YES! Olive oil is the most common to use when anointing your home. Anointing with oil is a biblical practice that symbolizes God's presence, healing and blessing. It's also a physical act of faith and providing a physical barrier around your home to welcome in the Holy Spirit. I always explain to my kids it's like we are putting up a boundary line the enemy has no right to come near my family! Does that sound familiar? The song Mighty Name of Jesus explains the authority and power we have over spiritual enemies through Jesus Christ! Luke 10:19 What oil do I use when anointing the home? Personally, I use an olive oil blend with Frankincense and myrrh. Why? Not only are these biblical resins, but it held a symbolic meaning, honoring Jesus as King, Priest & sacrifice. Frankincense - symbolizes prayer, intercession and the presence of God Myrrh - represents purification, healing and consecration. While any oil is able to be used, I have used anything that I had on hand. Our God is always with us (Emmanuel). Our God is a present God, a loving God, a mighty God and the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords. I just pray over the oil that I will be using, and tell God to use this oil and cleanse and purify my home.

Reading Psalm 91 daily out loud over your home is key! I personally feel like this adds more protection around my home and keeps me aligned with the living word and God. Psalm 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
