Whats Makes A Preacher Anointed ?
 

How many times in church have you heard , someone say man that Preacher was Anointed.Then you might ask such a person making this statement , what do you mean ?
They might say that Preacher was Anointed cause He really was loud and stomped around ,or He preached really fast, or He really blasted those in sin.
You might even ask such people what did the Preacher preach on and what were His key points ? they might not even know ,but yet the Preacher was really anointed ?
What makes a preacher truly Anointed?
What are Biblical qualifications that we could equate with being Anointed?

Being passionate about the word you are delivering.

I do not believe it equates to screaminng, yelling and a snorting.

Delivered with love and care for souls. Not like you're mad that somebody tracked mud in on your carpets, ;-)

It seems many equate being Anointed with volume.
I went to a tent meeting once and the man was loud, and long winded and I couldn't tell you what was preached, but everybody jumped and screamed.
I made a mistake and knelt near a loud speaker, boy my ears were fried.
Also they used a horn of oil, and poured oil on people when they prayed for them.

"There is a difference between Annointing and Blessing. I want to be Blessed and Annointed" - Rev Ronnie Mullings

Sounds like a great message.

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

I believe whom God calls, he annoints..

Now, how they deliver the preaching is a different matter all together.

I too, have heard so many equate anointing with loudness, or gymnastics..hehe

I have heard quiet preachers I know are 'anointed"

Just my 2 cents...

You are kidding right?:faint

I agree. I find a truly anointed person will have a special quality to what they have ministered (word, exhortation, worship, counselling, etc.). You know you have heard from the Lord. You know you have been imparted life.

I find true anointings are rare.

Just because someone has ministered "truth" does not equate to an anointing. Just because the listeners have been emotionally effected, does not equate to an anointing. Just because someone has delivered a through teaching on the listeners pet doctrine does not equate to an anointing. Antics and volume do not equate to an anointing.

Amen!!

I was going to add that and I didn't. I know its anointed when it has changed ME..When that precious word makes contact with my heart and convicts me of my sin, when it compels me to be more Christlike. I love it!!!!

That is anointed preaching!!!!!

 A good listener!

To me the listener makes their own judgement.

I have a sense of when folks are honest and sincere.

It is not in the show it is in the spirit of a person....

What Makes A Preacher Annointed?

1. The louder he preaches the more the annoining.
2. "Holy Breath" into the microphone.

Taking off his jacket and throwing it onto the chair behind. This always loosens up the preacher and the anointin'.

I guess us rather calm guys are out of luck.

I NEVER take my coat off because some of the places that I have been they would hand it back to you.

Too casual in the pulpit.

Yeeeeee hawwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Preach it, Doc!!!

You could take it off at our church. We wouldn't mind. :D

ummmmmmm, me thinks me detects a little bit of "preacher bashing" here. There are a lot of "negative" vibes coming through this little tirade!!!!

Noway! When I used to minister to students in class I was very calm. You could feel the conviction in the room! If you could have only been there!!

BTW... I'm talkin about when I was in high school my sophomore and junior yrs. I lost something soon after that. lol

I hope you got that something back.Hang in there my friend ,rekindle that fire.

If the preacher was called of God to preach and he is filled with the Holy Ghost (he wouldn't be called of God to preach if he wasn't filled with the Holy Ghost), he is anointed. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how well he works himself up into an emotional frenzy or whips the congregation up into some sort of emotional frenzy.

I think most of the current generation believe it is the volume.

It seems like this is assuming that any Holy Ghost filled preacher is "called." I think some/many have a self calling.

Also, to take your statement at face value, one would need to believe you feel that anything a Holy Ghost filled person does is "anointed." For all it is worth, if this is what is implying, I strongly disagree.

I think we all have heard some Holy Ghost filled preachers/teachers that were the most unanointed speakers - long winded, boring, technically wrong, full of themselves, constantly harping on their hobbyhorse pet doctrine, etc. I sure have. (obviously not all at the same time, or all from the same person) I think ANYONE would be hard pressed to call these people "anointed."

I do not agree with that, I know some pretty loud preachers that are annointed, as well as some calm preachers. I do not think that the annointing is limited to our understanding of loud or calm & reserved. I think that if the preacher can get you engrossed to what he is saying, and you feel the HG while he is preaching, then I would say that that is annointing. jmho

The amount of corn he shucked!! :toofunny

I agree... get up and scream "the word of God sehhhs AHH... No [pause] AD-UL-TERER [pause] shall in-hair-it AHHH the Kingdom!!!"

then stomp on the altar...

Go back and READ THE WORDS. STOP TRYING TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the preacher was called of God to preach and he is filled with the Holy Ghost (he wouldn't be called of God to preach if he wasn't filled with the Holy Ghost), he is anointed.

I said EXACTLY AND ONLY what I said. None of this other nonsense your talking about is contained anywhere in what I said.

Let me translate it for you: A preacher is anointed IF: 1) he is called of God to preach and; 2) he is filled with the Holy Ghost. (Parenthetical statement: God does not call anyone to preach whom He does not also fill with the Holy Ghost). Both conditions 1 and 2 must be present.

As for all that other stuff you mentioned, just because God has anointed him doesn't mean he's perfect. Sometimes anointed men of God do step out and start operating in their flesh. Remember Baalam the prophet and remember King Saul.

I think we get anointing mixed up sometimes with natural giftings of personality, charisma, natural God given communication skills and relating with people.

Some men just have a very commanding way of relating with a congregation from the pulpit. They're fluent, never stuck for words, have the gift of gab, know how to grab people's attention, etc. That is not anointing.

On the other hand I've seen men who had speech impediments, naturally shy and retiring but when they began to minister there was an authority about them, there was the presence of God that emanated from them and that connected with the spirits and hearts of the people sitting in the pews that was unmistakeably an anointing that came from heaven. Nothing so much about the man.

Anointing (Greek "chrisma") is the blessing and favour of God. If that's the case then I'm mightily anointed and so are many of you.

I love this scripture.......... :)

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
