Is anointing oil biblical or scriptural?

Such questions have been posed by a large number of people. Others propose that churches nowadays are no longer focused on preaching the word of God. And all they do is smear oil on people.

When you don't know or understand something, you don't always have to beat yourself up about it. God necessitates knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

That’s why the Bible in the book of Hosea says, "My people perish because they lack knowledge." God said that because he was aware of his people's reliance on their own observations and understanding.

His people don’t have a desire to learn, and that leads them astray. It is important to read the word of God before you perish for lack of knowledge.

People go astray these days because they judge and criticize without reading the word of God with understanding. Let us not make assumptions, but rather be accurate and informative when it comes to God's Word. You don’t have an excuse to fail into confusion. Listen, you have a Bible. You cannot be deceived or led astray by the Bible.

We have oil and anointing oil. The distinction between anointing oil and oil is that oil is used to cook, whereas anointing oil is frequently used as a symbol for the Holy Spirit. It was only used to anoint the high priest (Exodus 29:29) and the king of Israel in the Old Testament.

If you go through the Bible, you’ll realize that there are many scriptures that talk about anointing oil. Samuel was appointed by God to anoint Saul as King, and David was anointed as King by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13).

In the new testament, it is in connection with healing for those who believed in response to the prayer of faith. Is anyone 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, according to James 5:14.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
