Psalm 23:1–6 (ESV) 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:5 (ESV) You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

In the presence of my enemies
“At his table, we feast while He fights.”
“You anoint my head with oil...”

1 Peter 2:24 (NIV) …By his wounds you have been healed.
2. The Oil is for De-bugging
3. The Oil produces gladness of heart Isaiah 61:3 (NIV) To provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
4. The Oil is fragrant 2 Corinthians 2:15 (NKJV) For we are to God the fragrance of Christ.
Luke 4:18(NLT) The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring “Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free and that the time of the LORD’s favor has come.”
“My cup overflows.”
“When the oil flows, the mundane becomes ministry, The ordinary becomes ordinary, and the natural becomes supernatural.”
