How do you know if someone has truly been "annointed?" Do we accept their claim? Do we look to the effectiveness of their ministry as with D L Moody? In other words, do we use some objective measure of how many people came to Christ? Or, how many people attend regularly? Do we even have a right to measure the "effectiveness" of one's ministry if one claims to be annointed? How does annointing relate to being "called?" Should there be some test that determines if one is truly annointed? There are so many questions that this post raises. Yet, there are times when ordinary people do extraordinary spiritual things and you do have a sense of a Factor X. I have always thought of Billy Graham in that sense. But, annointing has to mean something more than a post hoc explanation for an effective ministry. It's something that happens beforehand and then plays out in one's ministry. I would be very interested in other's thoughts on this. It seems to me that you could write a book on this - 360 Degree Annointing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
