Anointed Preaching

Some of this might have had more to do with the culture of the NW compared to other regions. Just my experience.

The phrase "he was really anointed" seems to be more common among charismatics in my experience. Real anointing, while it probably will produce "powerful" expressiveness, will really be a factor of "the right word at the right time". Imo.

What you wrote below was a good one. Put laughter in my day, thanks.

The apostles Paul, Peter, John, et al. Also, must not forget, the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as all of the "holy prophets." It has been from these that I've learned most!

(The originator of this thread did say "anointed" preachers "from any time period," right?)

I don't know how to do the quotes thing so this is how it looks.

Well obviously the Lord Jesus was and is the most anointed Preacher in the Universe. Compared to him Ive never heard an anointed Preacher.

The sermons of Billy H. Cole always "stirred up" the Holy Ghost in me. He was truly an "anointed" preacher, evangelist, and missionary. One just doesn't find very many Apostolic Pentecostal men of God that was able to deliver the gospel message quite like he did. He may be gone to his "long home," but the memories of him and his preaching will endure long.
