What about prophetic soap and anointing oil?

Below is a copy of an email I received this last week. The question was, is there a biblical basis for such things as prophetic soap and anointing oil?
________________________________________
I am seeking guidance on a situation involving the use of prophetic soap and anointing oil, as instructed by a prophet. The prophet created a soap, referred to as prophetic soap, and mailed it to my family with instructions to use it every three days while making prophetic declarations while bathing with it… A church in the USA instructed the congregation to carry a bottle of anointing oil for a monthly anointing church service. We were directed to pray over ourselves and even drink a shot of the oil. Sometimes, we are told to anoint our points of contact with objects like business cards, resumes, and other items.

These practices concern me, as I am uncertain about the biblical basis for using physical objects like soap and anointing oil as means of receiving blessings or healing. Are there any biblical examples of objects being used in this manner, and how can one discern whether such practices are biblically sound or potentially misleading?
Helen

Answer from Mark Virkler
Helen, here are several Scriptures that shed light on the questions you raised...
1. It is biblical for the power of God to be infused into an object - God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out (Acts 19:11-12).
Many healing evangelists have sent out pieces of cloth for people to place on themselves for healing. Oral Roberts would have people lay their hands on the radio as he was praying for healing. This was a point of contact to release their faith for healing, I would see both of these actions as congruent with biblical protocols.
2. I have never heard of prophetic soap - It could be a point of contact to release faith, but I don’t believe we see this in Scripture anywhere and I am not inclined to participate in using it.
3. Anointing with oil is found in Scripture - They were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them (Mk. 6:13).

In the verses in James (below), you see that if you are sick, you call for the elders of the church, and several things are to transpire: They pray and anoint with oil in the name of the Lord, and if sins have been committed, you confess sins to one another.

Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much (Jas. 5:14-16).

4. Drinking healing oil - I am not aware of that being done in Scripture. You would want to know what was in the oil to ensure nothing is damaging to one's health. I have never done this, and am not inclined to do it.
5. Prophetic actions, like anointing points of contact with objects like business cards, resumes, and other items - One prophet told a king in Israel to strike the ground with a staff as a prophetic gesture of striking and defeating the enemy. The king only struck the ground three times, and the prophet was upset and told him he should have struck the ground 4-5 times, and because he didn’t he would not fully defeat the enemy (2 Kgs. 18;18,19). So yes, prophetic actions, when performed in faith, can be instrumental in releasing God's power.
6. Cautions, honor the leading of the Spirit - But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth (1 Jn. 2:20).
7. Cautions, never come under a person's domination or control - Nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock (1 Pet. 5:3).

Final thoughts: People are free to do different things than what I do, as long as those things are not forbidden in Scripture. I do not think any of the actions you listed are forbidden in Scripture. If I was in a great church that was ministering life to me, and the above actions were my only points of concern, I could easily set them aside as something they liked and I didn’t and that was fine. I would just enjoy the other aspects of the ministry I was receiving from them. We don’t need to agree on everything.

How to Overcome Your Trouble Seeing and Hearing God: Connect in His Language by Dr. Patty Sadallah

Dr. Patty Sadallah has offered us some great examples of simple "training wheels" for identifying and using the eyes and ears of our hearts. Below are excerpts from Patty’s full article (with a few inserts from Dr. Mark Virkler).
• The eyes of our hearts allow us to see pictures on the screen inside our minds.
• The ears of our hearts allow us to hear the inner dialogue that takes place in our heads.
________________________________________
To surrender your spiritual senses to allow God to communicate with you is to sanctify your imagination. The degree of clarity of seeing and hearing you experience in these exercises is similar to those when you encounter Jesus in journaling. It’s totally normal! The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.

Heart Faculties Do Function Easily and Normally: Three Simple Tests to Prove it
1. Eyes: Your kitchen sink and refrigerator: Let’s practice using these spiritual senses right now. Here are three simple tests to prove how normal it is for you to use the senses of your heart. First, close your eyes and imagine your kitchen. Look around the screen of your mind. Walk up to your sink and turn it on. Touch the water, feel the temperature of the water, and then shut it off. And then go over to your fridge and open it. Do you feel the blast of cold? Examine the contents of your fridge. Were you able to do that? You just used the eyes of your heart. When Jesus is giving you visions, it is the same inner experience, other than the visions are being prompted by the flow of His Spirit within, and not me painting a picture for you to look at. Don’t miss how simple vision is by making it something harder than this!

2. Ears: Now close your eyes and sing Happy Birthday in your mind. Could you hear yourself singing in your mind? You just used the ears of your heart. When Jesus is speaking to your heart it is the same inner experience, except He is talking. A big reason people miss hearing His voice is that they make it harder or different than this experience.

3. Guided images: Now, this time, keep your eyes open. Imagine that you are holding an orange. Is the skin thick or thin? OK. Now, imagine that you are cutting the orange in half, and putting the orange up to your nose, do you smell it? Now squeeze the orange and touch a bit of juice to your tongue in your imagination. If you were able to experience any of these senses, you were able to surrender your imagination to my suggestion. Connecting with God is no different; you are simply inviting God to engage with you through those senses.

In two-way journaling, you are asking Jesus to show you things using the eyes of your heart and speak to you through the ears of your heart. The Holy Spirit who is joined to your spirit (1 Cor. 6:17) fills these senses with revelation from Jesus.

Overcoming doubt
Hearing and seeing by the spirit is so simple and easy and normal that we are tempted to doubt it and say, “It’s just me.” This is where faith in the promises comes in.

The Lord answered this question in Patty Sadallah’s journaling:
When you call on My name, do you expect Me or a demon to answer? Let Me tell you the Truth. No demon would dare answer My call. Be careful what you expect. Your expectations reveal your true heart. If you don’t believe that I can or will answer you, you will not be able to connect with Me. Not because I am not answering, but because you don’t believe that I am answering. Confess and repent for this unbelief and welcome Me to answer. Watch what I will do!

The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.

Use this spiritual home base to meet Jesus regularly and He will always be there to communicate, heal, direct, and comfort you as needed. Building memories with Him in your special place is a faith propeller that will transform you into your Christ Identity.

I (Mark Virkler) would like to add this
If you believe it is just your mind speaking back to you and not Jesus: Bind the demons of doubt and unbelief and rebuke them in Jesus' name and state your confession that you are a believer. You believe the Bible works in you. You are a sheep and Jesus promised that His sheep hear His voice. So you hear Jesus’ voice, period. Fear, doubt, and unbelief be gone in Jesus' name! I am a believer!
