Then how did Paul send healing in a handkerchief?

That was about the anointing of the oil of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit per se wasn't in the handkerchief but there was an anointing on the handkerchief.

LOL. That doesn't sound like a credible argument really but I think there's truth there somewhere. Somebody else can probably articulate what I'm trying to say better.

I haven't eaten or had coffee yet and my brain's still a little fuzzy. That's my excuse.

He didn't...first, Paul didn't send anything. People around him took parts of his clothing and sent them to folks who couldn't be where the miracles were taking place.

Second, there is no more power in an object than there is in the oil used to anoint it.

By the same token, though men and women are anointed with the power of God, and some even have the gift of healing, the miracle is NOT in the vessel.

It is the faith of the one receiving it...the excellency of the power is of God and not of us or objects.

The handkerchief was an object of faith, imo...nothing more...

In or on the same thing applies your saying the spirit was with the object.

My point is that the enemy has always copied the things of God.

Do you have a scripture to prove your point?

Thanks for responding.

I remember Brother Suber talking about a lady who had a huge gold medallion
on in a service and how the mother of the church ran out in the Holy Ghost and tore it from this big womans neck.The woman then received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues.He said this woman was possessed by a spirit that
was housed in that medallion.Maybe Daniel can find out more about that.
Wierd huh?
