The Oil of Jesus

---

In the Bible , lamps were used with Olive oil in them to provide light.

The process of gaining the oil was to put the olives under great pressure, from this pressure came the ability to shine the light.

King David writes the process of gaining oil in Psalms 141.

[Psalm 141:5 KJV] Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.

Moses also gave indication of the need of "pure oil" to keep our lamps burning.

[Exodus 27:20 KJV] And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

Now Jesus shows us himself, under great pressure in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed fervently to the Father.

Gethsemane means:

The name is derived from the Aramaic ܓܕܣܡܢ (Gaḏ-Šmānê), meaning "oil press"

[Matthew 26:36 KJV] Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

[Matthew 26:38 KJV] Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

[Matthew 26:39 KJV] And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].

Likewise in the book of Luke , it shows how much immense agony Jesus was under.

[Luke 22:42 KJV] Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

[Luke 22:43 KJV] And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

[Luke 22:44 KJV] And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God the Father was under immense burden & pressure, praying intensely to the Father showing us the Oil he was producing for everyones Salvation.

In a location that translates to "Oil Press" ..........

The "Oil" causes the lamp to burn always.

This revelation exposes a different layer to the 10 Virgins parable.

[Matthew 25:1 KJV] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

[Matthew 25:2 KJV] And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.

[Matthew 25:3 KJV] They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

[Matthew 25:4 KJV] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Oil we must gain by tribulation 🙏♥️

Tribulation is our personal journey towards the Lord.

Squeezing, refining , purging so that the pure oil can shine our lamps for Christ. 🙏♥️🔥✝️🐏🌈🎶
