What is “the anointing”?
It is the term used to describe the spiritual atmosphere of a gathering of believers. “The anointing is so strong here,” we hear used so often. It is a way to describe the spiritual manifestation in a meeting. Someone says, “Can you see the anointing on him?” Sometimes the phrase “anointing” is used to describe feelings, emotions or the “atmosphere” during ministry time around the altar. It is common for someone to say, “I can feel the anointing”. We use it when trying to describe a minister, “He is so anointed”.
The anointing is the tangible presence of God. God’s presence, like oil, brings a particular fragrance that announces to all, He is in the HOUSE! Molly Lake shares how believers can smell the aroma of the anointing in her first book, The Fragrance of Healing.
