Angels Appointed by G3D
 "Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians" (Exod. 14:24).
In this verse, our Lord is described as a pillar of fire by day and a cloud by night. There are times while preaching that this same pillar of fire comes and anoints you with his power. Could it be an angel of the Lord gives us the power to preach the good news of Jesus Christ?
There is a connection between the anointing and the Angel of the Lord. Many say that the Angel of the Lord recorded in the Old Testament was Jesus Christ Himself. Old Testament references that capitalize the word "Angel" could be referring to Jesus Christ. At other times it is thought that Jesus appeared and spoke as a man (Gen. 18:2-22; 32:24-30; Josh. 5:13-15). Any reference that does not capitalize "angel" could be referring to one of the other angels of God.
There are many passages in which the expression "Angel of God" is certainly used for a manifestation of God himself (Gen. 22:11; Exod. 3:2). Those who believe in Jesus Christ have His Spirit living within them; therefore, the same pillar of fire could manifest itself today through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy'" (Rev. 19:10).
The first time I preached and prophesied in a church was in February of 1988. After preaching under the anointing of the Lord, and prophesying in the spirit of prophecy, several people came to me to ask questions. One dear woman did not have a question, but rather wanted to share with me that she had heard and seen during the meeting. Now, this lady was by no means spiritually minded, and she really doubted whether the gifts of the Holy Spirit were for today. When I saw her come towards me, I began to prepare myself for a good tongue-lashing.
To my surprise, she was crying and a bit shaken. I asked her what was wrong. She replied that while I was prophesying, the Lord spoke to her and gave her a sign. I was pleased to hear that she had heard the voice of the Lord! I was even more stunned, however, to hear what she had seen as a sign from God. This dear lady was told by the Lord to tell me that every word that was spoken was protected and that not one word would touch the ground. I was ready to do the Holy Ghost dance right then and there, but that was not all she had to say.
A sign of the Lord was shown to her while I was ministering. Every time I moved away from the pulpit; a bright light would blind her eyes until I stood still. She told me it appeared as if the light was hiding behind me. This sign was given to her from God as her confirmation that she was to give me the word that He wanted me to hear. I did not know at that time how important that word would be to me later that day.
When I finally returned home and had lain down to rest, the anointing left me. As soon as the anointing left, the devil began whispering words of doubt and confusion. He told me I needed to get up and call various people I had prophesied over. He was telling me that the words I delivered were incorrect.
He continued to torment my thoughts, trying to convince me I had messed up someone's life and that they would perish because of what I had spoken over them. This went on for a few minutes. Then the Holy
