 The Pentecostal expression "the anointing breaks the yoke" derives from a passage in Isaiah which discusses the power given the prophet Hezekiah by the Holy Spirit over the tyrant Sennacherib.The Doctrine and Covenants of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) contains numerous references to the anointing and healing of the sick by those with authority to do so.Joseph Smith instituted anointing for other purposes on 21 January 1836, during the rites of sanctification and consecration preparatory to the endowment rites practiced in the Kirtland Temple.
