“And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.” Exodus 40:9
 
In today's terms, anointing oil is simply olive oil that has been prayed over and sanctified by the Spirit of God. The prayers spoken over this specific blend are to increase your hearing and discernment of the Lord's voice. The primary Biblical oils used are almond (Spirit-filled life), Balsam (healing), Pomegranate (love), styrax (purity of heart) as well as several others.
