Bible Texts:
James 5:14-15 KJV
14 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.
Did you notice the
kind of oil, the elders of the church used?
You couldn't
notice, because it is not stated, and the reason it is not stated, is
that it is not the oil that heals, it is the prayer of faith
to The Risen Savior, that heals.
Oil, is a Biblical
type of God The Holy Spirit, and of course healing is one of His
gifts.
Yet once again it
is the prayer of faith, to The Lord, that brings about healing.
Many times in our
New Testament, people were healed, and no oil was used and at
other times it was.
Luke 6:19 KJV
And the whole multitude sought to
touch Him: for there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
Mark 6:13 KJV
And they cast out many devils, and
anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
The moment we place
any emphasis upon an object, (such as anointing oil), we take the
emphasis off Jesus, the only One, that is to be held in highest
esteem, and worship.

Does it matter what kind of oil you
use, if you use oil in anointing the sick? No. Many use olive oil
from the Holy Land, but again, the emphasis is “not,” on the oil.
The Oil speaks of the fact that God The Holy Spirit is present to
administer healing in the name of Jesus Christ, The Healer.

forever. Alleluia!
