Spiritual Warfare:The Oil in Your Lamp – Wholeness Through the Spirit

Theme: Staying filled with the Holy Spirit for ongoing victory and abundant life.

Story: In Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, some missed the wedding feast—not because they weren’t invited, but because they ran out of oil. The Holy Spirit is our oil, keeping us prepared and whole. Wholeness is not a one-time event but a continuous process of being filled, sustained, and led by the Spirit.

As you pursue healing and victory, keep your lamp full. Stay in step with the Spirit, draw near in prayer, and let Him restore every area of your life.

Bible Verses

Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV): 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Ephesians 5:18 (KJV): And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.
Romans 8:11 (KJV): But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
