Too many Christians today walk around buffeted by uncontrollable impulses, drowning in guilt and totally defeated. They pray, commit, surrender, read the Word, say all the right words, and still can't seem to live a victorious life. If that sounds familiar, then you might find some answers here.

Blood of Jesus, continued

Oil Applied as the Blood

Lev 14:17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:

Lev 14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

These two verses show the oil being applied in the same manner as the blood on someone being "cleansed". In the first deliverance session I was involved in was quite intense (read "very") I felt the Holy Spirit direct me to apply a touch of oil to the person undergoing deliverance.

The reaction was absolutely astonishing! The moment the oil touched the flesh, the spirits in the person reared up and screamed, then rushed to the sink to wash off the oil. But within a few moments the spirit resisting was expelled.

Yes, the Name of Jesus is the authority that delivers, but the oil symbolizes the Blood which was shed for redeemption, healing and deliverance.
