From 2009 to 2014, I was a volunteer Youth Leader, supporting the Youth Pastor of our local congregation which had around 5000 people. We had our main campus and about 14 to 16 smaller campuses across the town which a population was around 265,000 people, plus 5-8 associate churches in different cities and states under the same denominational name, plus churches in countries in other 4 continents.

That position gave me the opportunity to participate in some of the rare church leadership meetings when all the pastors from all churches across the globe were invited to get together. In one of those meetings, probably around 2012, I was given a Holy Anointing Oil bottle by a couple of pastors from one of our associate churches. That event somehow marked me. The oil came in a small bottle inside a golden bag. There was a booklet folded multiple times to be able to fit inside the minuscule bag. The booklet stated that the oil was made according to the instructions from Exodus 30:22-25.

When I opened that bottle, a delicious aroma invaded my bedroom and I was fascinated by the scent, but also the texture and color of that oil. I've had multiple other kinds of "cheap" anointing oil, and none of them had that color, texture or aroma.

That experience forever marked my soul and spirit. I started using that oil to anoint myself, anoint my car, and my house, praying for protection and smearing the mark on my objects and possessions. I'm aware that the oil has no power, but I had faith to infuse the oil with, that the Father would hear my prayers and would bless me.

Over the years, as I saw my bottle of Holy Anointing Oil slowly "drying up", I got concerned that I needed to buy more. But I didn't want any other oils that are made with cheap synthetic/mineral oils and synthetic fragrances and labeled as anointing oil. I wanted the real stuff! I wanted that high-quality, pure, blessed oil!

It took me a while, but I found the website of the supplier, but it was broken.

Time went by, I got married, moved to another country, visited many churches and found my church family, received many miracles from the Lord, and served that small congregation of less than 100 people with love for many years, initially setting up the chairs, then helping with the setup and tear down of the sound and instruments - when we still couldn't pay for full term lease - until I was invited by a couple of pastors leading that congregation to become an elder.

During all these years I was still using that bottle of oil to anoint people in our church, events, and meetings we were invited to.

A few months ago, I was cleaning my office up, when I looked at that bottle of Holy Anointing Oil again and I noticed it was almost empty. After many years, I tried to access the website again and it was offline. Then I prayed about it. And somehow felt like the answer was: "If you cannot find it, you make it yourself!"

That answer blew my mind, as I was not expecting it, since I don't come from a chemist, a perfumist not even a pharmacist background.

I prayed more, and more, and more and asked for confirmations... By the 10th confirmation (after noticing "anointing" and "oil" everywhere, from sermons I listened and read, to bible verses coming to my mind, to worship songs), I said: "OK Lord, I'll make it!".

I started researching ingredients, and processes, doing a lot of math to understand some conversions, extractions, yields, composites, and all that goes into making such precious oil. I researched suppliers - had to test with multiple of them to validate the quality of the final product.

It was May/2023 when I finally was able to produce some of the thick and rich golden brown, pure, high-quality oil with that woodsy, sweet, warm, spicy aroma!

I don't want to defile the Holy Anointing Oil by making it seem like something mundane, something people take for granted or even unholy, because it is Holy to the Lord. What I want to do is TO SERVE the worldwide church, starting in the USA, with the authentic Holy Anointing Oil, so every born-again Christian can PRAY for the sick in their congregation and USE THEIR FAITH to believe what the Bible says in James 5:14,15: "14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven". That is what the WORD OF GOD says! It is for TODAY!

Knowing that the Anointing Oil represents the Anointing of Holy Spirit of God, the same that came in Pentecost in Acts 2 and was seen as tongues of FIRE, and knowing that another word for Anointing is BLESSING, we created the brand FIRE&BLESSING to fulfill our mission.

May God BLESS you abundantly!
