Anointing oil is not just a fragrant liquid in a beautiful bottle—it’s a sacred tool, deeply rooted in biblical tradition and spiritual practice. For thousands of years, anointing oil has been used to set people and objects apart as holy, to heal, to protect, and to usher in the presence of God. But how exactly do you use it today? And why should you? Let’s get into it.
A Brief History of Anointing Oil
Anointing oil first appears in the Bible all the way back in Exodus. God gave Moses a specific recipe for a holy anointing oil, made of pure olive oil mixed with myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, and cassia (Exodus 30:22-25). This wasn’t just any oil—this was God’s custom blend, meant for anointing the tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and priests.
Kings were anointed with oil, too. When Samuel anointed David as king, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him (1 Samuel 16:13). It wasn’t just a symbol; it was a divine appointment. Even the word "Messiah" in Hebrew literally means "The Anointed One".
Why Use Anointing Oil Today?
Anointing oil is not just an Old Testament relic. Today, it can be used in powerful ways:
Prayer and Healing: Whether praying for the sick or seeking personal healing, anointing oil is a biblical tool for invoking God’s healing power. The Bible backs it up from Isaiah to Psalms.
Consecration: You can anoint your home, your children, or even yourself to dedicate them to God.
Spiritual Warfare: Anointing oil is often used to declare God’s protection over a person, space, or object.
Worship and Prayer: Using anointing oil during worship or personal prayer time can help set the atmosphere and invite the Holy Spirit.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Anointing Oil
1. Choose Your Oil
You want a high-quality, biblically inspired oil. The Israel Store has a beautiful collection of anointing oils made in the Holy Land, made in Israel. These oils are made with natural, aromatic ingredients and follow biblical traditions. Choose a scent or blend that resonates with your intention—myrrh for healing, frankincense for prayer, or spikenard for worship.
2. Pray
Before using the oil, it’s meaningful to recite a blessing or a personal prayer. Ask Hashem to bless the oil and to use it for a good purpose. This isn’t about superstition; it’s about connecting with God through a symbolic act. You might say something like:
“Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth blessings and healing.”
3. Apply the Oil
Put a small amount of oil on your finger and apply it where needed:
On Yourself: Anoint your forehead or hands while asking for strength, wisdom, or protection.
On Someone Else: With their permission, anoint their forehead or hands while praying for them.
On Objects or Spaces: You can anoint doorframes, windows, or objects while asking for God’s protection and blessing over your home.
4. Speak Scriptures and Prayers
Declare scriptures like Psalm 23:5, "You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Personalize your prayers based on your situation—whether for healing, blessing, or protection.
5. Follow Up with Faith
Anointing is not a one-time event. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep using the oil as part of your spiritual routine.

Is it true that we are forbidden to imitate the combination of oil in Exodus 30:22-25 ?
Gracias.
Thank you very much brother, May GOD continue to bless and keep you.
Rather than using anointing oil as a mere ritual or method, we should seek the moment when its use flows from the divine will of God. Let’s turn our hearts to ask and listen for His direction, ensuring our actions align with His purpose rather than our own desires.
