THE SWEET PERFUME OF HIS PRESENCE. Upon the King was poured the anointing oil. He was anointed above His fellows. Once again we see one of the many evidences of our God in His character and personality. One perfume, but the blending of three spices into that one. Ps. 45:8 There is another instance where the heavenly aroma is produced and that is when <the brethren> come together in harmony. Ps. 133:1-2 A great challenge but on one that will be accomplished in these last days as the Lord perfects His church. We will enter into a unity that is comparable to that of the Godhead, for we will be one body, in Him.
EFFECT OF AND REACTION TO THAT HEAVENLY FRAGRANCE. An aroma that immediately identifies the presence of the one anointed. Like the anointing of Jesus by Mary, the house, the area surrounding the one anointed is pervaded with its perfume. Jn. 12:3 The name of the Lord is declared to be a sweet ointment. Song. 1:3 Where is the Christian that has not entered into the beauty of His presence by simply whispering His name. His name is of the greatest value, for it is the key to an audience with Him and an answer to our prayers. Meet together in His NAME and He is present. Mt. 18:20 It has pleased the Father to send the Holy Spirit, in His NAME. Jn. 14:26 Simply, ask in His NAME and your request is granted that you might be filled with joy. Jn. 16:24 No limit placed on His response. Jn. 16:23 Any thing, I will do it. Jn. 14:14 Whatsoever. Jn. 14:13 All accomplished through recognizing and asking specifically, IN HIS NAME. Deliverance and healing wrought in HIS NAME. Mk. 16:17-18
HIS NAME WAS GIVEN BY HIS FATHER. The Father exalted, lifted Him up on high to the throne of God. Gave Him a name that is unique. A name that stands above and separate from all other names. A name that is a benefit and a blessing to all who will call upon Him, using His name. Phil. 2:9Remember, that name is as ointment poured forth. Sweet, glorious, wonderful perfume of His presence. Practice calling Him by His name and use that name in your prayer, worship and praise. The term <God>, has become ambiguous. There are a great multiplicity of gods in the world. Which one is being addressed by the word god? When we speak of our Savior or pray to Him we know that we are heard because we have addressed the LORD JESUS CHRIST, which is His NAME. That name is given and breathed by His Father. We honor both the Father and the Son when we acknowledge and accept His Name which He has given us to use so freely. There is coming a day of universal confession when all who have ever lived on the earth will admit That Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. Phil. 2:10-11 The peoples of the earth, from those who crucified him to the last man, will wail when they see His return. Rev. 1:7, Phil. 2:11 Thank the Lord we can do it now. Ah, sweet perfume of heaven, so wonderfully made available to those who call upon His Name. Please use and honor His name in your worship before Him..
