Still More On Anointing With Oil

Q

I would like to know about the anointing with oil? Can I put the oil on my car and house and pray for blessing as well?

A

I have seen oil used in blessing ceremonies for objects like homes and offices and to mark them as being off limits to the enemy. In cases of vehicles, I’ve seen it used for invoking traveling mercies before a trip of some kind. I think this is done more in circles where anointing with oil is a common practice for prayers, blessings and consecration. We have to be careful to remember that the oil is only a symbol. The power is in our prayers.
