The Fragrance of Christ

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

A Word From the Lord

Below is a word that a dear friend and daughter in the Lord received yesterday. I have copied from facebook and have permission to share. Please prayerfully read. God is speaking warnings to us through dreams, visions and of course His Word.

I sat with Jesus this morning. And I wrote down what I heard. I wanna share with you.

PREPARE, PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE LORD

Child the time has come that I will shake what others think seem to be unshakable. Any idol that is above me will be cast down. For I am righteous daughter. It is I who opens the seals. It is I that judges my people. Warn those I love equip and prepare. For I am who I say I am I come with a sword to divide and to conquer. Be ready child. The time is now that you shall see things come to pass, but do not worry for I’m with you. I will never leave you be ready child for I am coming with a sword.

Revival Among our Colleges??

Another Revival at Texas A&M Corpus Christi as 1,500 Hear Gospel, 62 Baptized – Benjamin Gill/CBN News

So very excited about this article. Is it possible that God is beginning a move among our young people? Various campuses have experienced a move of God in the past couple of years.

Yes let us pray for our nation for a return to Biblical values and for souls for the kingdom. Following the turbulent decade of the 1960’s, we saw a “Jesus Revolution” begin on the west coast. God bring repentance, and restoration to our land! Revive us Lord! Rh.

College campuses across the country have seen significant signs of spiritual awakening over the past few years from Asbury to Auburn. Now there’s another example of revival breaking out on the Corpus Christi campus of Texas A&M University.

A recent campus gathering organized by New Life Young Adults drew nearly more than a thousand students to hear the gospel.

Pastor Michael Fehlauer of New Life Church posted, “Nearly 1500 students last night Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi… 62 water baptisms… Powerful testimonies… Many physically healed and delivered! Jesus is Lord….. and He is coming back.”

The Christian Post reports a message was preached about the “conviction, cleansing and commissioning that follows a genuine encounter with God.”

And this wasn’t just a one-day event for that church. Throughout the month of August, New Life Young Adults was reporting powerful images of God’s power moving among hundreds of students.

Free Abortions Offered to DNC Attendees – Pro-Lifers Criticize the ‘Shout Your Abortion’ Agenda

Can the Democratic Party get any lower on the morality pole than this? I wonder if the powers that be in the Democratic socialist party of America, have any exceptions to abortion on demand? What if a baby is born alive, would you save the life of that child? About 92% of all abortions performed in America are done for convenience, not because of the life of the mother being in danger, rape or incest.

Unfortunately, the Republican Party is taking a similar track. It barely mentioned pro life in their platform for 2024. And in fact, the standard bearer of the Republican Party Donald Trump, has blamed pro-lifers for the defeats of some of the candidates. He endorsed in the midterms in 2022. He seems to want to make it a state issue. Well I would agree with him on that if we were not for the fact that when you take the life of a child, it is called murder. This country should never allow a baby to be ripped apart and killed in the process of abortion.

I pray that America will soon return to its spiritual roots and rebuild the foundation of a nation born on Judeo Christian values. God help us all if we do not. Rh

Nobodies are Somebodies in Christ

So, you consider yourself a nothing and a nobody? Regardless, you must not excuse yourself from the high calling of God on your life because you think you are a “nothing.” In God’s eyes, being a nothing is an improvement over “anyone [who] thinks he is something when he is nothing” (Gal. 6:3). Remember, God created the universe out of nothing.

We all have value. Find yours and make this world a better place. Who knows what could happen when we reflect the glory of God. Be salt, be light, be different than the world around you. Rh

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ Targets Conservative Christians with New Media Spot 

By David Brody CBN News

Let me just say this….if you are an Evangelical and you vote for Kamala, you need to repent. Flat out get to an altar. Rh

CBN News has learned that a newly formed group, Evangelicals For Harris, will drop their first media spot Wednesday in an effort to win over some “on-the-fence” Conservative Evangelicals in swing states who are lukewarm when it comes to Donald Trump.  

The videos will start on social media and eventually make their way to TV in certain swing states. Specifically, and most interestingly, Evangelicals For Harris will be targeting conservative Christian media websites. The group already has over 200,000 Evangelical Christians who have signed a pledge to volunteer and vote for the Harris/Walz ticket.  

Donald Trump won a hefty majority of the conservative evangelical vote. However, typically elections are won at the margins, especially in the seven key swing states. Evangelicals for Harris is using this strategy in hopes of eventual victory. If history has something to say, it may work. 
 
In 2008, Barack Obama received 26% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received 16% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and lost. In 2020, Joe Biden received 24% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. So if Kamala Harris gets 20% or more of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote, Trump could very well lose the General Election to Harris. 

Harris Stumps For The Gender Confused Vote With Appearance On Drag Show

Kamala Harris has thrown her hat into the drag race for president, making one of her first campaign appearances on a TV show glamorizing gender confusion.

Late last week, Harris appeared on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” to stump for the crossdresser vote. “Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride,” Harris stated without proof. “So, as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember no one is alone.”

“We are all in this together,” said Harris, repeating the favorite lie of the 2020 lockdown’s supporters. “And your vote is your power. So, please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote at vote.gov.” Presumably, Harris encouraged viewers to take time between Drag Queen Story Hours to help choose the leader of the free world.

“Can I get an amen?” asked one of the actors, mocking evangelical sermons.

“Amen!” the LGBT-identifying cast replied sacrilegiously. 

With her RuPaul cameo, Harris has become the first sitting vice president to appear on a drag show and to visit an abortion facility. When Harris’s supporters say, “Slay, Queen!” they mean the gender binary and the unborn.

As with much of Harris’s rhetoric, this appearance requires some translation. What “rights and freedoms” does she claim are under attack, and from whom? The Biden-Harris administration has strongly condemned state SAFE Acts protecting children from the predatory transgender industry. Harris has further castigated her opponents for allegedly supporting “book bans this year of our Lord 2024.” (Notice the recurring sacrilege.) 

By this, she means parents’ grassroots efforts to keep school bureaucrats from furnishing pornography to our minor children in taxpayer-funded schools. There are no laws preventing anyone from displaying agape love to others (which is chaste); in fact, a federal conscience ban prevents states from refusing to affirm same-sex unions, overturning state laws nationwide. (There are, of course, laws against pedophilia, whose practitioners the most extreme wing of the LGBTQIA+ movement has renamed “minor-attracted persons,” or MAPs.) 

However, the radical gender ideologues got the message loud and clear. “A Harris administration would not only uphold but also expand upon the” political agenda of “transgender Americans established by the Biden administration,” said Advocates for Trans Equality. Kamala Harris’s record has given them all the confidence they need to believe she stands with them.

In 2004, she officiated same-sex “weddings” as a San Francisco district attorney, after then-Mayor Gavin Newsom (D) ordered officials to ignore state law. She refused to defend Proposition 8, when California voters democratically defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and later worked to overturn that election in court. (So much for defending democracy.)

Harris backpedaled and blame-shifted one of her few decisions against the LGBTQ industrial complex, when the attorney general’s office opposed taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for inmates. In 2019, while seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, she claimed the briefs had been written by an anonymous, subordinate staffer before saying she took “full responsibility,” as if she had ordered the British Navy into Gallipoli.

As the more committed ideologue of the Biden-Harris administration, she has guided the administration’s full-scale, “whole-of-government” embrace of LGBT extremism since 2021. Their administration has placed luggage-stealing trans-identifying people in sensitive government positions. It has boasted of rewriting Title IX to allow males inside female locker rooms, showers, and college dorm rooms. And it has threatened to withhold school lunch money from poor children if their districts refuse to comply.

Now, Harris has amplified her RuPaul appearance, posting behind-the-scenes footage on her personal social media accounts (which announce her pronouns as “she/her”) Saturday, ratcheting up millions of views. In fact, it is not even Harris’s first video with a drag queen. Last June 28, Harris met with a cross-dresser named Pattie Gonia, in the process quoting a Kylie Minogue song with as much authenticity as Hillary Clinton claiming to carry hot sauce in her bag. (At least, unlike other Biden-Harris administration videos featuring trans-identifying people, these drag queens remained fully dressed.)

Appearing on a drag queen show is virtually Kamala Harris’s first presidential campaign event — and if Harris believes anything, it is that “there is great significance in the passage of time.” It signals her priorities and the way she will govern if elected. The media usually agree. Yet Kamala Harris’s appearance drew virtually no media coverage. 

“If you think the Olympic opening ceremonies was weird… Check out where Kamala opened her presidential campaign this week,” stated American Greatness. “The border czar has visited RuPaul’s ‘Werk Room’ the same number of times she’s visited the border,” observed Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross. Otherwise, it has been met with crickets.

It seems significant that the specific part of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” that Harris visited is the “Werk Room” — a part of the show where people transform themselves into drag queens. Pat Buchanan once described the 1992 Democratic National Convention, when “liberals and radicals came dressed up as moderates and centrists” as “the greatest single exhibition of cross-dressing in American political history.”

In the coming days, Harris and her supporters will try to reinvent her, at least slightly, as a more moderate, centrist candidate, focused on the struggles of the middle class. Yet her first campaign stops have been to a teacher’s union and a drag show. By so doing, she is telling her base they are top of mind, and first in line to receive their rewards in the coming “Kamalot.” If you want to know who Kamala Harris will serve, just look at her campaign stops. The rest is just political cross-dressing.

In other words, she will continue the Democratic Party’s tradition of serving its voters’ interests — something Republican candidates might be well-advised to imitate.

Cackling Kamala would be a moral and governmental failure. She is by far the most Luciferian left wing nut job that has ever been nominatives for the highest office in the United States. Her policies are immoral at best and demonic at worst! If she is elected it will be the end of America as we know it. God help us! Rh
