Why Do We Anoint with Oil?

Anointing the sick with oil has been practiced for millennia. Have you ever wondered why? I did. Turns out it's a very important part of our healing tool kit.

Consult the Author

God intends for you to read His Word. The fact that we have a book written by God to reveal Himself to us is truly marvelous. Even more remarkable is the presence of His Spirit within us, helping us grasp the message. We have a great advantage.

Praying Over the Sick

In our modern western church, the practice of praying over the sick in a persistent, corporate manner seems almost lost. When James said "pray over" the sick, I think he had much more in mind that what we see in most church services. God wants us healed. Let's follow His instructions.

He is Here!

Jesus promised that when we gather in unity as His people, He will always show up, and that in those moments, our corporate prayers would have a multiplied impact. When we gather to worship Him, His Presence is in our midst. It’s a fact. He promised.

Inside Information

The Holy Spirit lives inside every believer. If you believe that, then pay attention to what's going on where your spirit interfaces with the Eternal One. You have an advantage!

¡Tenemos una gran ventaja!

Puedes estar seguro de que el Espíritu que está contigo hará exactamente lo que haría Jesús si estuviera físicamente presente. Él quiere que tengas éxito en lo que te ha pedido que hagas. Lo desea más que tú mismo. En cada situación a la que te enfrentes, cuentas con una ventaja enorme.

We Have an Advantage

You can be confident that the Spirit who is with you will do exactly what Jesus would do if He were physically present. He wants you to succeed in what He has asked you to do. He wants it more than you do. In every situation you encounter, you have a very unfair advantage.

Let His Enemies be Scattered

God is present everywhere at all times. Thankfully, wherever you are, the Holy Spirit is with you whether you feel anything or not. There are also times when He makes Himself tangibly known. We need that, too.

Guardrails for Guidance: Only Buy the Real thing

Be sure to test out your revelations before you palm them off on somebody else as being from God. If you do miss it, be willing to admit it. It will give you more credibility, not less. There’s no hurry, we have all eternity, and a God who knows the end from the beginning.

Life is Draining: Stay Tanked Up

Have you ever felt like life has drained you of your spiritual vigor, like you don’t have enough faith to face the things that are coming at you? Most of us have. Fortunately, the Bible shows us how we can stay tanked up, ready to quench fiery darts and move mountains.
