His brightness was like the illumination of the morning
sunlight with rays of sunlight splendor streaming out of His
hands, and there in that sunlight splendor was the hiding
place of His miracle-working power.
Habakkuk 3:4
As He is, so are we (that believe, trust, have faith and
confidence) in this world.
I John 4:17

INTRODUCTION
Jesus explained to me how to pray with my whole heart,
so that others would receive instant healings and miracles
every single time. This comes about through being single-
minded, in order to release and receive God’s anointing.
Unobvious demons are quite often, if not always, present
to prevent Christians from being single-minded. These
demons attempt to make you think you may not be praying
correctly, or doubt whether the person you are praying for
will be healed, or wonder what others will think about how
you are ministering. These not-so-obvious demonic
suggestions hinder God’s anointing. A double-minded
person will not receive anything from the Lord.
Jesus taught me that yielding to God is important in
receiving, and it is as simple as physically relaxing. The
word “yield” in the Greek means to relax or surrender.
Romans 6:19 teaches that as we have yielded our members
to sin (satan), we can yield our members to God’s holiness.
Holiness is God’s reputation. We can simply relax and
surrender to God’s reputation being manifested in our
mortal bodies. God has a reputation of the miraculous, and
it is easier to yield to God’s glory than it is to yield to sin,
because God is greater than satan.
I have been filled with the Holy Spirit, with the evidence
of speaking in tongues, since June 17, 1958. Since that
time, I have prayed for many people while evangelizing,
holding crusades and pastoring. I believed in healing and
miracles, but had only experienced about 5 percent results,
as years without instant manifestation passed by. With
Jesus’ explanation of how to pray with my whole heart, I
now know how to release God’s anointing, and experience
instant manifestation in about 90 percent of the people for
whom I pray.

THE VISION OF CHRIST
B
efore discussing Jesus’ teaching on how to release God’s
anointing, I must emphasize that the Scripture is the final
authority. In Psalm 138:2, God exalts and promotes His
Word above all, even above Himself. 2 Corinthians 10:5
teaches that any thought, perception, imagination,
reasoning, subject or discourse must be in obedience and
subjection to Christ. According to John 1:1,14, all
reasoning should agree with and obey the Word of God, as
Christ and the Word of God are equal terms.
Furthermore, in Matthew 15:6, Jesus said that God’s
commandments are made none effective by traditions. This
includes legends, religious customs, preconceived
intellectual practices and man-made religious teachings.
Above all, God’s Word must always be put first. Paul said
in Galatians 1:8, “But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach (teach or promote) any other gospel (than the Word
of God), let them be accursed.” Paul also said that satan
has the ability to transform himself into an angel of light.
The Vision of Christ
Visions and supernatural manifestations are to be judged
according to the Word of God, in order to avoid deception.
God’s Word must always come first. I do not exalt any type
of teaching, vision or manifestation of supernatural beings
above the Word of God. I do not, however, want to void or
belittle the sound doctrine of the visions of Jesus. John
14:21 says, “He (or she) that has My commandments and
keeps them, it is that person that loves Me and he (or she)
that loves Me shall be loved by the Father, and will
manifest Myself to them.” The Greek meaning of the word
“manifest” is to exhibit in person, appear or show.
Anyone who has read the New Testament could safely
assume that Paul loved Jesus more than any other person
loved Jesus in the New Testament, as his writings bear
proof. Also, more than any other person in the Bible, Paul
loved the Word of God. He is responsible for writing
nearly half of the New Testament through the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit.
Valuable wisdom is found in many of Paul’s experiences.
In Galatians 1:12, Paul said that he was not taught the Word
of God by man, but by revelation of Jesus Christ. In
Galatians 2:1-2, Paul, Barnabas and Titus went to
Jerusalem, but Paul went to Jerusalem by revelation.
Galatians 1:12 and 2:12 indicate that Paul went in person.
The word “revelation” in the Greek means to appear,
manifest or to be coming. In the King James Version of the
Bible, the word used is “appearing”.1
In 2 Corinthians 12:1, Paul talked about the revelations of
the Lord, and in verse 7, he had an abundance of

revelations. Again, the same root word for revelation or
appearing is used. Continually, Jesus appeared to Paul and
taught him the Word of God.
Jesus first appeared to Paul in Acts 9:4, and his life was
forever changed. Paul even changed his own name. In
verse 17, Jesus taught Paul by asking him why he
persecuted Him. In Acts 18:6-11, an upset Paul made up
his mind to change the course of his ministry, but Jesus
appeared in a night vision and encouraged him to continue
his ministry. Because of this vision, Paul continued in that
city for a year and 6 months.
Acts 22:17-21 finds Paul in Jerusalem praying at the
temple. As he prayed, he saw Jesus, Who told him to make
haste and get out of Jerusalem, quickly, for the people there
would not receive his ministry. Acts 23:11 gives yet
another account of Jesus appearing to Paul in the night,
giving him words of cheer, encouraging his ministry and
telling Paul that he would be a witness in Rome.
In Acts 27:14-22, a great storm arose as Paul was on a
ship bound for Rome. Neither the sun nor the stars
appeared for many days, and all hope that any would be
saved was lost. After a long period without food, Paul
stood up in the midst of the men on the ship and exhorted
them to be of good cheer. Acts 27:24 tells of an angel of
God who stood by Paul that night, serving him and saying,
“Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and,
lo, God hath given thee all that is with thee.” “Wherefore,
sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be
even as it was told me” (Acts 27:25).
