Bible Base: Acts 10:38.

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38 NLT.

It is so sad that many of us idolize the anointing oil,  exalting it above the name of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says in Acts 4:12

 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved …”

If your need is salvation, Jesus Christ is the answer.

Again in Philippians, Bible states:

 “…God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, that at the mention of the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father …See Philippians 2:9-11.

 Jesus Christ is the Savior  healer, deliverer, prosperer, etc, and not the anointing oil, handkerchief or other mantles.

Mantles and anointing oil were necessary in the Old Testament days because the Holy Spirit was not resident  in Humans then. 

But when Christ came,  He was Anointed and consecrated for service. And the Christian receives that same Holy Spirit’s anointing for service. 

The Believer is Anointed already.  You don’t need the oil. 

Besides, there are consequences for anyone who compounds any like the one God ordered in the Old Testament (Exodus 39:32-34) 

Please hold fast your confessions of faith, and refuse to allow anyone’s denominational beliefs in the doctrines of anointing oil, to frustrate your faith in Christ.

Let us Pray:

Thank you Father for anointing us with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that like Jesu Christ, we can go about doing good by healing the sick, raising the dead, and delivering those oppressed by the devil.

We admit that in ignorance, we idolized the anointing oil, holy water, and other mantles.

We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness, and I….( your name) affirm that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. 

I hereby cast down all imaginations, doctrines, beliefs,  etc., that exalts itself above the name of Jesus Christ. 

Thank You Father for calling, choosing and anointing me to be the light and salt in this world.

Thanks also for the authority and power that is mine by faith in Christ Jesus.

By the Authority invested in me, I armor up and go about doing good, in the matchless name Jesus Christ. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D.  #theSpiritualWarrior , September 9th 2024
