Rob Rufus on Apostles

"The primary ministry of an apostle is government of grace and laying foundations and the primary sign of an apostle is signs, wonders and miracles. Apostles equip the church for miracles as do evangelists!".

Rob Rufus - "The Flow of the Anointing" - Grace and Glory Conference - the Phillipines

Ern Baxter on the Effects of the Anointing

"When the anointing is upon you, it has physical effect".

Dr Ern Baxter - "The Ephod" (Priestly Garments Series) - Anglia Bible Week 1984 - video cassette.

Tom Schreiner on Luke 4:18

"The text proceeds to say that Jesus was sent to free the imprisoned, to grant sight to the blind, to free the oppressed and to herald the grace of God. Such a gracious ministry is due to the work of the Spirit in Jesus' life. It flows from the Spirit's anointing. We should also observe that Jesus described the whole of His ministry here, so that every dimension of His work depended on the anointing power of the Spirit. Every good work detailed in Luke stems from the Spirit Himself. Jesus truly was the bearer of the Spirit, the Man marked out by the Spirit, the Man was uniquely strengthened by the Spirit".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p442).

Tom Schreiner on the Power Behind Jesus Ministry

"Such healing and exorcisms occured because "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power" (Acts 10:38). We note again the close association of the Spirit and power, as in Luke 4:14. The effectiveness of Jesus' ministry, His miracles and healings flowed not from Himself but from the power of the Spirit".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p442).

Tom Schreiner on Jesus and the Holy Spirit

"Broadly speaking Jesus' relation to the Spirit can be designated as one of anointing in that the Spirit anointed Jesus for ministry".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p436).

Rob Rufus on the Anointing and the Glory

"You work hard in the anointing but when you get into the glory it is effortless. The anointing is empowering man to do ministry but the glory is God turning up - the glory realm is the realm of the supernatural - it's the realm of healing".

Rob Rufus - "A Covenant of Grace" - Newfrontiers Europe Conference - Session 1 - 10 May 2008.

Bill Johnson on God is looking for those He can trust

"God has combined the ultimate quest with the promised outpouring of the Spirit because the ones He intends to clothe with the same anointing that rested upon His Son are those who have the same heart for the face of God that Jesus possessed. Only those with His heart can be trusted to use His power for its intended purpose - to represent Him in all His glory and goodness. This is our challenge - and our destiny."

Bill Johnson, "Face to face with God. The ultimate quest to experience His presence."

Rob Rufu on 2 Kings 3:11-12

An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah". Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him".

"The kings understood the impartation of the anointing. If you serve a ministry then you catch the anointing on that ministry. You receive the anointing on that ministry! You will receive it!".

Rob Rufus - "3 Realities that Increase God's Power" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 1st October 2006.

Bill Johnson on the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ

""I will have poured out My Spirit on (them)" (Ezekiel 39:29). The face of God is revealed in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit also needed to happen to Jesus for Him to be fully qualified. This was His quest. Receiving this anointing qualified Him to be called the Christ which means "anointed One". Without the experience there could be no title".

Bill Johnson - "Face to Face Intimacy with God" - Charisma House Publishing, Florida (2007) - p109

Bill Johnson on Giving Away What You Receive

"Give away what you have already received. Never underestimate what hungry people can "pull" from you while you minister the Word. Being in a place of continual giving is a sure way of getting more".

Bill Johnson - "Dreaming with God" - Destiny Image Publishers, Shippensburg, PA (2006) - p133.

Bill Johnson on Anointing and Revelation

"Revelation means 'to lift the veil' or 'remove the cover'. Revelation gives us access to the realms of greater anointing available to us to make that truth a personal experience and lifestyle. The greater the truth, the greater the anointing needed to demonstrate that truth to the world. Anointing must be pursued not assumed (see 1 Cor 14:1). The measure of anointing that we carry reveals the measure of revelation we actually live in".

Bill Johnson - "Dreaming with God" - Destiny Image Publishers, Shippensburg, PA (2006) - p131.

Rob Rufus on Why Jesus Did Miracles

"When Jesus did miracles on this earth, He did not do them to show us what God could do. He did them to show us what ordinary human beings could do through being rightly related to God".

Rob Rufus - "Invading the Impossible - Part 3" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 27th January 2008.

Rob Rufus on Defining Revelation

"For revelation is an invitation to a divine encounter to empower you to do what has been revealed to you. Revelation is something that is hidden but is now no longer hidden. As soon as you see it, you have an anointing to access it".

Rob Rufus - "Invading the Impossible 3" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 27th January 2008.

Ruth Heflin on the Song of Solomon (Songs)

"As worshippers we need to get to know that great worship book, the Song of Songs. Get to know it until it becomes a part of you. After a while it will almost feel as though you wrote it. Solomon got just a little ahead of you and put it on paper. At first you may feel that you wish you had the ability to write it. Then ... you will know you could have written it because you will have the same experiences".

Ruth Heflin on Worship and the Glory

"It is worship that brings forth the glory and God's ultimate desire is that the glory of the Lord "covers the earth as the waters cover the sea". The glory will descend as snow. The praisers pray until the spirit of worship comes. The worshippers worship until the glory is manifested".

Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - p90.

Ruth Heflin on Worship

"In worship we are focusing on WHO He is and not WHAT He does".

Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - p87.

Ruth Heflin on the Anointing in Church

"The ministry of praise increases the anointing in the service. It increases the anointing in the individual. But the ministry of worship brings the glory. Praise brings the anointing to worship and worship brings that anointing of glory".

Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - p86.

Ruth Heflin on Worship Leaders

"When a worship leader is concious that the anointing has built to the place that the spirit of worship comes, he should slip quickly into a little song of worship. It should be less wordy than the song of praise. When you worship, you don't need to say great things".

Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - pp85-86.

A W Tozer on Worship and the Holy Spirit

"When the Holy Spirit comes among us with His anointing, we become a worshipping people".

A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p15).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Power of the Holy Spirit

"The power of the Spirit in this vital, living sense working through one person can do more in a minute than thousands can do in a hundred years".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Exposition of Chapter 12 - Christian Conduct - Romans" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2000) - (p207).
