Hebrews 1:13-14

New King James Version (NKJV)

13 But to which of the angels has He ever said:

“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

How do we inherit salvation?

1 Peter 1:3-5

New King James Version (NKJV)

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Faith, I believe in faith. Sometimes we put emphasis on inanimate objects, like hair, when it was always only about faith.

If we followed the example of the Biblical account, a person wouldn't need anyone to oil it up or pray over it. They would just reach out, touch the anointed person, and take that home with them. I still feel they were so very desperate, that God honored their faith and some hearing the accounts, copied what was done.

But, like I said, I have been in a service where the evangelist was so anointed, you could feel the presence of God flowing out from him, all around him. It was palpable. I could very well imagine someone reaching out to touch such an anointing.

Yes, it is the Word that draws, and that begins with prayer. His Word should draw people.

I heard someone say the other day, "We used to be so excited, waiting to move, waiting for that preacher's certain 'tone'."

It reminded me of Bro. Billy Cole at Because of the Times. He says, in a regular voice, "God is doing great things." Not much of a response. Then he shouts, "GOD is DOING GREAT THINGS!" The whole place exploded. He said, "See what you did? You responded to how I said that and not what I said." Then, of course, he pulls it again a bit later and they did it again. He said, "See? You did it again. We will learn." Kind of sad that "tone" and "volume" feels like an anointing to some people.

The last person I met that the anointing was strong that I could still feel it days later was Bro TW Barnes.

There was nothing arrogant about this man! He was the epitome of humility and character. He was consistent, always an example of Christ-likeness! Had some personal dealings with him in years past. Never heard anyone say a bad word about Bro. T. W. Barnes.

Loved the story he told of putting up his tent, with a sign across the front that said ....... "Barnes Healing Campaign", (or something like that.) He step back, looked it over, and the Lord spoke to him and said, "Hope you have a good one!" He took the sign down and never used it again. Just thought I'd share....

It says "heirs" of salvation in the KJV. If we are children, then we are heirs.

I can't remember the young man's name, but he was probably in his late 20's or early 30's. I agree with your assessment of Bro. Barnes.

I remember that story. I believe I read about it. Didn't hear him telling it.
