Recap
Altar (platform), Sacrifice, incense (prayer) Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Altar of incense (AB) -Aroma
Gen 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
2 Cor 2vs14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma(smell) of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance (smell) of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? 17For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.
Prayer is a part but it’s more. The person must become the incense. Your whole life the sacrifice. Rom 12 v1-2 you need to smell right. We are unto god a sweet smell of Christ. You can smell like death or like life. Gen 27v27 Isaac, Jacob, Garlic man
Pure incense (pure offering) speaks of a pure soul . What’s the difference, in how we live our life.
Eph 5v2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. – Jesus gave himself as an offering, was a fragrant aroma he doesn’t expect less.
Phillippians 4:18 –But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. Sacrifice out of a pure heart
Areas of application
- Flaky Intercession-selfish prayers, carnal prayers, non kingdom, fear based prayer
- Sacrifice out of a pure heart: Php 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
- Your will being surrendered .dying daily. Jacob God does no use unbroken vessels
- CHARACTER
- ANGER has a Sound and a Smell and sometimes a taste
- LOVE has an incredible Smell! You Don’t have to say anything, just emanate It and it’s picked up in the spiritual realm…Thoughts LOVE IS ALWAYS THE GREATEST POWER OF ALL OF THEM!IF YOU ARE EMANATING LOVE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU CHANGES!
1 PET 1V9 …….obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
Romans 8:29, KJV: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
DEVELOPING THE CHARACTER OF GOD IS YOUR HIGHEST PURPOSE! THAT’S YOUR FIRST PURPOSE! THAT IS YOUR HIGHEST CALLING YOU CAN HAVE! TO BECOME LIKE JESUS!
The purer the metal the greater the conductivity
Jesus was the first of many who would be like him.
- TRANSFORMATION Spirit, Soul, Body Your Spirit man is a New Creation But your physical body and your soul has yet to follow through!
You know, the Bible says in Romans 8:6; “To be naturally minded IS DEATH BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE!….
Your natural mind is an enemy of GOD unless you get it cleaned up, Transformed!
THERE IS A NEW TRANSFORMATION COMING…..
HE SAID, LISTEN, TELL PEOPLE, “WHEN I CAN WALK IN THEIR GARDEN, THEY CAN WALK IN MY GARDEN!”
Jesus cleansed the Temple twice! One at the beginning of His ministry and one at the End of His Ministry!
IT IS TIME TO DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE…, ••I AM **PERFECTING MY NEW CREATION…SOUL & BODY !
- YOU ARE THE TEMPLE!•THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS WITHIN YOU....JUST WAITING FOR YOUR SOUL AND YOUR physical BODY TO LINE UP GET CLEANED UP!!…THEN FLASH!!!!….HIS GLORY WILL BE DISPLAYED THROUGH US!!!…
Conclusion
In the past episodes, I have spoken about the altar being the power platform. Today my emphasis is on purity. without purity we can’t access the power. power without purity is suspect. You have a responsibility in cleansing your altar, you 3 fold human
LET US PRAY
