Prophecy re-thinking?

Brother Bassett, please allow me to briefly say somethng about annointing. I totaly
agree with you that annointing should not be used to gauge someone's position anymore 
than the Gifts of the Spirit should be used to gauge someone's walk with GOd-( after 
they have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the inital sign of speaking in 
tongues). I believe it should be the ---- Fruits of the Spirit---.
   Over the past 24 years I have saw God use people in the Gifts that were living less 
than a Christian life. Certainly not to diminish the value of the Gifts in anyway. 
  In another case I personaly knew a former pastor that I had won to the Lord many years 
prior, who in the words from his own lips told me that he had been sexualy involved with 
one of his members for over a year, still preaching and pastoring, and the Holy Ghost 
still annointing his sermons.
   I believe God can reach a man through most any means. He will annoint his word but 
that doesn't always mean he is annointing the speaker, Saul is a good example of this, 
if I recall correctly he prophised when he was in a less than Godly condition.
   I hope I havn't aired any dirty laundry, but again annointing should - 
-in my opinion- not be used as a measuring stick with Bible teaching or preaching. Just 
a layman's view point.     Roger Evans
