The olive tree!

The use of oil is more common in Eastern lands, than it is with us! The olive tree is one of the typical tress of Palestine. It is a wonderful tree. It's leaves is lustrous and seems always as if it had been bathed in the oil of its own olive tree. The tree itself seems almost intractable. It usually crooked gnarled twisted, and almost torn to pieces. Nearly every tree is hollow, and often you see the larger part of the trunk apparently torn away, with perhaps a single root adhering to the soil; but above it raises a luxuriant mass of boughs and foliage seeming to be imbued with imperishable freshness. Some of the olives of Gethsemane must be at least a thousand years old! Indeed the olive tree seems as if if it could scarcely die!

It is a good 'type' of the Holy Spirit and the soul anointed with His life and power. He exposed to all trials of time, but filled with the elixir of imperishable life, its leaves are always green, and it shall not cease  from yielding fruit even in the parched land and the most inhospitable climate!

The Holy anointed oil 1...

The holy anointing oil compounded any like it, it’s holy, it’s pure, and it shall be holy unto you!

Moreover the L-rd spake unto Moses, saying, Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh (1) five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon (2) half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus (3) two hundred and fifty shekels,  And of cassia (4) five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:  And thou shall make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. (Exodus 30:22-25)

The ingredients in the anointing oil explained!

There is so much to reveal about the Holy Anointing Oil in Exodus 30:22-33. What is the purpose of the Holy Anointing Oil?  Although, I will not claim to have any authority of accuracy, I simply would like to share the information I have acquired through many years of research and prayer. May the Holy Spirit {Roach HaKodesh} reveal the truth in your heart as well! The anointing oil was specially prepared. Ingredients were added, chiefly perfumes, making is exquisitely, so that it not only was visible to the eyes, but expressed a very sense of smell, the sweetest suggestions of the Divine presence, of which the fragrance was always a peculiar sign! As the oil was fragrance and sweet, so the Holy Spirit brings to us the very sweetness of Heaven!

Five Commands-The Holy Anointing Oil 

1. Make holy anointing oil of: pure myrrh, 19 1/2 lbs.; sweet cinnamon, 9 3/4 lbs.; sweet calamus, 9 3/4 lbs.; cassia, 19 1/2 lbs.; and olive oil, 6 qts. (Exodus 30:22-25).
2. Anoint the tabernacle, ark, table of showbread and its vessels, the candlestick and its vessels, altar of incense, the brazen altar and its vessels, the laver and its foot, and sanctify them to be most holy (Exodus 30:26-29).
3. Anoint Aaron and sons and consecrate them to be ministers (Exodus 30:30).
4. The holy anointing oil is not to be poured on the flesh of any man (other than priests, Exodus 30:30; Psalm 133:2), and no man is to make any oil like it to be used in Israel (Exodus 30:31-32).
5. Whoever makes any like it or puts it on a stranger shall die (Exodus 30:33).

Spiritual Anointing!

God's Holy Anointing Oil

But my horn shall thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. (Psalm 92:10)  David was being anointed with fresh oil!

1. His horn—power and authority) (Psalm 92:10)
2. His head—anointed with fresh oil
3. His eyes (Psalm 92:11)
4. His ears

The term "fresh oil" in the Scriptures is translated from the Hebrew word: "Yitshar"! It is also most frequently used in parallel with the term "New wine" of the Holy Spirit! The L-rd sent His twelve disciples out two by two, they took anointing oil with them to use when anointing and healing the sick. (Matthew 10:8) He gave them power! (Mark 6:12-13) Just as Yeshua Messiah sent His disciples out in the power of the Holy Spirit to pray, to anoint and heal the sick, which represented the Holy Spirit and people will be healed and delivered! He has planned for us to minister in the same power that was manifested in His life to those around you!

Do not spend your lives making provision for self-support before obeying the call of G-d!  Do not wait to save so much money until you have something’s extra!

GO WHEN YOU ARE CALLED!
and G-d will supply you! (Matthew 10:9-10).

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. (Mark 6:13) 

This is a common practice in the early church among all Christians! (James 5:14-16). Anointing with oil and praying for the sick is also the ministry of the Church today! God has given the Church the power of the Holy Spirit to do the same works that He did and even greater! We are directed to anoint the sick with oil, believing that they will be healed! Going out preaching that men should repent; healing the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils! Freely you have received, freely you will give!  (Mark 6:12; Matthew 10:8) Some of the reasons why people cannot freely give are because they have not freely received! (Denominational walls; wrong doctrines; religious spirits; Control [jezebel spirit]; manipulations; all works of the enemy of G-d inside the Church organizations; etc.!)

Our purpose is to fulfill G-d’s perfect will, not to please or to compromise with the leaders Church organizations, but being carriers of G-d’s Holy anointed oil – the anointing of the Holy Spirit – with power! That sacred anointing flowed through the Disciples and believers of the First Century Church, releasing a Divine capability – a power and authority they never had experienced before! The same Holy anointing is what we must have flowing, unlimited, unhindered, TODAY! Without it, we will continue to stay in the position of weakness, powerless and impotent! It is because of the anointing that ‘every yoke’ will be broken and destroyed! The anointing of the Holy Spirit is G-d’s seal upon our life! 

The Spirit of the L-rd G-d is upon me; because the L-rd hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the L-rd, and the day of vengeance of our G-d; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the L-rd, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:1-3) 

Oil of joy denotes that which expresses joy and happiness. Oil was employed on occasions of festivity and gladness (Psalm 45:7)

G-d never intended for just a few individuals within the Church to be anointed and having the gifts and manifestations of His Spirit flowing only through them! Just as G-d established a Holy Priesthood in the Scriptures in Old Testament {Ancient - Old-Covenant} -days and anointed them with His Holy anointing oil, He is establishing and still doing it today, a Holy Priesthood, of men and women who are saturated with His Spirit; walking in a demonstration of the fullness of His power to do the works and establishing His Royal Kingdom into the nations of the world!

The use of the anointing oil 2...!
Notes  from Yvonne McGill included (New Beginnings Lakeland FL)

      Anointing with oil was a mean of dedication! A consecration to G-d! (Genesis 28:18)
    Anointing oil was (still is!) a vital part of worship of ancient Israelites’ and part of the sacrificial offerings that G-d required of them! (Deuteronomy 18:4)
      The oil was necessary to provide light in the Holy of Holies! (Exodus 27:21)
     The Holy Anointing oil was used to consecrate the tabernacle and set everything in it apart as Holy! (Exodus 40:12-15; Leviticus 8:30)
     The Holy Anointing oil was used to sanctify, consecrate and set apart Aaron and his sons as a Holy Priesthood! (Exodus 40:12-15; Leviticus 8:30)
     The Holy Anointing oil was used for the anointing of the tabernacle, ark, table of showbread and its vessels, the candlestick and its vessels, altar of incense, the brazen altar and its vessels, the laver and its foot, and sanctify them to be most holy (Exodus 30:26-29).
      The outward ritual of anointing with oil (poured out) signified the choice of G-d, the calling of God, and the impartation of power for the particular work one was called to do. Priests, prophets, and kings were all anointed. If they carried out their calling they had God's support! (1 Samuel 10:6; 2 Samuel 2:4-7; 1 King 1:39; 19:15; 2 Kings 9:3; 23:30; 2 Corinthians 23:11?)
      Oil is representative of the joy released by the Holy Spirit, that which expresses joy and happiness in our life! (Psalm 45:7; Isaiah 6:3-1?)
      Anointing with oil is representative of the full supply of the Holy Spirit necessary to be ready for the return of Yeshua Messiah! (Matthew 25:1-12) (Parable of 10 virgins)
      Anointed with oil many that were "sick" was a common practice in the early church among all Christians (James 5:14-16)
      Anointing with oil was been used as an act of courtesy and hospitality toward guests (Luke 7:46)
      Anointing with pure olive oil is meant, as it was customary among Jews to carry such oil with them in all their journeys, to anoint their bodies and heal their wounds and bruises (Luke 10:34).  It doesn't mean that olive oil was a cure for all kinds of diseases, but it has a disinfection - working and it softened the pain of certain wounds!

Yeshua's three-fold Anointing’s

In the New  Covenant {New Testament}  you will find out that Messiah Yeshua Himself
was anointed with costly oil three times.

 The First Anointing of Yeshua!

One of the Pharisees asked Yeshua/Jesus to dine with him and He went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. And behold, a woman of the town who was an especially wicked sinner, when she learned that He was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment (perfume). And standing behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with [her] tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed His feet [affectionately] and anointed them with the ointment (perfume). (Luke 7: 36-38)
Then turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss, but she from the moment I came in has not ceased intermittently] to kiss My feet tenderly and caressingly. You did not anoint My head with [cheap, ordinary] oil, but she has anointed My feet with [costly, rare] perfume. (Luke 7: 44-46)

(1) At the beginning of Yeshua's ministry, at Simon the Pharisee's house in Capernaum, a woman anointed Yeshua' feet as an act of faith and an expression of her love! {She was NOT Mary Magdalene, not Magdalena on the Sea of Galilee!} She was known in Nain as a sinner (39). Mary is mentioned in Luke 8:2. Yeshua told Simon: My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. (Luke 7:46) Yeshua told the woman:  And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.( Luke 7:48)  ...Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. (Luke 7:50) This was the first of the three anointing of Yeshua. Here in these Scriptures and twice during the week just before His crucifixion & death!

Eastern people in that time reclined on couches at meals with the feet’s outward behind them.  The woman came back for Yeshua and shed tears on His feet’s. Anointing with olive oil mixed with fragrant and costly spices was customary in the coronation of Kings, (2 Kings 11:2), installing High Priest, (Psalm 133:2), to anoint to be a Prophet (1 Kings 19:16) and an act of courtesy and hospitality towards guest! (Luke 7:46).To anoint the face was an act of joy! (Psalm 45:7; Hebrews 1:9). Neglect of anointing self is an act of mourning. (2 Samuel 14:2; Daniel 10:3; Matthew 6:17-18). It was a custom that men greet each other with a kiss, not only relatives, but also others!  Kissing was an act of homage. It was also customary among first Century Christians!

 The Second Anointing of Yeshua!

 This Mary was the one who anointed the L-rd with perfume and wiped His feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was [now] sick. (John 11:2)
So SIX days before the Passover Feast, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died and whom He had raised from the dead. So they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at the table with Him. Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, the one of His disciples who was about to betray Him, said, Why was this perfume not sold for 300 denarii’s [a year's wages for an ordinary workman] and that [money] given to the poor (the destitute)? Now he did not say this because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief; and having the bag (the money box, the purse of the Twelve), he took for himself what was put into it [pilfering the collections]. But Jesus said, Let her alone. It was [intended] that she should keep it for the time of My preparation for burial. [She has kept it that she might have it for the time of My embalming] You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me. (John 12:1-8)

(2) Six days before the Passover  and before Yeshua' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, He was in Bethany at the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. There, Mary anointed Yeshua' feet with spikenard, which was a very rare and costly perfume, the equivalent of a year's wages! Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Yeshua's/Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. (John 12:3) This anointing was a prophetic act! It was done in preparation of His crucifixion;  death & burial! When Judas was complaining, the L-rd told him: "...Let her alone. It was [intended] that she should keep it for the time of My preparation for burial. ...you do not always have Me".

 The Third Anointing of Yeshua!

When Yeshua/Jesus had ended this discourse, He said to His disciples, You know that the Passover is in two days--and the Son of Man will be delivered up treacherously to be crucified. Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the [open] court of the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, And consulted together in order to arrest Jesus by stratagem secretly and put Him to death. But they said, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there will be a riot among the people. Now when Jesus came back to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper;  A woman came up to Him with an alabaster flask of very precious perfume and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table.
And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, for what purpose is all this waste? For this perfume might have been sold for a large sum and the money given to the poor. But Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me. For you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me. In pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare Me for My burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this good news (the Gospel) is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told also, in memory of her. (Matthew 26:1-13)

It was now TWO days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were all the while seeking to arrest [Jesus] by secrecy and deceit and put [Him] to death, For they kept saying, It must not be during the Feast, for fear that there might be a riot of the people. 3And while He was in Bethany, [a guest] in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining [at table], a woman came with an alabaster jar of ointment (perfume) of pure nard, very costly and precious; and she broke the jar and poured [the perfume] over His head. But there were some who were moved with indignation and said to themselves, to what purpose was the ointment (perfume) thus wasted? For it was possible to have sold this [perfume] for more than 300 denari’s [a laboring man's wages for a year] and to have given [the money] to the poor. And they censured and reproved her. But Yeshua/Jesus said, Let her alone; why are you troubling her? She has done a good and beautiful thing to Me [praiseworthy and noble]. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have Me.  8She has done what she could; she came beforehand to anoint My body for the burial. And surely I tell you, wherever the good news (the Gospel) is proclaimed in the entire world, what she has done will be told in memory of her. (Mark 14:1-9; Amplified)

Two anointing's of Yeshua in the last week!

(3) There were two anointing's in the last week! One in the house of Lazarus; six days before the Passover! The other or the third anointing was in the house of Simon the (ex)-leper in Bethany; two days before the Passover! Again there was a woman who anointed Yeshua' head with very expensive perfume!

Now when Yeshua/Jesus came back to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper;  A woman came up to Him with an alabaster flask of very precious perfume and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. (Mark 14:6-7) When the disciples again complained, the L-rd told them: ..."But Jesus, fully aware of this, said to them, why do you bother the woman? She has done a noble (praiseworthy and beautiful) thing to Me. For you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have Me In pouring this perfume on My body she has done something to prepare Me for My burial". (Matthew 26:10-12)

There was another anointing of Yeshua/Jesus earlier in His Ministry in the house of Simon the Pharisee in Capernaum at the beginning of Yeshua's ministry! (1)

Jesus was anointed on His head, feet’s and body! There were three anointing's total! There are also several points of difference between them in these Scriptures!

To anoint with pour pure olive oil upon someone is a sign of consecration and was a customary, also in the early church among all Christians. It was mostly mixed with fragrant and costly spices. Also to anoint the head with oil and even the body for burial! In these passages here is it a devotional act of sacrificial worship to the Lord! Remember the oil was very precious and costly!

Anointing of your head, when you are going to fast! But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face (Matthew 6:17)

Messiah (or Christ) means the Anointed One!

Using the anointing oil for...

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 L-rd: (James 5:14)  The actions the elders have to do for the sick is pray over them with the prayer of faith (James 5:14, 15); Anoint them with oil (James 5:14); Invoke the Name of Yeshua, the Messiah (James 5:14)

No doubt pure olive oil is meant, as it was customary among Ancient Jews to carry such oil with them in all their journeys, to anoint their bodies and heal their wounds and bruises (Luke 10:34).  This anointing was merely symbolic of the healing of G-d by the Holy Spirit (Mark 6:13). It doesn't mean that olive oil was a cure for all kinds of diseases. The oil itself did not heal, for one would not have to pray and invoke the name of Yeshua the Messiah - Jesus the Christ merely to anoint with oil, nor would it have to be done by the elders of the church

He had been sick. It would be also a physical breakdown rather than some disease.  The Greek verb for "he had been sick" is astheneo to be weak or feeble in any sense. 

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. (Mark 6:13)  A common practice in the early church among all Christians!

There is more involved in the word "sick"!

1. Weak faith (Romans 4:19; 14:1, 2, 21; 1 Corinthians 8:9-12; 2 Corinthians 12:10; 13:4)
2. Weak law (Romans 8:3)
3. Weak (poor) people (Acts 20:35)
4. Weak in boldness and power (2 Corinthians 11:21, 29; 12:10; 13:3, 4, 9)
5. Deliverance from evil spirits. (Mark 6:13) 
6. Those who live in darkness!
7. Weak; impotent:

Putting someone into a office or task

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. (1 Timothy 4:14) 

This refers to the gifts and graces of G-d given to Timothy, enabling him to do the same works that Paul did (1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6; 1 Corinthians 16:10).  Such power was given by prophecy and the laying on of hands. The prophecy was some prediction that Timothy would be used of G-d (1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 4:14). The way that prophets in the Old Testament anoint kings, leaders, man, into their called (by G-d) office, is NOT perish for the day of today! Yeshua did not put away the laws {G-d's teachings}, but fulfill it!

Things that the Law could not do!

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, G-d sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: (Romans 8:3) 

Justify (Acts 13:38-39; Galatians 2:16)
Free from sin and death (Romans 8:2)
Free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-4)
Redeem (Romans 3:24-31;Galatians 3:13-14)
Give inheritance (Romans 4:13-14)

Bring righteousness (Romans 8:4)
Impart Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:2)
Perform miracles (Galatians 3:5)
Free from the curse (Galatians 3:10-14)
Impart faith (Galatians 3:12)

Impart grace (Galatians 5:4)
Make perfect (Hebrews 7:19)
Control sin in man (Romans 7:7-23;  8:2)
Keep man from sin (Romans 7:7-23;  8:7)
Enable a man to obey (Hebrews 7:18)

Weak; impotent: The law was powerless to control the flesh, for sin already had control of it before the law came (Romans 5:20; Galatians 3:19).  Sin would not permit the flesh to obey the law (Romans 7:7-23) More reasons to anoint with olive oil someone from the weaknesses and claim victory in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach! To anoint with pour pure olive oil upon someone is a sign of consecration!

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. (Luke 7:46)  Anointing with olive oil mixed with fragrant and costly spices, was customary in the coronation of kings (2 Kings 11:12),

Installing high priests (Psalm 133:2), and an act of courtesy!
Hospitality toward guests! (Luke 7:46).  (Psalm 23:5; 92:10; 105:15; Deuteronomy 28:40; Ruth 3:3; Ecclesiast 9:8; Micah 6:15; Matthew 6:17).
Neglect of anointing self was an act of mourning (2 Samuel 14:2; Daniel 10:3; Matthew 6:17-18). 
To anoint the face was a sign of joy (Psalm 45:7; Hebrews 1:9)

The necessary need of the Anointing to preach the Gospel…

The Spirit of the L-d is upon me, because he hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (Luke 4:18; KJV) 
 

The Spirit of the L-rd G-d is upon me; because the L-rd hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the L-rd, and the day of vengeance of our G-d; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the L-rd, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:1-3; KJV) 

The anointing – the presence of G-d upon a certain chosen & sanctified person; giving His approval to accomplish G-d Divine purpose! 

1.The Anointing to preach:

(1) The gospel to the poor (the destitute, needy)
(2) Deliverance to captives in sin, sickness, and death (Acts 10:38; Ephesians 4:8-10; Hebrews 2:14-15)
(3) The acceptable year or period typified by the year of jubilee when liberty was proclaimed to all people on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:8-13). When the atonement of Yeshua/Christ is fully embraced, the sick, sinful, helpless, and needy are restored health, holiness, power, and prosperity, and full dominion over satan and membership and communion in G-d's family!

 2.The Anointing to heal: 

(1) The broken in heart, mind, soul, and body (Acts 10:38)
(2) The blind in body, soul, and spirit, those in darkness (Matthew 4:16; Luke 1:79; 2:32; John 1:4-9; 3:16-21; 8:32; Acts 26:18; Colossians 1:13)
(3) The bruised, the completely crushed and shattered in life, the oppressed and broken (Isaiah 58:6-14; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 13:16)
(4) Those who live in darkness!

Gifts are not given so that bodies may be abused by overwork. They are not to enable man to work beyond what is sensible and best for the body. Overwork, as example is one of the major cause of physical trouble,  and in such a case no doubt that it is the best to let your body recuperate before going back again into the work! Prayer will do wonders even in a physical breakdown, but it will never sustain a body that is not properly taken care of by rest and nourishment! Why did G-d establish the Sabbath or at least one day rest in the week?
