The Well of Oil Pt. 2: How the Anointing Is Transferred, Received, and Maximized

The anointing is not created — it is distributed by God, carried by appointed vessels, and transferred only through humility, faithful service, and the willingness to receive correction.

The anointing is God's approval and ability released through human vessels according to divine succession. Understanding the difference between the anointing and the Holy Spirit, between calling and assignment, determines whether a believer moves in genuine supernatural effectiveness or remains limited despite having the Spirit of God.

Teaching Overview

1. The anointing is heaven's approval of a person for an assignment — not a measure of greatness, but a mark of divine authorization.
2. The Holy Spirit enables a believer to operate beyond their assignment, while the anointing alone is limited to the scope of that assignment.
3. The anointing has already been distributed and is transferable — every anointed person received it from someone who carried it before them.
4. Men are portals of oil, and without receiving impartation from someone endorsed by God, a believer will carry a calling without the anointing needed to fulfill it.
5. Correction from a righteous person is oil — rejecting correction is rejecting the very anointing that correction was meant to release.

Key Distinctions

---

The Purpose of the Anointing

• The anointing is given to bring comfort, not destruction.
• An anointed person does not use their anointing to destroy people — the anointing is supposed to bring solutions and open doors for individuals.
• Jesus declared His own mission statement as one of anointed proclamation and comfort, establishing the purpose of every anointing.

"The anointing is supposed to bring comfort. That is the purpose of the anointing. It's supposed to bring solutions. It's supposed to open those doors, it's supposed to do those things for an individual."

---

The Anointing Is Heaven's Approval, Not a Measure of Greatness

• There is no such thing as a "great anointing" — the anointing simply signifies that heaven has approved a person.
• What varies is not the anointing itself, but the assignment — the assignment determines how far, how deep, and how vast the work is.
• Two people can carry the same anointing but operate at entirely different levels because their assignments are different.

"There's no such thing as great anointing. The anointing determines the level of approval heaven has given you. The anointing just says you are approved. But the assignment talks about how far, how deep, how vast, how great the assignment is."

---

The Holy Spirit Expands What the Anointing Alone Cannot

• The anointing alone is bounded by the assignment; the Holy Spirit is what allows a person to move beyond that boundary when there is a genuine need.
• When the Spirit of God is present and a demand is made, God will use the anointing together with that need to help someone — even if it falls outside the primary assignment.
• Jesus at the wedding of Cana demonstrated this: turning water into wine was not His primary assignment, yet because the Spirit of God was in Him, He could act at any time and in any situation.

"What makes you maximize on the ability outside of your assignment is the spirit of God. So, with the spirit of God, when there is a demand, God will use you to answer the prayer. Because the spirit of God is God being in a place."

---

Satan's Strategy and the Corruption of Assignment

• Satan does not do his work alone — he seeks to influence human beings who are ordained for positions of leadership, because he does not carry the assignment they do.
• If he can corrupt the assignment of an ordained person, he can accomplish his will through them.
• Spiritual wickedness in high places refers to natural men made to be spiritual, but operating in a wicked direction.

"Satan will always find people that are supposed to influence the nation, do something in a position of power, maybe presidency, maybe all those kinds of places."

---

The Three Sources of Anointing

• The first and primary source of anointing is God Himself, who selects and anoints certain men before they come into the world.
• These are not average ministers — they are born ministers, positioned by God before birth, whose anointing originates directly from the divine.
• The anointing is distinct from the Holy Spirit: a person can be anointed without the Holy Spirit, and can remain anointed even after God's presence has departed — as demonstrated by both Saul and Lucifer.

"There is no new anointing on earth. Because there is nothing new under the sun. Remember, their anointing is not the spirit of God. But their anointing is an approval of the Holy Spirit and an ability that is given by the Holy Spirit, but it is not the Holy Spirit."

---

Prophets Are the Wells of Oil

• In Psalm 105:15, God says "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm" — distinguishing between the prophets and the anointed.
• The prophets are not referred to as the anointed because they are the well of the oil — the source through which the anointing flows to others.
• Those who receive from the prophets are the anointed; the prophets themselves are the carriers and distributors of the oil.

"God is not referring to the prophets as anointed. Because they are a well of the oil."

---

The Anointing Is Transferable — Every Carrier Received It From Someone

• There is no new anointing on earth — every anointed person received what they carry from someone who lived before them.
• The anointing does not disappear; it is transferred through impartation from one vessel to the next across generations.
• Moses received access to God because of Jethro — without Jethro, Moses would not have met God, and what God declared over Moses came through what Moses first received from a man.

"Every anointed person you see on earth got it from somebody that already lived before them. Because the anointing doesn't disappear, it is transferable."

"You only receive what another person had. You cannot receive or create your own."

---

Divine Succession: Moses, Elijah, and Jesus

• Jesus came to fulfill the work of both Moses and Elijah, which required Him to carry what both prophets carried — the spirit of Moses to complete the law and the spirit of Elijah to baptize with fire.
• The spirit of Elijah had to rest on John the Baptist so that Jesus could receive the transfer of what Elijah carried — without John, that impartation could not reach Jesus.
• Samuel was great, but what he carried came from Eli; John the Baptist was great, but what he carried came from his father, and Elijah came to him somewhere along the line.

"If Jesus is coming to fulfill the law, and if Jesus is going to baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire, meaning they are no intention to judge — Elijah's to show up."

"You have to understand these things by the spirit of God."

Numbers 11: The Biblical Blueprint for Impartation

• In Numbers 11:17, God told Moses He would take of the spirit upon Moses and place it upon the elders — not His own spirit directly, but what was already upon Moses.
• God did not create new prophets independently of Moses because the anointing had already been distributed and must flow through ordained vessels.
• Impartation is the God-designed principle for sharing what has been given — and Jesus, who carried the Spirit without measure, demonstrated that what is shared through impartation does not diminish the source.

"The anointing has already been distributed. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you."

"If God could just make them prophets independent of Moses, why did he do it?"

---

Correction Is Oil: The Principle of Psalm 141:5

• Psalm 141:5 declares that when a righteous man rebukes you, it is a kindness — and it is excellent oil upon your head.
• Rejecting correction from a righteous person is rejecting the very oil that was meant to come upon you.
• Prayer without anointing is ineffective — and the anointing that empowers prayer to crush evil comes through the willingness to receive correction and remain under righteous authority.

"Let the righteous smite me. It shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me. It shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head."

"Many of you will never receive oil because a righteous man cannot rebuke you. The moment they correct you, it is because they are trying to share a burden with you. And the moment you feel yourself, you just denied oil that was supposed to come on you."

Key Definitions

Anointing — Heaven's approval of a person for a specific position or assignment, distinct from the Holy Spirit; an ability given by the Holy Spirit that can remain even after God's presence has departed.

Assignment — The specific scope, depth, and scale of what God has called a person to do; what determines how far and how vast the work of an anointed person reaches.

The Holy Spirit — God Himself present in a place or person; what enables a believer to operate beyond the limits of their assignment and respond to needs outside their primary calling.

Impartation — To give or share what you have been given; the God-designed principle by which the anointing is transferred from one ordained vessel to another across generations.

Born minister — A person positioned and anointed by God before they came into the world; not someone who became prophetic through spiritual development, but one whose anointing originates directly from divine selection at birth.

Well of oil — The title belonging to born prophets and ordained ministers who are the carriers and distributors of the anointing — they are not referred to as "the anointed" but as the source through which the anointing flows to others.

Key Takeaways

• The anointing is approval, not achievement — Understanding this prevents the pursuit of spiritual status and redirects focus to faithfulness within the assignment God has given.
• The Holy Spirit is what takes you beyond your assignment — Without the Spirit of God, the anointing is bounded; with Him, God can use you to answer prayers that have nothing to do with your primary calling.
• The anointing has already been distributed and must be received from an ordained vessel — There is nothing new to create; the only path into the supernatural is through humility and receiving from those God has endorsed.
• Correction from the righteous is oil — Rejecting rebuke from a righteous person is not a matter of personality or preference; it is a direct rejection of the anointing that correction was designed to release.
• Every anointed person traces their anointing back through a human vessel — This is not tradition or hierarchy for its own sake; it is the divine architecture God established for how the anointing moves through the earth.

Reflection Questions

1. Who has God placed in your life as a source of spiritual impartation — and are you faithfully serving and remaining under that person, or have you distanced yourself from them?
2. When a righteous person has corrected or rebuked you, what was your response? Did you receive it as oil, or did you reject it? What did that response cost you?
3. Are you pursuing anointing or assignment? Have you taken time to understand the specific scope of what God has called you to, rather than seeking a greater measure of spiritual power?
4. Is there someone in your life you are faithful to because they comfort and stroke you, but who has not served your spiritual growth? What would faithfulness to your actual calling require you to change?
5. If prayer without anointing is ineffective, and anointing comes through submission to righteous authority — what does your prayer life reveal about your relationship to spiritual covering and correction?
