Oil! (Reposting June 2019)
Verse 28 really jumped out at me yesterday:
1 Chronicles 27:²⁶ And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: ²⁷ And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: ²⁸ And over the OLIVE TREES and the sycomore (fruit) trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan (H1177 possessor of Grace) the Gederite: and over the CELLARS OF OIL was Joash.
(See attached for definition of Joash name! Get ready! So cool.)
Oil represents the Anointing (the fatness Represents the Super-Abundance of God's Holy Spirit presence). It also represents the Oil of Gladness, AND Prosperity.
Abundant oil is a sign of Prosperity (Deuteronomy 32:13; 33:24; II Kings 18:32; Job 29:6; Joel 2:19, 24), and running out of oil is indicative of famine/lack.
All 10 Virgins were not defiled by man, awaiting the bridegroom, but 5 "foolish" virgins didn't have enough Oil to Shine! (Mt 25:1-13)
Ok, so I was meditating on Why this Scripture seemed to be a different sort of Gift; CELLARS OF OIL IS A LOT OF OIL!!
So I looked up this servant Joash, during the reign of KING DAVID! I thought an outpouring of Oil is indeed coming! But for what exactly?
An obvious conclusion is the Church needs Revival.
But in my study, couldn't help but run into a different Joash I was oddly familiar with. He shows up in the Bible as an infant son of King Ahaziah of Judah. His aunt rescued him from Queen Athaliah [his grandmother], who had all heirs to Throne of Judah assassinated just after her son was executed by Jehu (a type of Christ). Jehoash (same kid) was only 7 years old at his coronation, so he was counseled/taught by the "anointed" Priest Jehoiada. He reigned 40 years and was considered a good king - until he wasn't. He became very wealthy and Prideful. So after the Priest died, he killed his successor/son Zechariah and turned against God to worship Baal/Ashteroth. (2 Chr 24:17-19)
What a contrast!
Joash #1 was over Cellars of Oil...thats a lot of Oil. Whereas the other lived off the Oil of the Priest and fell away as soon as he died! And was a murderer. (Bone dry.)
Ok, so what's this got to do with Oil today?
There's Holy Oil and there's unholy oil.
There's Holy Oil for God's Priests to be sanctified for SERVICE, but to apply it to "strangers" was so forbidden BY GOD, anyone doing such a thing would become an outcast! Hello or should I say Bingo?
It's for God's Children! It's Not for the reprobate!
AMP Exodus 30:[25] And you shall make of these a Holy Anointing Oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer (apothecary); it shall be a Sacred Anointing Oil. [29] You shall Sanctify (separate) them, THAT THEY MAY BE MOST HOLY; WHOEVER and WHATEVER touches them must be Holy (set apart to God). [30] And you shall Anoint Aaron and his sons and Sanctify (separate) them, that they may Minister to Me as Priests. [31 ] And say to the Israelites, This is a Holy Anointing Oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit], SACRED TO ME ALONE throughout your generations. [Rom. 8:9; I Cor. 12:3.]
[32] It shall NOT be poured upon a layman's body, nor shall you make any other like it in composition; it is Holy, and you shall hold it Sacred. [33] Whoever compounds any LIKE IT or puts ANY of it upon an OUTSIDER shall be cut off from his people.
Notice it says in Amplified [Symbol of the Holy Ghost]. Wow!!
THE ANOINTING OIL WAS INITIATED TO MAKE HOLY (SET APART, SANCTIFY) THE PRIESTS AND ARTICLES OF THE TEMPLE USED ONLY IN WORSHIP!
Anything that touched them had to be Holy as they went before the Holy God in Service.
So what's that got to do with you?
Its in the EXODUS from enslavement, and repeated all the way to the End! (Ex 19:5-6, Dt 14:2; NT Holy Priesthood 1 PETER 2:5,9 and Rev 1:5-6; 20:6)
Also, remember what Abraham did when the Lord showed up for dinner unannounced? (Gen 18:4)
Then remember the Alabaster Box full of Spikenard Oil the Sinner Mary used to Anoint Jesus' feet with? (Spikenard is THE OIL OF PEACE!) She needed PEACE from the Prince of Peace!
Then remember the last thing JESUS DID TO/FOR THE DISCIPLES? Why? Because the Feet are SHOD with the Gospel of Peace, and it gets dirty out there in the world. They had not received the Gift of the Holy Spirit yet! Remember how Peter protested, not understanding the EXAMPLE OF SERVICE JESUS WAS preparing them for!
John 13:⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER. ⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
(NEVER SAY NEVER!)
Jesus answered him, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU HAST NO PART WITH ME.
So then Peter was like wash all of me, but Jesus said only his feet needed cleansed. (I can relate.)
Ok, this is not a total rabbit trail, but it kind of is. Go with me for a moment. So I live in flip flops; my feet get dirty. But lately we've been moving into a home that needed 2k+sqft flooring replaced. I can't believe how dirty just concrete floors are. The dust seems to just cling to me, so I'm rinsing them off at the hose several times a day. So in bad need of a pedicure. When they get done filing off the calluses, they OIL my feet and calves. Oh it feels so good and they're soooo SOFT. Point being, OIL SOFTENS the flesh!
I can't imagine what it was like when Jesus walked on dry dusty roads everyday. You can bet they were dirty from being in the "world" and so it was customary for SERVANTS to wash the Masters feet! But Jesus was the Master, so he humbles himself to Show them the WAY! He washed their feet so they were READY to Walk in the Spirit - with the Gospel of Peace - in His place!
We are instructed by Paul to BE SHOD IN THE GOSPEL OF PEACE! NOT STRIFE! (Eph 6:15)
See, you have to start from the GROUND UP when it comes to walking in Peace. (2 Chr 7:14)
Luke 7:³⁶ And one of the PHARISEES desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. ³⁷ And, behold, a woman in the city, which was A SINNER (pr******te; per most commentaries), when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an Alabaster box of ointment, ⁴⁴ And He turned to the woman, and said unto SIMON, Seest thou this woman? I entered into THINE HOUSE, thou gavest me NO WATER for MY FEET: BUT SHE HATH WASHED MY FEET with tears, and wiped them with the Hairs of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gavest me No Kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath NOT CEASED TO KISS MY FEET. ⁴⁶ MY HEAD WITH OIL THOU DIDST NOT ANOINT: but this woman hath Anointed my feet with Ointment. ⁴⁷ Wherefore I say unto thee, Her SINS, which are MANY, ARE FORGIVEN; FOR SHE LOVED MUCH: but to whom little is forgiven, the same Loveth Little. ⁴⁸ And he said unto her, THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
THAT'S THE PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING! (Heb 2:15)
It's time to BREAK THAT ALABASTER BOX!
Get yourself down low and wash His feet with tears and that Precious Oil will flow!
It's time for a SACRIFICE that the Lord sees is your WORSHIP!
THEN YOU'LL HEAR - YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN! Then you'll be remembered FOREVER!!
ITS TIME TO BE CLEANSED and ready in season and out to Preach the GOSPEL OF PEACE through Unity! (Read PS 133)
It starts from the Head down when it's for PREPARATION:
Matthew 26:⁷ There came unto him a woman having an Alabaster Box of very Precious Ointment, and poured it on His Head, as he sat at meat. … ¹⁰ When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble Ye the woman? for she hath wrought a Good work upon me. ¹¹ For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. ¹² For in that she hath Poured this Ointment on my body, she did it for my BURIAL. ¹³ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be Preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a Memorial of her.
God can't forget great Sacrifice and Humble Service.
Just as the Oil is Preparation TO SERVE IN WORSHIP, its also for Burial!!
What?
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!
Which means your spirit man has to die, lay itself down, so Jesus can Resurrect it in Newness of Life! YOU MUST LOSE YOUR LIFE TO GAIN IT! (Mt 3:2, 16:25, in all 4 Gospels.)
God must have A Sanctified Temple to abide in. (See Rom 6:4-5)
THE ANOINTING OIL IS SO PRECIOUS!
It doesn't belong to the WORLD!
All must come and bow down at Jesus feet at the Cross to receive Atonement and become a New Creation in Christ, to enter into Kingdom SERVICE!
It's a "HOLY" work of God.
THE HUMILITY OF SERVICE IS A COMMANDMENT JESUS LEFT HIS DISCIPLES. (THE APOSTLES HAD TO "BE YE HOLY, AS HE IS HOLY" to carry on the Holy works.)
Glory to God!
A SACRIFICE OF OIL WILL CAUSE THE CRUZ OF OIL TO NEVER CEASE NOW, JUST LIKE DURING THE DROUGHT/FAMINE! (See 1 K 17:14)
What are you holding back that belongs to Jesus? What WORSHIP have you stashed instead of pouring it out at the Masters Feet?
Have no water or a Kiss or Oil?
(The Holy Spirit) IS HE REALLY YOUR LORD, YOUR MASTER?
Are you going to be like Simon the L***r that was HEALED? Not EVEN giving the Lord ANY HONOR AS A GUEST IN YOUR HOME? HELLO!
GIVE IT UP FOR THE LORD!!
You can't walk in PEACE if you're walking in strife! The World is bent on Strife and Division, but THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE SALT OF THE EARTH, SENT TO HEAL, PURIFY, PRESERVE, and CLEANSE THE EARTH! Salt that's lost its savor is worthless. (Mt 5:13)
Or are you Stuck in the Mud of Unforgiveness? (With the worst case of stinking swampass ever!)
YOU CAN'T WALK IN THE PURITY OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT covered in MUCK AND MIRE!
They are totally contrary to one another. You can't be hearing the Holy Spirit when your listening to voices of hate! Its not in God's nature to be two-faced, backbiting -or- revealing to you what He hasn't said directly already. Even when he sent PROPHETS to tell Kings things, like judgements, they already KNEW in their hearts they'd sinned! God is Not telling you stuff about people that's not Edifying. It's GOD'S JOB to Judge People. (BTW - An UNJUST judge is used as an example in Lk 18:6.) Judge sin for yourSELF. You can't spew hate for Politicians and be in the Spirit! Don't care if you're affiliated with a particular party.
Anyone who hates their brother or sister is a murderer, and that no murderer has Eternal Life abiding in them. 1 Jn 3:15 specifically, read vs 13-16.
You can HATE SIN, not the sinner!!
God is Love. He is the Judge of All. He will judge righteously in All things.
Your IDLE WORDS will be accounted for. (Mt 12:36) If you're not called into Leadership this might be why! (Gal 6:1 This rabbit trail is for someone.)
Only God's ALL KNOWING, ALL SEEING EYE, who knows the heart of a person can say, Jacob I have Loved, Esau I have hated (detested). Because he rejected HIS GOD GIVEN BIRTHRIGHT for a measley bowl of beans. (Much like Adam.)
DON'T TRADE YOU BIRTHRIGHT FOR A MOMENTARY CAUSE you have limited understanding of.
God raises up the Lowly - humble - when you're looking at your own feet, you can't judge others. Its time to file the calluses off, and Get the Oil to soften them. Get back to the Gospel of Peace!
For GOD resists THE PROUD!
There's an outpouring of OIL that will never run dry in the Masters hand, will you let him wash your feet Peter? (Prepare you for the Fullness of the Holy Spirit and Power! Mt 3:11, in all 4 Gospels.)
So you are READY to be taken up into the Throneroom and shown what He's got in store for you? Then you "might" be privy to what's going on in earthly thronerooms...
Isaiah 1:¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as Scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (spotless). ¹⁹ If ye be willing and Obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be DEVOURED with the sWord: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
God is the same, yesterday, Today and Forever. His Laws are established Forever. Praise Jesus for the Atonement that paid for the ANOINTING OIL TO BE POURED OUT TO ALL WHO COME TO HIM! (Acts 2:39)
Bow and Kiss the FEET of the King of kings, the Lord of lords and He will Lift you up.
I had no idea where Jesus was taking this.
If the Shoe fits - take it off and get your smelly feet washed. 😅
GIVE JESUS WHAT'S DUE! AMEN.
Even so, Come Quickly, Lord! Amen.

God HASTENS!
If ever its Time to Buy Oil for PREPARATION and Sacrifice and POWER its NOW.
The above was written 6yrs ago - stumbled onto it searching my DCM page for "1 Kings 19" (There's over 300 pages of studies I've blogged on here.) I'd posted blogs on Elijah several times that month, but not recently.
LAST NIGHT I dreamed, whether in the body or out I don't know, that I was in the Cleft of the Rock! It was very high up - which in the natural would have weakened my knees - but I had No Fear! Then I felt the Presence of the Lord so strong it jolted me like a Lightning strike back. My husband cried when I told him, goosies all over my body when said, I could still feel the smooth cool stones in my hands.
Elijah's Ministry changed dramatically after that encounter. He went before wicked King Ahab again after Naboth was murdered to pronounce his and Jezebel's death. Everything Happened that God had told him; 7yrs later when Jehu was crowned. Hello! Elijah had schools in 3 locations, and he had a predecessor (Elisha) that had the boldness to ask for DOUBLE the ANOINTING. Sure enough, when he saw Elijah RAPTURED up in the Chariot of FIRE he caught the Mantle that had then been in GOD'S PRESENCE TWICE!
ELIJAH and MOSES CAME BACK on the Mount of Transfiguration to ANOINT THE KING (like David), just before the TRIUMPHANT entry into Jerusalem - on a donkey as prophecied. Per JESUS, Elijah came as John the Baptist to Prepare the Way and did no miracles. He and Moses will RETURN again to Preach JESUS THE MESSIAH, and Reveal to Israel God's Power in the same manner as their first Works for 42months and many will receive Salvation and be killed. (This occurs after this Grace age ends - when Bride of Christ is taken up.)
You haven't heard the last of Elijah, the prophet who came against BAAL IDOLATRY will usher in the FALL OF BABYLON! (The spirit of Baal/Jezebel.)
Jesus, King of kings, Lord of lords book published in 2020 dives deep into this. (Prophecy fulfilled.)
I'm done blogging. Going Live!
See you soon.
