Our Guest Donna Schambach
LARRY: In the next segment we’ll talk about using spiritual authority which every Believer in Christ has but what does it mean to minister out of the anointing? How do you recognize the presence of the anointing when God is moving powerfully, in a meeting, in a room? What have you seen, and h-how have you navigated that?
DONNA: I really appreciate the question, because I’ve I had to learn it when I joined my dad in ministry 25 years ago.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: I started out as an. educator.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: and so I was really good at putting together a sermon or a lesson plan. [photo ends] But when we went into those tents, you were confronted with REAL NEEDS.
LARRY: Come on.
DONNA: people who needed a miracle.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: And so, it began by watching my dad. You know, when we’d walk under those tents, you could almost feel a cloud of oppression.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: You could feel it weighing the people down.
LARRY: Mm.
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. 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 the. And I remember sitting on the platform on AIDS night.
LARRY: Yeah.
DONNA: when there was. 250,000 people.
LARRY: Wow.
DONNA: hundreds of thousands. T.L. OSBORN: BLESS THE LORD! 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.
