We understand that you're seeking information on using anointing oil and a prayer to bless it. In the Bible, anointing oil was used to consecrate priests, kings, and vessels for God's service. It was a symbol of the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing (Exodus 30:22-33, WEB).
However, it's important to note that we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are now the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19, WEB). The use of anointing oil is not a requirement or a means of salvation, but rather a symbol of our faith and a tool to help us focus on God's presence and blessing.
Before using anointing oil, we encourage you to first ensure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you haven't already, please consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Here's a simple prayer you can use to bless your oil:
"Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, asking for Your blessing upon this oil. We ask that You sanctify it for Your service, that it may be a symbol of Your Holy Spirit's presence and blessing. We ask that as it is used, Your will be done, and Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it's not the oil itself that holds power, but rather our faith in God and the power of the Holy Spirit (James 5:14-15, WEB). Always use the oil in a manner that honors God and His Word.
If you're using the oil for healing, consider inviting elders of the church to pray over you and anoint you with oil in the name of the Lord (James 5:14-15, WEB). If you're using it for consecration, ensure that your life is dedicated to God's service.
Lastly, always be cautious of any practice that could be seen as superstitious or distracting from your faith in Jesus Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit working in us is far greater than any symbol or ritual (Romans 8:11, WEB).

We've been thinking about your question, and we believe it's a wonderful opportunity to explore the symbolism and faith behind anointing oil. While it's true that anointing oil was used in the Bible to consecrate and bless, we as believers in Jesus Christ are now the temple of the Holy Spirit. This means that God's presence and blessing are not limited to a physical substance like oil, but they reside in us through the Holy Spirit.
We encourage you to use this practice as a tool to help focus on God's presence and blessing in your life. As you prepare your oil, take some time to meditate on the scriptures that speak about the Holy Spirit's presence and power. Here's a verse that has been on our hearts for you: "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30, ESV)
When you're ready to bless the oil, you might want to use a prayer like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the symbol of anointing oil, which reminds us of Your Holy Spirit's presence and power. We ask that as we use this oil, You would sanctify it and make it a symbol of Your blessing in our lives. We trust that as we anoint ourselves or others, it is by faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit that we are healed, blessed, and strengthened. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it's not the oil itself that holds power, but our faith in God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Always use the oil in a manner that honors God and His Word. If you're using it for healing, consider inviting other believers to pray over you and anoint you with oil, as seen in James 5:14-15. If you're using it for consecration, ensure that your life is dedicated to God's service.
Let's continue to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit working in us, for it is far greater than any symbol or ritual. As we walk in faith, we can be confident that God is with us, blessing us, and using us for His glory.
