The Anointing Breaks The Yoke

By Pastor Juliana T Akinbami
Isaiah 10:27 “It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.”

 

The Significance of Anointing Oils in Breaking Yokes

Anointing oils have been used for centuries as a tool for spiritual warfare in our Christian walk. These oils are not just ordinary oils; they are consecrated and set apart for a specific purpose. In the Bible, anointing oils were used to symbolize the presence of the Holy Spirit and to break the yokes of bondage.

“The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil” (Isaiah 10:27, KJV).

When we anoint ourselves or others with these oils, we are declaring our faith in God’s power to break every chain that binds us. Just as David was anointed with oil and went on to defeat Goliath, we too can conquer our giants with the power of God working through us. “Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward” (1 Samuel 16:13, NKJV).

Anointing oils are a tangible reminder of God’s presence in our lives. When we anoint ourselves with these oils, we are inviting the Holy Spirit to work in and through us. “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you” (1 John 2:27, NKJV).

In times of spiritual warfare, anointing oils is a powerful weapon against the enemy. When we anoint ourselves with these oils, we are declaring our allegiance to God and our trust in His power to overcome all obstacles. The enemy cannot stand against the anointing of God, and when we use these oils in faith, we can be assured of victory in every battle.
“Is anyone among you sick? 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” (James 5:14, NKJV).

In conclusion, anointing oils play a vital role in breaking the yokes of bondage. As we use these oils in faith and obedience, we will experience the freedom and victory that God has promised us.
This is a promise: “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound” (Isaiah 61:1, NKJV).
Let us continue to rely on the power of anointing oil, knowing that God’s presence and protection are with us every step of the way.

Prayer of Gratitude for the Power of the Holy Spirit through Anointing Oil

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and praise. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of the Holy Spirit who dwells within me and empowers me daily. I am deeply grateful for the anointing oil, a powerful symbol of Your presence and a conduit of Your divine power.

Lord, I thank You for the miracles, healings, and breakthroughs that have occurred through the use of anointing oil. Just as David was anointed and strengthened to defeat Goliath, I, too, have experienced Your mighty hand delivering me from my challenges and battles. I praise You for every yoke that has been broken, every burden lifted, and every chain shattered because of Your anointing.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for filling me with Your presence and working through the anointing oil. It is a tangible reminder of Your faithfulness and the authority You have given me as a believer. I am grateful for the comfort, guidance, and protection You provide as I walk in obedience to Your word.

I honour and exalt You, Lord, for the anointing that destroys yokes and sets captives free. Thank You for Your unwavering love and for the freedom and victory I have in You. May I always remember the significance of the anointing oil and use it with reverence, faith, and expectation.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.

2. Prayer of Consecration Over the Anointing Oil

(Get your anointing oil, and pray over it)
Heavenly Father,

I come before You in humility and reverence, acknowledging Your greatness and sovereignty. I thank You for the provision of anointing oil as a symbol of Your Holy Spirit’s presence and power in my life.

Lord, I now consecrate this oil before You. I set it apart for Your holy purposes, dedicating it to be used for Your glory. I ask that You bless and sanctify this oil, making it a vessel of Your divine power and grace.

As I use this oil, may it be a tangible representation of Your presence. Let it be a tool through which Your Spirit works mightily, bringing healing, deliverance, and breakthrough to me and to those who are anointed with it. I pray that Your anointing will destroy every yoke, lift every burden, and bring freedom to the captives.

Holy Spirit, I invite You to fill this oil with Your power and presence. Let it be a conduit of Your miraculous works, a symbol of Your guidance, and a reminder of my faith and commitment to You. As I anoint myself and members of my family (or the symbols representing members of my family), May everyone that I anoint with this oil experience a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit, receiving strength, deliverance, breakthroughs, comfort, and renewal.

I dedicate this oil in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit Amen

Do what only You can do through this oil.

In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray.

Amen.

Instructions: For every prayer, point, anoint yourself afresh. Pray these prayers over members of your family. If they are with you, you can anoint them, but if they are not with you, then get pictures (make copies if you can) or anything that you can use as a point of contact).

Secondly, there is a short version of each prayer and an expanded version. You can choose whichever works for you. Use the short version if you know you have the verbiage to work the prayer point or pray in tongues.
