I began Holy Spirit School in 2025.
This is Session 9.
In the natural realm oil is needed for movement. It is a carrier. It heals the body. It cleanses and removes irritations. It can be made into asphalt which makes a road easy to travel upon. It can be burned for light and for life-giving heat. It can also be used to change the atmosphere with a new scent. In the Old Testament it was used to consecrate kings signifying God’s authority and blessing…a sign and symbol of what was to come…
The natural realm will often reflect spiritual truth.
Yahweh, God of all, has an oil and it is His anointing. The anointing is the power of God to carry away our burdens.
“Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil because God was with Him…”(Acts 10:38). Jesus was soaked in the oil of Yahweh and filled with the Holy Spirit. If you want to know the Holy Spirit, know Jesus.
When Jesus was crucified as a sacrifice for all on the cross, He was squeezed (like a sponge) and the oil of the Holy Spirit and His breath were released to us, His church.
When you became a believer in Jesus, it was that new and beautiful scent of the oil of the Holy Spirit that invited you to believe. It was being released from a person in words or in the fruit of their lives.
NOW 2 Corinthians 1:21 speaks this truth over you: “God Himself has anointed you! He is constantly strengthening you in your union with Christ. He has identified you as His by placing the Holy Spirit in your heart”.
Jesus spoke this eternal truth, “It’s to your advantage that I go away for if I don’t go the Divine Encourager will not be released to you” (John 16:7). On Calvary’s cross the One who was filled like a sponge with the anointing oil was squeezed and the oil was released.
Every treasure of the new creation life (believer in Jesus) is maintained by the Holy Spirit.
He is our Helper to walk out the treasures: His treasure of holiness, identity as a son or daughter of God, power and authority over the world, peace, wisdom and understanding, healing, salvation in all of its magnitude….
He unites us to Christ.
The wise bridesmaids in Matthew 25:1-13 purchased the oil and lit the fire to find the Bridegroom. We purchase the oil through “secret place” (Psalm 91) prayer with Jesus. Time in His Presence, His Words, His Promises, His Voice…becoming familiar with His Glory and Grace and yielding to Him in prayer will fill you with the precious anointing oil of the Holy Spirit. It is a personal place that can only be shared between you and Jesus.
It is not having knowledge of your Savior, but experiencing Him.
To know Him intellectually holds no power. To know Him emotionally puts you on an unstable sea dictated by your feelings. To know Him spirit to Spirit in your innermost being releases His power in your life. You become ignited with a knowing and a reality of being known by Him.
Blessings,
Teresa
