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.

Many people believe the Supreme Court “ended asset forfeiture” with its 2019 opinion in Timbs v. Indiana. That’s not only false, but by trying to expand federal power to stop asset forfeiture in the states, they might have made things even worse in the long run.

After constantly hearing the media and government tell people to do their part to save lives, reassuring them COVID vaccines were “safe and effective,” Liz and Dan Brown believed it when they received their first Pfizer shot.

“We trusted in that fact. And that’s what ultimately killed my husband,” Liz said mournfully.

Less than a week after getting their first round of shots, Dan began repeating sentences and having issues recalling simple things like what day it was and who was president. After staying in the hospital overnight, he was released and reassured he would be able to get his second Pfizer shot without issue. So he did.

Once again, Dan had an adverse reaction and tragically died.

“Who decided to make this vaccine look good when they knew very well that it wasn’t?”

The largest government in history is incredibly abusive - of your rights, of your money, of the constitution - of pretty much everything. The people need a massive change of attitude towards it if they ever want to turn things around.

Nestlé Is Recalling Over 440,000 Starbucks Mugs Following Reports Of A Dozen Injuries


So far, a dozen people have reported injuries resulting from the Nestlé-manufactured coffee mug. Nine of the injured consumers reportedly suffered from extreme burns to their hands and fingers, with an additional customer claiming the mug broke in their hand and cut them. The CPSC also claims that another consumer required medical treatment for their injuries but didn’t share any information about the type of injury sustained or how medical personnel aided the consumer.
The CPSC did, however, issue a caution to customers and provide instructions for people who currently possess Nestlé-made Starbucks mugs. According to the CPSC, people who possess a faulty coffee mug should avoid using it and immediately return it to whichever retailer they purchased it from. Customers can return the item for a gift card or a cash refund, and refunds are also available through Nestlé’s primary webpage.

GOP Opens Probe Into Global Energy Group


This comes only a short time after the Biden Administration paused export projects related to liquified natural gas. In the letter, they continued to say that the reason for them pausing it was because of the agency’s “unrealistic modeling.” In response, the IEA has said that the Biden Administration looked at forecasts instead of internal studies in order to make this decision.
However, a previous International Energy Agency leader said that the reports that the administration relied on to make its decision were very troubling. The U.S. Department of Energy has said that they are a huge asset, but that things have changed over recent years and they are no longer supporting their “mission.”
Republicans have criticized the agency for the change in direction when it comes to “building net-zero emissions energy systems to comply with internationally agreed climate goals” and pursuing decarbonization policies.
