Transferable Anointing
A residue of God’s glory and power can reside
in clothing, handkerchiefs and aprons, oil, water, hair, through a person’s
shadow, wine or juice, food, music, laying on of hands.
1. The woman with the issue of blood who touched
the hem of Jesus’ garment was instantly made whole.
“And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood
for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she
said to herself, ‘If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.’ But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her
He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well. And the
woman was made well from that hour” (NKJV).
Matthew 9:20-22
2. When Jesus and His disciples crossed over
to the region of Gennesaret, those who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment were
made completely whole.
“When they had crossed over, they came to the
land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent
out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, and
begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as
touched it were made perfectly well” (NKJV). Matthew 14:34-36. (Cross reference
is Mark 6:56.)
3. When Peter walked through the streets of
Jerusalem, people brought their sick so that his shadow would pass over them so
that they would be healed. It wasn’t so much his shadow that healed people, it
was the Shekinah Glory of God emanating out of him that healed the people,
because he had been with Jesus.
“… so that they brought the sick out into the
streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter
passing by might fall on some of them” (NKJV).
Acts 5:15
4. Prayer Cloths – Acts 19:11-12 says that God
wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: so that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from
them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
5. There is transferable healing power in
anointing oil. However, it says that the prayer
of faith will save the sick, not necessarily that the anointing oil will
save the sick.
“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church,
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord. And the prayer of faith will save
the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will
be forgiven” (NKJV). James 5:14-15
6. There is a transference of spiritual gifts
and anointing for a particular ministry office through the laying on of hands.
1 Timothy 4:14: “Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you
by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership”. And 1 Timothy 5:22: “Do not be hasty to place
your hands on anyone to ordain him …”
Also, Mark 16:18 says, “They shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover.”
7. The Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion) contains
a transferable Presence of Jesus Christ.
If it was symbolic only of Jesus’ suffering and death, then if someone
partakes of it unworthily, then he or she would simply be missing the
point. But in the early church in Acts,
there was a blessing or a curse (and in some cases, sickness or pre-mature
death) associated with taking Communion. And it still applies today.
So therefore, partaking of the Holy Eucharist
is both symbolic of Jesus’ broken Body and shed Blood, but there is also a
literal, tangible transference of some kind that takes place when you take the
Communion. You are partaking of Jesus’ healing, life to your body, strength.
8. Water can be a carrier of God’s healing
power. A healing angel would stir the
waters of the Pool of Bethesda. The
first one to touch the water would be made completely well.
“Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a
pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick
people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an
angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then
whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of
whatever disease he had.” John 5:2-4
9. Some people have been healed when a prayer
shawl (Tallit) was wrapped around them. The fringes represent all the laws and
commandments of God. The prayer shawl speaks of God’s covenant with His people.
All of the promises in the Word of God belong to us, including the promises for
healing, wholeness and finances.
10. Samson’s hair contained his anointing and
strength. When his hair was cut off, his strength left him. When his hair grew
back, he killed more Philistines in one day than in all of the years before
that time. Judges 13-16
11. There is transferable anointing in worship
music. Worship music is a carrier of the Anointing, just as water is a carrier
of electricity. The worship music keeps the Anointing flowing.
Science has proven that there is tangible
healing energy in music (especially worship music). When music is played
(whether melodic or disconcordant music), a transferable energy takes place
which is felt by the recipient. The person may feel good or bad, or feel better
or worse, depending on the type of music played.
Scientists have also discovered that musical
chords or notes produce laser rays of light when played. The light is invisible
to the naked human eye, but in scientific studies they have special machines
that detect the light and show its color. For instance, the key of G (the
solitary note G all by itself) or the chord of G (which is G, B, D) produces
green light.
Other keys produce yellow or red light. Each
key or chord produces different colors of the rainbow. Sound waves, light and
colors penetrate through the body and affect us tangibly.
In medical science, they use light or
radiation techniques to treat illnesses (although the treatment has its
drawbacks). Eye surgeons use laser technology to correct vision. Heart surgeons
have new laser technology to do heart or artery surgery.
12. Pastor Benny Hinn said that when God’s
anointing comes upon him when he ministers healing, that it feels like
electricity is flowing through his body (and sometimes he is slain in the
Spirit because of being overwhelmed by God’s power). After the meeting is over
with, the anointing stays on him for about five hours before lifting. However,
anointing virtue stays in his clothes for up to ten days.
In one small service (less than 200 people)
where Pastor Benny Hinn was ministering (I saw this myself on television), a
lady came to be prayed over who had excruciating back pain. She was literally
crying because the pain was so bad. Benny took off his coat and told her to
wear it, and so she did. Within a few minutes all the pain had left and her
back was healed. He never did lay hands on her or even pray for her. A residue
of anointing coming from his body got into his coat, and healing power was transferred
to that lady.
13. God can use other articles as transferable
anointing, even candy such as M&M’s. Kenneth Hagin Sr. was ministering in a
service one day, and a lady approached him and asked him if he would pray over
and anoint a bag of candy so that she could give it to her sister who was in a
mental institution who was insane. At first, Kenneth Hagin was taken aback, as
he had never prayed over something like candy before.
The lady said that she had tried sending
prayer cloths to her sister, but the nurses would intercept them and throw them
away and her sister would not receive the prayer cloths. So she thought that
she would have her sister’s favorite candy prayed over, and the nurses wouldn’t
know any better. So Kenneth Hagin took the candy and put it in his pocket.
After the service he handed the candy back to the lady, and she gave the candy
to her sister. When her sister ate the
candy, within a period of days her sister’s mind was completely healed and
restored.
14. At a Charles and Frances Hunter meeting,
they felt that the Holy Spirit directed them to have everyone bring their
wallet to the front and lay it on the altar (it was not a fund raising
technique or anything gimmicky). The Hunter’s anointed all the wallets and
prayed for financial prosperity to come and that the people’s wallets would be
made full. In the weeks following the
meeting, there were all kinds of testimonies of people receiving financial
breakthroughs.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
