The term for Oil literally meant “fat”. The oil came
from olives off the olive trees.
The olive oil was
generated by pressing and/or crushing the olive.
REVELATION; As I was pondering the making of
olive oil, I realized that Jesus was probably surrounded
my olive trees when in the garden of Gethsemane. His
very prayer was a parable and prophetic sign that when
we are hardest pressed and deeply crushed, as we
surrender to our loving Father, it brings forth His
greatest anointing to be spread and multiplied
liberally.
Luke 22:39-43 NKJV
Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was
accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 When
He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you
may not enter into temptation." 41 And He was
withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt
down and prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will,
take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will,
but Yours, be done."
According to the article in International Standard Bible
Encyclopedia, it notes these purposes for olive oil:
·
It was used as a commodity of exchange.
·
It was used as a cosmetic.
·
It was used as a medicine.
·
It was used as a food.
·
It was used as an illuminant for oil
lamps.
·
It was used to consecrate things.
·
It represented prosperity.
WOW. Just think if the above purposes for the anointing
oil as how it relates to the value of our lives for a
very needy world!!!!!!!!!!
Matt 25:1-13 NKJV
"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten
virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the
bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were
foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and
took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their
vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom
was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 "And at
midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is
coming; go out to meet him!' 7 Then all those virgins
arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said
to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil , for our lamps
are going out.' 9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No,
lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go
rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and
those who were ready went in with him to the wedding;
and the door was shut. 11 "Afterward the other virgins
came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he
answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not
know you.' 13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither
the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
IS THE ANOINTING OF GOD CATCH-ABLE?
THE ANOINTING OF GOD IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH
IMPARTATION:
Scripture says we can receive the anointing through
“impartation”. There are different kinds of
impartations.
Rom 1:11-12 NKJV
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some
spiritual gift, so that you may be established — 12
that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by
the mutual faith both of you and me.
IMPARTATION - GREEK
metadidomi
NT:3330 metadidomi (met-ad-id'-o-mee); from NT:3326 and
NT:1325; to give over, i.e. share:
KJV - give, imparticiple

1. ] IMPARTATION THROUGH LAYING ON OF HANDS
One impartation is through the laying on of hands. This
is an official symbolic act in the Old Testament and New
Testament.
LAYING ON OF HANDS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
It was an act of blessing.
Gen 48:14-15 NKJV
Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it
on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left
hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly,
for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph.
It was a ritual of sacrifice and transference of sin.
Ex 29:10-11
"You shall also have the bull brought before the
tabernacle of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall put
their hands on the head of the bull.
Lev 16:20-21
Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the
live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the
children of Israel, and all their transgressions,
concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of
the goat...
It was an act of setting apart for consecration for
service.
Num 8:10 NKJV
So you shall bring the Levites before the LORD, and
the children of Israel shall lay their hands on the
Levites;
LAYING ON OF HANDS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
It was an act to receive the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:15-19
Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that
they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had
fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on
them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 And when
Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles'
hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19 saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom
I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
Acts 19:6 NKJV
And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit
came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and
prophesied.
It was an act to impart or stir up gifts of God.
2 Tim 1:6 NKJV
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God
which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
It was an act to set apart for ministry.
Acts 13:2-3 NKJV
The Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas
and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them,
they sent them away.
It was an act to impart healing.
Mark 16:18 NKJV
...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover."
RHEMA 11/02/08 STAY FAITHFUL IN INTERCESSION
VISION: A young man from the track team came to
us and said, “I’m scared.” He showed us photos of his
track buddies on the track at various events. His event
was the pole vault, where they rapidly advance forward
with a very tall pole and then leap over a high bar,
kind of like a catapult. Grandma Anna was leaning back
into me and we were both sitting next to each other on
her couch. She was laying hands on this pole-vaulter and
he started getting radically empowered and was shaking
and vibrating all over under the power of God. I also
touched him during this and said, “May you go forth in
peace, in Jesus Name!”
Titus 1:4 NKJV
To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy,
and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
our Savior.
We are living in a time when the tangible, power of God
can be radical. I have experienced this so many times
where I am shaking and vibrating under His powerful
anointing.
I have received brand new gifts from the Lord through
other prophetic leaders laying hands on me in prayer
lines. One was the gift to pray prophetic prayers
outloud!
The second time I was on a ministry team, I peeked out
into the auditorium which was packed with about 1,200
people. My heart began to race and all I could see in my
mind’s eye were lines and lines of people in front of
me! I ran back into the prayer room and grabbed Rich’s
hand and slapped it onto my forehead. Rich was a very
special person. He had been hired to pray for the
company from which he’d tried to previously resign, due
to the Lord’s calling upon his life to pray. He is the
only intercessor I know that has the world’s salary to
pray! I had heard some of his stories of intercession
and he had my vote for sure. So dear Rich smiled at my
wide eyes and started to pray. I relaxed and received
whatever the Lord wanted to give me. It lasted less than
a minute and my prayer life changed from that moment on.
When ministry time came, the Lord filled my mouth with
prophetic prayers. People gave me all kinds of
confirmation about reading their mail and I was just
amazed. I knew exactly what I did NOT have before Rich’s
prayer! Praise the Lord for the simple gift of laying on
of hands!
2.] ANOINTING IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH TOUCHING
A lady pursued Jesus and received Jesus’ virtue to heal
her. He did not choose to give this to her, her faith
went after Jesus and her need DREW it out of Him.
Luke 8:46
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I
perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
There are times when someone accidently bumps into me in
public places. In my mind, I always say, “In the Name
of Jesus!!!” That way if the Lord wants to give
something to them, He may. And if the enemy is wanting
to dump on me, there is a standard against it. This is
a long time habit and I have seen people actually get
delivered through this simple blessing of Jesus Name.
3.] ANOINTING IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH A CORPORATE
IMPARTATION
In the case of Saul in the OT, when he mingled with the
prophets, he received the same prophetic spirit to
prophesy.
1 Sam 10:6-13 NKJV
Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and
you will prophesy with them and be turned into another
man. 7 And let it be, when these signs come to you, that
you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you. 8
You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will
come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make
sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall
wait, till I come to you and show you what you should
do." 9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go
from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all
those signs came to pass that day. 10 When they came
there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet
him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he
prophesied among them. 11 And it happened, when all who
knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among
the prophets , that the people said to one another,
"What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is
Saul also among the prophets ?" 12 Then a man from
there answered and said, "But who is their father?"
Therefore it became a proverb: "Is Saul also among the
prophets ?" 13 And when he had finished prophesying, he
went to the high place.
Often when I am in a prophetic round table meeting, or a
meeting that gathers the prophetic, there is a corporate
anointing to prophesy. The spirit of the prophets stirs
up the prophetic giftings and it is VERY easy to
prophesy and find open heaven hearing/ seeing when the
prophetic gather.
4.] ANOINTING IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH DISTANCE
The anointing can be transferred through distance by
speaking the Word. Often when I am watching a prophetic
conference on line or TV, when I hear the Word loosed, I
receive His tangible anointing wash over my soul and
body with cleansing and refreshment!
There have been times in the QW chatroom where we have
met to worship Him in one accord by all typing together,
that we have received His tangible anointing upon our
worship and praise! It has been awesome confirmation to
our gathering together and a lot of fun!
Matt 8:8-11 NKJV
The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not
worthy that You should come under my roof. But only
speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I
also am a man under authority , having soldiers under
me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to
another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do
this,' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard it, He
marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I
say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even
in Israel!
5.] ANOINTING IS TRANSFERRED STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN’S
OUTPOURING
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where
they were sitting.” (Acts 2:2 KJV)
DREAM: GLORY IMPARTED IN THE WIND
We were expecting an impartation of the Lord’s glory.
Because we knew it was going to be an impartation, I
went to Pastor thinking he might have the Lord’s glory
to impart. Pastor not knowing what I am thinking comes
to me with his hand out, saying, “you impart good.”
I immediately realized that this particular impartation
is going to come straight from the Father. So instead we
both put our hands up and looked to the Lord while I
prayed very strongly, “Lord impart to us Your glory!!!”
Then still in the dream I heard His still small voice
say, “In the wind.” I understood that this was how He
was going to impart His glory. Then as I was shaking
very strongly under the power of the Lord He asked me if
I enjoyed dancing with the children.
WORD TO PONDER SOME IMPARTATION IS STRAIGHT FROM ME
4/19/98
There are many impartations in My Spirit, and I use
laying on of hands and other means to release gifts to
My people. There is a wave of My glory coming that can
only be received directly from My own touch upon and
into your life. Place your heart to receive and open
your sails like a ship to catch My wind.
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where
they were sitting.” (Acts 2:2 KJV)
6.] IMPARTATION OF THE ANOINTING THROUGH ANOINTING
OIL
Oil that has been set aside and consecrated unto the
Lord for His purposes can be used to impart His
anointing.
Ex 30:25-32
It shall be a holy anointing oil. 26 With it you
shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of
the Testimony; 27 the table and all its utensils, the
lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; 28
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and
the laver and its base. 29 You shall consecrate them,
that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must
be holy. 30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and
consecrate them, that they may minister to Me as
priests. 31 And you shall speak to the children of
Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to
Me throughout your generations.
Isa 10:27
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.
James 5:14-16
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of
the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of
faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be
forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another,
and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much.
7.] ANOINTING IMPARTED THROUGH ANOINTED
BELONGINGS OF SERVANTS OF GOD
Jesus’ clothes
Matt 14:36
and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of
His garment. And as many as touched it were made
perfectly well.
Elijah’s mantle
2 Kings 2:14
Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen
from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the
LORD God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the
water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha
crossed over.
MOSES ROD
Ex 17:5-6
And the LORD said to Moses ,"Go on before the people,
and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also
take in your hand your rod with which you struck the
river, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there
on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and
water will come out of it, that the people may drink."
Handkerchiefs &
aprons
Acts 19:11-13
Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from
his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the
evil spirits went out of them.
Elisha’s staff
2 Kings 4:29
Then Elisha said to Gehazi, “Get ready to travel;
take my staff and go! Don’t talk to anyone along the
way. Go quickly and lay the staff on the child’s face.”
Peter’s shadow
Acts 5:15-16
As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were
brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that
Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went
by.
Elisha’s bones
2 Kings 13:21
Once when some Israelites were burying a man, they
spied a band of these raiders. So they hastily threw the
body they were burying into the tomb of Elisha. But as
soon as the body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man
revived and jumped to his feet!
I have waved glory ring and/or flags in worship and
people have experienced His tangible anointing. Twice I
witnessed people receiving deliverance in this.
The prophetic school
discussed the question, “Is the anointing catchable?”
The following link contains some wonderful responses:
