I write regularly about the Anointing of the Set-Apart {Holy} Spirit of the Creator on Anointed Believers but I have never told people who seek such Anointing what to expect.
This was brought home to me recently when I was chatting to a man who is making a real effort to draw close to Father and who mentioned that on two occasions recently people had commented that he had an “aura”. I was excited as it was an indication of the progress he was making in his quest to draw close to Father.

NEXT SECTION: Praying in the Spirit (Tongues) >>>
It then occurred to me that I had never indicated to him, or to the list generally, what to expect as one draws closer to Father Yah. That is the purpose of this article.
At a fundamental level, as the Anointing, the infilling with the Spirt of Yah, increases one will likely experience various physical manifestations of the impact of the Spirit on our flesh, these are set out below.

Intense In-filling with the Spirit of Yah = Anointing
In considering this article it is important to be aware that I am writing in the context of intense in-filling with the Spirit of Yah. It is possible to come to belief and then receive a small portion of Yah’s Spirit. It is also possible to come to belief and be instantly filled with an intense in-filling – it simply is a function of the circumstances of the in-filling.
It is possible to reach an intense in-filling over time, incrementally, as set out in a number of the articles above and it is also possible to suddenly have a step-change whereby there is a sudden boost.
In my own case my journey was as follows:
- Came to belief around the age of 14, no awareness of the Spirit of Yah and no in-filling.
- 12th March 1993 – major revelation of the reality of the Creator, the following Sunday a basic infilling.
- Days, weeks and months that followed progressive incremental infilling and exposure to what happened with those who were intensely filled.
- Early morning 2nd of January 1994 having read the book “Good Morning Holy Spirit” by Benny Hinn I lay on my stomach repeatedly praying, “Father, I desire to know you the way Benny Hinn does”. In particular Benny Hinn describes an intense encounter with the Spirit of the Creator and this is what I was desiring. You can purchase the book on Amazon or there are various free pdf downloads available on Google. Note that this is NOT an endorsement of Benny Hinn’s present ministry.
After praying this way for probably about half an hour my bedroom was filled with a roaring sound and I experienced intense pressure on my back pressing me into my bed. I then went to sleep.
- The next morning I woke with no awareness of any change. My personal assistant arrived at work in tears, her brother had just committed suicide. I took her hands and prayed for her and what felt like an electric current flowed through my arms into her. She looked at me with wide eyes and said “what was that?” Immediately she experienced supernatural peace. That was the first step in my journey of walking with a powerful Anointing. Further discussion below.
What should you do in order to achieve this level of Anointing?
You may well be asking what you should do to achieve this level of Anointing. The simple answer is to follow the procedure set out in the articles above several of which reference the article “Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Creator” at https://www.eti-ministries.org/seven-components-of-drawing-close -- this will lead you through a cleansing process, teach you about worship, etcetera.
Once this is well in place I suggest you read “Good Morning Holy Spirit” as always refer “2023.04.11 Critical Caveats regarding Third Party Content” at https://www.eti-ministries.org/critical-caveats-re-third-party-content
This will give you a good idea of what you are aiming for.
Once you have read Good Morning Holy Spirit and assuming you then have a hunger to be really deeply filled with the Spirit of Yah I suggest you do what I did – get flat out on you stomach before Father and pray “Father I desire to be filled with your Spirit the same way that Yahooshua was filled”. I suggest Yahooshua as the ultimate example of a Spirit Filled Believer, you could substitute another name if there is someone else whose example you desire to emulate. Note that today I would not pray this prayer relative to anyone other than Yahooshua. Keep praying this until something happens that you recognize that your prayer has been answered.
The Anointing is easily Lost
The Anointing is not easily gained but it is easily lost. If you join yourself sexually to someone who has a lesser Anointing to you the Anointing will drain off you into them. If you lose your temper and get into raging anger you will destroy the Anointing, same with fear or other emotion that is not from Yah. Similarly, if you are joined to someone sexually and they get into anger, fear, etcetera then the Anointing will drain of you.
It is important to be aware that once you have lost an Anointing you will NEVER regain that same Anointing, no matter how hard you work at it. In such a case if you work at it you will gain a NEW Anointing with different attributes. If this happens repeatedly you will eventually reach a point where there are NO further Anointings available to you!
Some Manifestations of the Anointing
Following are manifestations of the Anointing that I have personally experienced or which I know about, in no particular order.
- Tingling that is best described as “like electricity”. This can be through one’s entire body but most frequently in my experience manifests in the arms when you lay hands on or hold hands with a person and pray for them. Generally only touch another person once you have asked and received consent. Generally I pray with a hand on the shoulder, with a hand on the head or holding their hand being alternatives depending on the situation. Do not touch anywhere else unless it is really appropriate and you have their full consent – this would generally ONLY be if you are praying for healing of a specific bodily location.
- Heaviness, legs partially buckle. This can happen when worshipping, when praying for someone or when asking for guidance. For several years I had an anointing whereby if I was standing and asked Father a “yes / no” type of question my legs would buckle slightly to indicate a yes or no answer. Sometimes this simply happens while worshipping.
- People around you sink to the ground. For a few years after the in-filling I experienced on 2nd of January 1994 I would be worshipping in an assembly with a particularly anointed song and situation and the people immediately around me in the auditorium would sink to the ground as the pressure of the Anointing on me flowed into them.
In a very specific situation in Malawi later that year the Anointing on me was so strong that an entire assembly of about fifty people where I was teaching sank to the ground crying and weeping and repenting of their sins.
The following day, in a meeting with three other men, as I walked to each one in turn they were knocked to the floor under the power of the Spirit of Yah on me without me touching them.
- Aura {Halo}. I have referred above to the man who has recently been informed by third parties that they see an Aura around his head. I have never experienced this personally but it is a well-documented phenomenon – there are many medieval works of art that portray Believers with a Halo (Aura). This is frequently associated with the term “Saint” where “Saint” is simply a reference to one filled with the Spirit of Yah, an Anointed One.
- People prayed for experience Peace, Joy, etcetera. I have mentioned the case of my personal assistant who experienced the Peace of Yah that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). When praying with the Anointing, pray as led. The person prayed for may experience Peace, Joy, an infilling of the Spirit, an electrical current-like feeling, warmth, a vision, etcetera. Whatever Father Yah wants to share with them.
- People prayed for experience healing. With a strong Anointing it is possible that people you pray for may be healed. This will be subject to the strength of your Anointing and your assurance that healing IS the will of Yah. As you grow in this dramatic healings are possible.
- Inspired {Prophetic} utterance. Once you have a substantial infilling it is possible for Father Yah to speak through you directly. In the first instance you will find yourself praying for people with increased confidence and assurance that what you are praying IS from Yah. As you progress, and depending on circumstances, you may reach a point where for short periods of time Yah speaks through you directly using you simply as a voice piece. I have had a few experiences of this, albeit limited. This is how Yahooshua operated constantly.
- Inspired writing and wisdom in Ministry. All these points can arise in parallel, there is NO particular sequence. As you grow in Anointing so you may increase in wisdom with regard to your Ministry and your writing and speaking with regard to the matters of Yah.
- Wisdom in your secular occupation. We all have a Ministry and all have a secular occupation that should fund the Ministry. Through infilling with the Spirit of Yah you may, in time, make better decisions, invent and create in your secular occupation recognizing that at all times you are NOT a Glove Puppet, see “2022.07.06 The biggest error crippling Mature Anointed Believers” at https://www.eti-ministries.org/biggest-error-crippling-mature-anointed-believers
- Other. There are any number of other ways that Yah can interact with you and move through you as you grow in Anointing. At the same time you are ALWAYS required to exercise discernment and discretion in what you do.
Conclusion
I hope that this has given you a better understanding of what happens when you become an Anointed One.

May Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His Peace
May Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it with regard to everything that I write and publish
