BIBLICAL WAY TO ANOINT yourself & HOME
ANOINTING STRATEGIES
The Word Oil came about from the word Olive. This is because original oil is olive oil, (Exo 27:20).
Though anointing someone with oil may be as simple as putting oil on a part of the body [most likely the forehead], there are strategies revealed in scriptures concerning the use of Anointing Oil.
First, Scriptures revealed that anointing is done by holding the bottle of Anointing Oil in your left hand, and you use your right thumb to anoint - Leviticus 14:16, “And the priest shall dip his "right finger" in the oil that is in "his left hand", and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:”

The word anoint means "to smear"; to put Oil all over the face. Let's look at few scriptures.
Psalms 104:15, "and oil makes his face shine". A person's face can only shine with oil if he passes oil all over his face.
In traditional Churches, most people would put few drops of oil atop the head or a thumbprint of oil on the forehead; this is a modern religious way of anointing; it is not the way of anointing according to ancient Jewish methods.

PERSONAL ANOINTING
ANOINTING THE BIG TOES
Exodus 29:20, "Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon...", "...and upon the great toe of their right foot,"
Leviticus 8:23, "And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot".
Your big toes represent the firmness of your stance and balance. As in the natural, so in the spirit.
In ancient kingdoms, the kings would cut off the thumbs and big toes of kings that they overpowered and captured. Judges 1:6, “And [king] Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes”.
Judges 1:7, “And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to be gathering scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has repaid me”.
They would also do the same to their captive warriors.
This was a strategy to render the person ineffective and useless in battle; unable to stand or have balance.
This is the same strategy the Demons use to render Christian warriors ineffective in the spirit. They cut off their big toes so that they would not have spiritual balance and good spiritual standing.
Therefore, when we anoint the big toes, we restore the person’s stability, stance and balance in the spirit.
Lev 14:17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot…”
Exodus 29:20, "Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon...", "...and upon the great toe of their right foot,"
Leviticus 8:23, "And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot".

Lev 14:17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot…”
ANOINTING THE THUMB
Exodus 29:20, "Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it... upon the thumb of their right hand,"
Leviticus 8:23, "And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot".
Your thumb is your firm grip on anything. If you do not have thumbs, you will not have a grip on anything.
In ancient time, the thumbs of kings and warriors who are captured would be cut off, in order to render them ineffective in battles.
As I said, demons do the same to Christians in order to render them useless in battle.
Spiritually, a person may seem to have no grip on things in his/her life. Therefore, anointing restores a person’s spiritual thumb.
Also, anointing the thumbs and big toes in not only to restore, but to prevent the enemies from neutralizing a person.
ANOINTING OF THE EAR
Exodus 29:20, "Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons,"
Leviticus 8:23, "And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot".
God said to anoint the Ear; this is to set a seal upon the Gate of your ear, to seal and protect your understanding, and to prevent the Devil from messing with your understanding.
Also, this is to prevent the demons from putting “Twisters” on your ears. Let me explain what a demonic twister is. A preacher would say, e.g. “the earth is round and green”. Everyone would hear, “the earth is round and green” but a person with a demonic twister would hear, “Jupiter is poor with wind”. This person would argue this is what the preacher said.
The Ears are to hear (Acts 28:27, “hear with their ears”) and are the Gates to your understanding. Understanding resides in your heart, (Acts 28:27, “understand with their heart”, Proverbs 2:2, “apply thine heart to understanding”)
Jesus said in Matthew 15:10, “Hear, and understand.”
Mark 7:14 says, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.”
Jesus connected the Ears gates with understanding and the heart, why? Because what goes into the ears goes into the heart. Therefore, what you hear can impart you negatively or positively.
There are other references to anointing the Ear, Thumb and big Toe.
Exodus 29:20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot,
Leviticus 8:23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
Exodus 29:20, "Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons,"

Leviticus 8:23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
POURING OIL ON THE HEAD
Ecclesiastes 9:8 says, "and let thy head lack no oil," but how do we apply this oil?
It's explained in Exodus 29:7, "Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him".
In addition to this, when the ancient men anointed the head, they would not pour a drop, but the oil would be poured to run down on the forehead and face and down to the body. A good example is in Psalms 133:2, "It is like fine [anointing] oil poured on the head which flows down the beard--Aaron's beard, and then flows down his garments".
When the oil is poured over your head, it is for authority. Also, when it runs down your face and body, it represent a total covering for you and your family. When the Oil ran down Aaron's head, down to his heard, and all the way to the hem of his robe, it represented the authoritative covering for all the children of Israel.
This was not a drop of oil; but and full horn.
This is why the woman had to touch the Hem of Jesus Garment, because Jesus was the High Priest like Aaron.
This anointing is mainly an "Ordination Anointing"; i.e. for Kings, Prophets, Priests or other ministerial offices.
Some people may say these things don't really matter, but when God establish a way or method, there is a reason and strategy to it. If we want to know to do things, we must go back to the Israelites ...

THE THREE ELEMENTS OF DIVINE AGREEMENT
Water, Blood and the Word
The Bible says, in 1John 5:8, "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood: and these three agree in one".
These 3 Elements are used in agreement with the Godhead in Heaven -1John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost (Godhead) and these three are One.
According to Apostle John, 3 things are used to manifest the power of God's Agreement/Covenant on Earth...
When you Mix Red wine, with Anointing oil and blessed Water..it is a symbol of Agreement between Heaven and Earth; also, it symbolizes the Father, Son and Spirit which are one. 1 John 5.
This mixture confirms the Agreement of God with your Spirit; and manifests the Covenant of God in our lives.
Praying over the Oil, Wine and Water will put the blessing on God upon them. This then can be used to drink, bless your home, person etc.
In everything, there are mysteries. Many of us read in John 19:34 that the Soldier pieced Jesus in his side, and out came blood and water, but we never stop to think, why blood and water from his side? These Two Elements came out of His side because these are the two elements by which he came into the World.
1 John 5:6, "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
Note, this Holy Water that I speak of, am I speaking about Holy water from the Catholic church? No!, however, the theory of Holy water did not originate from the Catholic Church itself, but it was taken from the Bible.
(The Catholic Church's Holy Water is demonic..Demons pee in the water that they use.)
Holy Water is spoken about in Numbers 5:17, "And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:"

- WATER which represents Life and the Word; -(Called Holy water in Numbers 5:17).
- THE BLOOD- which is represented by Red Wine- (Mark 14 and 1 Corinthians 11).
- THE HOLY SPIRIT- which is represented by Holy Oil (Anointing Oil), - (Mark:6:13).

HOW TO ANOINT SOMEONE FOR MINISTRY
The true Hebrew way of anointing someone for ministry is using a Ram's Horn filled with Oil.
Anointing someone for ministry have been a spiritual point of contact, used in both Old and New Testament.
However, anointing for ordination in the Bible was done by pouring Oil upon the head using either a "Bottle of Oil" or a "Horn of Oil"; both objects having a different spiritual meaning, and will determine what kind of anointing the person will receive.
We see this is the Ordination of King Saul and King David.
Saul was anointed king by Samuel using a "Bottle" and not a Horn. 1 Samuel 10:1, "Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on Saul's head"
But we see in the Ordination of David, when he was anointed king, he was anointed by Samuel using a Horn. 1 Samuel 16:13, "Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward".
Most churches are using a "Bottle" of Oil, which I will tell you has a spiritual meaning behind it.
When we look at the life and end result of Saul and David, they both had a different testimony.
The Bottle represented inferior, while the Horn represents strength.
Saul's life was unstable and shaky and did not have divine strength to pull through the will of God. David however, he was a man of great strength in his ministry. This horn was the horn or strength of the Lord. Psalms 89:17, "For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted".

HOW TO ANOINT YOUR HOME
Anointing your Yard is in itself a spiritual warfare against a sect of demons called the Kromagnon demons from the Subterranean regions of Hell. The underground is a gate through which these demons travel, therefore, because the foundation of a house in under the ground, it is susceptible to subterranean demonic invasion if not anointed.
When you are anointing your home, especially the yard, you do it bear footed, why? There is a power in the soles of your feet that transmits to the earth. Deuteronomy 11:24 says, "Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours".
If we look in Joshua 3:13 it says, "And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap."
When you anoint your ground barefooted, you are claiming the ground as your territory where you rule and dominate. Joshua 1:3, "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."
When Jacob anointed the stone, not only the stone was sacred but the entire territory was sacred.

Oil is used to anoint anything that is used in the life of a Christian.
Genesis 28:18, "And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it."
Name of God is Oil - Anointing oil is also identified as a representation of God's name in Song of Songs, “your anointing oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out; therefore virgins love you.” (Song of Solomon 1:3).
