Special

Anointings

We remind you constantly that the Bible

declares, "Faith cometh by hearing and hear
ing by the Word of God." Smith Wigglesworth
said, "There is something about believing God
that will cause Him to pass over a million
people just to get to you."
A pastor can't 'specialize'. He has to more
or less 'generalize' because there are many
areas of life and Christian living he has to
touch upon.
I pastored nearly 12 years and, of course,
I preached on various subjectsnot just one.
I was just a little bit stronger in saying more
about faith arid prayer and healing, I think,
than the average pastor.
I never thought of it myself. ( I don't know
whyit just didn't dawn on me.) But in one of
our seminars my wife said to me, "You know,
in our 12 years of pastoral work we never did
have one funeral for one of our church members.
We never buried a church member."
Somebody asked, "Did you have all young
people in your church?"
No, no we didn't.
All of that comes about as a result of teaching
and preaching the Word of God Faith. No matter
where I start out preaching I'll always wind up
preaching on Faith. That's my message. Some
body else has another message. But isn't it
good that God has put difference and a variety
of ministries in the church. Isn't that good!
Praise the Lord! We need all of them. Every
single one of them and if we'll just go and listen
we can all be enriched spiritually. Now let's
look into the Word along some lines of heal
ing and ministering to the sick.
Mark 5:25-34 tells about the woman with the
issue of blood who had suffered many things of
many physicians and was nothing bettered but
rather grew worse. When she heard of Jesus,
she came in the press behind and touched His
garment. For she said, "If I may but touch

His clothes, I shall be whole." The Word of

God tells us that immediately Jesus knew that
'virtue' (or as the margin of the King James
translation says 'power') had gone out of Him.
He looked around about to see this woman who
had done the thing. The woman in fear and
trembling came and fell down before Him and
told Him all the truth. He said, "Daughter, thy
faith has made thee whole. Go in peace and be
whole of thy plague."
Acts 10:38 tells us what this 'power' was
that went out of Him and healed that woman.
It says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went
about doing good, and healing...."
Acts 19:11-12 tells us that God also worked
by the hands of Paul, very similarly. "And
God wrought special miracles by the hands of
Paul: So that from his body were brought unto
the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the dis
eases departed from them, and the evil spirits
went out of them."
Now I want you to see something in the
ministry of Jesus. We can learn some principals
about the action of God's healing power. However,
when you talk about Jesus ministering and heal
ings under His ministry, people will think that
it is different than what can happen today. Many
will say, "Yes, but He was the Son of God." Sort
of inferring that nobody else could do thator
that it couldn't happen that way.
But Jesus was just as much the Son of God
when He was 25 years old as He was when He was
30 years old. At 26, 27, 28, 29 years of age, He
was just as much the Son of God as He was at
30. And yet, up until the time He was anointed by
the Spirit, He had not healed and did not heal one
single person, nor work one miracle!
The thought I am trying to get over to you is
that He did not heal the sick or work miracles by
any power that was inherant in Him as being the
Son of God, but He did it by the anointing of the

Holy Ghost and 'healing power' with which God

anointed them.
If we can follow Him and His ministry we can
learn something about the laws that govern the
operation of God's 'healing power'. Then, when
we abide by those laws, we can get the same
results.
In Luke the 3rd chapter, we read how Jesus
was baptized of John in Jordon's River and then
the Holy Spirit descended uponJlirn in the bodily
shape and form as a dove.
Luke 4:14
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into
Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through
all the region round about.

You see it was after He was baptized of

John and the Spirit came upon Him that He
returned in the power of the Spirit after His
temptation in the wilderness. (You don't read
that before He was baptized and before the
Spirit anointed Him, He ever went in the power
of the Spirit anywhere.)
Luke 4:15
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified
of all.

Now I wonder what He taught in their

synagogues. What did He teach? We'll come
back to this thought later.
Luke 4:16-24
16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom w a s , he went into
the synagogue on the sabboth day, and stood up
for to read.
17. And there was delivered unto him the book
of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the
book, he found the place where it was written.
18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives, and r e
covering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised,
19. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20. And he closed the book, and he gave it again
to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all
them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your e a r s .
22. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the
gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23. And he said unto them, Ye will surely say
unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself:
whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum,
do also here in thy country.
24. And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet
is accepted in his own country.

(Now you see, He calls Himself a prophet.

He was, and is, the Son of God and died as the
Lamb of God and shed His blood, but He wasn't
ministering as the Son of God. He was minister
ing as a prophet anointed by the Spirit.)
Luke 4:25-31
25. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in
Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months, when great
famine was throughout all the land;
26. But unto none of them was Elias sent, save
unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that
was a widow.
27. And many lepers w e r e in Israel in the time
of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard
these things, were filled with wrath,
29. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and
led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city
was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30. But he passing through the midst of them went
his way,
31. And came to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and
taught them on the sabbath davs.

A good many years ago, in 1950, I was con

ducting a meeting in Rockwall, Texas; a tent
meeting. On the night of September 2, 1950, we
all came around the altar to pray. It had been
raining all day long, just a slow gentle rain.
Rockwall's in the blacklands. And a lot of our
congregation lived in the country and when it
rained didn't get out at night. In fact, there were
only 40 people present. They were all Christians.
We were holding a revival and I was preaching
evangelistic type messages, but that night I
just gave a Bible lesson because they were all
Christians.
Then we gathered around the altar to pray. I
knelt by the pulpit on the platform. We had a rug
on the floor around the altar, but the tent sat
on the side of the hill and it had rained so much
that the water overflowed the trench they had
around the tent and had run down through the
tent. I knew it was dry on the platform so I
stayed up there. I took a chair and turned it
around by the pulpit, then got by the chair and we
all prayed together in united prayer.
I began to pray with other tongues, or in
the spirit. While I was praying in the spirit,
I heard a voice speak. I really didn't know that
it was speaking to me at first. The voice said
in the English language, "Come up hither",
"Come up hither", "Come up hither"; three
times. The fourth time it said, "Come up hither,
come up to the throne of God."
I opened my eyes and looked up and God
permitted me to see into the spirit realm.

Now you know that Peter, preaching on the day

of Pentecost, said that this is a fulfillment of the
outpouring of the Holy Ghost in the last days.
He said Joel prophesied that in the last days,"I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your
sons and daughters shall prophesy and your
young men shall see visions and your old men
shall dream dreams." ( I ' m not an old man yet
but I was much younger in those days.) The
Amplified translation says, "Your young men
shall have divinely granted appearances." God
permitted me to have a divinely granted appear
ance. Jesus appeared to me.
When I opened my physical eyes, God per
mitted me to see into the spirit realm. There is
a spirit realm. There is a spirit world. And
that spirit world is just as real as this world.
In fact, it is more real than this world. And,
because humans are all spirit beings, when they
die they go into that spirit world. The body
dies but man never dies. Did you know that?
The real man never dies. Paul said, "I'm
going to depart and be with Christ which is
far better." Praise Godand that's where the
Christian goes when he leaves here!
God permitted me to see into the spirit
realm. I had my physical eyes wide open, but
I didn't see the tent. I didn't see the tent pole.
I didn't see the chair. I didn't see a person. I
didn't see the pulpit. The tent just disappeared
and up where the top of the tent should have
been, Jesus was standing. I seemed to go up and
to stand right with Him. When I got up there He
said, "Let's go up to the throne of God."
We went on up to the throne of God. I'm
personally convinced that in spirit I went up
there. My spirit went up there.
(I said later on to a minister as I was flying
with him from Kansas City to Milwaukee on my
first airplane flight in 1953, "You know, I have
the same sensations now that I had that night
sensations of flying through the air and of seeing
clouds as we went by them and other clouds as
we went right through them.")
We came up to the throne of God. ( I ' m not
going to describe all of it here because it would
take too long and I want to get to the main
point.)
Jesus began His conversation with me by
saying, " I called you before you were born. I
separated you from your mother's womb. Satan
tried to destroy your life before you were
born, and has tried to destroy it many times
since. But my angels have watched over you and
have cared for you until this present hour."
Then He talked to me about the first phase
of my ministry. He talked to me about the second

phase of my ministry. And then He said to me,

"At this time you are entering into the third
phase of your ministry."
He held His hands out in front of Him and said
to me, "Stretch forth thine hands." I held my
hands out in front of me, like He did. He took
the finger of His right hand and laid it first
in the palm of my right hand. Then He laid
that same finger in the palm of my left hand.
The moment He did, the palms of my hands
began to burn like I had a coal of fire in thema
spot larger than a half dollar.
Jesus said to me, "Kneel down before me." 1
knelt down before Him. He laid His right hand on
my head and said, " I have called thee and have
anointed thee and have given unto thee a special
anointing to minister to the sick."
I'd been praying for the sick a good many
years. First as a Baptist preacher, then after
receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and
coming among Full Gospel people, I continued
to pray for the sick by the laying on of hands
and by the
anointing of oil. But it is also
scriptural to minister to the sick with the "tan
gible anointing" of God's healing power. God's
Healing PowerJesus was anointed with that
power.
After He had laid His hands upon my head
and said those words to me, He said, "Stand
upright on thy feet." I stood on my feet and He
went on to teach me from the Word of God and
to show me some things I had never seen before.
You know, I think because of the fact that we
are religiously brainwashed, it is difficult for us
to see things which are so plain and simple and
have been right in the Bible all the time.
Now you see, I know, because I was born and
raised in a church which didn't teach healing.
I saw healing, however, on the bed of affliction
when they didn't see it. But even after I was
healed and started preaching, I didn't see the
Baptism of the Holy Ghost and tongues. So I
have utmost sympathy for a preacher who
doesn't see it. I don't get out of patience with
him, because I didn't see it at one time, and
thank God, God didn't get out of patience with
me. He still blessed me and helped me.
And we wonder sometimes after we do see it,
"Why didn't I see it?" You sort of feel foolish.
Other people may have seen it all of their life
and they can't understand why you couldn't see
it. But, when you're reading the Bible with
glasses on which are colored with religious
tradition, some things are blocked out. I read
about tongues in the Bible. But when I read about
it, it didn't register on me because my mind had
already been made up that tongues had been done
3

away with. Therefore, it didn't register with me.

That's the way it is with the Bible in other
things. 1 had been taught, and I guess others have
too, that Jesus only healed to prove his Deity
or to prove His Divinityto prove that He is
God manifested in the flesh.
Jesus knew what was in my mind. Of course,
some of these thinkings in your mind would hind
er you from entering into a full ministry as you
should. He went about to get my thinking
straightened out.
He said to me, "Some people say that when I
was on earth in my ministry, I healed to prove
my Deity and to prove my Divinitybut Ididn't."
That came as a real shock to me.
"If that had been the case," He said, "then I
certainly did not prove my Deity and I didn't
prove my Divinity and I did not prove to any
body who I was or what I had in my own home
town of Nazareth. For the Word says in Mark
6:5 that I could there do no mighty work save
I laid my hands on a few sick folk and healed
them. And the few that I did heal didn't have
much wrong with them."
Now you talk about shocking a fellow. That
shocked me out of some of my denominational
tradition. It just shot it full of holes.
I said, "Lord I've read the New Testament
through 150 times and portions of it more than
that, and I didn't know that was in there."
He said, "Why, Son, there's a lot in there
that you don't know."
As He spoke, I began to see what He was
talking about. He said, " I was ministering as a
prophet anointed by the Spirit of God."
Can you see that?
He said, "If I had ministered like a lot of
preachers and like some churches think I did,
when I got to Nazareth I would have challenged
them. I would just have said, 'Well, you doubt
that I'm the Son of God, you doubt that I'm God
manifested in the flesh, you doubt my Deity,
you doubt who I amI'll tell you what you do.
Gather up six totally blind people. We'11 have the
doctors examine them to certify they are totally
blind. Then you get several totally deaf people
and we will have Dr. Luke and other doctors
examine them and certify they are totally deaf.
Bring together a half dozen bedfast people,
paralyzed, crippled who have to be carried in
and we'll have the doctors examine them. Then
I'll heal them.' But I wouldn't even have accepted
a challenge if they challenged me. In fact, they
did challenge me in a sense. They said, 'The
mighty works that we've heard you did in
Capernaum, do them here also in thy country.'
You notice in reading that I never did them.
4

And He didn't.
"All I did," He continued, "all I could
possibly do there was lay my hands on a few
sick folk and heal them. And the few that I
laid hands on didn't have much wrong with them."
Of course, after this I studied that verse
because I really didn't remember it registering
on me before. I looked at Mark 6:5 where it says.
"And he could there do no mighty work, save
that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk,
and healed them." I looked it up in various trans
lations. One translation said, "He laid His
hands on a few 'sickly folk'." Well you know if
you're just sort of 'sickly' you don't have too
much wrong with you.
Then I looked it up in W.E.Vine's Expos
itory Dictionary of New Testament Words. W.E.
Vine was a professor of Greek at Oxford
University and a very learned man in this area.
His book is a very wonderful study. In com
menting on this verse Vine says, "The Greek
says, He laid His hands on a few folk with
minor ailments."
One translation said 'sickly', Vine said the
Greek says 'minor ailments'. Jesus in the
vision said to me, "They didn't have much wrong
with them."
Jesus had said to me, "The King James
translation of the New Testament says that
only a few were healed under my ministry
there."
That upended some of my theology. I had
been taught that Jesus always healed every
body who was sick everywhere He went.
Jesus said to me, "It is true that in some
places on some occasions everybody who was
there in that service or in that place that day,
every sick person was healed. It is also true
that in other places on other occasions and on
other days, like for instance here at Nazareth,
just a few received healing."
One of the accusations thrown at us who
believe in healing and in the healing ministry
is, "If you heal the sick like Jesus why don't
you heal everybody?" Of course, we don't heal
the sick. What they really mean is, "If you
minister to the sick like Jesus and the apostles
did, why don't you heal everybody like they did?"
And, of course, the answer isthey didn't!
That comes as a shock to some people. That
sort of came as a shock to me.
Jesus said, "Notice the text said that I could
there do no mighty work save I laid my hands on
a 'few'. How many is a few?"
I didn't know how many a 'few' was. Do you
know how many a 'few' is? I'd never had any
body ask me that.

Jesus, in that vision, asked me, "How many

is a few? This text said that a'few' were healed."
I said, "Well, uh- uh- a few is a few."Then
I added, "It's not many. I would think, I don't
know, I don't remember anybody ever asking me
how many is a fewbut in my opinion I'd say
less than a dozen just off hand."
Eventually I thought about what the Bible
calls a few. The Bible says about Noah's time
that a few were saved by water. That is eight
souls. It calls eight a few. So if you take what
the Bible calls a few, then there were probably
only about eight or ten people who received
healing.
Jesus said, "Mark 6:5 says that I could there
do no mighty work. A totally blind person being
healed would have been a mighty work, A totally
deaf or crippled or bedfast person being healed,
would have been a mighty work. But the Word
says that the few who were healed didn't have
much wrong with them."
Then He said something which I want you to
see because it came as a real blessing and boon
to me.
"Peter preaching to Cornelius' household
said, 'How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power . . . ' " Jesus stated.
He said, "Being anointed by the Holy Ghost
to minister, the Holy Spirit manifested Himself
in my ministry because I was standing in the
office of a prophet. You'll see those manifesta
tions like you see the manifestations of the Holy
Spirit in the Old Testament."
(We call them Gifts of the Spirit or Mani
festations of the Spirit. Both are correctthese
gifts are manifested.)
Jesus continued, "You'll see the 'Word of
Knowledge' and the 'Word of Wisdom' and 'Dis
cerning of Spirits' and the gift of 'Special Faith'
and the 'Working of Miracles', 'Gifts of Healings'
and the 'Gift of Prophecy' in manifestation all
through the Old Testament, and you'll see these
gifts in manifestation in my ministryevery
one of them."
(And you can see them if you'll read through
it.)
"You do not see 'Tongues with Interpretation'
in the Old Testament anywhere, " He said to me.
"Neither do you see 'Tongues with Interpretation'
in My ministry. Because speaking with tongues
with interpretation is distinctive of this dispen
sation that began on the Day of Pentecost. That's
why you will have more 'Tongues with Interpre
tation' than anything else in this dispensation
they are characteristic of this dispensation."
Then He said, " A s I was anointed by the
Spirit, then the Spirit would manifest Himself

in my ministry. You'll notice at times I didn't

lay hands on the person or even stop to teach
or to preach to them. I would walk up to some
one like at the pool of Bethesda and say,'Arise,
take up your bed and walk' because the Spirit
inspired or prompted me to do that. That was
a manifestation and a greater work. Then I
just walked off and left all of the rest of the
folks, five porches full of them."
(Now, why did He do that?)
" I explained that to these folks here at
Nazareth," He said. " I said to them, Elijah
was a prophet and he was anointed by the
Spirit and here is 'Working of Miracles' in
his ministry. There were many widows in
Israel, but he couldn't just go into any widow's
house and work a miracle. He only went to
one because she was the one he was sent to.
The same with Elisha. There were many lepers
in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet
none of them were healed saving Naaman the
Syrian. Why couldn't he have told all the
lepers to dip in the River Jordon? No, he just
told one person for that one person's benefit.
"These special manifestations will come
(manifestations of 'Gifts of Healing' or 'Work
ing of Miracles' or 'Special Faith,' etc.) as
the Spirit wills," He continued. "You will see
these special manifestations in operation in my
ministry more than you will in any person or
in any ministry today because I had the Spirit
without measure (John 3:34). I had the Holy
Spirit without measure but the whole Church,
the whole Body of Christ, has the Spirit with
the same measure I did. And so these things
will be happening in the whole Body with the same
measure but not in the individual's ministry.
As a Baptist boy preacher and pastor of a
community church, I was baptized with the Holy
Ghost and spoke with other tongues. I went
along for 18 months never having any manifestaions of any kind of Gift of the Spirit in my
ministry other than the 'Word of Knowledge'.
I didn't know what it was at first. But almost
immediately the 'Word of Knowledge' began to
operate and I'd never experienced it before I
was baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Remember Elisha who had a servant Gehazi
that ran after Naaman and lied to him and got
silver and gold and changes of raiment then hid
it? Elisha said, "Where have you been?" "Oh,
no where, my master." Then Elisha said, "My
spirit went with you when you adjoined yourself
to that chariot."
When my wife and I were first married, she
and her family were Methodist. Her mother had
a double goiter on her windpipe. You could see
5

a lot of it on the outside but doctors said the

biggest part of it was inside wrapped around her
windpipe, choking her to death. As we were all
praying, the Spirit said to me, "Get your oil
and anoint your mother-in-law and I'll heal her."
There is something about these special man
ifestations. They will work for people who are
unsaved. They will work for people who don't
even expect to receive anything. My mother-inlaw didn't even expect to be healed. She was the
most surprised one of the bunch when the
goiter did disappear. It went down just like
you'd stuck a pin in a balloon. If you were to
depend on her to believe something you might
as well forget it.
Some have asked, "Why does it work that
way?" I don't know. I'm not God. If He'd wanted
me to know He would have told me. And due to
the fact that He hasn't told me, I'm just going
to leave it alone. But it works!
In the vision Jesus said to me,"I ministered
that way but I didn't have any of these special
manifestations in Nazareth."
"Not only was I anointed by the Spirit to
minister and had the Spirit without measure,
but I also had another phase of ministry. I
was anointed with 'Healing Power'. I was
anointed with the Holy Ghost and Power (Acts
10:38)."
When the woman with the issue of blood
touched Him, the scripture said He knew immedi
ately within Himself that 'power' had gone out
of himnot that the Holy Ghost had gone out
of Him. This wasn't a case of a manifestation
of the Gifts of the Spirit. I want you to get that.
It involves an anointing of 'healing power' that
is transferrable by the touch of faith.
"For people to be healed this way," Jesus
said to me, "they have to have faith. You'll
notice I said to the woman, 'Daughter, thy faith
has made thee whole.'
"In Mark 6:5-6 it says I could do no mighty
works save I laid my hands on a few sick folk
and healed them. Then it says, '...he marvelled
because of their unbelief....'
"The rest of the sixth verse says that I
went about in the cities and villages teaching.
What do you think I taught in those synagogues?
In every single one of them I had that same
message. First, I would read from the book of
Isaiah and then teach them 'lamanointed'. Whe
ther there was any manifestation of spiritual gifts
or not, if they would believe then with the laying
on of hands I could minister to them. God's
'healing power' is transmittable.
"Now then," He said, " I have anointed you with
that healing power. You go tell the people exactly
6

what I have told you. T e l l them you saw me. Tell

them I have appeared to you. Tell them I laid the
finger of my right hand in the palm of each of
your hands. Tell them you feel the healing power
in your hands. Tell them that I told you to tell
them that if they will believe you are anointed
with healing power just as if people in Nazareth
would have believed I was anointed, and if they
will receive that anointing, then when you lay your
hands on them that anointing will flow from your
hands into their bodies and will drive out sick
ness and disease and will affect a healing or cure
in them."
I wanted to go over these grounds very care
fully so that our faith will be, not in man, but in
God's Word. We can see from God's Word how
God works. He works today just like He always
did.
See this fact and believe itGod's 'healing
power' is a tangible substance and a heavenly
materiality which is transmittable by the laying
on of hands, or as in Paul's case, transmittable
by a cloth or handkerchief.
For about twenty years I ministered that way.
I'd say more about it at times than I would at
others. And four times in a twenty year period,
a stronger anointing would come upon me and
everybody I'd touch would fall under the power
of God.
Then on September 6, 1970 my wife and I
checked into a Holiday Inn in Buffalo , N.Y. We
were there with the Full Gospel Business Men
and as I unloaded the car I began to be sick.
It had been 36 years and 22 days since I had
been raised up from a death bed as a Baptist
boy, healed of a deformed heart, almost total
paralysis and an incurable blood disease. I'd
had 36 years and 22 days of divine health. I'd
never been sick. I'd never had a headache.
So if you haven't been sick in 36 years, when
you begin to be you are puzzled. Because I'd
taken my stand and stood on God's Word and said,
"Now, Satan you can't put that on me." But
this time, it didn't work. And I got, as the boy
said, no better fast. Finally I said to my wife,
"I'm going to lie down here on the bed." I was
really sick. It sure was a good thing I didn't
have a service to make right then. I wouldn't
have made it, I don't mind telling you.
I began to look to the Lord and say, "Now,
Lord, what's wrong here. This isn't working.
I know it isn't working. I haven't made the
contact. (You know when you make a contact.)
I haven't made the contact here. I know it's not
You because You don't ever fail. You can't fail.
Nothing is wrong with You. Nothing is wrong
with Heaven. If there is any trouble it is down

here on this end. I have failed. I didn't make

the contact. Now where am I missing it?"
And the Lord spoke to me, spoke to my
spirit plainly and said, "In the first place, you
haven't done what you should have done with
the healing ministry. You have not been as
bold about it as you should have been. ( I
would almost back off from it sometimes. There
are a number of reasons why, but I won't go
into detail about that.) You haven't been as bold
to tell the people what I told you to tell them.
You haven't' done fully what you should have
done."
Now of course, God did not make me sick.
Don't misunderstand me. It was the Devil. The
Devil is the author of sickness and disease.
But God said to me, "If you want to be healed
now, I'm going to tell you how you're going to
do it. And this is the only way you're going to get
it this time. Just put your hands on yourself.
If you don't do that, you won't get your healing.
I did not tell you the healing power was in
your head. I did not tell you it was in your feet.
I told you when I laid the finger of my hand in
palms of your hands that the healing power was
in your hands. Put your hands on yourself and
you'll be healed."
It didn't take me long to get my hands there!
Brother, I got them there in a hurry. And I
felt a warm glow flowing out of my hands into my
body and immediately I began to ammend.
Immediately I began to ammend. Halleujah!
Then the Lord spoke to me and said, "Just
stay six weeks here, then go back down to
Tulsa," ( I had arrangements made to be in New
York state eight more weeks.) "In Tulsa, from
October 11th througrh the 18th, conduct a prayer
school and a healing school from Sunday to
Sunday. In the night services, have a healing
school and in the day services have a prayer
school. Teach on prayer, particularly inter
cessory prayer and then pray. At night teach on
healing. Teach first of all, that healing belongs to
all because the Word of God says, 'Himself,
Jesus, took our infirmities and bare our sick
nesses.' Teach that anyone can minister to the
sick, all believers can by the laying on of hands.
Then when you get to the middle of the week,
on Wednesday night, go back and tell the people
what I told you twenty years ago. This time with
more boldness and emphasis. When you obey me,
that stronger anointing that came on you four
times in the past twenty years will come on you
to abide."
Then I had a vision. God gave me a vision,
that day in New York state, as I was lying on
that bed in the Holiday Inn.

I saw my chapel in Tulsa and what would

happen. I saw myself laying hands on folk. I saw
people lying all over that chapel. A l l over the
front of it on the floorpeople I knew there in
Tulsa.
I did not tell a soul about the vision, not even
my wife. Back in Tulsa it came to pass just like
I'd seen in the vision. The first lady came and I
reached out and touched her. I knew she was
going to fall. When she went down, I asked a
young preacher standing by to catch her. The
very people I had seen in the vision fell in the
very spot I'd seen them fall.
Another interesting thing in connection with
this was that ten days before the vision in New
York, my wife called my attention to the fact
that she had a growth or a lump in each breast.
One of them was the size of a half dollar the
other the s i z e of a quarter. We immediately
prayed, commanded the things to wither and
die and disappear. Then by faith, according to
Mark 11:24 received it. In two or three days the
smaller lump disappeared but the larger was
still there and continued to grow bigger.
But that night in Tulsa when we obeyed
God, my wife told me when we got home that
something had quickened her and said, "Go
look, that's gone." She went and examined it
and it was gone. It had disappeared during the
service. Praise God! It is rewarding to obey God.
The anointing came on me so strong after
I'd prayed for those people I couldn't stand up
myself. My son-in-law had to hold me up to
finish the service. I couldn't even drive my car
home. I went home and got into a large chair
and it was two hours before I got back to normal.
I'm telling you about these things so you'll
believe in them, for it won't work just because
you try it. It won't work because you say, "Well
I believe I'll try that and see if he can heal me."
I cannot heal you.
No man can. But God's
'Healing Power', the 'anointing' can!
Hallelujah to Jesus!
