Spiritual Research And Findings

On The

Anointing Of The Holy Spirit

Part 1 – General Anointing

The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

Raphael Okechukwu Nweze

Introduction

All the narrations and descriptions below confirm that God moves people by anointing. Several ministers have left this ministry in anger and disappointment, because they feel that all these anointing movements are not true or necessary. Many of the ministers feel that it is too early for anointing to move somebody, who is new to the ministry. Some leave or cause trouble out of jealousy, envy, greed or ignorance.

In order to ensure truthfulness and Holy Spirit, everybody coming new, shall be subjected to seven months probationary period of prayers, trainings, deliverances examinations, purifications and sanctifications, before he would be allowed to minister anointing services (prophetic messages, healing, deliverance, spiritual work, etc) to others.

In some cases, people doubt the anointing and its ministration. At times, even the person being moved by anointing does not know what is happening to him. And a major problem is that people attach social stigma to natural occurrences that they cannot explain. That is why some people despise those moved by anointing, avoid them or push them away.

In order to find out the facts and details, the ministry had to hold an open discussion of anointing experience. The discussion started with those moved by anointing narrating what they encounter or experience during anointing. Indeed, the research was quite interesting and worth the efforts.

The Meaning Of Anointing

Anointing of the Holy Spirit means that:

1. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit or Angel of God is using you to work.

2. The spirit is controlling you and is dictating what you are doing.

3. The spirit took over your body, to the extent that you do not know what you are doing. You do not know what is happening around you.

4. The spirit may be outside you or inside your body. For example, Jesus was often filled with the Holy Spirit.

5. The light of God is shining upon you, just as the sun glows more in order to give more light.

6. You may be quiet or active. The movement may be normal or random.

The Doves

The doves are the children of God, who are living pure and holy life.

Anointing Doves

This refers to individuals in the house of God, who are moved by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Major Places Of Anointing In The Body

Anointing can take place on any part of the body, especially:

1. The head, by beam of light or tongues of fire on it.

2. The eyes, for the person to see visions.

3. The ears, for the person to hear voices.

4. The heart, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.

5. The throat, the seat of expression, for divine utterance, through you.

6. The fingers, like on the musicians or craftsmen.

7. The feet, for warriors, travellers, supervisors, etc.

An Example 1

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:1-4

An Example 2

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, 5 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.

6 "And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle — 8 the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base — 10 the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, 11 and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do." Exodus 31:1-11

How To Know When Anointing Is About To Happen

You can know when anointing is about to take place by the following signs:

1. By signs and wonders. Examples are dizziness, goose pimple, beam of light, heat, etc.

2. By vision, dream or trance.

3. By hearing voice.

4. By breeze.

5. By jerking motion.

6. By tears of love, mercy, empowerment or victory.

7. By the blockage of vision.

8. By fire, pains, etc.

9. By summary – details manifest as the work progresses.

10. By suddenness, unexpectedly.

Testimonies Received During The Research:

1. Anointing Gives Sign.

Before the Holy Spirit will start moving you, it will first give me a sign.

If it gives sign three times, then I know I have to do work (perform spiritual work on people).

If it gives sign on the left hand, I know I have to work.

If it gives me sign on the right hand, I know that what I have to do is to bless people.

Sometimes, it gives a sign seven times.

After giving me the sign, a voice would tell me to wait. Once it is time to start, it will give me a sign and tell me to it is the children. At that time, anointing will start moving me towards the children. When I finish working on the children, the spirit would leave me.

A voice would tell me to wait. It points out the person I should prsay for. I wll go to the person and pray.

By the time it shall move for the last time,

it shall only be moving me about.

When it is moving, when it is time, if the singing is dull, the spirit will keep quiet. We shall keep quiet. If it gives a sign twice, the spirit will leave me.

As narrated by Uju Nwabuisi

2. Anointing Causes Goose Pimple.

How I know that the spirit will move me is that it will make me feel goose pimple (akpata oyi) on my body. I do withhold myself. Because I withhold myself, it will cause me to start having headache. When I start doing what I should do, the headache will stop.

Another sign by which the spirit is moving me is that it shall cover my eyes (block my eyes from seeing clearly). And it shall move me to start work on people.

As narrated by Uzoamaka Jideofor

3. Sprinkling Holy Substances Cause Anointing.

The way my own happens is that after sprinkling holy water on me, I feel as if somebody is tackling my feet. Therefore, I try to stand very well, but I cannot. It will cause me to feel dizzy, it will cause me to feel dizzy. Once this happens, my eyes are covered and everywhere will be full of fire. The brightness is so much, and it will not allow me.

Like last week, I decided not to work, according to my own will. I was standing here, and a minister came and poured holy water me. Immediately, anointing started moving me like lightning. The anointing moved me. I have never experienced such before. As it was moving me, my spirit was telling me, I was directed say that palm fronds should be tied round the woman. Therefore, I said that the woman should be tied with palm fronds.

The anointing was moving me, and I was told to use water to wash people and I took water, washing people.

There was a woman, on whom spiritual work was performed. When I saw the woman, the spirit was telling me that the woman is a prophet. So, I went to her, washed her feet, telling her that God will make her spiritual talent radiant (manifest and functional), that God will lead her to the place where she will stay to do her work. This is what I was telling her. All of us, those moved by anointing, were performing work on her. The spirit told me the song that the congregation should sing.

Onye ike, oye ike

Aka gbawara agu onu DC

When the singing was going on, the voice I was hearing was no longer that of the members. I was hearing the voice of multitudes, certainly.

Inside my body, I was feeling heat. My body was very light, as if I had no strength. Inside my body was full of fire. I was asking, “Is this fire, that is burning me?” and I asked for consuming fore to spray on my body. After the spray, inside my body was still full of fire.

As narrated by Prophetess Okafor

4. When Anoint Of The Holy Spirit Comes, Problems Are Easily Solved.

The way anointing moves me is that once consuming fire is poured on my body, anointing will start moving me. It turns me round and round. Once I go and touch somebody, the person’s problem will stop. If I wash the children, the problem will stop. Or, if I pray for the person, his problem will stop. That is if there is sickness. The person’s problem will stop. That is how anointing moves me.

As narrated by Eucharia Orjiakor

5. Anointing Can Happen Anywhere, Even On The Roads.

When anointing will move me, it will pour goose pimple on my body. It did so, on my body, the first day I came here.

Sometimes, it happens to me on the road. I feel that people would say that something is wrong with me. I will control it and have control over it. How it happens to me is that it pours goose pimples on me. Sometimes, it does so on my head. And I shall be crying and shouting. I cannot hide. Sometimes, anointing fall upon me when I am on the road. It will move me on the road and I will control myself. By God’s grace, the anointing will leave me. When anointing will move me, even if I am hiding, it will come to the place and drag me out. And when it happens – falls on me – it will pour goose pimple on me. This happened to me the first day I came here, to give me sign from God that this ministry is where God wants me to be. Have you seen it.

I do try to make the anointing leave me, but it will not leave me. It may affect my head and I cannot control myself, and I will be turning and turning and turning. Even if I am crying with loud voice, it will not leave me, until it has finished its purpose on me. I cannot withstand the power of God.

There was a time I attended a programme. That was the first place i prophesied. The head of the ministry was saying that there was a prophet sent by God and that the person shall prophesy for them today. I did not know it was I. When the time came, anointing pushed me and turned me and turned me. I was shouting. It pushed me out through the door. It forced my mouth open and I said things I did not know when I said them. The message was about the coordinator there. By prophecy, I gave (exposed) details about her. And people were complaining that this little girl does not fear, that she says what is prohibited from being said. That is how I started to prophesy. Therefore, God’s power cannot be withstood, until the anointing completes doing the will of God. Peace in the name of Jesus.

As narrated by Prophetess Esther…

6. Anointing Rolls A Person On The Ground.

On the day that the spirit started to move me, it was Temple that was the cause. It moved me where we went for family deliverance and spiritual work. Anointing lifted me up and threw me down on the ground, and was rolling me on the floor, when others were praying. I was surprised, and stayed quiet moping. Already, it was moving me when I was attending Catholic Church or monastery. It was moving me, but not as much as it is doing since I entered this ministry. It was that day we went to pray for people that it moved me and I was surprised. That one passed.

On the day I was being given messages, anointing came again and was knocking my head on the ground. It was great surprise. I said this is quiet strange.

If I come to the ministry without eating food, (on fasting), and I join to pray for people, anointing will start moving me. When it will anoint me, it starts with goose pimple. I will not be able to control myself. It moves me down to the ground. If I hold somebody, so that I do not fall to the ground, it will move me to the ground and will be knocking my head on the ground. H-e-e-y!

It was on the day director was speaking by anointing that he told me the type of spirit that moves me by anointing, the cherubim and seraphim, and knocks my head on the ground. It was on that day that I knew what was happening to me. the Cherubim and Seraphim are always praising god, bowing down to the ground for Him.

He said it was the Cherubim and Seraphim that knock my head on the ground. Since, I did not know it is the Cherubim and the Seraphim. Peace in Jesus name.

As narrated by Amaka Ifeacho

7. Anointing Is True, And Is Confirmed By God.

If I ask you which spirit that uses me, what would you answer? The God Almighty.

The spirit that moves me most is God the Father. He would tell me, once I put on my garment, (that) I enter the temple and bow down to the ground for Him. At times, He tells me how many times I should bow down to Him.

When singing is going on, to start worship, I am usually free. I would join in singing or whatever that is being done. At a time, a voice would say to me, “Silence.”

When I hear the word silence, I stay quiet. Once I stay calm, God says, “My child, I am coming.” When He says that He is coming, I am ready. The next thing, if I am standing and singing, I will be told to sit down. The moment He arrives, He will use anointing to force me to sit down. And He would say to me, “Confirmation Number 1.” That is that He is confirming that it is Himself , God, that has arrived.

The moment He comes in, my body will change. And once He enters my body, He tells me that He has entered my body. When He says that, my body will change. My two feet will be brought together and my two hands kept together. You might have noticed all these things. God would then say, “Confirmation Number 2”.

What happens next is that my neck will be turned, twice. And the voice would say, “Confirmation Number 3”. Next my mouth will then be shut up. Then I can no longer sing, and if I try to force myself to sing, do you know anointing moves somebody on the mouth? Yes. (Anointing will move me on the mouth.) If I try to force myself to speak, I cannot speak. My libs are pulled together, seized.

God, what He needs is silence. No noise. If you watch me, whenever He enters my body, I do stay like somebody nailed to the cross. Not that it is pleasant to me. Rather, it is obedience. Then I cannot stand up. I can no longer have the will power of my own. I cannot do anything or speak to somebody. I cannot. If you wash, when you have stayed, and feel pressed to go and urinate, you go and do so. Is it true or false? It is true. Have you ever seen me go out to urinate? No.

When God comes in, all my body are seized. I do not feel the need to go and urinate. That is I am no longer the owner of my body.

Only what He tells me to do then that I shall be doing. When I stand up, if I am told to stand up, I stand up. I keep on sitting down, if I stand up when I am told not to stand up, anointing will movie me. Likewise, when I sit down, when I am required to stand up, anointing will stretch my legs and keep me standing up.

If you do watch, when sacrifice is going on, when the director is blessing the consuming fire, sometimes, I am told to stand up. When I stand then, the spirit will move me. I know that the spirit is moving me. But, if you ask me where I am moving randomly about, I do not know. Sometimes, by the time anointing has finished moving me, after random movements, when I open my eyes, I find out that I am standing in front of the altar.

Perhaps, when the congregation is told to bow down to the ground for God, I was told not to do so. One day, I tried to join in what others were doing, I was told to stay quiet. So, I strove to force myself to join others, I wanted to kneel down during bowing down, anointing took over my legs, and I could not kneel down like a human being. I was asking why, and God said He is the Chairman.

At times, you see me stay, like today canopies are provided, so that the shed will protect people. But anointing will come and move me out and keep me standing under the sun. Is it true or false?

That is for you to know that anointing is not what somebody does by his own will power. When it moves me out, like today when spiritual work is going on, it will keep me standing. So I do stand. And when I do stand then, I do not feel the pain or discomfort on my legs. I will not know that it is my body… But, if somebody asks me to stand as a flesh (person), I cannot do so, not even up to 30 minutes.

All these things are as God wants it. Once He enters my body, it is no longer myself that is the owner of my body. Whatever that I am directed to do is what I do. And whatever I am told not to do, I do not do so. This is what I know. And He tells me each time worship is over that I should enter the temple and bow down to the ground for Him.

These are the experiences I have had on anointing, which moves people.

Peace in the name of Jesus.

As narrated by Temple Oluchukwu Nweze

8. Holiness And Silence Are Very Important.

It it’s the promise of God for me that is coming to fulfillment. His word is now manifest in my life and it shall not go back. God confirmed my entry into this ministry. When I entered this ministry, God said He has started to train me, from class 1. When I went to the director and asked him if the training here starts from nursery stage, he gave me his replies. From class 1. And God started the training from class 1.

When I came into this ministry, the first thing I was given is sword.

Last week, three days ago, I heard a voice, which called me. I said here I am. He said Esther, every time anointing is moving me that I should be shouting, “Holy,” for Him. He said he will use this holiness to perform so many works in my life.

Jesus said that every tree not planted by the Father shall be uprooted. He said I shall be shouting “Holy,” and that I shall be holy to Him, by my foot step, by my conduct… because He, Jehovah, is holy.

And He showed me a child and said I should be like this child, that that was how He and the ancient people walked and succeeded. I should be like a child in following him. He said I should be like a child.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. He said that is how I should be living, like a child.

God called me Esther, and I answered Him. He said my words should be very few.

He said He has given me direction. If I give somebody direction, and the person wants to argue, I should avoid the person. He said my words should be very few. That I should be holy, because God is holy. … So, I am thanking God, who has come to my life. Thanks be to God.

As narrated by Prophetess Esther…

9. Anointing Teaches How To Bow Down To God.

Usually, we are told to bow down to the ground for God. We are told to do so thrice or seven times. One day, I did so. And the spirit directed me to repeat. He said I should be saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the God Almighty.” And that I should say it seven times. So I did so, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy is the God Almighty”.

The other day, we went for family deliverance… I wanted to sit down. But, I was told to stand up. I stood up.

Too wanted to plant the sword on the ground, I was asked to stop him, because the Holy Spirit has not indicated where the sword should be planted. Later, the Holy Spirit came in and gave a sign, gave a me a sign. Anointing was moving me. Next, I was shown where the sword should be planted. So, I told Toochukwu about it….

In respect of this message and so many other messages, I was usually afraid when delivering the message. I do ask myself whether the spirit speaking was from God. When I deliver the messages, I am usually afraid, feeling that I was giving the messages in flesh. But, later God do confirm all the messages. The oracle of God, Temple, confirmed the spirit, and the director also confirmed that it is the Holy Spirit that is using me.

10. There Are Different Stages In Anointing.

When I started newly, I do shout. I do shout. I started with shouting. I do shout… Later, the phase of shouting passed, because all things are level by level, from one stage to another.

Second stage is when anointing moves me out to the front of the altar, when the director is presenting offering to God. People do say then that it was an evil spirit that was troubling me. Later, God confirmed it. That was the day God came down as the Lord Almighty in power and glory.

When I started to pray for people, it was usually by anointing. But now, I am not moved by anointing. I can move about freely and do work (minister to people).

As narrated by Nikru Oramalu

11. There Are So Many Different Gifts Of Anointing.

I want to explain how the spirit moves me by anointing, how the spirit uses me to do work (minister to people).

Anointing moves me in so many different ways. It may be a very strong prayer that I want to do. When the spirit comes, it starts with speaking in tongues. I did not know that this tongue has vibration. It was when I started to speak in tongues, that I knew that this tongue has vibration. My anointing starts in the tongue. And I will start speaking a language I have never spoken before, a language of which I do not know the source. I do read about speaking in tongues in the bible, that some were gifted with speaking in tongues. So, I found out that I have the gift of speaking in tongues.

Sometimes, when the spirit moves me, it all depends on which spirit that will use me to work. All my body will be vibrating. All my body will be shaking. By then, I have had an inspiration that something came into my body. By that vibration that shakes my body, whatever that I am directed to do, I do so.

They may ask me to start swinging my hands. One day, recently, a girl was brought to the ministry, lying down inside the room. When the girl was brought for prayer, I was told to put her legs in-between my legs, hold her fast and pray. When I closed my eyes, my spiritual eye was opened. I looked in spirit, it was Angel … Gabriel that came down. He told me to swing my hands and that I should do so very fast. As I swung my hands, I was vibrating. I was vibrating. If you do not have the holy spirit in you, you would say what is this person doing, or is she having a mental problem?

Because I was in the world, I am an ordinary human being. Before the Angels can come in, something must change, before they start work. Therefore, before they can work, I have to change into the mode (level of vibration) in which they can use me to work.

Number 2 is this: if a spirit wants to speak to my ear, my ear will be on fire. The intensity of the fire will very high. And I will be shouting “my ear, my ear, my ear”. A second later, I hear a voice, sounding in my ear, as if air is being blown into my ear. I will be hearing the voice. As the breeze flow into my ear, the intensity of the fire will be reducing, but I will be hearing what the spirit is saying.

Number 3 is the eyes. When visions are shown to me, there is a light that shines. I have never seen such a light in the world. Once the light beams on me like the searchlight, I see something. That vision will be like the film show or video display. It is usually as if that is acted before me and I see it. For example, if I am told that somebody is a native doctor, a pot will be placed in front of him. Once the pot ism placed before him, I know what the person is.

So the spirits that use me are of different kinds. I will not say that it is only this or that spirit that uses me. They use me in different dimensions, of which I may not be able to explain, because the Holy Spirit is a mystery.

Before the Holy Spirit uses you, you have to know about the Holy Spirit. Because if you do not value the Holy Spirit, it will not use you. And before the Holy Spirit will use you, you must have attained a certain stage in spirit.

Sometimes, in dream, messages are given to me. a revelation may be shown to me. Once I wake up, in the morning, that thing will start happening immediately.

Sometimes, like this person standing by my side, when the Holy Spirit comes in and start to vibrate, I will be told what this person is saying inside his heart. But I prayed God to remove that gift, because there was a time it brought me into trouble. People called me witch. I was telling somebody what he was thinking, rebuking him for having such an evil thought. And the spirit that uses me does not tolerate sin. If you are doing something and, I will just come and say it without mincing words, outspokenly.

So, when I rebuked the person, for having such a bad thought, he started to harass me. This incident took place in the northern Nigeria. He cautioned me, why should I say such a thing? Later, I pleaded with him. Therefore, I prayed God to remove the spirit, that I do not want such a spirit, because I do not know if the spirit is a good one or not.

(Peace in Jesus name. before you continue, you have to pray God to return that gift. It is called telepathy. You can see people and hear their thoughts. It is good. It is natural. Jesus demonstrated this several places in the bible, which reads:

And Jesus knowing their thoughts answered them….)

Another way that the spirit uses me – but, I want to ask our director a question. Is it possible for a person to have so many different types of gifts? Yes, it is possible and real. For example, the bible says that everything about God is in Jesus – the sufficiency of God in Jesus. Again, psalm 87:7 says that there are so many spiritual gifts in you.

7 Both the singers and the players on instruments say,

"All my springs are in you."

Psalms 87:7

The gifts in me are too many. If you need me here, I am present. And if you need me there, I am then present. (I can render so many different types of services.) If something is very hard to achieve, once I come into it, it becomes possible. If a road is inaccessible, once I pass through it, people will start passing through it. If a town is not accessible, once I enter it, other people will also enter it. And the way I become successful there, is also how other people will become successful. If a place is prohibited, and I enter therein and come out, and I tell people, they will be very surprised and ask me did you go into that place? And I will tell them yes, I entered the place.

When I started working, I observed many things happening in my life. I asked God I thought it was only prophecy and vision that you gave me? But, my own gifts are many, including healing the sick people.

Usually, the same thing that happens in physically is what happens spiritually. When I pray for the sick, they become healed. If somebody’s gift is not manifest and functional, when I pray for the person, the gift will start to manifest and function. The level of manifestation and functionality will be rising more and more and more. So, as far As the gifts of God are concerned, I have so many for them. Some were lost. I won’t say that the gifts God gave me are 20 or 10. Anything that is not possible, God makes it possible through me.

There was a ministry I went to. They wanted to sing, but could not. I entered there and started singing, and great things started happening. They were begging me to be coming to their ministry. So many things, including prayer. My gifts are in excess (so many).

It was when I came to this ministry that the director said that I am Samson. He has told me that not once, not twice. Several times. And I said no wonder! Is that why I do great things. My fellows carry one sword. But, I do carry tow swords, one in each hand. As I strike the two, great things will be happening. For example, if I am in good terms with somebody, and he is having problem in spirit, it will be revealed to them. Before you know it, I am already on the way to the place. After fighting battle there, I come back to myself (my spirit returns to my body).

Some pastors were curtailing some of the gifts. They say I was possessed by evil spirits…possessed by the marine spirits. You are this. You are that. You fly in dream. So I was praying to prevent such things when they were about to happen.

I may stay with you, physically present. But, spiritually, I have already gone very far. Very far. It may be an accident that is about to happen., once I arrive there, the accident is nullified, cancelled. And immediately, I come back to my body.

These things happen to me, and my parents did not grow up in Christian perfection. They grew up in the Catholic Church. The only thing they encouraged me to do was to go to convent to become a reverend sister. And whatever that comes out of my mouth, God honours it, despite the fact that I am a sinner.

So I prayed and declared a word through the sun. I said God, I do not want to be a reverend sister. I want to worship you. That was when I was about to take WAEC examination. I wanted to marry. It was a reverend father that paid for my WAEC examination. I prayed and declared the word. On the day of the WAEC examination, expo (answers) were brought and shown to the students. But if you see my result, it was very very pour. Very very pour. Some would bring it out and be crying., because they have seen something in me. I did not know what I am.

Thank God for this Sabbath. My parents have known their gifts and the type of child they gave birth to. Everybody has various gifts. I encourage you. If it is only one gift that you have, use it to serve God. If it is only two gifts that you have, use them to serve God.

Also, I encourage you people that come here to study spiritual science. For example, for you people that are new, if you start spiritual science, it is not the explanations pastors and reverend fathers give you on the bible verses that you shall get here. You shall get better, wider and deeper explanations. God will enlarge your skull. God will broaden and deepen your knowledge and understanding. You begin to see and understand the mysteries in the bible; you begin to explain them. You discover that in the past, you went the wrong way. Since I discovered that I went the wrong way, by turning to the way of truth (Sabbath), I have being recovering many of my talents lost in the past.

If the person is having problem on the waist, I will be told to go and hold the person on the waist and pray for him. I imagine how a girl would go to hold a man on the waist. Because I refused to do so, my own waist will become very heavy and painful, until I do as I was directed to do.

Those moved by anointing should also listen to the spirit directing them, so that they do not leave the body part where there is problem to hold the part that has no problem.

There was a day I placed hand over a person’s head and prayed. Fire was rising from his head to my hand. Physically, there was no fire or heat. i was directed to pray for him because he was having a very severe headache every day for 24 hours. Every time headache. The person later came to testify that he was having severe headache always.

My own way of seeing vision is that I see visions whether my eyes are open or closed. I have no option to close or open eyes.

One day, I came to the ministry, on okada, motorcycle. The ministry was filled with dazzling light of great intensity. The reflections were uncountable, but people do not know.

As narrated by Ifeoma Ejelue

12. From The Feet Upwards

How the anointing moves me is this. I have been a member of Catholic Church and Assemblies of God. It usually starts from the feet and rises up to my head. Before, I did not know that it was anointing. It was when I came here that anointing of the spirit was experienced and I learnt what is happening to me.

The anointing started when I was at Assemblies of God. It was the day I came here that I learnt certain things. It starts from the feet (legs.) Whenever it starts, I loose control of my self. I leave the body in spirit. As of now, I have not started seeing anything as vision, to say, the truth.

As narrated by Ifeoma Benjamin

13. The Spirit May Penalize Someone

There is something I want to say, because it has been disturbing me. Concerning those moved by anointing. The Director tells us the same thing every day. When the spirit is moving somebody, do not try to quench or suppress the spirit. That experience has happened to me. But it was not here.

There was a place I used to attend prayer (ministry). I was among the prayer warriors. When the ministry started, we were three persons that started it, before the members became so many. Whatever that is being done, I was called (involved). Because of my involvement, people became jealous, complaining that it was only myself that is usually called upon to perform various activities. In terms of anointing, I was the only person being moved by anointing. It was becoming a case.

Therefore, the man of God there called me and all the mothers, those to be used as the heads. One woman was called. She was also a member of the prayer warriors. The woman started rebuking me, complaining that in everything I shoulder the responsibility. In prophecy, I was leading. I did not tell her anything. But what she said made me angry. After dismissal, I went home.

On the next day, the woman went to the man of God and said, I was chasing her about in a dream. She asked the man of God for the direction to our house. He gave her the direction and she came to our house. My mother directed her to my workshop. She came and said to me that I should forgive her of whatever offence she committed against me. I answered her that I did not do anything to her. She said my spirit was chasing her about in spirit. She said my spirit was chasing her about in spirit. I told her that I did not do anything to her and that she herself should know what she did.

My main point is that when anointing moves somebody, do not push the person down or do not suppress the spirit. Because those moved by anointing have various signs. One day on the mountain, after prayers, I was standing and the spirit moved me. Then, something was shown (revealed) to me. It was about a girl, who was possessed. It was a very big man that was troubling her. In the revelation given to me, I saw the hand holding her and the hand was cut off (broken). The prayer on the mountain was because of the girl.

When messages were called for, I said what was shown to me. And the girl said it was true. The same message of hand was been given to her. So, the hand has been troubling her for a long time. And wherever she goes to, she received the same message. I told her that on that day, the hand has been broken and cannot afflict her again.

In other words, anointing may move somebody for the person to receive a revelation. It may be to have a vision concerning somebody or he may be receiving messages. Therefore, do not push down somebody who is being moved by anointing, because it is not good. You may push the person down, and be thinking that you pushed an ordinary person moved by anointing, without knowing that you have pushed down (offended) the spirit using the person, and the spirit will start troubling you.

That is exactly what is happening to some of us; and when that disturbs us, we may not know what is happening to us. We may complain of having attacks, or other bad experiences, it is we that bring attacks to ourselves.

14. Anointing Refines A Person

According to my own understanding, I want to say how the anointing moves somebody. When you are in spirit, praying, you will be carried away. You have to close your eyes and go inside yourself. Some people when they pray, they keep their eyes open, looking about. After a short time, they say the spirit is moving them. You have to go into yourself, focus your spirit. Then, you stay in spirit, praying.

You will continue to pray. Then, suddenly, the anointing will move you. The anointing may be for you to do work that day, or it may be to refine the person being moved by anointing. If the person had done something wrong, the anointing may be just to refine him to bring him back to spiritual standard (to regain himself). This is what I understand by anointing moving a person.

As narrated by Nonso Ifeacho

15. Do Not Backslide

According to what the holy bible said, they are different types of talent. God’s spiritual gifts are numerous. It includes prophecy, dream, and explanation of diverse things. It all depends on the type of gift God gave you. And that gift is what you manifest naturally. You are born with it, inherently. Depending on what God wants you to do.

According to my own, I am such a person that if you did not do the right thing, I will tell you that you did not do it well. By my own gift, even if you are my mother or my father, I will not fear you. This was the cause of trouble between me and my mother or between me my father, then.

My father may do something, and I would tell him that he did not do the right thing. My mother was receiving correction from me, to the extent she will said, “Am I going to fear my own daughter?”

The problem I have, that made it seen as if I backslided in giving correction, was that whoever I speak to (corrects) does not believe (accept correction). I was surprised when I came here one day, the Director said my duty is counseling others. So, so I started from my childhood to give advice.

So, God’s gifts are many. It is not only the prophets. Everybody here has a spiritual gift. It may be rendering services. It may be having mercy. All of them are spiritual talents. You may find a person in a bad condition; you have mercy and do your best to help the person.

God’s gift is not only pastor, teacher or evangelist. Once you discover your call, you begin to practise it. … I backslided because people were belittling me. But I shall continue to do so whether they welcome it or not. I shall be doing my work.

Other Things You Should Know

About The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit

Some are given the talents for prophecy. Some are given the talents for prayer. It all depends on the talents God gave to somebody. What is given to one person is different from what is given to another person.

When the spirit moves me, people hold me back or call my name. Some would say that I should go and sit down. But, I do not do so by my own power. It is by the gracious gift of God.

Questions And Answers

1. I took my sick child to a prophet of God. I was small then. He told me to pray hard because there is a knock on the door for me. My question is, how can I know which prophecy is true or not? I understand a knock on the door to mean a man coming for marriage. How can a person who is given prophetic message avoid being confused, and be sure that the message is true?

Answer: The spirit from God delivers message. The evil spirits also deliver messages. This is how you will know whether a prophet is true or not. After giving you the message, he will give you a sign, by which you will be sure t that the message is true. Once the sign is fulfilled, you know that the message is true. But if the sign does not come to fulfillment, disregard the message.

Many messages do come (are received). Marine spirits also give messages. A marine spirit can take possession of somebody and deliver messages. As it delivers the messages, the messages touch on the issues at stake (proves true). You know a true message by sign. If the sign does not fulfill, discard the message.

What the prophet meant was that death is coming and that you should pray hard against it. Something knocking on the door may be a man coming for marriage. It could be death or trouble that is very close, at hand. Where necessary, you should ask the prophets questions.

2. What if you are a prophet, and I came to you, an you prophesied that I shall die. Eventually, I did not die. Is the prophet a true man of God?

Answer: A prophet may prophesy death. But, God may also prevent he death, out of mercy. The fact that God prevented the death is a sign.

3. The mechanics no longer allow people to know the mad persons (Mechanics are often very dirty and unkempt like the lunatics). I went to a man of God and he said that the salary they pay me was too small. He did not know that I was self-employed. The prophetic message proved to be the opposite of reality. As a child of a God, how can you know when you have received this kind of wrong prophecy?

Also, there is something our director said. I asked him a question three times, but he kept silent. He did not answer. It is not good to rush into prophecy, especially because people expect it. It is not good to give messages by the flesh (without spiritual revelation from God). In case like these, what shall a person do?

Answer: About giving false messages, it is somewhere in the bible, that any person who delivers message that is not from God, that such a person shall drink faeces in water solution (faeces dissolved in water). It is also specified that God’s punishment shall start with the prophets.

I have said it before, that people rush to a prophet that is famous. People go to consult him, without confirming that the prophet is using the Holy Spirit. Some prophets even have gate men or give express service (Once you pay money, you are ushered in to see the prophet).

4. Advice: When a person is given a good prophecy of better life and better future, it is his duty to put it into work (work towards it, to achieve it). The message is true. If the person does not strive for the actualization, the prophecy will not come to fulfillment… When a message is being given to you, you should examine it. If it is not what is happening in your life, open your mouth and tell the prophet that the message is not true.

God says that He will help those who help themselves, and that He works in the farm of the person who works in His own (God’s) farm. Some people do not work towards their prophecies, and some do not want to contribute to God’s work. They stay idle for husband to come. They stay idle for all the things they pray for to come for manifestation. In such a situation, God will not do anything for you. If you do not make the right efforts, your way will not open.

Explanations:

Here in this ministry, you are allowed to speak from time to time, so that you can speak in the public, so that you can challenge somebody who is saying what is false. That is number one.

Number two: All the ministers in this ministry, you have passed the stage of being afraid. You have risen above that. From today, keep aside any fears you have, because it is the Holy Spirit that is using you people to work.

That is why you were asked to narrate what happens to you when anointing is moving you, so that people would know that the spirit is actually moving you people. If the spirit moving you people were false, the congregation would have known that from the narrations you gave. All that you have said show that it is the Holy Spirit that is using you people to work.

Another point is this, number three: Every minister used by anointing should stay close to God, from time to time. You should not give chance for the evil spirits to come in. It is when you are not close to God that the evil spirits can come in. You also stay close to God by participating in God’s activities, by frequenting the holy places, by being regular and punctual, and by planning the things you want to do and praying over the plans .

5. If the message is wrong, who is making the mistake? The spirit or the person moved by anointing?

Answer: It is the duty of the ministers to refine themselves with prayer. That is why often deliverance, purification and sanctification are being performed on them here in this ministry, to ensure that Devil (evil spirits) have no chance to intrude. If the person being used by anointing is not watchful, message may be wrong. He may be given a correct message, but he is delivering a wrong message. If the spirit is from God, there shall be no mistake in the message.

6. Why is it that some people moved by anointing can control themselves, while others cannot?

Answers: One, if the person is just starting, the anointing may be violent. By then, the person has not developed self-control.

Two, violent manifestation happens when the spirit is coming into the person for the first times. By the time the spirit has settled down, violent manifestation will stop.

Three, if the spirit in the person is too much, when more ministers come, some of the spirit is taken from him and put in other ministers, and the person works gently.

Four, everybody moved by anointing in this ministry should pray so that God would put the spirit of control in him. Here is not the first time God is moving people to minister to His children. Anointing can move somebody from his seat, use him to do all works, and then leave the person without the person jamming people, chairs or walls. Those moved by anointing have a work to do, to refine themselves so that they can attain higher spiritual levels.

7. Why is that many of those moved by anointing do not keep the word of God, in terms of dressing, noise-making, conversation, jealousy, greed, envy, etc?

Answers: One, the spirit that moves them come from heaven, which is a kingdom of perfection. But, those moved by anointing are from the world, the place of all kinds of evil manipulations.

Two, it is the duty of the minsters to strive hard to refine themselves.

Three, what kills the minsters is pride and pomposity. Once a minister sees visions, he feels that he is the greatest. Once minister can perform deliverances, he feels that he is the highest. Once a minister is gifted with spirit of healing, he feels that there are no other spiritual gifts necessary. Some would even say that nobody is fit to pray for them again. Others would refuse to learn from any other person.

Here in this ministry, what God wants is truth, righteousness and holiness. When we started newly, we were giving so many messages because that is what people want. Time for that has gone. Now is the time to tell you the truth.

It is duty of the ministers to work according to the message they give. The spirit moves you to say that everybody should kneel down. But then, you refuse to kneel down when it is time to do so. That is not good. It creates doubt and confusion. People would fell that something is wrong somewhere or that somebody is tricking them with messages. Refusing to comply with message is a sign of disobedience, stubbornness and hardness of heart.

8. Is multiple possessions possible? Somebody moved by anointing says that it the Holy Spirit that is speaking. Soon, he says it is Gabriel, only to say later that it is Raphael. Is it all true?

Answer: Yes, it is true possible and true. For example, when I work, I say pour down the water of life. That invites God, who comes immediately. Next, I say pour down the blood of Jesus, for the son to come in. Third, I say pour down the blood of Jesus again, for Michael to manifest. So, multiple anointing is possible. But, if you say it is Holy Spirit, it is Gabriel, it is Raphael, after the anointing, you have to explain how they are three, just as I have explained.

9. Does it mean that once a person has a spiritual talent, like vision, he is already a saint?

Answer: No. it does not mean so. Some were given the spiritual talents, not because they are qualified or developed in spirit, but for the sake of humanity, to help mankind solve the everyday problems and challenges. Such a gifted person may be a prophet, a healer or miracle worker. The fact that a minister is famous in his own area of spiritual gift does not mean that he is already perfect. The gift was given to him for the good of all. But, many deceive themselves by turning such gifts into a thing of pride and arrogance.

For person to rise above jealousy, greed or envy, he has to do a lot of spiritual practice in observing quiet times, devotion, meditation, etc. Many of the ministers do not do spiritual practice. Again, many of them do not have a living saint into guide them in the path of truth, righteousness and holiness. You should know that jealousy, greed, envy, etc, make a person to backslide in spirit.

Very importantly, those moved by anointing should update their knowledge on the directives given by the Holy Spirit, from time to time, so that they can join others in doing what God said. This is very important. It is wrong for any person to refuse to do what God said, simply because he is not in good terms with another person.

10. How can a person know when the spirit speaking to him is true or false?

A very important step is, when you doubt a message, ask the spirit questions. Such questions are:

a. The spirit speaking, are you speaking in the name of the creator of heaven and earth? Once you say this, the spirit that is not from God will close its mouth. Or, God will disgrace the spirit. If it appeared white before, it will turn into a black and evil spirit.

b. The spirit that is speaking, do you believe in the blood of Jesus. If the spirit is from heaven, it will show you that it is from God. For example, if you ask Angel Gabriel this question, he would say that it is the blood that brought him here (to you). Again, the spirits that come to work at the ministry do ask for the blood of Jesus to be sprayed on them. This is enough confirmatory evidence.

c. When the spirit is giving you messages, leave the spirit and speak to God. You can say, “Oh God, the Creator of heaven and earth, let us know who this spirit that is in our midst is.” Once you say that, God will send down the Holy Spirit to strike the spirit. If the spirit is from God, the manifestations shall confirm it. But, if the spirit is not from God, God will disgrace or disable the spirit. Or, send down Angels to cast the evil spirit away.

d. Sometimes, when you ask a question, you receive an answer and keep it as confirmation number one. You continue to ask more questions, and set the answer as confirmation number two. Then, continue to pray and ask for more questions, to get confirmation number three. So that when you speak, you do so with power and authority.

e. Everybody who is a minister in this ministry, when you stand to speak, do so with power and authority... Once you are on the stage, you are the head. When you leave the stage, you are our member.
