What does the Bible say about anointing oil? | GotQuestions.org

What is the purpose of anointing oil? Should Christians use anointing oil today? In this video we answer your question: What does the Bible say about anointing oil?

[j.p.]

My experience was, that I asked Lord if Anoiting Oil works or is just for the show because i was on Christian event and they were to anoint us with the oil. Lord showed me .
I had anoiting with oil that evening on this event and it worked miraculously for me . Spiritualy it made me totaly different. Next day at work, with special needs children, LORD was totaly in control .
Fantastic experience, that benefited all who were in that work place, expecially children. Wow . It looks totaly natural and yet is fully suppetnatural. If somebody is amazing is certainly our God .

[j.p.]

To me anointing of God, is spiritual experience where His will and power is at work . It's like driving or sitting in an ambulance car with siren on, all the cars on a busy road are moving to the side making space for ambulance to pass thrue . Like that is in spiritual realms, all strongholds and what not are removed in a way for God's anointing
to do what He intended to do . It is such a privilege to be a part of what God is doing.

Without question, elders should pray for the sick with oil. Scripture is clear, not cosmopolitan.

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
(James 5:14, KJV)

I was listening to the bible project podcast about the anointing oil few months back and they really go into depth on this topic, which i highly recommend.

[chrisrogers]

What about James 5:14-15? How can you say, "There is nothing in Scripture that commands or suggests that we should use similar oil today"? I agree that is not the specific Old Testament recipe, but the command for Elders to amount seems abundantly clear to me. I look forward to your thoughts.

I have made my own using the Old Testament instructions. I use it for cleansing myself and for anointing others as we pray 🤲

If the oil becomes the focal point, then it shouldn’t be used. Humans have the tendency to put the emphasis on the tool (in this scenario the oil), rather than the tool maker (God). There is nothing “magical” about it and there are people that can lose sight of its intentions and what it is used for. Practice gaining discernment and not be too legalistic about performing.

Annointing with oil is not that dramatic an act. I think there are many who make it out to be more than it is. On the other hand, the Church missed a great opportunity to show the Lord's great care by making so little use of it, in the way James talks about it with prayer, during COVID.

Amen GQ 🙂🙏✝️ I think it was a very balanced approach you took and all Bible based. Love it!

Great information from Gotquestions. Bible based and TRUE

Matt 6:17 the oil in reference here is to do with looking fresh and not parading your suffering when fasting as the religious do, by covering oneself with sackcloth and ashes. The oil here referred to is also associated with fragrance oil so that your fast is between you and God, not a show of piety. It’s not to do with Anointing oil as done in the Old Testament.

Many probably haven’t heard the debate but “Holy anointing oil, as described in the original Hebrew version of the recipe in Exodus (30:22-23), contained over six pounds of kaneh-bosem, a substance identified by respected etymologists, linguists, anthropologists, botanists and other researchers as cannabis, extracted into about six quarts of olive oil, along with a variety of other fragrant herbs. The ancient anointed ones were literally drenched in this potent mixture.”

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Where do you suppose all the kids went too Lampwick Pinocchio from Pinocchio. Those words from that title character in that movie brethren sound a lot like what we read in 1 John 2:19 its a curious and funny thing how God sometimes will use movies out of the entertainment industry to open someone's eyes to what is written in the Bible like He used the words of that fox from that same movie to open up what is written in Daniel 12:10 about the wicked doing wickedly.

Oil for the light

What does the oil in the lamp symbolize?
The Lord commanded the children of Israel anciently to use “pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually” (Leviticus 24:2). According to The Guide to the Scriptures, olive oil is a symbol of purity and of the presence and influence of the Holy Ghost.❤

Constant fellowship
I believe
Righteousness
Holiness
Purity perfection

❤ Abide
Praying in the Spirit= oil 💡✨⏰
