Meditate On
But the Lord was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to
grief…
Isaiah 53:10, NASB
Crushed
For Our Total Well-Being
How is holy anointing oil produced? By crushing olives in
an oil press to extract the oil. This is a beautiful picture of the crushing of
our Lord Jesus, which began in the Garden of Gethsemane. “Gethsemane” literally
means “oil press.”
The Bible tells us that Jesus was pierced for our
transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought
us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
Jesus came to be crushed for us. He came to be bruised,
scourged and pierced. Why? So that all that He is—health, life, wholeness,
abundance, fruitfulness, grace, goodness—can flow out like golden oil into our
lives!
My friend, whenever you use the holy anointing oil for
healing, provision or protection, remember that Jesus has already been crushed
for your total well-being. See the work as completely finished and enter into
rest. That’s how you receive your victory!
