The Fragrance of Christ

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The Apostle Paul shares an interesting thought in 2 Corinthians 2:15 about the fragrance of Christ. He writes, “For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”

Fragrance has the sense of incense or knowledge. Interestingly the Romans of Paul’s day would use incense during their victory parades through the city. As smell is a most powerful emotion. remembering smells, that of good food, or sweet perfume will continue to linger in our thoughts far longer than the smell remains in the natural.

To this end Paul was using this illustration to bring home the idea of how our life “gives off” a fragrance. Our life lived, especially the Godly, gives off sweet perfume pleasing as it rises to the Father in Heaven. It’s not so much what we do, but how we do life. Pleasing words spoken in comfort, unselfish acts or deeds that bring God’s presence to the world.

The sweet smell of a Godly life lived lingers even to those here on earth as we pass by. The spiritual smell of sweet success lingers as a testimony of the very fragrance of Jesus.

Let’s make perfume! Rh

In a sternly-worded letter, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has called on Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth, Al Schmidt, to ensure that every Pennsylvanian can vote unimpeded.

Chairman Michael Whatley is urging immediate intervention to address reports of widespread issues at polling sites across the state.

“With only eight days until Election Day, Pennsylvanians across the commonwealth deserve every option available to exercise their civic duty. But voters are being turned away, given faulty information, and told their ballots will not be counted. This is nothing short of voter suppression, and we demand immediate action to ensure every legal vote can be cast and counted properly,” RNC Chairman Whatley said in a statement.

It’s time that we begin to pray against the evil that’s in this world. We must pray for a free and fair election, bombard heaven, and cast out devils. Let’s fight and save this country. Rh

It is time for the conservatives on the Supreme court to take a stand against the immoral practices pushed on the citizens of the United States. Tennessee passed a law prohibiting trans gender surgeries on minors, and right on cue the Biden-Kamala administration seek to overturn the protection of minors being mutilated. Well let’s see what the august body in intellectual minds have to say about this. See link below to read the full article. Rh

‘Jesus Met Us There’: Massive Revival Moment as 10,000 Seek Jesus at University of Arkansas Benjamin Gill

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

In the fourth major collegiate revival in less than a month, thousands of students gathered at the University of Arkansas on Thursday night to seek Jesus Christ and find salvation in His name.

Unite US reports that 10,000 students from 67 different universities gathered in Bud Walton Arena.

“Jesus met us there,” the ministry said in an Instagram post. “We were blown away by His presence in the room and how it carried over to baptisms. It was a night we’ll never forget.” 

One young man shared his powerful testimony right before getting baptized at the event, saying, “I spent a lot of years running from God. I just came to Jesus about five weeks ago, but I got caught up in, I’ll just say it, cocaine and alcohol. I had a lot of really near-death experiences and I think Jesus had his hand on my life because I should not be here.”

Evangelist Tonya Prewett reports that, so far, over 2,000 salvations and over 800 baptisms have taken place through the Unite US campus events over the past year.

“I believe this is the generation that will usher in the greatest move of God we’ve ever seen, and we’re seeing that,” Prewett said during a recent podcast. “And I do believe what we had in the fall and the spring of this past year is just the beginning. Greater things are coming, and I feel for the end of this year and leading into 2025, something greater is coming. God is doing something across this nation… I do believe this move of God on college campuses is ushering in a greater awakening.” Praise God! Hoping this move of God spreads across the nation. Rh
