I've known moments of such anointings, it's really hard even to describe those moments. I've known moments when I've not only felt the presence of God, I've smelled the presence of God. (Benny Hinn in Honolulu - 2-28-97)
The anointing comes in every shape and type today but the majority of them cannot be found in the Scriptures. Let's take a tour at the most popular usage's (sic) of the anointing.
A swimming anointing --- "Ezekiel 47 says clearly that though the waters will go high that you will have to swim in them. There is such a thing as swimming in the anointing. You can no longer walk in it, there is so much of it you have to swim in it. So Jesus, we are ready to go swimming tonight." (Benny Hinn in Honolulu Blaisdale Crusade - 2/28/97) It was so hot in the Arena that they perspired enough and thought it was the Holy Spirit.
The hurricane anointing --- This anointing can blow you away.Hinn says "The anointing was just as strong as it was in Denver one man Nevell Mcdonald who has a church here was holding onto the pole. Gods power was so strong he could not, he was holding onto a big steel pole on the platform." (TBN with Paul and Jan Crouch Sept. 13 1999)
A TV Anointing --- Hinn described on the Larry King show how he had a terrible cold and watched himself on the TV. On the TV tape he said, "Stretch your hands!"

I went over and put my hands on the screen and yes I got healed."

A Fearing the Anointing --- " Do you know saints under the, please understand this, your looking at me now wearing this sitting wearing this suite. I am not the same man under the anointing that I am now. (Paul Crouch: "True") I mean I'm, I believe me when I tell I you do not even identify with the Benny Hinn you see on television. Because it's a different man. Its not me. My children are afraid of me under the anointing. What they do not know is that I'm afraid of the anointing too." (laughter) Paul Crouch, "True, No, true!" I'm not afraid of myself I'm afraid of what the anointing can do to me if I mistreat it. "(TBN with Paul and Jan Crouch Sept. 13, 1999)

Anointed Handkerchiefs --- Rod Parsley cuts up prayer clothes to heal by laying hands on them and literally transfers and releases the tangible anointing.

Anointed numbers (and a Boaz anointing) ---"The reason I'm praying for 70 is that number is a anointing number under Moses, And God said whoever the 70 people are that respect your mantle, that respect your anointing, Moses, every time I bless you I'll bless them. What I'm asking God to do is every time He blesses Mike Murdock he blesses you, every time he gives me a financial idea he gives you one. Every time he silences the Devil for me he'll silences an enemy for you. Every time God heals my son he heals yours. That's a Boaz anointing, the anointing you respect is the anointing that grows in your life."
