Anointing

Anointing is something we do not need from anyone else. You can anoint yourself or anyone around  you by following God's instruction and having faith in following those instructions. You can take olive oil and ask God to bless it in obedience to Him and then use that oil to anoint yourself, a loved one, your home for a healing, guidance, direction...

James 5:14 Is any sick among you? 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:

We are the church! If you do not have a church you attend know that where two or more are gathered together, there also is Christ with you. We are the many membered body of Christ (the church in Christ). Matthew 18:20 & Romans 12:5

Deuteronomy 28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

Don't be confused here as this verse is among many in this chapter discussing how the Israelites will not be doing what they should. What we should be doing is using the olive oil to anoint. 

We have power over Satan and can rebuke him in Christ's name as well as anoint in Christ's name for protection. Luke 10:17-20 & Romans 12:21

It is the faith by which we pray and anoint that provides the healing through Christ. An example of such healing by faith is found in Matthew 9:20-22. Christ said here that "thy faith hath made thee whole."
