“Moreover, the Lord said to Moses, Take the best spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, of sweet scented cinnamon half as much, 250 shekels, of calamus, 250 shekels, and of cassia 500 shekels, in terms of the sanctuary shekel, and of olive oil a hin. And you shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the Perfumer; it shall be a sacred anointing oil.”

Just as this very anointing oil was used to anoint Aaron and his sons for priestly service to the Lord, we too as Kings and priests unto God (Rev. 5:10), having confessed Jesus Christ as Lord are able to experience the blessings of this anointing oil.

According to the precepts set forth in the Lord’s instructions to Moses, it shall be held sacred and therefore should not be used on any outside of the Household of Faith.
