DONNA: And so when he would come up onto that platform, oftentimes he’d come up with a song.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: But he knew what he was doing, because he was kind of spying out the land to see.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: what kind of demon spirits he was dealing with. But as I watched him, it was as though a cloak.
LARRY: Mm!
DONNA: an invisible cloak came on him.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: because he turned in from being an ordinary man, to this man who had an authority.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: and an anointing to lift the faith of people.
LARRY: Yeah; yeah.
DONNA: And in the middle of that service, you would see people go from faith, to faith, to faith.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: And sometimes he began with a song. He’d often have people give testimonies.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: and that would build faith in the heart of people.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: But every single time when he would preach the Word of faith.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: there would be an explosion.
LARRY: Yeah; yeah.
DONNA: you know. I saw this on T.L. Osborn. [PHOTOS BEGIN] And when I had the first t- chance to meet T.L. Osborn, he invited me he and Daisy invited me to come to Uganda with them. [PHOTOS END] And I remember sitting on the platform on AIDS night.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: when there was. [VIDEO] 250,000 people.
LARRY: Wow.
DONNA: hundreds of thousands. [VIDEO] T.L. OSBORN: BLESS THE LORD! [TRANSLATOR TRANSLATING] of people that were coming to get healed of AIDS.
LARRY: Mm.
DONNA: and the Lord let me see something in the supernatural. You know T.L. Osborn was someone like my dad who, they didn’t speak in multiple syllables; they had very.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: simple words in presenting the Gospel. But the Lord allowed me to see each word that Brother Osborn spoke had like a dewdrop.
LARRY: Wow.
DONNA: of anointing on it.
LARRY: Mm!
DONNA: and the Lord allowed me to see that going into the hearts of the people. And then all of a sudden, I felt a tidal wave of FAITH.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: almost knocked me off my seat! And I said to the man next to me, Did you feel that?.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: and he looked at me like I was crazy. But I knew what the Lord was showing me; He was showing me the power of the anointing.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: that goes like a seed into the hearts of people. [[VIDEO ENDS]] Faith comes alive, and that opens them up to the supernatural.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: And that night, I waited for 2-1/2 hours while people gave testimony of how they were SNAPS FINGERS instantly healed.
LARRY: Wow.
DONNA: from AIDS.
LARRY: W-well it’s interesting; as you’re talking about his words being cloaked in this dewdrop, I’m thinking of the words of Jesus where Jesus says, John 6:63, My words are spirit, and they are life.
DONNA: and life. Exactly.
LARRY: And I think to myself, Jesus is announcing that His words are spirit.
DONNA: Yes.
LARRY: which makes me think it’s like you’re saying it’s more than when we’re speaking; it’s more than just syllables coming together.
DONNA: Yes.
LARRY: it’s more than just words of grammar. When we’re saying what He’s saying.
DONNA: Exactly.
LARRY: about those who are in captivity, or those who are sick and demonized when we’re saying what Jesus says about those people, I believe our words actually carry presence.
DONNA: Absolutely. And Jesus actually, you know, when He came up out of the waters of baptism, and He was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: actually as Jesus taught, He went into the waters, but the waters went into Him.
LARRY: Yeah; that’s good.
DONNA: it came out of Him.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: But the first thing that He did is He went to Nazareth.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: and He began to PROCLAIM, I am the Mashiach.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: I am the One Who is anointed. The Spirit of God is on Me.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: But it’s on me for purpose.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: And sometimes I feel like we make it so complicated. We think that we’re going to, you know, walk around in this aura, or a cloud of glory.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: But really what it’s about is the mission that the Lord.
LARRY: Yes.
DONNA: sent us on. He said He sent me, to proclaim the good news.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: to the poor.
LARRY: Yeah.
