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!
