How to Bless Your House

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In the Bible when there was a need for protection and guidance it was tradition to annoint the persons head with oil. Usually this was done to Kings to verify God had sent them to be ruler over the land. In the past pastors of the Chruch would bless a persons house prior to them moving in so that God would allow the home to be blessed and not allow for unclean things or evil spirits to come in. This can also be done today.

Things You'll Need

• Extra virgin olive oil
• Prayer time with a true beliver and minister of God. (If you are strong in the faith you will not need a pastor to pray over it with you.)

Instructions

1. When moving into a new house or preparing to bless a house you reside in. There is importance in first praying and giving thanks to God for allowing you to have the property.

2. 

   Take the bottle of oil to a pastor and ask him to bless the oil. 1 Samuel 16:13 says "So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power". If you are going to bless the oil yourself you must be at peace in your spirit and pray that God will allow use the oil and every place it touches to allow for peace, prosperity, love, and everything that is good and pleasing to Him be blessed through the oil. Also pray that anything the oil touches will cause all evil, demons, and anything that goes against the word of God to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Continue to pray as the Lord leads you over the oil.

3. The oil should put on your hands and fingers and write a cross on your forehead, all walls of the house, the door posts, windows, the floor, the bathtub, door handles, and your car. All the places you want God to bless, protect, and provide. "Now my eyes will be open [says the Lord] and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there for all time". 2 Chronicles 7:15

4. Praise God and Thank him for the blessings that will come through his divine inspiration.

Tips & Warnings

• Recognize there is no "power" in the oil but God's provision through the oil.

• If God placed it on your heart to anoint your house do it quickly.

• Obedience is better than sacrifice, listen to God when he speaks so that he will bless you...stop being disobedient.

• As a Christian you will have trials and tribulations. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance" James 1:2-3

• God wants the best for your life, therefore past the test so you may have joy.
