God Destroys Enemy Fleet - Prayer for America
(Australian Christians have our back in prayer)
------------------------------
Heavenly Father,
As the National Day of Prayer is coming next week, may we reflect on our godly heritage and not forget. In times of trouble, we repented and fasted as we looked to You for deliverance.
But we our prosperity, we have forgotten You. Our troubles are so overwhelming. And there is not earthy wisdom to solve our problems afflicting our nation.
May we humble ourselves, confess our sins and repent. May we turn, again, to You for mercy and for grace. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and Your Wisdom. Empower us to live Your plan in this life and fulfill Your destiny for our nation.
Protect all those who go into harm's way to defend us. Shield Your servants from attacks on all fronts. And through the power of Your Spirit, may America will be great again.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen
-----------
Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Psalm 18:2 (NIV)
Keep praying for America
-----------

The Fragrance of Christ
April 29, 2016
We are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:15
Which of the five senses brings back your memories most sharply? For me it is definitely the sense of smell. A certain kind of sun oil takes me instantly to a French beach. The smell of chicken mash brings back childhood visits to my grandmother. A hint of pine says Christmas, and a certain kind of aftershave reminds me of my sons teenage years.
Paul reminded the Corinthians that they were the aroma of Christ: For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ (2 Cor. 2:15). He may have been referring to Roman victory parades. The Romans made sure everyone knew they had been victorious by burning incense on altars throughout the city. For the victors, the aroma was pleasing; for the prisoners it meant certain slavery or death. So as believers, we are victorious soldiers. And when the gospel of Christ is preached, it is a pleasing fragrance to God.
As the aroma of Christ, what perfumes do Christians bring with them as they walk into a room? Its not something that can be bought in a bottle or a jar. When we spend a lot of time with someone, we begin to think and act like that person. Spending time with Jesus will help us spread a pleasing fragrance to those around us.
Lord, please shape my thoughts and actions so people may sense that I have been with You.
When we walk with God, people will notice.
The imagery of a pleasing aroma coming up before the Lord appears in several different ways in Scripture. In the Old Testament, one of the pieces of furniture in the tabernacle was the altar for burning incense (Ex. 30:1). Along with the lampstand and the table for the bread of the Presence, the incense altar was in the holy placejust outside the Holy of Holies. In Revelation 8:34 incense is offered on the altar in heaven. This incense is connected to the prayers of the people of God. We see that not only can our lives be a pleasing aroma to God, but our prayers can be as well. Bill Crowder
