Rapture 15

Olive Trees and Olive Oil

January 21, 2007

Joel Akin

Judges 9:8 The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

The Olive is the branch and the branch is the olive. Jesus came as the branch but some thought it was of the Tree of Life. It was but it was of the tree which held anointing. Anointing is the key to power and power is the key to this story.

I went into power but I did not have the full anointing. God wanted me to understand that my family had been using Olive Oil for years but recently we switched to Canola. Though Canola has healing properties it does not have anointing. In all the world of all the trees that produce power, and there are a few, there are no trees which produce it as does the Olive. The Olive oil is the product of the fruit and the fruit is not particularly edible. It takes processing to bring forth that which we call oil.

Oil is part of the teaching of the Holy Spirit. He taught me this afternoon that of all the oil in the world there is none like the olive. It was the teaching of God before I began this incredible journey. He taught me that anointing is the follow to the gift of authority. Authority of men produces some results. It produces became men have faith. Faith is the product of authority and there are many who walk in it because God has gifted them with it.

Yet true authority is different then authority of men. True authority is comparable to what the son had vs the hired man. The hired man is the gift of the local men who go out and put on gloves and pick the olive. It is a hard fruit and not easy to deal with. They complain because it is difficult. The son picks it because it is his business. He knows the father wants it picked because he is responsible for keeping men hired. They complain but they receive blessing. Mainly because they work for the father and he is a just man.

Justice will roll like rivers of water across the land but there is one thing God asked of me. To continue to eat and drink olive oil. How? By putting it in my water at night. Not a lot but just a dose as of a taste. It would be different but it would provide me with a taste of it for it is the fullness of anointing.

Now as to eating olive oil I will have to do research but I believe that refers to making up salad oil for my salads when I eat of them. And since many hold olive oil then to find those and use them.

Now oil isn't something I expected from this day. I have been praying for help. Olive oil is the last thing on my mind. It is something I will go out looking for tomorrow. For now I write about what I learned.

It seems that olive oil is part of the life of the tree. We are part of that life as the church. We have forgotten that God created the natural and he created the spirit. The spirit is meant to be of God just as the natural is part of us. We were and are separated because of sin who stole our understanding. Oil is something I enjoyed but I figured Canola was just as good. But God showed me the other trees wanted the Olive tree to be their king. And the olive tree is considered the king of oil. And it is the oil of anointing. And power to God is called anointing. Most of us didn't know that. God doesn't seek power. He doesn't have to. So he anoints and in the anointing there is power to change. Thus men are built up of less and less and less because we also turn from scripture. We use olive oil on occasion but we have forgotten what scripture says about it. We forget they anointed with oil. We forget this is the power of God that comes from the olive.

Now the oil of the Holy Spirit is meant to work in conjunction with the oil. In the old testament Noah let out a dove from the ark and when it returned there was an olive leaf plucked from a branch.

The branch wasn't just of earth but it meant the water was receding. And the branch plucked was part of the olive tree which stood firm in the earth despite the flood. The olive tree is the king of trees. It was the one tree God chose to help us. It is the one tree we are meant to participate in. It is the tree which will help man in the last day. It is the tree that will give men help against cold and flu. It is the tree which will help to seal men against the mark of the beast.

How? Because oil is meant to be a preservative. It is meant to help preserve the body. It is meant to work with the heart and to adjoin or connect the heart with the thoughts of the mind. And the mind is part of that which Sin strives to enter into so that we submit to its desire. When we take of the anointing of the olive oil in connection with scripture and with trust in God then there is a balance of knowledge.

Now knowledge is built into every tree. The olive tree has knowledge and it is built into the things we do. If we walk with authority of men the power of the tree is the authority of the oil itself. That means if men will anoint with oil then the oil has power given to it by God. We'll call it a natural power and natural means for the body. And it is the body which needs olive oil.

Now to the Christian it connects to the heart and to the thoughts but if a person walks in true authority there is a spirit that rises up from the olive put there by God. That anointing is of the Holy Spirit who resides within the anointing. It is a spiritual anointing and it is part of the Holy Spirit who resides within all of creation. He is the part which is meant to be of God and part which is meant to be of all things. This is part of the spirit and part of the growth and part of the anointing which helps us in our walk.

Now I have reached a place in my walk with God where I am being shown this. Today is the first time I saw the connection. I knew God had called it anointing instead of power. We men and women want power from God but God doesn't share power. He instead gives us a lamp and calls it anointing. It operates from the oil of prayer. Prayer is key to our anointing and as we pray and seek Him then our prayer anointing and authority grow.

Now there is a key to this and it is for the body. The body gets weak and I am weak. I came to the prayer walk today with discouragement and not joy. I came for the last few years with discouragement and not joy because I remain under constant harrassment from the enemy. He steals and kills and destroys. So this article is meant to help us who seek God in daily prayer but can't seem to move forward.

Now if you pray daily spend time listening. I'll tell you it is more critical then your requests. Why? Because God is listening. Think of it this way. You have one chance to meet with royalty. You bring them a request and leave it with them and they say "We will be sure to take care of it."

Then you leave it. Unfortunately the way we pray is distinguished by repetition and these are the people who go to the unjust judge for help. That is meant to be of the world because we bug God so much He is forced to ignore most of us. With me it is different. He is not ignoring me but He is forced to hear me cry for help. I can't help it as I am in dire need of it as I am in a real war of pain.

Now the constant prayer was essential also because I had to keep praying even when I could not hear anything but my own voice. This led to me praying without ceasing and I had to get through as it was critical to my survival.

So God found me a way to hear and I started learning by accumulating knowledge by prayer. It works and still does but now I am into knowledge of the Olive. The first confirmation that God is at work in the natural world. And so I am in the process of seeking it as I am sure there are places here in Calgary where it can be found.

As to where it grows? Lets just say that Olive is King and so anywhere that it is grown the Olive will be king. Not just from Israel or California but anywhere as it is just the Olive. It is unique in property and will help us spiritually as well.

Among the spiritual benefits are increased heart rhythm. That means a steady heart rate. It also increases connectivity to the brain and the brain stem. It helps us alleviate pain and suffering and it helps us with joy or hope or love. It is meant to be used externally so it can help our skin. It is good for dryness and it is good for the help of the thyroid. It will calm our nerves and it will aid our digestion. It is not meant to be taken liberally as in big gulps or in small gulps. It should be in capsule for internal digestion so taking some with a cup of water should be for those who already have a stronger digestion. I have a very bad system so I need to find it in capsules.

There is also a lot of oils that will aid it but Olive is King. It will bring us to a place of anointing and that is when things begin to shake and to move. That isn't a joke. God wants us to understand that when we move in anointing by His anointing with Olive oil in us there will be a shaking that will shift the balance in everything.

So I have to remember wise doses and wise isn't filling up my big gulp.

Remember that God is in control even of the anointing and does these things to aid us in our walk with Him. Trust him and he will see you through.

Amen
