Sandalwood tree

“How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord,Like cedars beside the waters." Numbers 24.5-6
When the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling in the human heart, there is no way for sorrows, disappointments, annoyances and other evils remain. Instead, the person is like sandalwood tree (tree whose wood is fragrant) that the Lord has planted, like cedars beside the waters. That is, they become the perfume of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  4. I agree with you Mrs Ester, when we have God inside of us nothing of the mentioned above remains in our lives , the perfume of our Lord Jesus drives all the darkness far away from us and make us free indeed .

    Thank you Mrs Ester.

  5. So when the Holy Spirit enters a person's heart there should be a removal of stench (all evil) so that the Holy Spirit can enter and make our temple fragrant.

    Something that just came to my mind is that the Holy spirit is aware when the temple is truly clean and in order for His spirit to enter He will not be fooled by the covering up of mess. He sees through this.

  6. That is such a beautiful image. To know that the Holy Spirit creates you to become such a beautiful creature with a lovely influence, why would we not want to receive Him?

  7. Dear Mrs Ester,

    This message is so inspiring to us all.
    How wonderful and amazing it is for a person to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
    That we have utter and complete peace no matter what situation problem or circumstance we go through.
    With God's spirit that empowers us, we have an everlasting fragrance in our lives.
    With this in mind there can be no reason why a person does not do all in their power to receieve the spirit of God in their lives.

    God Bless you abundantly for this uplifting message.

  8. Once you are sealed with the holy spirit obstacles can arise but you still have joy in the lord. The holy spirit gives you strength to overcome problems and be a blessing in people's lives.

    Thank you because through your message God showed me why people see the difference in those who have his Spirit. Because just like someone that has a nice perfume, people will ask where they got it and what is the name.
    This is what has to happen to us when we receive Him in us.
