Dead Flies in the Ointment: Guarding the Anointing from the Dragon's Lies

Pastor Steven Shelley passes real myrrh and frankincense through the congregation to show how suffering and worship compound each believer’s unique anointing, then turns to Ecclesiastes 10:1: dead flies, not great scandals, spoil it. He catalogs lies, gossip, innuendo, and a ’trauma culture’ excusing dishonesty, closing with a 2007 dream of ’the dragon’s flies’ – the dragon’s lies – swarming a field until heaven’s roar drives them out.
