Anthony Wade Ministries

by Anthony N. Wade

During a time of leading worship at a local church, I experienced one of the most amazing phenomenas of my life. First I must back up. I served as an associate pastor/worship leader at a church in central Ohio. This assignment came as a result of being a guest minister at the church. The local assembly had been challenged by it’s leadership to make some changes. I was one of those changes. My duties, as an associate pastor, included counseling, and helping others, as was delegated to me by the pastor. One of the delegations was leading the worship during the church services. The team of worshipers would rehearse on Thursday nights and again on Sunday mornings. The Sunday morning rehearsals were necessary in the event of last minute changes.

What happened to me was something I never expected. The team was taking it’s place on the platform. The piano player began playing music as we took our place. As the piano player played a certain chord progression, I was supposed to begin leading the first song. However, I was not there! Yes, I know that naturally I was there, but I am speaking spiritually. This is what I mean. I was suspended in place. I could not move. I was in a trance, with all my physical attributes intact. (Numbers 24:16; Acts 10:10)

I was frozen in place so to speak. One might ask, “If I wasn’t there, where was I?” Well, In the Tabernacle of Moses there were three compartments. There was “The Outer Court”, “The Holy Place”, and “The Holy of Holies”, also known as “The Most Holy Place.” I was in The Heavenly “Holy of Holies” at the outset of this worship experience. I was very much aware of what was going on around me, but I wasn’t there! (See Exodus 26 and 27.) There were team members calling my name, wondering why I had not started to sing. The best way I can explain what I experienced, can be found in the Bible with the Apostle Paul’s experience.

2 Corinthians 12:1-7 (KJV)

{1} It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

{2} I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

{3} And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

{4} How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

{5} Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

{6} For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

I have not had another experience like this ever again. Of course I am willing and ready, but these things are as the Spirit wills (1 Corinthians 12:6,11).

It was during a period of time when I was pastoring. If my memory serves me correctly a group of us where having a community service being held in our home town. I was the keynote speaker of this meeting. After my message I had a prayer line. I made a call for those who wanted to be “Born-again,” filled with “The Holy Ghost,” and “Healing.” Sister R.S. came up for healing. During my time of praying for her, I received a “Word of Knowledge” and a “Word of Wisdom.”

1 Corinthians 12:8

{8} For to one is given by the Spirit, The Word of Wisdom; to another, The Word of Knowledge by the same Spirit.

As I ministered to our sister I spoke of an experience she would have. I also shared with her that she would have victory during this time, and what she should do to insure that victory. A few days past after the meeting and we received news that Sister R.S.’s husband tried to commit suicide. He shot himself in the chest with a 22 caliber pistol. What was so amazing about this was the circumstances around this story. Sister R.S.’s husband had a pacemaker put in his chest some time previous to the meeting. The pacemaker kept the bullet from penetrating his heart and his life was spared. It was “The Word of Knowledge and “The Word of Wisdom,” that sustained Sister R.S. How? Because she had news before it happen.

It was a Wednesday evening service at a church in Nelsonville, OH. I was in my normal mode of operation as a guest speaker. I was introduced by the pastor and sang a couple of songs to prepare the congregation for the ministry of the Word of God. Suddenly, during the teaching of the Word, I was interrupted by “The Holy Ghost” with “Words of Knowledge”
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

For me, the “Word of Knowledge” works by hearing “The Holy Ghost” whisper something to me. It comes as a suggestion, thought, or idea. It also comes to me as an “Inward Intuition.” The inward intuition is an inward knowing of a need, or needs in the congregation. The Word of Knowledge also comes to me by physically feeling specific symptoms of the members in the congregation.

During this meeting, there were two outstanding words that came to me. The first one was concerning couples having difficulty in their marriage. I called it out and asked the couples to stand. One couple stood and I was directed by “The Holy Ghost” to pray for them through the “Laying on of Hands” (Hebrews 6:1-2). As I prayed, there was a release in them and me as well. I knew on the inside of me that God had met their need.

The next thing that I encountered has never happened to me again since this particular meeting. I sensed a “hot flash.” This feeling stayed with me for a while, so I called it out. Sure enough there were several women who had been experiencing “hot flashes.” I had the women stand, and then come to the front to be prayed for. As they came forward I explained what I was experiencing. During my explanation one of the ladies interrupted me by exclaiming, “you probably felt it.” I let her know she was correct. Afterwards, I prayed for them with the laying on of hands. There was a transference of power released from my hands into their bodies. As far as I was concerned they all received what they were looking for from God.

It was the State of Florida. I was once again doing a series of meetings. My normal mode of ministry is to sing two or three songs to set the atmosphere for the ‘Ministry of the Word.’ It is peppered with ‘Words of Knowledge,’ ‘Personal Prophesy;’ as well as ‘Demonstrations of The Holy Ghost’ (Hebrews 2:4).

As I was teaching ‘The Word,’ I could tell that the atmosphere was charged with an ‘Outstanding Presence.’ During the teaching the congregation was really with me. They were very expectant of a move of God. As I continued teaching, it was as if I was in a cubical. The only way I can explain it is this cubiform was full of ‘God’s Glory’ — ‘His Presence.’ It sure made my job easy that evening, as I just followed the leading of ‘The Holy Ghost.’ While sharing the message I was very sensitive to ‘The Holy Spirit.’ I didn’t want to do anything that would grieve Him, and cause Him to depart (Ephesians 4:30).

As previously stated, I was in a cubical of ‘God’s Glory.’ Sometime in the midst of this, I felt someone touch my right hip. There was no one physically close to me so I knew it was ‘The Holy Spirit’ speaking to me. After I felt someone touch my right hip, I responded with a ‘Word of Knowledge’
(1 Corinthians 12:8).

I knew that someone in the congregation was having trouble with their right hip. So I called it out to the congregation. I simply asked, “Is there anyone here having trouble with your right hip?” Sure enough, there was a woman sitting in the congregation to my right with a hinderance in her right hip. I had a woman lay hands on her, in her hip area, as I prayed (Mark 16:18; Hebrews 6:2). The woman felt the ‘Power of God’ go into her hip and was immediately healed.

Many other things happened during this series of meetings, but nothing as phenomenal as what I am about to tell you. A man came up to me at the close of the service, and asked to talk with me. I granted him the freedom to speak. He at once began telling me that he saw my angel. He said the angel would bend over and whisper something in my ear, and then I would speak it out. He went on to tell me that my angel was huge in stature. He was not a little fellow, but he stood several feet tall. This is my explanation, to why I had the feeling in my right hip. My angel tapped me in my right hip, and I just called it out.

There are over 250 references in the Bible to the ministry of angels. No, they are not little fat babies with wings as some artists have portrayed. They have a valid ministry to you and me, if only we would believe (Hebrews 1:14 NIV).

Hebrews 13:2 The Living Bible

{2} Don’t forget to be kind to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
