Anointing Oil

First of all let me say that I love anointing oils. I love the different kinds for different needs and different expressions of God. They have beautiful fragrances and often come in beautiful bottles. A few years ago I decided I wanted to make an oil of my own. I would like to make several oils over the next few years but of course in any journey you have to take the first step and make the first one. A couple of years ago I had planted a lavender plant in my garden. Now I live in Oklahoma and I have red dirt clay in my yard and it takes work to make anything grow. But I dug out that red clay and I put in 12 inches of good rich soil. And I planted a small lavender plant. Which grew and grew and grew and then I heard the words "Peace be still". Lavender is known for the calming effect of the fragrance. And I researched how to make oils and figured out the simplest way to make a unique fragrance. I used the oil we purchased for the Passover table and the lavender blooms from the garden. I ordered my bottles from New York and set to work. I made my first 12 small bottles and gave them all away. The first bottle went to the Kingfisher Healing Rooms. I was blessed to be the first person to receive prayer as I had been experiencing a migraine headache. The Lord healed me that night and said peace be still to the storm creating that terrible headache. I thought that would be the only Peace be still oil that I made because this past winter was so harsh and then drought and then floods and I never thought the lavender plant would make it this year but as you can see it tripled in  size! So I am making another batch of oil. I am using this year's Passover oil and I will harvest the lavender on Shavuot. (Easter to Pentecost). Whatever God calls you to do He is able to provide the resources, the knowledge, the fortitude and lasting ability to flourish under hardship conditions so that you can accomplish His purpose in the world.
