When i was a teenager I used to watch horror movies which invited demons and evil spirits into my life. I had sleep paralysis every night and was pretty much haunted by demons every day. My neighbor told me to anoint my house, room, bed with oil and pray over it all. After i did that, i was not visited by evil spirits again. Thank you Jesus!

My friend had a dream of me being anointed not physically anointed but there was a light all around me and I was in my school uniform and I had a bible in my hand.Then they told me that I have been anointed and I was convicted by the holy spirit to spread his word since 27th of July but I started on the 4/5th of August and she had that dream yesterday.This is like the second time she is dreaming of me, the first one was very vivid, the only thing she saw was a bright light with my head, then the second time it was clear.
May God's will on Earth be done in me, I may be 14 but the bible doesnt have a age limit, no matter what age you are God wants to you as a vessel so that you can be the light and the salt of the earth.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
God bless you my brothers and sisters in Christ❤

I don't know if the creators will see this comment. But they can't imagine how there work, brought me back from the edge. They helped me and thus helped my wife and kids. I started my own podcast ( I will not name, out of RESPECT for this team) and I have provided guidance to SOOO many, this so have the Bible project. My story may not be unique but from my prospective. " In order to find who "I am" on the inside, I had to let go of all "That I am" from my days of my past. 😊

I burst out laughing and crying tears of joy at 1:34 . I understood the words before they were said and I felt the Spirit move in my heart. Praise be the Anointed King! Praise be the Anointed Servant!






Edit: It has now been 7 months since first watching this video. I still vividly remember this moment and I cherish it among the greatest treasures of my life. For the record: I was enjoying the video no more or less than the other great works on this channel. However, I was mute and fatigued from a long day at work. I was not speaking nor was I particularly moved to emotionally respond. It is only now that I realize this: He gave me not only the words (to speak aloud) and the tears (to weep with joy). He stood me on my feet. He gave me energy and fuel that I might praise Him. The Holy Spirit bid me speak and bid me to stand and worship. Gladly I did so. But now I ponder...why? Perhaps He intended me to witness and write my earlier comment so that the sheep of the flock may wonder? Or perhaps He even bid me to return to this comment in due time and remind me of who is my Lord? Maybe it was to sway the heart of an unbeliever? Maybe all of these? Or maybe Our Father just wanted to make me laugh?

How great is our God? Tears yet again flow.

How the visual of the anointing flowing from Jesus to us from one another was so powerful and beautiful. Love the way is displayed our unity with each other in Him!

This is so beautiful! There were times when I would be touched by the Holy Spirit, and I could literally feel something like oil dripping down from the top of head and touching my heart. And every time it has happened I think of that verse that says “For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting.”(Psalm 133:2-3) It feels exactly like that, and God blesses us with His presence, love, grace, and peace.

I received His Spirit, was baptized in the only Name, Jesus and spoke in tongues! It is amazing!
He is still filling with His Spirit!
Acts 2:38-39

Amazing narration of the purpose of the annointing oil, this is very beneficial to us, Halleljah. Also I can tell the the person speaking is Morgan Harper Nichols. She's made to read God's word. Halleluyah for her and every one that played a part in this episode.
