THE FRAGRANCE OF HIS PRESENCE (PART 1)

JUNE 11TH

Text: Numbers 6:22-27 King James Version (KJV)
22. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

There is something special about some individuals that make you so comfortable and relaxed when you are with them. They seem to stir up your hope, dreams and destiny. By the time you are through with them, you seem to have a sense of purpose, clarity and direction. 

CONTEMPLATION
One of the root meaning of the word anoint is “to rub off”; it paints a picture of one staying long enough in a place to carry the content of that atmosphere. So when we say someone is anointed, we are saying this person has stayed long enough in the presence of Jesus to carry the fragrance of His presence (see Acts 4:13). When a man stands up to worship, you are encountering the measure of the fragrance of Jesus that is on him. Those who never leave His presence have access to be able to hear and see what He is doing, therefore they are able to bring healing, deliverance and transformation to many.

“It is in this place the power of the flesh and the dominion of sin are crippled. Burdens are lifted and darkness becomes light. There comes an illumination too great for ignorance to remain, and the soul is liberated as our spirit soars on the wings of the Spirit.” FFPW p116-117.
There is no exclusive access to the anointing, the difference is the degree of hunger upon a soul. 

PRACTICAL ISSUES

If you think you are so anointed and people cannot put up with you, there is need to reconsider that anointing. Some people spend time to study and copy those they adore, but spend little or no time in the presence of the Lord.
