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.9295]

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.

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.

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)

[@lancemarchetti8673]

... let _him_ call on the elders.... not _"her"_

[@darnellmcgavocksr.5152]

@@lancemarchetti8673 Given scripture has ample examples of women being prayed for. Regarding illness and removal of demons, both before and after Christ ascension. Your point is moot.

[@joshuakarr-BibleMan]

​@@lancemarchetti8673 I think you might be worried he is calling her an elder, but no. Women need prayers for them too.

[@lancemarchetti8673]

@@darnellmcgavocksr.5152 Why is James using the male gender for the sick person in the verse? "let HIM call on the elders to pray..."

[@darnellmcgavocksr.5152]

@@lancemarchetti8673 The Greek term is αὐτός. It can mean either gender, or even multiple people. So, the translators of The Authorized Version, aka KJV used him. But, the Greek term αὐτός has broader context. Realize, the use of him is inclusive. Study scripture further.

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

[@chrisrogers2974]

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.

[@joshuakarr-BibleMan]

James doesn't specify any oil, just oil. Since the Jews were prohibited from using the holy annointing oil, but it was clearly a common practice to annoint themselves and one another, it stands to reason there were common oils for common annointing. Nowhere in Scripture does God open that recipe for general use. It seems like the early church would have gotten themselves stoned, or at least would have violated ths general commands to live at peace with the world, if they had used the Lord's personal recipe for annointing the sick.

[@aubriellemorgan]

Got questions doesn’t believe anything is for today. Most of their teachings on the deeper spiritual things should be ignored.

[@tuppence144]

It was used as medicine too

[@deanfry879]

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.

[@tuppence144]

Great information from Gotquestions. Bible based and TRUE

[@rickallmightyjones6189]

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

[@tam1729]

Talk about the power of the Lord.

[@Onlythenarrowroad]

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.

[@chrissysvideos]

Amen, makes sense

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.”

[@joshuakarr-BibleMan]

About 10% of the mixture, by volume, is this cane oil. I've heard your position before, and I've heard it refuted. I suppose it's possible, but if you're more than 20 or 30 years old, then you know cannabis is not naturally anywhere near as potent as modern hydroponics and selective breeding has achieved. So I suppose, is there any evidence the Israelites had access to that stuff, out in the Desert of Sin?

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.

The anointing oil Used according to the will of God. Pure olive ( Lev 24) Tabernacle.. priests.. The presence of God Kings (1 Sam) Anointed place presence Bethel ( Gen📖. after dreaming. Jacob anointed the Rock) THE spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach.. Healing pouring in oil and wine.. Luke 10.. Mary anointed the Lord (perfumed oil ) Oil of gladness Hebrews...

[@Rhema-Zone]

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.❤ Presence the anointing the Holy Spirit teaches us ❤❤❤❤❤ Kings were anointed... Rev 1 We are kings n Queens Priests were anointed 1pet 2 We are Royal priests I believe Matt 25 Oil represent Presence Power prophetic words ( meditate on the WORD) Praise Praying in the Spirit ( fan the 🔥) walking in the Spirit... Strengthen the inner man... 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 💡✨⏰
