The Anointing Oil

 The Anointing Oil

The anointing oil pictures the Holy Spirit. The sweet smelling formula used to create the mixture speaks of the personality and presence of Christ in the believer produced by the Holy Spirit. The formula was not to be altered. It was also not to be poured out upon the flesh. Man in the natural state (the flesh) is not compatible with the Holy Spirit. 

Works Of The Flesh

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
