    Question Touch not Mine Anointed

    God says in 1 Chronicles 16:22, "touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm." (KJV)

    I have done my best to obey the commandment of the Lord concerning this. When I felt I missed it, I confessed, and asked the Lord to forgive me.

    But it's amazing how many believers don't take this commandment seriously. As if there are no consequences, good or bad, as to the words coming forth from our mouth. I believe it's a serious matter to God and I thought I'd share the following video.

    Let me say that I believe God has appointed those whom He called to be "watchmen", but He certainly did not call ALL of us or even the majority of us. JS

    I pray we keep this civil and scripture based. This thread is for discussing the interpretation of 1 Chronicles 16:22, NOT to bash preachers.



    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    I think it's misused and used by preachers so they won't be held accountable. And I suppose that who is 'anointed' is in the eye of the beholder.

    Not to mention I think it's taken out of context. It means no physical harm in it's context and I think speaks directly of God's anointed kings, etc, in the context of the OT. It doesn't mean you can't say something that's true about a preacher. David himself even spoke out against Saul.

    I definitely do not think it is meant how it's predominately used in the church today.

    ???


    I do know where the Scripture says that He continued to walk in honor towards Saul, referring to him as the Lord's Anointed.

    See...

    1 Samuel 24

    1 Samuel 26

    2 Samuel 1

    It would be ludicrous to think that God was saying to touch not means physically only. That would be a total ignoring of the scriptures that tell us to honor our leaders. However, the meaning broadens when you consider that all of God's people are God's anointed.

    I wonder tho... which WOULD be more honoring (and recognized by God as well)...a heart that's truly honoring towards our brothers and sisters (and towards leadership as well) or basically lip service and not cultivating an Absalom spirit (hey, I'm NOT dissing them verbally and causing others to be offended, right? but inwardly I'm not on board with anything they say or do)

    1 Samuel 26 is one example. David takes a guy to task for not physically protecting Saul, 'the Lord's anointed' (which really is a direct reference to the king, not a general reference to someone being anointed per se like we like to use it), then turns around an publicly calls out Saul for chasing him without cause (verbal). Not touching the Lord's anointed is taken hugely out of context with the way it is used today.

    Which verses are they where David "publicly calls out Saul"?

    There has to be balance in all this

    I recognise Benny Hinn as an anointed evangelist called to heal and powerfully used by God
    He also has said PUBLICALLY some really unbiblical and dumb things.

    IMO the key revolves around the state of your heart....We should not speak evil and personally vilify but address the error being taught

    As believers it is not wrong to disagree with Hinn and call him out when things he has said are foolish
    Example..... Benny said he had a revelation that there were 9 parts to the Godhead. From memory he was eventually challenged but to give him credit he repented of that error

    Should believers be afraid to not challenge the bad teaching because he is God's anointed??????

    Alot of evil has occurred within churches because some leaders have used those verses to silence critics when they were challenged with unbiblical practices

    The key revolves around the attitude of your heart

    I can remember in 1997 being at a pastors meeting and listening to one of the premier evangelists speak and everyone admired his success.
    God gave me a vision while he was preaching of him having a big fall

    I knew the vast majority of believers and pastors would reject what God showed because who was I to dare question this great ministry

    I kept it to myself and told only a few trusted people. I never felt God wanted me to privately speak to him because he had too much pride

    In 2001 he was publically exposed and had a huge fall


    God also gave me a dream about one of our biggest ministers, warning me not to listen to him regarding certain teaching....1 week later he came out with a book about that very topic. I had no idea he was writing a book about that topic yet many just accept everything he says and bought the book


    Even the most anointed ministers are still human and make bad choices....we have to show grace and be merciful but doesn't mean we blindly swallow everything they say

    Was Peter anointed? Paul had no problem calling him on his hypocrisy.
