Hi everyone, if you are mentally or physically ill you may want to start doing this- you can anoint yourself with oil for healing every day, I have been doing this and it has helped me tremendously! I have been miraculously healed several times doing this, this has saved me from going to the hospital a number of times! I have schizophrenia, there were times when I was so profoundly mentally ill I was about to go to the ER but I anointed myself for healing and I was healed, didn't have to go!

If you don't have any anointing oil you can make your own, just get some olive oil and put it in a cup, then lay your hands on the cup and pray for God's power and anointing to be on it for it to become anointing oil, then you can use it! There were times when I made some oil and then I put it on me and it burned, something supernatural happened!

Do you ascribe your healing to the oil, to the act of anointing yourself, or to God? If to God, why not just pray? I cannot think of any instance in the bible where Christians are told to anoint themselves to be healed. There is a verse in James that talks of calling for the elders of the church:

(Jas 5:14) Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

But that is not the person who is ill anointing themselves, and anyway, it is only done after prayer. Some commentators I've read think that oil was used medicinally back then.
