What does the process of olive oil reveal about the anointing… and why does God allow seasons of pressure, crushing, and surrender?
In this episode, Bryan Cutshall teaches how the biblical process of making olive oil mirrors the spiritual process believers go through as God develops the anointing in their lives. From separation and piercing to crushing and pressure, every stage reveals something powerful about sanctification, surrender, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Using the olive tree as a picture, this teaching explains why God often removes us from comfortable places, allows painful seasons, and uses pressure to produce spiritual maturity and compassion. What may feel like loss or hardship is often part of God’s preparation for greater purpose and ministry.
The Bible shows that oil does not flow until the olive has gone through the process. In the same way, the anointing is often formed through surrender, refining, and learning to trust God in difficult seasons. This message reveals how the Holy Spirit uses every stage to shape believers into vessels He can flow through.
In this episode, you will learn:
• How the process of making olive oil reflects the process of anointing
• Why separation and sanctification are necessary in the believer’s life
• What the piercing of the olive teaches about rejection and emotional strength
• How the Holy Spirit removes the “acid” from our hearts, words, and attitudes
• Why crushing seasons often involve surrendering our dreams and ambitions
• How pressure produces compassion, boldness, and the flow of the anointing
If you have ever wondered why God allows pressure, painful seasons, or crushing experiences, this episode will help you understand how those moments can become part of the process that prepares you to walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
