Oil Poured Over Me
I was in a meeting and during worship time this encounter with two angels occurred , I was tired from lifting my arms up, I had been worshipping for a while, so I had them at my sides, I remember saying to the Lord I would like to worship you but I'm just so tired... next moment (while my eyes were closed) two people (I thought) grabbed my arms on either side of me, the power and anointing on my body got really strong (felt like electricity flooded my body)... as soon as it happened while my eyes were still closed I remember thinking who are these people who just grabbed me, they have incredibly strong anointing on them!!!
So I opened my eyes to see them and there was no one there... I could still feel them holding me, I straight away I realised they must be angels... it was intense... I could literally feel their feathers brushing against my body (so I know they have feathers), they proceeded to lift my arms into the air, (I figured they must be helping me worship God, so I didn't resist them) then I began to feel garments being put on me, silk clothing covering me, something went over my shoulders and something on my head , some gloves (don't ask me to prove the gloves in the Bible, I can't, the closest I've found about them is where it says the armour is on the left hand and the right) went on my hands (my hands felt like they were white hot, it was incredibly painful, burning all over them). Also felt like millions of ants were on my neck... there were many spiritual feelings on my body, most I can't even remember now, there was lots of anointing accompanying all of this...
They proceeded to then pour warm oil over my head, heaps of it, gallons I imagine, it went everywhere, over my face, shoulders etc and made a beard on my chin... (strange I know)
It was unforgettable...
After this happened I noticed oil used to come out of my hands during worship, only if the anointing in the worship was strong. It still happens now, actually it happened yesterday morning during my personal worship time. And it seems its transferable, when I prayed with the oil on my hands on someone, they started experiencing the same.
To put this in context, you have to understand I wasn't praying for this to happen to me, didn't know it could (I had heard about the oil on peoples hands, and probably prayed for it knowing me). I was just worshipping my God. I believe that its important to remain focussed on the Lord and seeking His face, He will no doubt pour heavens glory upon us, its what happens, but the importance is Him...
I felt the Lord rebuke me recently... that I was seeking Him and spending time with Him so I could have more anointing for ministry, so I could get more well known. That I wasn't spending time with Him because I wanted to be with Him, but because I wanted to use Him for my own goals. This was a upsetting revelation to me and deeply grieves me that I was acting and thinking that way.
The most important thing is intimacy with the Lord, and being able to minister and love Him is such a great honour. How disgusting I felt after realising I was trying to get close to Him so I could get stuff for ministry.
We are to love what He gives us of course, because He is the giver... and He wants us to earnestly seek spiritual gifts, that is not in question, but what is important I believe for me anyway is what is my motives when I worship Him and spend time with Him.
