Make anointing oil
Note: Anointing oil serves as a symbolic tool used by God, but it is not the Holy Spirit itself. If you believe that prayers and the act of casting out demons and unclean spirits will be ineffective without it, or if you treat the oil as if it holds the Holy Spirit within it, you risk turning the oil into an idol. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, elevating the oil to an idol status constitutes idolatry, which is considered a sin in the Bible.
Remember: When we are born again in Christ we are filled with the Holy Spirit. This is when the annointing is bestowed upon us. When we recieve the annointing we recieve authority over all evil, an annointing so powerful that we can move mountains because everything is possible through faith in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.
Where should I get the oil?
You can use olive oil you have available in your pantry, or purchase some from your local grocery store. If you plan to use some of the olive oil for cooking, set aside some oilve oil in a clean separate bottle specifically for annointing oil use. The annointing oil should not be used for cooking so it’s important to separate your annointing oil from olive oil you’ll use for cooking. You do not need to use your annointing oil every time you pray, just when you feel compelled or led to use the oil.
How to prepare olive oil
Open the top of the olive oil and worship God.
Listen to worship music and sing your heart out. Praise God and create an atmosphere that welcomes and invited God into the room.
When you feel the Holy Spirit in the room you can say this prayer:
Holy Spirit I come to you in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, I recognize that all power and every anointing originate from You. I ask that You bless this anointing oil for my prayers over myself, my family, friends, my home, and others. I pray that it serves as a vessel of Your love and mercy towards us. I also see it as a symbol of Your protection over my family and home, representing the blood of Jesus that covers us. I understand that this oil is powerless until You rest upon it and make it Holy. Therefore, I ask You to dwell in it and sanctify it. I dedicate it solely for Your work, Lord. Thank You for blessing it and filling it with Your Spirit. Guide me whenever I am to use this oil. I pray that in the spiritual realm, it is recognized as a symbol of Your Presence.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Continue to praise the Lord and thank him for blessing the oil. Once God has blessed it, you have annointing oil! You do not need to say this prayer every time before using the annointing oil. Once the oil is blessed it stays blessed, unless it starts being used in an idolatrous way. Remember that it’s not the oil that is at work but the power of the Holy Spirit using the oil as a tool to aid you while using the annointing oil.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
