The Holy Spirit: Oil

The Holy Spirit: Oil
Therefore God, Your God,
has anointed You with the oil of gladness.
Hebrews 1:9

The Holy Spirit is the Oil of gladness. The Lord said, “I see the oppression of My people. I hear their cry. I know their sorrows” (Exodus 3:7). Just as the Lord knew and identified with the suffering of His people in Moses’ day, He knows your troubles today. He is Oil, pouring Himself into your wounds; He can make you rejoice.

Lord, Your healing Oil is good. Rejuvenate my Spirit and take away the scars of my mind. Just as Your Oil takes away physical pain, I also want You to take away mental and spiritual memories. Let Your Oil wash away the impurities in my wounds and cleanse me physically and mentally.

The Holy Spirit is Oil; when He pours His presence on your discouragement, you’ll have new zeal to live for God and new strength to serve Him—you’ll rejoice! The Holy Spirit is Oil; when He pours His presence on your failures, you’ll see new opportunities in your life—you’ll grow. He is Oil, washing away your impurities that fester and breed germs; you can be whole again. He is Oil, giving you a second chance and a new opportunity. Let the Oil of the Holy Spirit give you a new challenge this day.

Lord, Your Oil has made me a new person. My hurt is gone; my body is renewed for service; and my soul is again made whole. Thank You for today’s anointing. I’ll need a new one tomorrow. Amen.
