It's a Sweet Smell

Jesse Birkey's picture

Sometimes I think it can be hard to understand or recognize the glorious life we carry with us when we have given our hearts to Jesus.  Sometimes days just seem so dark and we can barely lift our heads.  But when we are pursuing His heart I think it’s difficult to keep the kind of life Jesus ignites us with inside.  Maybe impossible. 

 

I was in an office supply store one day when I happened to look at the woman beside me in line.  She was pleasant looking enough but that’s not what grabbed my attention.  What grabbed my attention was what looked like little wispy trails of smoke rising from her.

 

But it wasn’t smoke.  The woman wasn’t on fire.  It didn’t look like smoke I just don’t really know how else to describe it.  There were three curly fingers of the substance just slowly floating up from her.  I was aware that what I was seeing was in the Spirit and that the Lord was allowing me to see something important. 

 

So I asked the Lord what I was seeing and He began to speak to me about the sweet fragrance she was to him.  What I was seeing was her sweet smell rising to Him as her heart had been captivated by Jesus.

 

But I wanted to know where the fragrance was originating.  Was it coming straight from her heart?  So I asked to Lord where the aroma was coming from and He directed me to her feet.  As the woman began to move forward I saw sweet smelling flowers and grass bursting out of the floor where her feet had just been.  The love of God in her could not be contained and was bringing life everywhere she went. 

 

The love of God is alive and active in us.  What a beautiful picture of that reality.

Mark and Charity have teamed up again to write a book on how to easily manifest the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. It took us several years to break through all the confusion and present a clear, simple understanding of how to release the nine-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go and with everyone you touch. It is not hard! It can’t be since these are gifts of the Holy Spirit, not things you have to work for.

Contrary to the secularized health care system of the western world, the Bible establishes health care as a ministry which falls under the jurisdiction of the priests:

Sound Doctrine Through Revelation Knowledge

Sound Doctrine Through Revelation Knowledge

by Dr. Gary Greig & Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler | 84 Pages

Sound doctrine. Correct theology. Sounds easy. Seems like if I would just apply my mind, I could establish sound doctrine and keep myself from heresy and error. And that is exactly what I did for many years, until God stopped me dead in my tracks, and got me to look up every verse in the Bible on doctrine and theology (15 in the NASB and 37 in the NKJV). Wow! Was I in for a surprise! You will be, too, as you go through these verses with me in this book!
