the Power of God

Postby one love » June 23rd, 2008, 9:13 am

Has anyone else experienced this. I , as many here know suffer with major back/neck problems which also gives me awful migraines. I am always in some pain but I have always noticed when I am preaching and the annointing hits I have no pain the entire time but when the service is over it comes back.
Last night I was on to preach and I had the worse migraine and I was just praying during the worship service for the Lord to help me preach this message and take the pain away. As soon as I got in the pulpit the Lord annointed the message and the pain was gone, after service it was right back. It lets me know that his power can touch anything. Has anyone else had this happen, i heard some ministers say similar things in the past I was just curious.
I heard one minister tell me he preached revival for 2 weeks and people were saved and many were filled with the HG and many were healed. He said night after night people were being healed yet every night he was in severe pain with his back. SO bad it would bring him to tears.

A theory?

Feeling that anointing gives a physical and psychological rush that comes with a flood of endorphins. It is the bodies' physiological response to a spiritual experience. (It also explains a lot of people who seem to be temporarily healed during meetings, but "relapse" the next morning.)

That very type of experience happened to my dad every Sunday for about 6 months before he died of lung cancer. He would barely be able to walk or talk at the beginning of his message. By the end, you couldn't tell there was anything wrong with him (we have the proof on tape of his last sermon, btw). Then, after church he would get weak again. God gave Daddy strength for His purposes. Up to the day before his death. He never missed a Sunday sermon - even with terminal cancer.

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:21

Your Dad's last sermon was incredible. I can't even begin to describe how awesome it was to hear him when he said that he felt the power of God giving him strength to continue.

Thank you for that testimony and I know it happens and is real because I go through it with pain, it is the only true relief I get is when preaching. Awesome testimony of your father :D

That takes nothing away from God's power and anointing, BTW... I was just thinking about how that anointing manifests itself in the physical.

PG is correct in his answer. We allow ourselves to relax in the spirit and let the "endorphines" do their work. You anticipate the "rush" of "annointing" which basically causes you to relax the muscles that you have tensed for some reason or the other.


There is a therapy that is akin to this.....it is called "neuro-muscular" therapy. It works in much the same way. I highly recommend it. I have two therapists in my church.

I have the same problem. I've already had one surgery and refuse to have any more. It just made the pain worse. Some days the pain is so intense you can go all day without eating.

But just like you, as soon as I'm in the pulpit something happens. God shows up and I have no pain. I've often wondered, is it the anointing or am I just so caught up in the moment? But as I've grown older, I realize that it's the anointing.
