First, to understand why anointing oil is used in the Bible, you must consider the context from which it was written. You have to think “Hebraically.”
The way the Hebrew culture thought and saw the world around them was much different than our view today.
How the Jewish people viewed their world…
An essential key to understanding their world was this: Everything they experienced and believed was related to God. There was no separation or distinction between the “physical” and “spiritual” life, unlike Greek theology—which has greatly impacted how the Western culture views God and the Bible.
Therefore, you can begin to understand why using spiritual tools, such as anointing oil, to break the yoke of sin in your life is so powerful.
God never intended humanity to think of Him or His instruction in terms of theories or ideas, but rather real, experiential, and applicable.
Now then, let’s take the spiritual tool of anointing oil and look at how we can practically experience God’s Word, breaking free from the yoke of sin and moving into new faith levels.
