YES! Olive oil is the most common to use when anointing your home. Anointing with oil is a biblical practice that symbolizes God's presence, healing and blessing. It's also a physical act of faith and providing a physical barrier around your home to welcome in the Holy Spirit. I always explain to my kids it's like we are putting up a boundary line the enemy has no right to come near my family!
Does that sound familiar? The song Mighty Name of Jesus explains the authority and power we have over spiritual enemies through Jesus Christ! Luke 10:19
What oil do I use when anointing the home? Personally, I use an olive oil blend with Frankincense and myrrh.
Why? Not only are these biblical resins, but it held a symbolic meaning, honoring Jesus as King, Priest & sacrifice.
Frankincense - symbolizes prayer, intercession and the presence of God
Myrrh - represents purification, healing and consecration.
While any oil is able to be used, I have used anything that I had on hand. Our God is always with us (Emmanuel). Our God is a present God, a loving God, a mighty God and the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords. I just pray over the oil that I will be using, and tell God to use this oil and cleanse and purify my home.
