In her message titled “Worshipers Buy Oil,” Pastor Dehavilland Ford unpacks the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25, calling it a blueprint for the end times and a clear warning to believers to be spiritually prepared. She explains that all ten virgins were pure and had lamps—symbolizing ministry and light—but only five carried extra oil, representing daily intimacy with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. The core issue was not morality or external appearance but the presence—or absence—of cultivated oil: personal history with God, sustained through worship, the Word, prayer, and obedience. Pastor Dehavilland emphasizes that oil cannot be borrowed, imparted, or outsourced—each believer must buy their own in intimacy with the Lord.
