TOUCH NOT MINE ANNOINTED
SYNDROME
Source: http://www.availablelightonline.com/tnma.html
Many a day, whether it is via the televangelists or out of the podiums of local churches, two groups of phrases are
delivered to all who listen. The first phrase is "Judge not, lest ye be judged" from Matthew 7:1. The second phrase
is from Psalms 105:15 which states "Saying, touch not mine annointed, and do my prophets no harm." Is this what
Christians do when they question teachings from (most of the time self-proclained) "God's Anointed" evangelists and
preachers. Many who claim to have the annointing would say so, and so would their followers. To any criticisms
directed to them, whether positive or negative, their response is usually "Touch Not Mine Annointed"
From the pulpit of a well known televangelist on recorded tape.
"There are people attempting to sit in judgement right today over the ministry that I am responsible for, and the
ministry that Kenneth E. Hagin is responsible for. ... Several people that I know of called that faith bunch out of
Tulsa a cult, And some of them are dead right today in an early grave because of it, and there's more than one of
them got cancer."
From the pulpit of a local church I once attended.
"So you want to say that what I am preaching is not from God? You need to remember, "Touch Not God's Annointed".
Since I have been given responsibility for this congregation and I am the shepherd, You do not have the right to
question me. I am a child of God and I pray, talk to, and hear from God everyday. When you question me, you are
actually questioning God. Therefore, to question me is to place your self in rebellion and in opposition to God
himself. You, the congregation, know what happens when you are in rebellion. Remember 1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion
is as of the sin of witchcraft...". Therefore, If you dare to question me, you are in witchcraft, and you are to be
treated and punished the same as witches, mediums, and sorcerers, in the eyes of God..."
