were prophesying with their
understanding with music. Can you imagine being in the atmosphere somebody
is saying, The Lord is good. And they were doing it under a tree. And its so
easy to move into the prophetic anointing. That even when someone was not
called to be a prophet like Saul got into contact with them and the Spirit came
upon him he started prophesying. It was an atmosphere with that situation. You
notice that if you remove music out of some of the movies today you remove the
excitement. Its the music that gets your heart beating fast. Its the music that
vibrates your heart. Its the music that has a natural influence on our being.

Now in the spiritual realm music has an influence too. Remember we mentioned
just now what God does to us has to be through our spirit, soul and physical
body. If your mind is not in state of rest where it should be in God you can never
operate in the gift. There has to be a certain state of mind that you are in before
you could operate it. So a certain atmosphere must be present. I reckon that if I
could have the time to spend about 8 hours with God everyday and do nothing,
just live like a man of God on a hill somewhere and just have prayer and
intercession all around. And you got no administrative work to do no shopping
to do and nothing else to do but just to be with God. I would reckon every time I
walk out I would be able to see things in peoples life everywhere I go. Why,
because your state of mind and the atmosphere you are filling yourself with
enhances your receptivity to the spirit world. But its not possible all the time.
Why, because we have earthly duties to do. If you are married you have your
responsibility to your family. You have to spend time with your kids you have to
spend time with your family. If you have some physical duties on earth that you
have to be faithful to do, you have to do it. And you got to fulfill that to the
fullness. Which is why its wrong for a Christian to use their employers time to
spend time with the Lord. They employ you to work for them and youve got to
give a days work. You cannot go to the office and use the companys time to read
the bible and neglect the work just because your employer is a spirit filled,
demons chasing, hand laying, bible carrying Christian. You say, Boss, Jesus said
to put Him first and not to do any office work today. No, that is not the kind of
Christian that the bible talks about.

So there are, what I call, times when you have an atmosphere where you are
easily yielded to God, and for those times music, seems crucial. In a prophetic
anointing music in fact is crucial to the function of the whole anointing.

Let me show more from the book of I Chron. 25:1 Moreover David and the
captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of
Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments,
and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing that service was: Of
the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph
were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the
king. Notice the word that keep occurring like in verse one who should
prophesy with harps, stringed instruments and cymbals. Why does it tie it
together with stringed instrument? There is a relationship. In verse 3 under the
direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with harp to give thanks and to
praise the Lord. Now these are important statements that the bible gives to us.
Although David was essentially a king, he tapped into the anointing of prophecy
because he was basically a musician and a worshiper of God.

Our friend Kenneth Hagin is tone deaf. He tried to sing and the teacher gave up
on him. You notice the psalms he wrote in some of his books are beautiful. See
he still depends on the worship atmosphere even though he himself is not a
musician. You notice psalms and music go together. We need No. 1 the
atmosphere that is created for that prophetic anointing to begin operation. If you
provide the right atmosphere where people are called to the ministry of prophets,
it will stir that gift and it will raise it forth. Elisha said bring me a minstrel. He
moved into the prophetic world. If you want to go into the prophetic realm, go
into psalms and songs onto the Lord. Then you move from that psalm into the
prophetic realm. In that way, you could develop and train your prophetic gift of
God. So No. 1 is atmosphere.

No. 2 is the training of your imagination. Remember I said that a prophet is

normally called a seer. Hagin mentioned in his book, The Ministry of a
Prophet, that for a prophet to stand in the office of a prophet you need two
revelations gifts and the gift of prophecy. Revelation gifts have a lot to do with
your spiritual senses of sight. And your spiritual sense of sight is linked to your
imagination.

There are three types of visions. Open vision, close vision and spiritual vision.
Open vision is where you can see the natural world and the spiritual world at the
same time. Closed vision is where you can see only the spiritual world and none
of the physical world. Usually its in a state of trance. Like Peter was on the
rooftop, he fell into a trance and he saw a vision of unclean animals. A spiritual
vision is also known as inner vision; it is what you see with the inner eyes of
your spirit, which is reflected upon the canvas of your imagination. For that
reason people called to be prophets have to be even more careful about watching
T.V. or movies since they depend so much on their spiritual sight. So they are to
keep their imagination pure before God so that there wont be any subliminal
effect.

For example if you have been watching too much T.V. or movies then when you
come to move in the spirit the moment you close your eyes you see the echo of
what you have seen. Your natural eyes cast the shadow of their images on the
screen of your mind and are locked onto your imagination. Its easier to paint a
painting on a clean canvas than on a dirty one. Now every one of us has spiritual
eyes. But some of our spiritual eyes are a little bit short sighted. When you close
your eyes to see the spiritual world you see it blurry. The problem is there are no
special glasses for that. The only treatment you have is Gods word.

When I first tried to develop my spiritual sight, it was blurred. I started moving
into some of the gifts of God after spending one whole year in meditation of the
word. I read nothing but the word. And I confessed nothing but the word for one
whole year. That one year changed my life and ministry. Somewhere about half
way through, the manifestation of the gifts started operating. In one of those
meetings, I started having all those sensations. At first I didnt understand that. I
asked, Lord, what is this? At first I said, Get behind me, devil. The Holy
Spirit said, Thats Me you are rebuking. So I realized that I was sensing some
of the sensations of my spirit man. I started calling them out. But then I wanted
to walk closer with God. I said, Lord, if there were one thousand people in a
meeting and I said somebody here has a backache, of course somebody will have
a backache among the one thousand people there. It doesnt bring You much
glory. I want to bring You more glory. People, this is like playing a guessing
game. So I asked, Lord, cant we have more accuracy than that? The Lord said,
Thats your problem. You are not hearing properly. Learn to depend on your
other senses. Thats when I began to tune my spiritual eyes also as they were out
of frequency. And I also tuned my hearing.
Let say this if you have been watching T.V. or movies you have tuned your mind
to that and when you switch to the spiritual realm your frequency is stuck to
those images from the TV or movies. You are still seeing gun smoke and all that.
So in a meeting you try to operate in the gifts and you see gun smoke coming
out. Today they see all these cartoons when they close their eyes they see Ninja
Turtles coming out. Nothing wrong in themselves but let me tell you if I know I
have to minister in the Spirit, I would put in more consecration. To teach the
word is not a problem and that is why some pastors could turn on the T.V. before
a meeting because they know the bible like the back of their hand. But if you
want to move in the anointing you cant. Because when you switch on T.V. you
see all these movies that are there even those innocent cartoons, like Casper the
ghost. All that you saw is still being reflected in your mind. It is what I call
interference. If you want to move in the Spirit you have to consecrate yourself.
Keep your mind pure and clean so that there are no interferences as you move
into the realm of the spirit. Thats the second realm where we need to keep our
eyes clean for God to operate the vision through you.

Right now if you close your eyes for a moment and if I want you to picture the
house that you are staying, you would see it very clearly. But right now some of
you see it clearly but some see it a little bit blur. Then in your imagination right
now I want you to see yourself ministering. Right now I want you to see yourself
in your next meeting. The wonderful thing is whatever you see if you are tuned
to the spirit realm the Spirit will show it to you. Our spirits, which is linked to
our minds, is not limited by past, present or future. In the same way that you saw
your past, like for example, the house that you are staying, so in the same way
you could move into the future. But you have to what I call hang loose with the
Lord. And your desires got to set to neutral to determine that only Gods will be
done. If your desires are not set to neutral and you already had a pre-conceived
idea, it will affect the clarity of what you are receiving. You see you have already
pre-set your station.

Sometimes people pray for Gods will to be done. They pray, God, is she the
one for me? But their desire is already fixed. Please show me a picture of the
one you have for me. Then every time a real picture comes, his desire sees
another picture and it overwhelms the former. And you always say, Ah,
confirmation. You see so much and you dream about the girl you liked so much
that when you sleep you also dream about that person. Confirmation again.
Sorry, boy, your frequency is not adjusted properly. The dial must be set to zero
neither yes no but right with God. Your will be done. When you set it loose you
could actually move into the spirit realm.

For example sometimes before a meeting I pray and hang loose with the Lord.
And I could see some of the things that will take place. Sometimes I could see
exactly where people will be sitting. I could see the type of sickness that God
wants to heal. What you are doing is in your spirit you have moved into the
future. And our spirit can also move into geographical distances. I train my spirit
and my mind to the extent that if I so desire I could put my spirit and mind in
any place I want. It is not astral traveling. Its relating to the Holy Spirit who
gives a revelation like Paul telling the Colossians, I behold your order. To the
Corinthians, he says, When you put this person aside and pronounce your ex-
communication and judgment on this guy, my spirit was with yours.

If I want to see what happens in my church in a meeting, in my private chamber

I would pray and spend time with God and my spirit would go back to whatever
I know in the natural. And I hang loose there and see myself standing on the left
side of the church. You could pick it in the spirit only when there is an
atmosphere. You cant do it all the time. There is no distance in the spirit you
could see as far as you want to in the spirit realm. So its important for us that we
link our mind with our spirit and move into that tremendous realm that God
wants us to. We have to start somewhere.

Whenever you minister to people in the area of prophesying, you see something.
If your mind is not so renewed, some of those things you see are distractions.
Some of those things we see are from the enemy if we have seen them before in
our life. That is why before you move into the anointing you have to be
absolutely sure and know within yourself that there is no unconfessed sin in your
life. We are not saying you must be perfect. You dont need to be perfect to move
into the anointing but you need to be under the blood. If someone who is not
fully yielded to the Lord has sin in his life and start doing the mechanics of what
I am teaching today, he will open himself to demons. Demonic influence will
come. But the fact is many Christians have failed to understand the mechanics of
moving correctly in the anointing. Their failure to do so disables them from
discerning the imitation in the demonic realm when they have violated Gods
word in some ways.

So all these are important for us to know that we have to train our inner eyes of
our spirit. And in any service that you worship the Lord sometimes gives you to
see pictures. A lot of Christians are ignoring them. I know because when God
started showing me what His voice is like it was so easy. I told God that I have
been ignoring it all the time. He has been speaking but I have been ignoring His
voice. I didnt know that some of them sound like my own thoughts. Some of our
thoughts come from God, some from the devil and some from our own self. But
the thing is that we are missing some of the thoughts that are coming from God
through our spirit being.

You see when Paul Cain moves into the prophetic anointing, oftentimes he would
come to a meeting blind-folded. He refuses to see anybody in his hotel room. He
spends his whole time with God. Whenever he travels, it is not for shopping but
for ministering.

Sometimes people think just because they got tickets to fly to another place and
teach the word, they have become the five-fold ministry. No. That is not
evangelist, thats a tourist. Those who desire to move into Gods anointing you
have no choice but to consecrate yourself. Paul Cain would spend hours in his
hotel room. He would not speak to anybody. Sometimes he just shows himself for
a while, takes a small bite and get back to his room. Then his team members
would blindfold him. Now he does not require that but his concentration would
be greater if he does that. In the early days even seeing people can distract what
he is seeing in the spirit. So he will blind fold himself and he will go to the
meeting. Then he would take out his blindfold and start calling people whom he
had seen in the spirit. Why, so that there will be no hindrance in what he is
seeing in the eyes of his understanding. Of course a person must choose to open
himself in the spirit.
You could sense whether people are opened or not to the Lords ministry. If the
people is closed up to the ministry, the Lord will not violate his free choice. The
only possible way is by what I call a supernatural act of which is very rare. The
Lord will not reveal a thing about a persons life who doesnt open himself. When
you minister to every person like right now as I am speaking to you there is
virtually nothing to see in the spiritual realm. But as I open my spirit after God
and if I am ministering in the area of prophecy, I begin to see things in the spirit.

Thus, the second area is the eye. You must train your spiritual eye. As I close my
spiritual eyes and I began to see into the spirit the first. A picture is coming to
me right now and it is a dove. As I see the dove fly into the sky, the Lord is
speaking to me that the grace and the anointing that this sister is having is like a
dove. Now with that picture that I see and with the knowledge that I have in
God, I am able to explain the meaning of the vision. See I have a teaching series
on the symbols of the Holy Spirit. The symbols of oil, dove and water for the
Holy Spirit have their own respective peculiar significance. Now, as I understand
the symbols of the Spirit, dove to me speaks about the gentleness, quietness and
preparation to hear Gods voice. So because of my scriptural knowledge in that
area my interpretation becomes more accurate. If you dont have scripture
knowledge this part that you move into is also limited. So suppose you close your
eyes and see a snake. You dont understand the full significance; you dont know
what is going on. You can receive a right revelation and give out the wrong
prophecy. This is where you need some more fine-tuning. But the problem in the
body of Christ is if you dont have openness like this you miss one they will
shoot you down as a false prophet before you even have a chance to tune your
radio properly. So we should not call them prophets but rather prophets under
training.

In my church we allow people to make honest mistakes. Long ago when I was in
this denomination, the elders were passing a rule that there should be no
speaking in tongues in public. Then we showed them the word Paul said do not
forbid speaking in tongue. They said we are not forbidding it; we just are not
allowing it until the people can do it well. So I say if they dont have a chance to
try how can they do it well? Its just like I am telling you dont swim until you
know how to swim well. Dont drive the car until you can drive it well. I mean
there must be a time when you are given an atmosphere and thank God the
church is the place to do it. And this session we want to let you all have freedom.
There must be a time when we make honest mistakes not that we purposely want
to go out and be a self proclaimed false prophet and mislead people into the
abyss. No, there are a lot of people who miss a bit here and there. We need to
give place for that. We need to encourage that in our church.

Let me tell you a lot of pastors and ministers are afraid to move in their gifting
because they are afraid to make mistakes. What happens if I call and nobody
comes forward? What happens if I pray for the sick and nobody gets healed
instead they die. Somebody asked Kenneth Copeland, What would you do if
you pray for a person and he drops down dead. Copeland said he would say,
NEXT. Just continue in the things of the Lord. We need a time to learn and a
process to train. Because the realm of the spirit can be trained, it can be caught.
Its because of this the fear of making mistakes, the fear of failure is terrorizing
people. Even before they do it they are afraid of failing. See your responsibility is
to as honestly and sincerely as possible yield to the spirit and operate it.
However, the response is between people and God. Your responsibility is just to
obey God and dont grieve the Spirit.

I still have the picture of the dove here. See in the spirit world you also have
zoom lens. Its just like our eyes can adjust to scrutinizing something and then
generally. You could for example look at people generally all around or you
could just examine one person. So in the spirit world you could also zoom in. So
what I have is a picture of this dove flying. So now I am zooming right into the
dove and the dove will get bigger and somehow as I zoom in the spirit, the Holy
Spirit seems to draw my attention to the legs of the dove. I realize that the legs
are holding something. I find it very strange that the dove is holding a little fish.
As I zoom in very carefully, I see the size of the fish growing larger.

Now the dove goes out of the picture and all I see is the fish. As I have this
picture then comes this word that I am receiving inside. See my eyes are tuned
and my ears are tuned and I am sensing that there is this one of her family
members who is very young that she is carrying a burden for. I need more details
before she can confirm it. I am seeing now that fish turns into the face of this
little child. As I focus on this little child, I could see the concern and the love that
she has for this child. I am seeking to pick up whether this is her child or
somebody elses child. All I am picking right now is that the child seems to be a
very gifted child. That child seems to have a desire in the Lord.

That child has been hindered to a certain extend from attending church. The
parents of the child are not giving permission for the child to attend church. The
fact about the permission here is this - in line with the dove - the Lord is
answering your prayers to a certain extent but this child is being stopped from
going to church here and there. There are people preventing the child. The
reason why the Lord brings this child to mind is because this has been your key
concern in your life. The Lord says that He is seeing all these things and hearing
all these things as you hold on to the Lord and be faithful to the Lord. What you
have to do is that you break the influences that are over this child. Then pray for
laborers to be sent to the field and God will lead this child to Him.

We are going to pray for that now Father in the name of Jesus we come against
every demonic influence etc.

So you pick up things like this and you have to open up yourself to God. I am
explaining all these things, which I dont do normally in ministry. However, since
this is a training teaching session, I am doing this so that you could understand
what is involved and what is going on. As I look in this direction I began to feel
a little bit of pressure over my left eye. Of course to operate in this area you got
to be in perfect health. Some people have their own medical problem and they
think they have a word of knowledge for others. They have their own backache
and say somebody has a backache. As I focus on that I begin feel more
impression in my left eye. I ask God, Lord, what is this? You got to ask
questions. When I am operating the gift I am in close contact with the Lord. I am
asking Him questions all the time and hearing His communication. The Lord is
invisible to the people but not invisible to me. I am in close communication after
all its the Lords ministry through us. We are just His instruments. We have to be
close touch with the Lord receiving information from the Lord. Sometimes if you
dont ask He wont give. In fact if you dont pay attention to Him, you dont get
any revelation and vision from Him.

Its just like Moses and the burning bush. Moses saw the bush burning for a long
time only when he came near the bush he said, I must see why the bush is
burning and yet it is not consumed. See he didnt know it was God yet. All he
saw was a phenomenon. When he zoomed in on the phenomena, he received the
details. And as he came near the bush he heard the bush say, Moses, Moses. So
we have to zoom in before we get other details.

As I zoom into some particular area of a vision, I also receive some further
insights and revelations. This is the process of being led by God. You remember
that Samuel was told by God to go to Jesses house. Jesse had eight sons. God
said go and anoint a king in place of Saul. When Samuel went to Jesses house, he
asked him where were his sons. So Jesse brought Eliab. The moment he saw
Eliab, Samuel thought that this must be the one. It was his own thought. But the
Lord said this is not the one. So Eliab walked past and Samuel said no. Finally all
seven sons walked past and none were singled out to be king. Samuel probably
felt like some pastors who operate in the gifts and called and nobody came
forward. He has gone to this house to anoint the son. All seven sons passed by
and there were no more sons apparently. Either he missed God or something.
You called me here to anoint someone to be king and seven guys who had
passed by and You never told me which one in fact You said none of them. And
he said to Jesse, Have you any other son? I tell you if the answer is no, he
would have fainted. He said, Yes, one more. When he saw David the Lord said,
This is the one.

The question is why did God make him go through this fashion parade? Why
didnt God just tell him that it was David that He has chosen? If God can single
out to Samuel the family of Jesse, God could also have told him that David was
the chosen one. I am sure God knew it was David. But yet God withheld part of
the information. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. If Samuel were
not obedient to the first part, he would never get the second part. He had to do
his best to follow what he knows and receive from God. God could have just told
him David. He would have gone there and say, Your David is the one; bring
him here. Sometimes God does that but many times He would require obedience.
So he had to go through these eight sons. Some of them are wondering whether
this prophet has gone mentally off or something by making all these people walk
by. But he cant help it; he is just obeying God.

When William Branham minister, he would just walk up and down platform not
doing anything. People would wonder what he is doing there. Has he gone loco?
No, he is waiting for the manifestation of his angel.

William Branham was a forerunner of the signs and wonders ministry. In 1946 an
angel visited him and ignited what we call The voice of healing revival. This
revival really took off in the 50s and 60s with Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, A.A. Allen,
R.T. Ritchie, Gordon Lindsay and Voice of Healing newsletter. Tent meetings
of tens of thousands of people filled up all across America. It all started with this
poor, uneducated, stuttering man who had an angelic visitation and received a
healing anointing. But it wasnt just a healing anointing - they called William
Branham a prophet of notable signs and wonders. He moved in more accurate
realms of revelation than almost anybody else that I know of, other than Jesus.
Some say his gifting was 100 percent accurate.

When people would come on the platform to receive healing and

Branham entered that realm, he would go into visions and tell everyone many
details of their life. He did this only as a sign that the Lord would heal them.
People would wait in healing lines for hours. They would have to get a card with
a number to get into the healing line to even get prayer. He would wait for an
angel to come and stand behind him on his left side. He would do nothing until
the angel arrived. Then he would yell out the angel is here! People would line
up according to their number and Branham would begin to go

into visions.

To give you an idea of what it commonly looked like at these meetings, here is
Branham speaking at a service: Now you are here and I see you now. People can
still hear me. The woman is having a sleepless time. She cant sleep. Is that right
woman? You get very sick. You can hardly eat. Youre getting very sick. Youre
afraid its gallstones. Thats right, thats right, exactly, she says. He says you get
nauseous feelings. Theres also somebody else that youre interested in - thats
your husband. Oh, he has a mental illness. And thats kind of a real mental
nervous problem. Oh, and your husband is bothered with some kind of a trouble
hes in. Hes trying to get something, a oh, a business deal. Its a pension or
something hes trying to get. Thats right. Your husbands trying to get a pension
and youve got this fear that youve got gallstones and these are all the symptoms.
And your husbands also got a mental condition. (And then Branham goes on to
talk about another woman who has come for healing.) Oh, I also see a little boy
and the boy is about 12 years old or hes something like that. Hes a young fella,
and really hes not your son. He is a son - youve raised him and you think that
something went wrong with him. He isnt, hes just a little boy. Hell be all right.
Sure its O.K. Believe the right thing - everything will be all right. Go on
believing that God will

heal you.

Then Branham wouldnt even pray for these people and they would walk
out of the meeting healed of all of their conditions. When he accurately told them
the things he saw about their lives that was the vision and the dream. To
validate the vision and the dream, God would bring a sign of healing in their
body. This is the supernatural dimension that the Holy Spirit is beginning to
release in the church today.

When Kathryn Kuhlman had finished ministering the word and when the
anointing has not descended yet, she would keep on talking. People would
wonder whats she up to. She was waiting for what she knew to be the operation
of her gift in her life.

So we need to know and understand the operations of God. So here is where as

we focus on the vision, we get more details. As I come back to focus on vision,
there it comes again. I am beginning to receive some other things. There is a thick
sensation all over the right area here. As I focus on that the Lord says that this
sister here is the one to experience that kind of operation. So sometimes the Lord
just pinpoint the person concerned. The Lord says that demon forces are coming
against her life. And there are yet a few more battles ahead of you. As I minister
to her now I see a few battles ahead. Now that vision will not float by if I dont
do all these things. As I obey God, God gives this vision that I see floating by.
And what I see floating by is a picture of war. I see explosion and I interpret it as
warfare in her life that is taking place. And the Lord is saying that there are a few
battles. In fact I hear three explosions. So I know that there are three more future
battles that are coming. The Lord said that she would go through each one of
them. And the Lord says that the second one is going to be stronger. But the first
one is going to be a weak one. And then after that a small one. And after that you
are going to overcome completely and see the fullness of the Lords
manifestation. These things relate to your life. It relates to provision in your life,
the supply of your need, your financial area. Satan is working to wreck your
financial area. The second realm of battle that He is revealing is in the realm of
your spiritual ministry. You will succeed and you will begin to minister. The
third area is finding favor with your loved one. God will give you favor and you
will overcome these battles completely. Gods blessing will be fully upon your
life in Jesus name.

So thats an example by the permission of God we are doing that. Like operating
and learning step by step prophetic anointing. So sometimes when there is a
prophetic anointing youve got to operate it and obey it. What will happen if
suddenly I have a prophetic anointing and prophesying over people? And if for a
split second I doubted, it will cut the whole process. Remember we are
prophesying under willful yielding. I could choose not to yield anytime. God
does not force me. I had to choose to obey Him. And if doubt comes for a
moment while I am ministering, it will stop the whole process. God could
sometimes reveal things here, things there and then sometimes I had doubt, it
will cut the whole process. You got to enter into what I call a free flow and just
obey God in that area. So thats the second opening the eyes onto the Lord.

The third area, which we have already operated in, is to hear the interpretation of
the vision we saw. Now hearing is important because if you dont hear correctly
your application is wrong. And your hearing is fine-tuned by your knowledge of
the word. The background in the word of God is going to affect your ability to
apply what you see. Some people see something in the spirit but they cannot
interpret the meaning, so therefore they cannot apply it. And it doesnt benefit at
all. The background that we have in the knowledge of the word is going to help
us and apply in our lives in that area.

Right now, we shall rise together and just worship the Lord for some time. As we
continue to worship the Lord, I want you to close your eyes and open yourself to
the spirit world. This is the time of learning and making mistakes. Whatever you
receive from God, I want you to step right up. If it is to show you about
somebody else you come right up. You share it to me and I want to help you to
move into that and understand that phenomena so that you could flow into that.
This is the time of learning and moving into the things of God. At the same time
its also a genuine ministry that God doing in our midst. God is ministering
through the body. He is not only using me, He is going to use you to minister to
the body of Christ. And the body will minister to one and other. So open your
heart and spirit unto God and according to your state of your preparation you
will be able to move in straightaway and begin to receive something right now.
As you worship God open your imagination and give it to the Lord right now.
(Worshiping the Lord in tongues).

If you receive a picture or anything whether you understand it or not come right
up. If you see something in your imagination and you know its to be imparted to
the body here you just come right up.

What did you see? She saw Jesus with a hook and He takes some of the sheep
and He patted them. That is what I call a general leading. The interpretation of it
is that Jesus wants to minister personally to some people here. So that is a
confirmation. She could have given the word of the Lord in this way saying that
there are some here that the Lord wants to minister to. That is basically the
essence of the message.

Next. The Lord showed me a lot of green pasture and He led me to a hill. And He
was leading this one sister and just let her be. She spent a lot of time with Him.
After that he just pointed His hand and showed her towards a place and said,
This is where you go. And bring your own nation, your own tribe. I saw many
of her kind followed here. And the Lord just left and she was ministering to
them. That sister you just prayed for. Do you know her vision continues from
there? The Lord is with the same shepherds rod and the green pastures. But
instead of seeing sheep she sees people. Thats what the bible means in I Cor.
Everybody gets a manifestation, each one is given their gift and is harmonizing
with the whole.

Our sister the Lord wants to minister to you. Could you come right up to the end?
According to this vision and revelation the Lord anoints you for the ministry. He
has a special work and call in your life. And the calling in your life will begin to
come forth stronger and stronger. And the Lords anointing will be on your life
and you will lead many others unto Him.

Next. I keep seeing a picture of snowcapped mountain with a church and a cross
at the top of it. I had this picture for several months but just now I saw the face of
somebody whom I have been praying for.

We will continue with the next one. There is something the Lord is saying there
we will see whats in there. I saw a waterfall and the water was very pure and just
by the side of it there was a blazing fire and the waterfall didnt quench the fire.
Her vision is in line with that. Its amazing sometimes five or sometimes twenty
people see the same thing in the spirit realm and thats quite common for it to
happen.

Next girl. I saw a girl who is my student and she is screaming. We comfort her
but she doesnt want to tell us the truth. She has been praying for a sister who is
ill. And this sister is ministering to that student. The Lord wants to say something
in that area. That is just the beginning of something. What you need to do when
you receive that the next time is to zoom in. Ask the Lord to show you more of
what He wants you to do. Is there anything You want me to do about that sister?
Is there any way that You are speaking to me? And the Lord will give some
other details. Right now the Lord is telling you that in His perfect will you have
ministered to that sister. And the Lord is teaching you and showing you
something that you are to do to minister to that sister. He is going to give you
today as you open yourself to the Lord.

Next. I saw a thick cloud then I saw a blue flower blooming in front of me. Then
there are raindrops coming all over. Then I saw some other flowers around but in
front of me is a very blue flower blooming. That is about some people that God
wants to minister to in a sense. While she is saying that I observe something over
her abdominal problem area. Do you have abdominal problem before? I have
chest problem. So the Lord wants to touch you and heal you. There seems to be
some sort of power that is going all over your thigh area. (Praying over her).

Next. As for me I saw the word throne of grace. After which I saw two crowns
one is a kingly crown and the other one I think for the princess. I saw jewels I
saw them sparkle What she saw is what I call a general vision. But there is a
message there. Sometimes God has a general word for His body. As you are
sharing it I pick something up that God is going to drop some mantle on some
people here.

Next. I saw a black snake whose mouth was opened up and I saw the whole
snake zoom in towards me. Then suddenly the vision faded away. I saw the Lord
standing upright. And that same snake quite far off is looking at me. When you
shared that I also opened up my spirit up to God. And I pick it up that it regards
an area in your life that you are going to overcome. In the area of your life that
the enemy is going to come against you but the Lord says, Take heart you are
going to overcome in that area. Thats like a spiritual warning in God. You know
that all the time before the enemy try to send anything I picked it up. If there is
any problem that is going to happen in the church I know it ahead of time. And I
deal with it in the spirit. So thats what I call supernatural leading and protection.
Sometimes the Lord could give a warning in that way.

Next. I saw a classroom a very big one and the students heads are of different
colors. I saw brown heads, golden heads and some black ones. This vision came
three times. I just saw myself in front of them and I dont know what I was
talking. I believe the Lord is showing you some of your areas of ministry. You
are going to minister in that same manner you saw. The Lord is showing you
your area of ministry. The Lord also reveals that you have this chest condition
that He wants to heal you.

Next. As I was worshiping the Lord, I saw this great land, a green mountain. I am
pretty sure the land is Australia. The Lord is talking about the move of God that
is coming. It has something to do with the ministry.

Next. I saw a vision of a robe and the Lord told me that represents the Trinity.
The second part as we were worshiping again I saw a well. This well is strange as
it got a lever. And in the end this robe came right down to the well, The Lord
gave me a name Katherine. The Lord told me that this sister does actually
encounter the spiritual realm and she is not so sure the Lord can use her in that
realm. She just had to cling onto the power of the Trinity and the Lord can bring
her from glory to glory. Do you know any sister named Katherine? I dont know
whether this is for her or whether she is here today or she is in the ministry. Can
sister Katherine come right up? Sometimes I come and minister before people the
picture of somebody else that I ministered comes to my mind who has a
particular ailment. At first I didnt understand what it is. Then I later understood
what it is. The Lord is revealing to me the person I stand before has the same
ailment. When I made the connection I checked it up then I found that was what
the Lord was trying to say. Well Katherine I believe that the Lord is speaking to
your life and you have a tremendous call. What He is saying is that you have
been through a tremendous time of preparation. And the Lord is going to operate
the gifts in the Spirit in you even more and more. And as you open yourself up in
the spirit He is going to give onto your life such understanding and revelation
such experiences that you never dream about to anoint you with.

Next. I saw a pyramid and it seems to be quite big. So I asked the Lord what does
it mean. Then I seem to see the base of the pyramid and I see a door. The door
opens and I go in the door. The other doors open. I just felt like weeping and
crying. The doors seem opening and other people here go inside. The Lord seems
to impress in the area of the work that you are doing. He is going to open doors
onto you. But you are going to just see one door open at first. As you move and
launch forth into that suddenly many other doors are going to open. Many doors
of opportunities will be opening up. Through those doors the Lords word is
prosperity. And you could be someone who could really bless the body of Christ
with finances. And the Lord said that He has opened that one door. The pyramid
represents the world. And you are going to walk in the realm of the world, spoils
and harvests, the finances of the world and bring them before God. God is going
to anoint you especially in that area.

Next. As we were worshiping I saw a picture of a candle burning. As I zoom in I

saw like a Hindu deity behind that candle. So I asked, Lord, what is it for? He
showed me a picture of a middle age Indian woman. I believe the Lord impressed
on me that this woman still has some bondage to this deity. Possibly he could be
seeing a word of knowledge about an Indian lady here. By the leading of the
Lord I sense that we should minister to you now. But we will minister to you
privately afterwards.

Next. I saw the power of darkness and later the glory of God was shining
brightly and after a while a black spot appeared on that light. And it started to
cover three quarter of that bright light. Later I had a vision of one of the sisters
here. Can you recognize the sister here? When you mentioned that I asked the
Lord what was it. The Lord talked about emotions in that area. That Satan is
trying to overcome you in the area of emotion in your life. The Lord said not to
be troubled about people and what they said. Dont allow your emotional life to
succumb and overcome your spiritual life. Let the glory of God flow through
your life and let it overwhelm through you.

Next. I saw a vision of a brother and in that vision I saw the lens on the right side
of the spectacle cracked. So the Lord says that he has a faulty judgment on
people. I heard the Lord says that he has some white hairs on his head. The Lord
shall add some wisdom in his life. We wont call that person up. Certain type of
prophecy and certain revelations you must be loving enough to know how to
minister. So since its a little bit on that side, that is to be prayed and ministered
personally.
Next. I got this picture of the tabernacle in the Old Testament. And He mentioned
particularly the altar of incense. The altar of incense was in the holy place in the
old tabernacle. Then suddenly it moved into the holy of holies. So I saw the veil
open and the altar of incense is able to go into the holy of holies. I felt what the
Lord is saying is that now your emotion the altar of incense represents worship
includes feelings and emotions. Its O.K. to present your feelings and your
emotions into the worship. The word that says you should worship God in spirit
and in truth seems to be contradicting but I felt what it means is your emotions
and feeling are now sanctified by the Lord. You got to use them in the worship.
Besides the altar of incense is the lamp stand. What I am impressed about is
revelation. I always thought that revelation only comes from the spirit, which is
in the holy of holies. What you have is exactly for your life. You have such a
hunger for God. The Lord says because you hold back on your emotions you
could not yield yourself more. The Lord said to yield more on your emotions
even giving all your emotions to the Lord in worship. Remember that all
revelations come through the spirit man. But the revelation has a side effect on
the other realms of our being, on our soul and on our physical body.

Next. Just now as we were worshiping I saw ministering angels all standing
behind and there is one angel besides you here and there is a white dove on you.
As I was worshiping the Lord, I saw a flower and the angels around were
worshiping. Then I saw another vision. I saw horses and on one of the horses
there was a rider with a helmet on it. And the helmet is gold. I have specially
prayed for this meeting because when you open yourself you need protection
around. So some of you are a bit frightened. The angels of God surround us and
the blood of Jesus is here. As you open yourself to the Lord be not afraid for
when you ask for the Spirit the Father will not give you a scorpion. And there is a
protection of the body here. So some of you are like the flower opening up. And
God is going to use your life.

Next. I feel that there is a sister here with abdominal pain. As you shared it the
Lord told me that person is already healed.

Next. I got a picture of three eagles flying together in one circle. Then suddenly I
saw the eye of one eagle. It has a kind of war like look on that eagle. Then I also
saw the talons of the eagle. They are very sharp. Its the army of God.

Next. While we were singing the last song and suddenly the love of God poured
on me. And instantly I saw in the spiritual realm that Pastor Peter Tan was there.
The Lord says because of his obedience, I love this son and I am going to release
more love to him. And he is going to minister with more power.

Next. I saw an eagle flying and it came to a stand still. Then after that I saw birds
flying in there and they also came to a stand still. You see how the earlier vision
of the eagles compliment with this vision. So what she saw ties with the brothers
vision with the eagle, which represents the army of God. And the eagle also
represents healing anointing. The birds also represent the army of God that
comes. And there is a healing anointing falling right here in the place. And some
of you are healed without realizing it. The eye roaming about is the Lords Spirit.

Next. I saw two white doves and they just joined together. Dove represents the
peace of the Lord and the stillness to hearing Gods voice. Thats under the
symbols of the Holy Spirit I spoke about that. See the wind of God represents
creative work.

Next. I saw the face of Jesus just now. He had a happy look. I like to say
something about last night. Last night at about 1 2 a.m., I had a vision. I was
lying on the bed. I saw palm trees. I closed my eyes again then the same vision
repeated itself. The moon always represents the church. Palm trees represent the
Christians. What you are seeing is the move of God. God is just saying that the
move of God is coming.
