ENDUED WITH POWER

MY TESTIMONY OF HIS ENDUEMENT

Since 1984 I have received several anointings from the Lord, several quickenings by His Holy Spirit upon the cells of my body, and also several impartations through the laying on of hands from anointed ministers of the Lord. In each experience I have received something different and specific from the Lord and my life changed as a result of these experiences. This particular post is when He "endued me with power from upon high." I do not know if this experience is (or will be) the same as others, but this is what happened to me. I apologize, this is 5 pages long, quite out of norm for Ears2Hear. However I felt this shouldn’t be shortened or separated.

PREPARATION FOR THE CONFERENCE

For weeks before attending a Mahesh conference, I continued to turn with "anointed hands" to the scripture: "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." (Luke 24:49 KJV) [Anointed hands is my term for randomly opening the Bible and my eyes fall upon a scripture that is quickened to me.] Since I normally do not turn to this scripture, I felt that the Lord was trying to tell me something.

AT THE CONFERENCE

Mahesh mentioned in passing, the phrase, "Tarry until you are endued." This penetrated my heart, especially since I had already been alerted to that scripture.

CONFIRMATION

I again turned with anointed hands to the same scripture, Tarry until you are endued with power." (Luke 24:49)

VISION: I saw a series of dominoes flashing in front of my eyes. They went in succession from 4, 3, 2. I felt impressed that this was the countdown of the days of the conference and that it was one more day before something special would occur. I was hoping that it was His promised enduement!

HEARD: My daughter. Gloooooory service. I baptize you. Baptizer.

[I heard His still small voice say glory like that, and this was very funny!]

Acts 1:4-8 NKJV

And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

WORD STUDY: When the Holy Spirit "fell" upon them, the Greek word "fell" means to embrace or seize with violence.

Acts 10:44 KJV

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

FELL

NT:1968

epipipto (ep-ee-pip'-to); from NT:1909 and NT:4098; to embrace (with affection) or seize (with more or less violence; literally or figuratively):

LAST SERVICE OF THE CONFERENCE

I was on the ministry team, but special arrangements had been made so I could ride home with my friends prior to the final evening meeting. Even though they were leaving to return home at a decent hour, and I did not have to minister that final meeting, I had a deep yearning to stay and tarry. This was a very difficult decision for me to let them go, and then call my husband saying I was coming home a day late. I had an expectation deep in my heart that the Lord wanted to give me something special.

ENDUED WITH POWER!

What would have happened had I not stayed???? Oh THANK YOU LORD! Tonight Mahesh prayed over all the people individually. He stopped before each one, and said a word or a sentence, and sometimes he was forceful and aggressive. When he came to me, he touched me gently on the forehead and whispered in my ear a very special phrase. He had no way of knowing that years ago the Lord had promised me that exact thing. This was a reiteration of that promise.

I did not receive an impartation from Mahesh. I went down very softly and was very touched by the fact it was so soft. I was nervous of falling having had a very bad experience. I felt nothing as I laid there and wondered if I had received anything like an impartation. I felt that I had not.

As the phrase Mahesh spoke to me began to work its way into my heart, I began to softly cry as I was so touched by the tenderness and love in which Mahesh gave me this Word. It was a representation of how I knew the Lord was treating me. I felt very vulnerable and receptive to the Lord’s love at that moment.

Suddenly I heard the Lord’s BOOMING voice say, "Daughter, you are anointed!" On the word anointed, it was as though a million volts of electricity charged through my entire body. I shook violently all over with even my heavy tennis shoes pounding the ground. It was totally radical! Then just as suddenly, the voltage stopped and I lay there perfectly still. That was even more amazing! As I was worshipping Him in my mind, I heard Him quietly say, "Protected" and again this violent voltage happened! This time it was so strong I began to laugh while I was being "wired". Then it stopped and once again I was perfectly at peace. A third time His voice and voltage came and I again heard, "Protected."

After these strong electrical currents stopped. I began to cry deep sobs. Strong pain that I had no idea was there came from the depths of my being. Grandma Anna turned over leaning against me and gently placed her hand upon my forehead. It was very soothing and immediately the deep pain left and I was surrounded in His peace once again. I sat up and watched others being blessed and again I heard the Lord say, "Anointed." Even though I was sitting up, I went berserk! I radically shook all over and my heavy tennis shoes were pounding on the floor. It was quite an experience.

IN BED

I managed to get up to my hotel room and I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep. Anna said a word that was quickened to me and I was struck again by His power voltage! My bed pounded like an earthquake, as the palms of my hands happened to be face down upon the mattress. This was hilarious!

I heard the Lord say, "Shake, rattle and roll!" and again the voltage came. I shook all over and laughed hysterically. I was so amazed at all of this, I had never been "touched" like this before. I finally went to sleep. Then I heard the Lord in the night.

HEARD: Anointed. The glory of God is coming. Step into the glory. Liquid light.

VISION: I saw moving, living liquid light swirls. It was like the Lord lifted the veil and I saw His glory briefly.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

The next morning as I washed my face, I felt a slight burning as though it had been sun or wind burned. I looked at it carefully and sure enough I had sunburn even in the small cracks and wrinkles around my eyes. This was supernatural because I had not been in the sun at all. It was from the brief moment when the Lord lifted the veil and I saw His liquid light. I believe this was the Shekinah glory, the same that touched Moses’ face.

Ex 34:29-30 NKJV

Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses' hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.

============

UPDATE: I radically shook for several days, every time I heard the Lord speak to me. Finally the shaking began to quiet into trembling, then finally the trembles subsided into gentle waves of electricity, which is what I believe Jesus called, "virtue." (Mark 5:30) This was a process that continued over many months. The Lord explained to me that He was acclimatizing me to His anointing and Presence. (The priests who served the Lord in His temple had to be able to stand in His Presence. I Kings 8:11) His anointing had not diminished, but my physical body had become accustomed to it, and it seemed as though the anointing was also working its way deeper and deeper into my being.

WORD TO PONDER: WHEN MY ANOINTING FALLS

There are many exquisite joys when My anointing falls. Mankind has a weak frame and even in the tiniest portion of My power, he is unable to withstand. Rather than resisting in fear what you do not understand, jump in for joy and let Me touch you with My radical power. Yes, you may shake, you may tremble, you may bounce, you may roll, you may laugh hysterically one moment and cry deep sobs the next. Every moment will be filled to your capacity as you wait before Me and soak in My Presence. Feel the virtue of My power flow through your veins and out your hands. Feel your cells surge with My Presence.

I promise you, you will never be the same. From then on, My power will reside within you and it shall be like a volcano churning beneath the surface. When in close proximity to My Word, My anointing, My Spirit, you may erupt at any given moment! Set your fears aside. Relax and enjoy life, My love, let all religious mind sets and appearances burn up and be set free to become radical for Me!

"May the glory of the LORD last forever! The LORD rejoices in all he has made! The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains burst into flame at his touch. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath! May he be pleased by all these thoughts about him, for I rejoice in the LORD." (Ps 104:31-34 NLT)
