Have you ever heard of pain
being associated with the anointing?
Yes I have heard of pain being
experienced. I dont personally want to experience it though. Everytime I have felt the
anointing, it has made me feel good. It has been peaceful, joyful and intoxicating. I have
never felt pain, just tingling, numbness, heat and kind of light in the head, a lot of
peace and of course the joy of the Lord. I have also seen people shaking under the
anointing.
You need to remember that God's
power is great. When we get just a small touch of His power, our human bodies cannot
contain it. It affects people's nervous systems differently. The manifestations are not
what God is doing, just an outward reaction to an inward work.
Like in Acts 9, where Saul of
Tarsus, falls to the ground, and the light of God shines on him, he hears a voice, and the
bible says, he trembling and astonished. So there is a definate reaction that mere mortal
beings, like us, experience when an immortal, omnipotant God touches them.
The focus should never be on
experiences, but rather on Him who is dealing with us. When you are intimately involved
with Jesus, His glory comes upon you and you change.
1 Corinthians 12 says, "...
the manifestation of the Spirit is give to all to profit withall" There should come a
benefit from the touch of God on your life.
