Meditate On
Are any of you sick? You should call for
the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in
the name of the Lord.
James 5:14, NLT
He
Was Crushed For Your Wholeness
Why does the Bible talk about anointing the
sick with oil? Is there something magical about the holy anointing oil? No, my
friend. When we anoint our sick bodies with oil, we are simply releasing our
faith in Jesus’ finished work. He was crushed for our iniquities so that we can
be made whole.
Before anointing oil can be made, olive
fruit must be crushed in a press. Likewise, before healing can be dispensed to
us, Jesus had to be crushed. His crushing began at Gethsemane, which means “oil
press”, and continued at the scourging post, ending only with His death at the
cross.
Beloved, whenever you use the
yoke-destroying anointing oil (Isaiah 10:27), see Jesus crushed for your
healing. See the agony that He endured in order for His healing grace to be
righteously bestowed upon you. As you meditate on His finished work, you’ll
receive the benefits of His complete and perfect work!
