How do I anoint someone?
We get LOTS of questions. We always love to get them because then we know people are learning and growing in the LORD. This question was “how do I anoint someone?”
The word “anoint” means “to rub or to smear”. Many people interpret that different ways and there is really no “correct” way to actually apply the oil. Some dab it on the forehead, some form the sign of the cross, some pour (not too popular with the ladies when they are wearing nice clothes!), some put it on the hands. Some anoint themselves as well as others on their hands and feet.
The main thing is the heart attitude with which it is done. The LORD says in James that we must pray in faith when we use the oils believing and trusting in HIM alone. The different fragrances are our own choice and have nothing to do with the type of prayer or the answer we are seeking from God.
So, we suggest you see what method you feel the most comfortable with and begin in faith. You will learn as you go and we are confident God will bless you as you are obedient to Him in prayer.
