The Fragrance
During our Sunday service the Holy Spirit spoke prophetically to us, showing us that the heavens were standing by with bowls filled with fragrances and aromas for key distinct nations, cites and churches - those who would allow the spirit of God to position them for His assignment and those who would allow the Spirit of God to bring them to a place called ‘surrender’. As these bowls were being poured out, distinct fragrances were falling upon these nations, cites and churches. As the Spirit of God was allowed to move freely the wind stirred the aroma poured out so much so that the aroma and fragrances arose before the throne room. As each individual fragrance arose before the throne room, God could see which nation, city and church individually was rising before Him. Each and every fragrance was sovereignly chosen by God Himself and given with a name personally inscribed to those whom it fell upon. (Revelation 5:8)
The emphasis is not so much upon the fragrance, although it is quite easy to get caught up with this imagery; however the emphasis being placed is that of allowing the Spirit of God to move His church into her assignment and rightful position. The emphasis is that of allowing the Spirit of God to bring us to the place called ‘surrender’, which is the end of ‘self’. When this place is arrived at, the life of selfishness and individuality will come to an end, causing instead corporate life and identity to become our focus. There is no longer a time for ‘me’, ‘myself’ or ‘I’, but instead there is just an ‘us’ and a corporate ‘we’. Death to singularity signals the end of soulish-living and soulish-thinking. We must put singularity thinking to one side and instead think and work synergistically together, for the days of singularity are at an end as the day called ‘surrender’ has arrived. Many of the benefits being offered to church believers are currently producing nothing but singularity and separateness, rather than bringing the people of God into corporate destiny.
