. . . Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.—ZECHARIAH 4:6

By the Spirit of God

When I was in Louisville, Kentucky, a woman came up to me at a church service and said, “There is a woman in my prayer group who has cancer of both lungs. She has lapsed into a coma and is in the hospital under an oxygen tent. The doctors say that

she’ll not live past midnight. Will you come and pray for her?”

I said, “No, I can’t go, but do you have a handkerchief?” She said, “Just a regular lady’s handkerchief? I have a clean one right here in my purse.”

I said, “All right. I’ll lay my hands on it when we are ministering under the anointing, and you take it and lay it on her.”

She said, “Will that work?”

I said, “Just as good as if I’d laid hands on her in person.”

So I laid hands on the handkerchief. She took the handkerchief and went to the hospital. At 9:30 p.m., she lifted up the oxygen tent and laid the handkerchief on the woman.

Two hours later, the woman suddenly revived and said, “I’m healed.”

A doctor said, “They get better sometimes before they die.”

The doctors kept her there for three days and then dismissed her. They said, “We don’t understand it. Both lungs have cleared up. We can’t find a thing in the world wrong with her. Every test we run comes back negative.” You see, there has to be a connection. And that connection is

the anointing of God’s Spirit!

Confession:

I am healed, not by my might or by my power. I am healed by God’s Spirit. The anointing of God heals me.
