Anointment with Oil

The anointment of oil has been a sacred form of communication in the church for a long time. It has a very powerful spiritual meaning to it. The preacher usually uses the anointment of oil on those individuals who seek the Father and come to him with an open heart. The preacher would put the oil on his finger and draw a cross on the forehead of the individual, while it represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is used for protection and to help cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. I was anointed when i was first born into the church and I have recently been anointed by my Brother Tom who prayed with me and was there for me. The power is so strong I felt at ease almost immediately. The concept itself is very interesting to me, and I might further look into it for myself to get an even better understanding.
