Blessing Your House

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.

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.

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 have faith in God and pray that God will allow 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 oilAlso 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.

The blessed 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,mirrors, 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

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

Blessed Oil can be purchased at any Christian bookstore or extra virgin olive oil can be used once it has been blessed by you or your pastor. While I was dealing with demonic forces and felt compelled to bless my house for protection. Do you remember the Isrealites were directed to cover their doorpost during the Passover, so the Angel of Death skipped over the Isrealites houses. I seen this as a direction from God to annoint my house with blessed oil with the same concept in mind.

*I blessed myself with a cross symbol marked on my forehead and then I blessed every wall, window, doorframe, closet, bed and any every object I could. The prayer I used is similer to this:

~Father God, bless this home, bless this house, protect us from the enemy, I cover my house by the power of the blood of the lamb and live for your glory and your purpose. I close the portals that have been opened within this house and bring peace. My family and I are protected from the enemy and nothing can penetrate my house. I have full authority of my house, my vehicle, my family, my finances, my emotions, my faith, in the power of the blood of Jesus. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen..~

I covered every wall with crosses to protect my family, I did not miss a beat, and this became a weekly ritual. My faith was strengthened and tested during this time, which reminds me, I need to bless my home again.

I have found this ritual to be very useful as a Christian to protect and perserve my family from attacks from the enemy. We are surrounded by the enemy on a daily basis, we must be ready for daily battle.

I have also, found that annointed oil will ward off spiritual attachments on a person. You should bless your children's comings and goings, oil can be used at times, but may not be necessary.
