Can the Power/Anointing of God Rest on an Object?
During the days of the early Church, articles that Paul touched, like handkerchiefs and aprons, “were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them” (Acts 19:11-12). It was the same thing with Peter’s shadow (Acts 5:15-16). These things had the anointing of God on them and thus physically or mentally ill people exposed to them were healed and demons fled! A good example from the Old Testament would be the power of God on Elisha’s bones, which resurrected a dead man (2 Kings 13:20-21).
There’s no reason that this principle wouldn’t apply today, assuming that the man/woman of God in question is genuinely anointed of the LORD. Keep in mind, however, that, just because someone may be anointed of God, it doesn’t mean that they’re perfect in doctrine or practice.
