As we consider the anointing and ultimately the coming together of the Word and the Spirit, we will focus on three biblical characters: King Saul, whom I see as a type of yesterday’s man (or anointing); the prophet Samuel, a symbol representing today’s man; and David, an example of tomorrow’s man. The book consequently is in three parts: Yesterday’s Anointing, Today’s Anointing, and Tomorrow’s Anointing. It is my belief that tomorrow’s anointing will result in the long-awaited combination, prophesied by Smith-Wigglesworth in 1947, of the Word and Spirit. I long for that day.
