Introduction: Declare Psalm 91 and break free from every attack of fear, worry, and anxiety

Happy National Day, Singapore! We begin the service with a short celebration of our nation’s 55th birthday.

Pastor Prince begins the sermon by emphasizing how vital it is for us to memorize and meditate on Psalm 91, which is the psalm of protection. In this time, when we are facing a global pandemic, this psalm is more relevant than ever.

Psalm 91 is a New Testament psalm even though it was uttered in the Old Testament. It is about those of us who dwell in the secret place of the Most High, which is in Christ.

When fear or anxious thoughts creep in, it is the Word of God that will rescue you from those worries and reassure you of the Lord’s divine protection over your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Whatever trappings the devil might have for you, the Lord will surely deliver you from them.

You can meditate on Psalm 91 this way:
“Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.”
— Psalm 91:3 NKJV

Meditate on the word “surely” — The Lord has promised that He shall surely deliver you from every attack of the enemy. This is a certainty.

“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.”
— Psalm 91:5–6 NKJV

“pestilence that walks in darkness” — For the pestilences that you don’t even know exist around you (i.e. asymptomatic cases of COVID-19), God has promised in His Word that He will protect you, and you need not fear.

Pastor Prince shares a testimony from a lady whose son who was kept safe and divinely protected from COVID-19, even when those who had been in close proximity to him had caught the virus.

“And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee…”
— Deuteronomy 7:15 KJV

“the Lord will take away from thee all sickness” — No matter what type of sickness you may have been diagnosed with (e.g. diabetes, cancer, tumor), the Lord is faithful to deliver you from it all, for all of God’s promises in Christ are “yes” and “amen.”

Pastor Prince shares a story of a British colonel who commanded his troops to memorize and declare Psalm 91 daily during the four years of battling in WWI. He eventually testified that there had been no casualties among his troops, though they were subject to bombings. Like it says in Psalm 91:7, “a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.”

VIDEO: A video of Pastor Prince’s son, Justin, reciting Psalm 91 from memory is shown on screen.

Pastor Prince encourages all parents to help their children memorize Psalm 91.

The Word will come to rescue us at the right time when we need it the most.

You are destined to live a quality life under grace:one of rest, strength, and victory

In the Bible, God promises us long life until we are satisfied (see Ps. 91:16). However, even amongst believers, we see or hear of people whose lives have been cut short, and we wonder why this happens.

God never wanted us to experience death. God hates death (which is a result of sin), and He intends for His people to live a long, good life.

There are things that can shorten our lives (e.g. the making of unwise decisions and actions). On the flip side, the more we worship God and honor our parents, the more our days are prolonged.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23 KJV

“eternal life” — Eternal life doesn’t start when your heart stops beating. It starts the moment you believe that Jesus has paid for all your sins and you receive Him as your Savior. From that point on, you are spiritually born again.

For a believer, physical death is like taking off the physical body while your soul lives on forever, and you are clothed in a glorious, incorruptible body.

One day, when the rapture happens, we will all be transformed into our glorified bodies (see 1 Cor. 15:51-53).

Today, there is a double curse on the ground because of man’s sin. When Adam first sinned, God cursed the ground (see Gen. 3:17–18), and when Cain killed his brother, Abel, God once again pronounced a curse on the ground (see Gen. 4:11–12). Right now, creation is groaning and travailing with the effect of man’s sin while it awaits Jesus’ second coming.

The rapture is imminent—it can come anytime. Pastor Prince believes that we are the end-time generation who will live to see the rapture happen.

Till that day comes, God has ordained us to live victorious lives here on earth:

“Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
— 1 Thessalonians 4:17 NKJV

“alive and remain” — This denotes strength and power. It is one thing to be alive because we are young, but another to be alive and remain. To remain means that we have the power to overcome death.

As believers, we might ask, Why does death overtake believers so easily then? If we have received the gift of eternal life, why do we still have this experience?

Pastor Prince shares how the Lord showed him that it is the effect of living under law instead of living under grace.

The law is also known as the ministry of death, which was written and engraved on stones (2 Cor. 3:7). While the law is holy and was given by God through Moses, it was never intended for us to fulfill by our own effort or self-righteousness. Rather, it was to show sinful men how much we need God’s abundant grace (Rom. 3:19–26, Rom. 5:20).

The Bible says believers are not under law but under grace (Rom. 6:14).

Under grace, God is the One at work in our lives. Under the law, we are the ones who are working. There is no compromise between living under law and grace—either we are laboring to produce results, or it is God who is working in us and through us.

WHEN GOD WORKS, HE WILL WORK THROUGH YOU, IN YOU, AND FOR YOU TO PRODUCE THE RESULTS YOU WANT TO SEE IN YOUR LIFE.

The believer’s life is designed to be one of inward rest. We can be outwardly busy, but inwardly at rest. This is illustrated in the Tabernacle of Moses (in the Old Testament, God told Moses and the Israelites to build Him a tabernacle as they wandered in the wilderness).


The Outer Court — In the outer court, there is a lot of natural light. This speaks of the people of the world who go by what is natural, i.e. what they can see with their physical eyes. People of the world are confined to what they can see. God wants us to walk by faith and not by sight. What we can see is temporal, while what we cannot see is eternal (2 Cor. 4:18)—like the angels, the Holy Spirit, God with us. That tumor you can see on the x-ray is temporal, while God’s promise of healing is eternal.


The Holy Place — In the Holy Place, light comes from the menorah or the lamp stand, which is a picture of the church of Jesus Christ. We are shining Christ’s light in this world of darkness. We are telling the world that God’s thoughts toward them are thoughts of love and compassion, not of destruction.

“For He does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men”
— Lamentations 3:33 NKJV


The Holy of Holies — This is where God’s presence dwells, and the light in this place comes only from His presence. He lights up the place with His shekinah glory.

Our next step as believers is to step into that shekinah glory, for we already have eternal life within us.

If you look at the Tabernacle from the outside in, you’ll see that the outer court is full of hustle and bustle because there is a lot of activity going on like the sacrificing of animals, but deep inside, in the holy of holies, there is perfect peace. This is a picture of what God wants our lives to be like.

While we might be at work on the outside, we can remain at rest on the inside.

Believe that whatever you do, God will prosper. Whatever you do, God’s favor will be on it.

The Lord wants us to live stress-free lives for a very practical reason. Stress has been medically proven to be the cause of diseases (e.g. heart troubles, high blood pressure), and also causes one to grow old. God’s desire is for us to have our hearts settled, to be at rest, so that we can live victoriously and enjoy a healthy and full life.

________________________________________________

Reign in life and see good days when you depend solely on God’s supply of grace

As believers under grace, whatever you do has the touch of God’s favor upon it. Every blessing we experience today is tied up with the gospel that saved us—which is the gospel of grace. To believe otherwise is to be self-righteous.

“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
— Romans 10:3 KJV

“being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness” — God’s righteousness is a gift to be received, not earned. The state of righteousness is being acquitted from all guilt and having right standing with God. Though we are sinful, when we receive His gift of righteousness, we can stand righteous in His presence. However, we cannot establish our own righteousness through our own works, nor can we have a bit of God’s righteousness and a bit of ours—which is what Israel tried to do.

We have a triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And God has also made us a tripartite being—with a spirit, soul, and a body.

Righteousness is established in a believer’s life the very moment we believe that Jesus’ perfect work at the cross has removed all our sins once and for all—and the outcome of receiving God’s righteousness is seen in our lives, translated in our spirit, soul, and body.

When God instructed Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He said, “The day you eat of it you shall surely die” (Gen. 2:17). And yet Adam only died when he was 930 years old (see Gen. 5:5). What happened was that the day he sinned, he died spiritually, but death had not touched his body yet. Eventually, it did, and Adam died.

What happens in your spirit will touch your body.

Grace doesn’t just save us spiritually, but it is also our protection, provision, and divine health. We have been saved by grace, and we need to continue in grace.

The law was designed to show sinners that we cannot justify ourselves and we need God’s grace (Rom. 3:20). It was not designed for us to fulfill in order to receive good.

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”
— Romans 5:17

“reign in life” — Notice that we are to reign “in life,” not “after death.” The Lord wants us to reign in this life here on earth. The secret to reigning in life is through receiving the gift of righteousness, which has been bought and fully paid for by our Lord Jesus Christ.

On earth, we know that death is total. No one escapes from it, no matter how good they are or how rich they are. People die because of Adam’s sin—but God gives eternal life, and eternal life is not just about living forever, but it is the zoe life that God Himself lives by, which is the highest and best form of physical life there is.

Pastor Prince shares a pyramid that explains the different levels of life:

1. On the bottom of the pyramid is plant life. Plants have life, but they don’t have a spirit or a soul.

2. On the next level of the pyramid is animal life. Animals have life and a soul, but they don’t have a spirit.

3. On the third level of the pyramid is human life. As human beings, we have been created with a spirit, soul, and body.

4. At the top of the pyramid is zoe life, which is the very life that God Himself lives by.

GOD’S GIFT TO US IS ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE UTMOST QUALITY EVEN TO BE EXPERIENCED HERE ON EARTH.

“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter (the law) kills, but the Spirit (grace) gives life. Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:5–7 ESV

“the letter kills” — There is an erroneous teaching that “the letter” refers to the superficial reading of God’s Word without revelation, and “the Spirit” refers to the reading of God’s Word with revelation. This is false. “The letter” undoubtedly refers to the law (the Ten Commandments), which is evident in the next line that describes it as “carved in letters on stone.” It is the law which results in death.

“the Spirit gives life” — The “Spirit” here refers to grace, which is the person of Jesus, who gives life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10).

“the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone” — The ministry of death is the law, and it is known to “kill” because the law condemns sin in our flesh. However, it is through the ministry of grace that we live, for it is the Spirit of grace that gives life.

CONDEMNATION KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.

It is important to note that every time we condemn our children, we are ministering death. As parents, we should learn to minister life to our children by extending grace toward them when they make mistakes. This does not mean that we should never correct them, for there are times we have to and the Holy Spirit leads us to do so. But we should not heap guilt and shame on them.

An example of how the law ministers death and grace ministers life is seen in the way 3,000 people died when the law was given on Mount Sinai, while 3,000 were saved when the Spirit was given on Mount Zion.

The fact is that the law is perfect, and when it cannot find perfection in the recipient, it has no choice but to confer death (condemnation). The law is the ministry of death. When someone is under the law, death is constantly being ministered to the person. The reason that many believers today are subject to death, not only in their physical bodies but also in their minds, relationships, etc., is that they still believe they are under the law.

All believers today need to know that they are no longer under law but under grace.

When you are under grace, life is constantly being ministered to you.

When you remove the law from a person, it doesn’t mean that they will become lawless.

The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead demonstrates this.

Jesus asked Lazarus’ sisters to remove the stone (signifying the Ten Commandments) from Lazarus’ tomb when He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead. When the stone was removed, Lazarus came forth! Similarly, as believers, we are all resurrected spirits, and when the stone (the law) is removed, we will come forth in Christ’s resurrection glory.

So the question is this: Are you removing the stone from stinking flesh or removing the stone from someone who is resurrected? It makes all the difference.

Remove the law from someone who is unsaved and not born again, and you will see lawlessness. But remove the law from someone who is saved and born again, and you will see resurrection life and glory!

“So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.’”
— Galatians 3:10 NKJV

“of faith are blessed . . . of the works of the law are under the curse” — The moment you try to earn or deserve your blessings and sanctification, inwardly you are fighting and standing on the law, which brings the curse. But those who believe by faith that they have received all these blessings because of grace get to enjoy the blessed life.

Jesus promised life more and more abundantly (John 10:10). It is through receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness (Rom. 5:17) that you will reign in life. This is a life that is fulfilling, a life you are satisfied with.

This is what Paul said when he pronounced a double curse on those who preached any other gospel aside from the gospel of grace:

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”
— Galatians 1:6–9

“the grace of Christ . . . a different gospel . . . the gospel of Christ” — The gospel of Christ is the gospel of His grace. Grace is not a different gospel, but the true gospel. Whatever is not of the grace of Christ is not the gospel of grace but a different gospel.

Grace is not heresy. Heresy is preaching that everyone is saved without accepting Christ. In order to receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we must first receive Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.

GOD WANTS US TO LIVE UNDER HIS PROVISION AND HIS GRACE.

Jeremiah 17 presents the difference between a cursed life and a blessed life:

“Thus says the Lord:
‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.

Good morning

nnamdiosu:
In the world we live in, people say that technology and the internet has made the world a global village.

Surprisingly, this isn't. YET true.
The world isnt yet a global village. We humans are yet to see a global village. Honestly.

There are some technology that will not come out till after the rapture. These technology are so awesome that mankind will marvel.

There are technology that are hidden by so many countries that if they came out now, there will be riots.

All of these technology are aimed at two things. Spying on people and intense mind controlling.
These tech will merge the world together, especially with the use of virtual reality tech.


I saw that telecommunications/media/TV/radio WILL BE COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER BY THE ANTI CHRIST. (ACTUALLY IT STARTED FROM THE GATEWAY YEAR, 2020).

Therefore combined with satellites and drones, TV/radios that spied on people, cameras that were placed everywhere...it was hard for people to exist without being caught by the authorities for not accepting the mark of the beast.

Very nice bro. I am following.

Anointing Oil For Healing And Protection
OFFICIAL JOSEPH PRINCE SERMON NOTES
Anointing Oil For Healing And Protection
Sunday, 16 February 2020

These are notes on the sermon, Anointing Oil For Healing And Protection, preached by Pastor Joseph Prince on Sunday, 16 February 2020, at The Star Performing Arts Centre, Singapore. We hope these sermon notes will be an encouragement to you!

Overview

1. Introduction: Everywhere you go, divine protection covers you like a shield

2. The anointing oil speaks of blessing, fruitfulness, and health for God’s people

3. No evil, no disease, no harm can come near God’s anointed

4. Use the anointing oil to activate your faith for God’s healing and protection

5. Speak forth God’s life-giving promises into your life

6. Closing Prayer

Introduction: Everywhere you go, divine protection covers you like a shield

During times of trial in the world, where disease and viruses threaten to instill a spirit of fear in people, God wants us to know that we do not have to yield to fear.

Instead, God wants us to be at peace and at rest.

“And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.”
— Romans 16:20 NKJV

“God of peace” — This is one of God’s names: “Jehovah Shalom.” It means “God of peace” in Hebrew.

While we walk in wisdom and take the necessary precautions, it is important that we do not place our trust in natural things, but that we have faith and be at peace in knowing that the Lord protects us and our families wherever we go.

Instead of allowing fear to dictate our every move, let us continue to place our entire trust in God and claim His abundant promises of protection.

VIDEO: An animation video of the theme of the year, Time & Space, is shown on the screen. The video shows illustrations of the Temple of Solomon.

There are three chambers in Solomon’s temple.

Recap of the three chambers:

First floor chamber—contains the grain, the wine, and the oil, which speak of provision.

Second floor chamber—contains the resting quarters of the priests, which speak of rest.

Third floor chamber—contains gold and silver, which speak of God’s abundant blessings and the greatest riches of knowing the Lord Jesus.

The three chambers are a visual representation of how our year will be.

God assures us that as the year continues, He will supply the provision we need, bring us to a position of rest, and promote us to a place of blessings.

At this time of the year, we are in the place of the grain, the wine, and the oil, which are stored in the first floor chamber.

The grain and the wine speak of the holy Communion elements. The oil speaks of anointing oil. The three always come together; they are not separate.

In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Lord has provided us with the grain, the wine, and the oil.

VIDEO: A video excerpt from a sermon dating back to 19 August 2018 is shown on screen. It shows Pastor Prince prophesying a new strain of flu-like virus and how God has already released a new “strain” of healing among His people.

There is no need to worry, for God is always ahead of the devil. The devil plays catch up to God, not the other way around.

“The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.”
— 1 Kings 6:6 NKJV

“The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide” — The world’s space may be getting restricted, but the Lord is going to increase our space. A tight space is a picture of difficulty and stress. A broad space is a picture of deliverance and victory. Our Lord, who controls time and space, will increase us from five cubits, to six cubits, to seven cubits wide.

THERE IS NO NEED TO BE AFRAID, EVEN WHEN DANGER SURROUNDS YOU. YOU ARE PROTECTED FROM DANGER THAT YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW OF!

While we exercise wisdom when carrying out our daily affairs, we can stand firm in God’s protection, knowing that even if a thousand fall at our side, and ten thousand at our right hand, it shall not come near us (see Ps. 91:7).

We can do all we can, but only God can truly protect us and keep us in all our ways.

“For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
— Psalm 91:11–12 NKJV

“Lest you dash your foot against a stone” — As you walk daily, you cannot foresee the oncoming dangers and pestilences, but God will keep you from even tripping over a stone.

“Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you.”
— Luke 10:19 NKJV

“trample on serpents and scorpions” — To trample on something means that you are out walking, but you do not see the danger coming your way. God will always make sure the devil is below your feet. As you go about your own way, walking with God, you will trample on the serpents and scorpions.

Psalm 91 describes it this way:

“You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.”
— Psalm 91:13 NKJV

“nothing shall by any means hurt you” — The word “nothing” in Greek has a double negative emphasis. No thing, no means, in any way, can hurt you. This is how much God reassures us that nothing can ever hurt us!

VIDEO: A dashcam video is played on screen. It shows how God protected a brother in our church from an oncoming accident.

As finite, limited human beings, we cannot guarantee our protection. What we can do is simply have faith and believe God’s truth that nothing can hurt us.

Let us learn to give thanks daily to God for the things we do not realize He has protected us from.

The anointing oil speaks of blessing, fruitfulness, and health for God’s people

In heaven, there is no sickness, no disease, no lack. Just as it is in heaven, God intends the same for us on earth—to be in health and to prosper in all things (see 3 John 1:2).

In these perilous times, God has ordained that we be delivered and protected by means of the grain and the wine (the holy Communion) and the oil (the anointing oil). It is time to release our faith and enjoy the benefits that He has promised us!

Not only can you use the anointing oil on yourself and your family, but you can also anoint your car, your house, your belongings, etc. Whatever you anoint is set apart and covered by God’s protection and blessing.

Using the anointing oil is not superstition. The oil itself has no power.

It is a symbol of Jesus’ finished work and God never despises symbols of what His Son has done. When you apply it with the revelation of what Jesus accomplished for you at the cross, you will see God’s power move in your situation.

Back in the time when Jesus was on earth with His disciples, they went around using the anointing oil when they prayed for healing for the sick.

“So they went out and preached that people should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.”
— Mark 6:12–13 NKJV

“anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them” — Wherever the oil went, sickness turned into health.

The power of the anointing oil is still relevant today, even after Jesus’ death and resurrection. How do we know this?

The book of James says:

“Is anyone among you sick? 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. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
— James 5:14–15 NKJV

“Is anyone among you sick? ... let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord” — This was done in the church age, which we are currently in. When we anoint ourselves or others with the oil today, we do it in our Lord’s name.

Even though it might seem “too simple” to have any effect, let’s honor what God has ordained for our healing and deliverance. When we use the anointing oil in Jesus’ name, it will only result in blessing upon blessing.

“And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock. And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.”
— Deuteronomy 7:13–15 NKJV

“fruit of your womb” — The fruit of your womb refers to your children.

“fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil” — This is the fruit of your land, where there shall be increase in your grain, your wine and your oil, and you will be blessed above all peoples.

“there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock” — Instead of barrenness, God has promised you fruitfulness in every area of your life. This blessing is for you if you are believing God for a child or an advancement in your career.

Although the devil attempts to bring the spirit of Egypt (stress and lack) into our lives, God wants to give us a land flowing with milk and honey where provision is all around us.

When we walk with the Holy Spirit, and not by our flesh, we will surely see provision and His blessings abound in our lives. He has blessed us more than we realize!

No evil, no disease, no harm can come near God’s anointed

Pastor Prince shares a testimony from a sister who experienced God’s divine protection from snakes during a work trip. He also shares a testimony from a brother who was protected from a bomb blast while overseas.

Only God can order our steps to be at the right place at the right time and be divinely protected from harm.

He will cover us with His feathers, and we can take refuge under His wings (see Ps. 91:4–6). There, we find safety.

If you are afraid, meditate on the promises of protection found in Psalm 91.

“And the priest the son Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.”
— Nehemiah 10:38–39 KJV

“the corn, of the new wine and the oil” — Everything we need this year, the Lord has provided in the grain, the wine, and the oil.

“not forsake the house of our God” — The house of God is not the physical building of the church. The house of God is the gathering of believers. That’s why we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves.

There is power in corporate anointing (when all of us come together as a church).


Use the anointing oil to activate your faith for God’s healing and protection

In our area of affliction or struggle, God wants us to physically apply the anointing oil on ourselves, for the power of God will flow when you exercise your faith in this way.

Pastor Prince shares a testimony from a woman whose daughter was completely healed of eczema on her heels after the family applied the anointing oil on that area. The anointing oil was God’s means of bringing the breakthrough after years of futility trying to find a cure for her skin condition.

Similarly, when we use the anointing oil, we will see symptoms and problems flee in the name of our Lord Jesus.

Pastor Prince shares a personal testimony of how he used the anointing oil around the perimeter of his daughter’s bedroom to keep bees out when she was very young, and how the family woke up the next day to see a line of dead bees along the threshold where they had put the oil.

There is a correlation between the anointing oil and the blood of Jesus.

In Leviticus, the priests of the temple were anointed with blood on the right ear, on the right thumb, and on the right toe. On these exact places, they were also anointed with oil.

This signified that whatever they heard, whatever they did, and wherever they went, would be blessed.

Today, we don’t apply blood on ourselves because Jesus’ blood is already on us spiritually because of His sacrifice. But we apply the anointing oil as a symbol of His blood and to activate our faith to release His blood-bought blessings.

“and the Lord said to him, ‘Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within.’”
— Ezekiel 9:4 NKJV

“put a mark on the foreheads” — If you do not know where to apply the anointing oil on, you can anoint your forehead. The Hebrew word for “mark” is “tav,” which is the picture of a cross.

When David was young, he was anointed as king with physical anointing oil and he became a giant-slayer.

Wherever David went, he was a blessing. Before that, he was not noticed even in his own house. However, after he was anointed, God brought him to the palace and made him king. God brought him to a place where no one could touch or harm him.

“He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
Saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
— Psalm 105:14–15 NKJV

“Do not touch My anointed ones” — In this context, the anointed ones refer to God’s people, you and I. The disease or virus cannot touch us.

WHEN THE OIL COMES ON YOU, YOU BECOME ANOINTED AND PROTECTED.

While we are all anointed in Christ, God is teaching us how to draw from His storehouse (the first floor chamber).

God protects us from what we cannot see, like the COVID-19 virus.

Pastor Prince shares a fresh testimony from a woman who was protected from the COVID-19 virus despite being in contact with someone who was infected. She and her family have cleared the quarantine period and are unharmed.

Pastor Prince shares the revelation behind the Hebrew word for “oil” which is “shemen.”

It is a picture of Jesus who was pressed and crushed for our sakes.

THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE UNCONDITIONAL.

The first mention of oil is found in Genesis, in Jacob’s story. This is where God shows up as a God of grace.

Background: Jacob was running from home because he had just cheated his father and brother of the firstborn blessing. He came to a place called Bethel, where he rested for the night. There, God gave him a dream where he saw a staircase to heaven and angels ascending up and down on it. The staircase is a picture of Jesus Himself (see John 1:51); because of Him we can receive blessings from heaven.

“Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.’ And he was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!’ Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil (‘shemen’) on top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.”
— Genesis 28:16–19 NKJV

“poured oil (‘shemen’) on top of it” — Jacob anointed the pillar he slept on. This is the first mention of oil in the Bible.

“Bethel” — The word “bethel” means “house of God.”

The oil is always tied up with the house of God.

Pastor Prince shares how he asked the Lord to show him in the Word that the anointing oil is really something that the Lord wants His people to use at this time. And the Lord brought him to Psalm 91.

“Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;”
— Psalm 91:9–10 NKJV

“your dwelling place” — The oil is always found in the house of God. When you make the house of God your dwelling place, no evil can befall you.

All the promises of God are found in the house of God. The house of God is you and I coming together where there is a corporate anointing. There is power in the church gathering together as one.

Pastor Prince explains the codes that God has weaved into the Bible and reveals that the Hebrew word for oil, which is “shemen,” can be found in Psalm 91:9.



When you put the oil on something, it becomes the house of God—protected from all evil, all plagues, all harm.

So learn to anoint yourself, your house, and your family. When God’s anointing comes on you by the anointing oil, you are set apart.

Speak forth God’s life-giving promises into your life

This year 2020 in the Hebrew calendar is the year 5780.

Pastor Prince shares the revelation behind the meaning of the last decade 5770 and the new decade 5780.

In the Hebrew calendar, only the last two numbers are taken into account, i.e. 70 and 80 for the last two decades.

In Hebrew, the letters of the alphabet also have a numerical value attached to them.

‘70’ — The Hebrew word for ‘70’ is “ayin,” which means “eye.” It was the decade where we saw many of God’s blessings come to pass.

‘80’ — The Hebrew word for ‘80’ is “peh,” which means “mouth.” This is the decade where God wants us to speak forth by faith the blessings that we want to see in our lives.

Today, when Jewish people say ‘80’, they say the Hebrew word, “shemonim”, which also contains the Hebrew word for “oil” in it. In essence, this is the year of the oil.

Pastor Prince closes the service by praying over the bottles of oil that the congregation has brought to be set apart as anointing oil.

Closing Prayer

“Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up this oil before You, Lord, and in and of itself it is just oil. But we ask You in the name of Jesus, Father, anoint this oil. Anoint this oil that we are holding in our hands, Father, and make it Lord, the holy anointing oil consecrated for your purposes, Father, destined to bring glory to the name of Jesus Christ.

Father, we ask in Jesus’ name, wherever this oil is applied, Father, we ask that sickness will turn into wholeness, health and life. Even the dead will be raised, Father. In the name of Jesus, we ask Lord, wherever this oil is applied, failure will turn to success, barrenness will turn into fruitfulness. Lord, we pray that wherever it is applied, we pray that in the name of Jesus, in the darkness there will be light come forth and it will spring forth speedily, Lord. Wherever it is applied, Father, in the name of Jesus we thank You, there’s protection, there’s provision, and there’s restoration.

In the name of Jesus, and Father, glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, not the oil, but glorify the Lord Jesus Christ wherever it is applied, Father. In the name of Jesus we ask, and all the people say, Amen.”
