In order to gain the maximum benefit from a CD, you must listen to it with a vision of eventually receiving an impartation of the anointing. Listen to the same CD several times. In my experience, this is different from listening to many different tapes of the same minister.
At different levels of receptivity you progress in the impact of the Word of God on you, your ability to reproduce the message, and you learn how to preach and teach in the same anointed manner.
