Get Lubricated

Thank God for Oil! Oil lubricates and makes light, fire and power. Without it we’d be all seized up. The pancakes would be stuck to the pan and the car in the driveway. There would be no movement of motorcycles, boats, trains or planes. The world runs on various forms of oil, and oil is the primary way to overcome friction so we can have fun and go fast!

Do you have any friction in your life? Do you deal with irritation, agitation and feeling like you’ve been rubbed the wrong way? Do you find your self getting easily angry, hot and offended? You need oil and God’s got it! Even more specifically He is it. Many modern oils promise the miraculous but He is the Miraculous. His Spirit is His very own supernatural substance and the kingdom of God runs on His Oil. His presence lights the whole of heaven, fills us with His fire and manifests His freedom. His Holy Oil lubricates us so that we can live in His Love. It’s the Oil of joy and gladness, greater than all gloom and doom. It sets us free to be all we were called to be; so empowered by oil of the Almighty!

Abide in the Oil, friction to foil, enjoy life and gather the spoil!

Ps 23:5-6
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
NKJV

Ps 45:7
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

10 But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.

27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
NKJV

Jer 31:12-14
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
Streaming to the goodness of the Lord —
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden,
And they shall sorrow no more at all.

13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord."
NKJV

Luke 4:18-19
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." …
…. Isa 61:2-3
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
NKJV

2 Cor 1:21
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
NKJV

1 John 2:27
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
NKJV
