The Holy Communion and Anointing Oil

Written by Peter Youngren on October 21, 2009

One of the bonuses of traveling to places in the world where most people don’t get to go is unusual experience. Now I don’t mean seeing strange animals, or mere traditions; I mean unusual spiritual experiences. Indonesia is a fascinating country. Though it is the world’s largest Muslim country with more than 200 large unreached people groups, among the Chinese people—which are 40 million strong, there are many large churches.

One of the most inspiring I’ve come across is the Tiberias Church, which conducts 178 services per Sunday across various locations in Jakarta. Total membership across Indonesia is 500,000, with most of these in Jakarta. According to church growth experts, it’s the 9th largest church in the world.

The pastor, Yesaya Pariadji was a muslim to whom Jesus revealed himself in 1986. He became acquainted with the Full-Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship and visited a number of conventions across America with its founder Demos Shakarian. Jesus appeared to Pastor Pariadji after healing his wife out of a debilitating disease, commissioning Pastor Pariadji to bring a deeper understanding of the Holy Communion and anointing with oil in the name of Jesus Christ. Last Sunday, after our Gospel Festival in Kupang, I flew to Jakarta, to speak in a couple of the services at the Tiberias church. I had met Pastor Pariadji a year ago and was deeply impressed with how Jesus is shining through his life. This time I gained a greater understanding of the church. The message of God’s grace permeated the praise and worship. Every song, many of them written by Pastor Pariadji’s son, Argo Pariadji, really lifted up Jesus and the Father’s love. The people received my teaching with great joy. I hope to be able to show it on one of our telecasts. You could tell the message of grace had already penetrated the congregation and they were ready to receive. Though we were on a tight schedule, I was anxious to stay to the end of the service when Pastor Pariadji would give out the Holy Communion and anointing oil. I have never witnessed people so eager to receive the bread and the wine; such energy of faith. The church bulletin featured testimonies of people who have been healed simply by trusting in Jesus and receiving the Holy Communion and the anointing with oil.

Pastor Pariadji’s teaching on the anointing oil from the olive tree as symbolic of the redemptive work of Jesus is profound. I felt that what I saw and heard would have been just like when disciples in the first century received the bread and the wine. I went home with a determination to not only take the Holy Communion in Sunday services, but at our Grace TV headquarters.

Well my last two days in Indonesia were intense. First the closing service in the Kupang Gospel Festival with a huge crowd [see photo report], then the flight to Jakarta and the services there, and after the final meeting in Jakarta I took the last flight to Medan, the largest city in Sumatra (the area of recent earthquakes), in order to spend almost a day with the Gospel Revolution Bible College headed by Susan Hoover. The students were ready and receptive. It was exciting to see growth in the school, and I also met many of the missionaries that have come out of our Bible College; Sarah DeRidder, Kyle Laviolette, Gola Tiruneh, and John & Lasmian Kingma. Do you have a testimony of Jesus revealing Himself to you through the Holy Communion? Let me know. -Peter

I’ve baptized at Tiberias Church & after baptized there, at nite I am recover from my insomnia & migrain, ulcus problem. Since that, I have a good health whereas since I was child, many sickness problem I have.
If I am sick now like diare, sorethroat, influenza,etc,  I drink Holy Comunion, without go to the doctor,  I recovered.  So, since 2005 after baptized there, I’ve never go to the doctor anymore. It save my money because I have no job to pay for doctor. Many of foreigner abroad came to Tiberias to be baptized by Pastor Pariadji & all of them with hard sickness, been recovered. A lot of Muslim come and recovered from their hard sickness, such as cancer, heart problem, kydney problem, etc & after that they came to Tiberias Church asked to be baptized & also go every sunday to Church’s meeting/services/ to be conggregation of that church.  When you did the servies in Tiberias 11 October , my 2 sisters came, because I informed them about your coming. I can’t come because I did ministry in Lampung ( in Sumatra Island )  & South Sumatra ( Palembang ) for 20 days. Keep do your ministry abroad & come again to Indonesia ! I also told my cousin in Kupang/ Indonesia , so they came to your crusade & be blessed with it. Shallom - Rita Hatumesen

Three years ago, I had a marvelous experience at the church here in Mississauga, ON. Three days before the hip surgery I went to church, during the Communion service, I decided to face my own battle. Some weeks before I had signed a letter of consent to receive blood transfusion if needed after the surgery. During the Communion, I was meditating about the power of the blood of Jesus, it is the blood of the covenant. So I prayed to the Lord and said: I believe in the power of your blood, so at the moment of drinking the wine, I will receive extra power in my blood, the hemoglobin will be OK after surgery without blood transfusion. As soon I said Amen, I felt such a peace that I was sure it was coming from the Lord. Surgery was OK, but three days later, at the Hospital, I was notified that the hemoglobin was at the lowest limit. Next day, Sunday just one week after that Communion service, two nurses were rushing to my room to prepare the blood transfusion, but because it was almost close to afternoon shift, they decided to postpone for next shift. When the afternoon nurse came to see me, I pretended not to know about that issue, I said I was strong, and so more things. Finally the nurse had to warn me: I will not proceed with th blood transfusion unless you authorize me now. I said:  thank you very much, I don’t need it, I prayed to the Lord Jesus, He is taking care of my blood, so the transfusion was not done.
Next morning the doctor on duty came to my room, and smiling he said: Congratulations Daniel, the blood transfusion you got last night is working good, your hemoglobin is back to normal, perfect. I smiled and said: I didn’t take any blood transfusion, Jesus Christ made the miracle for me. The doctor got up without a word, and walked away from my room.
Praise be to Jesus, there is power in the blood, what a blessing is to participate with faith in Him in the Communion. To Jesus be all glory, honor and praise.
Daniel.

Hi Peter,
would like to say great thanks to Jesus The Lord Almighty and Everlasting Father who has chosen the Martyr Bishop Bapak Yesaya Pariadji in our lovely country Indonesia. Both me and my beloved wife have been baptized at The Tiberias Church,through him of course, in January 2007 -  first personal experience with me was when i put anointing oil to my Dad who got the second deadly acute stroke in Medan on 3 July 2007. He has been healed despite the medical doctor has removed him from ICU room as caused of totally hopeless – medical prescription said that he would be died just awaiting of daylifes.

Since that day, abundant mercy, heavenly grace, peace and joy, great blessing, calm and self control, spirit of wisdom and miracle coming to my family day by day - and this event was the start time of revolutionary faith on Jesus Christ in my spirit – walking on glory and it is beyond wonderful –  see thou hurt not the oil and the wine (Revelation 6:6). 

As my job at UN, I got huge great miracle experiences along the country-wide duties with the daily the holy communion and anointing oil : great families relationship recovery, rebuke demons and mentally sickness from local people at Lombok and Timor Island, financial and institutional breakthrough, stop the raining storm and flood, involve on decision making and etc.

One example i always remember is that our office was in financial trouble by beginning of last year,and i come to Bradley Busetto who was Deputy Country Director – if he is allowed ,i will pray in the Name of Jesus The Lord for donor pledge to the office country program. He was ok, then i run to pray by putting the anointed olive oil over his office room and asking fund to The Great Heavenly King. Just few weeks after , pledge just came amounted of US$ 6 million. It is historically true, and love faith and hope are more and more growing with my life.

Great Thanks and Halleluiah to Lord Jesus The Savior who anointed the Martyr Bishop Bapak Yesaya Pariadji as it is the heavenly joy and gift to my family in Indonesia. That is i do believe.

God bless you.

I have a pain in my left knee for 2years but when I tried taking communion for my healing I noticed the pain was gone. now I have the communion elements and the anointing oil in my bag and I use it also when I visit the sick.
