"THE  INNOCENCE  SECRETION"

While watching a television program about scientific research on the life of elephants-----I heard about a very interesting discovery in this field.

When young male elephants begin to get "interested"  in mature female elephants.....that puts the young male elephants in grave danger.  The adult bull elephants can easily kill the young males for this behavior.

But the scientists have discovered that these young bulls secrete a substance that - (by its odor) reveals to the adult males  -  "this young one is innocent - he is no threat" to the increase... of the adult bull's kingdom.

"The Innocence Secretion"............

In Genesis (chapters 27 & 28), Isaac is old and blind, and He is about to bless Esau, his eldest son.  [To "bless"  meant "to transfer - from father to eldest son - the family's material property, aspirations, and spiritual promises"].

However, Jacob (the younger son), and his mother Rebekah, hatch a plan to take advantage of Isaac's blindness-----and to trick him into giving Esau's blessing to Jacob instead!

One of the ways they accomplished this was to put Esau's clothes on Jacob - so that Jacob would smell like Esau.

Surprisingly, the trick worked!!  Isaac Blessed Jacob:

     "...may God give you of the dew of heaven,
       and the riches of earth;...
        May God Almighty bless you,
        and make you fruitful and multiply you..."
        (Genesis 27:27; 28:3)


Now you may be thinking - "But Jacob and his Mother sinned  -  and they received the blessing!?!..."

And God allowed this???

Yes.

"God preferred Jacob, and rejected Esau" (Malachi 1:2-3).
[God sometimes does things...for reasons only HE knows.  He is "Adonai" (Sovereign Lord)].

I sin.

You sin.

And we all desperately need, and want, God's blessings!!!

*** If we do not accept the blood of Jesus Christ for our salvation...then we are in grave danger!!! **

BUT GOD!!!  Because God's Son Jesus Christ poured out His Holy blood on His cross for us.....there is forgiveness and cleansing in the blood of Jesus Christ!!!!!!!! (Hebrews 9:22/I John 1:7)

Because Jesus Christ did pour out His blood for us.....we can... "... clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14)


Okay, so I can be clothed with Jesus Christ; but what about the "smell" - of my sin?

Because there is "...forgiveness and... cleansing " in the blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:22/I John 1:7)................(so) we are to God...the fragrance of Christ..."!!!!!!!!! (II Corinthians 2:15)


Available to you, to all of us under the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ is:

Salvation (Mark 14:24/Acts 4:16)                      Healing (Isaiah 53:5)
Protection (Exodus 12:13)                                  Provision (Psalm 105:37a)
Life (Psalm 105:37b/Lev. 17:14/John 10:10b)   Forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22)
Cleansing (I John 1:7)                                         Redemption (Ephesians 1:7)
Justification (Romans 5:9)                                  Sanctification (Hebrews 13:12)
Peace (Colossians 1:19-20)                                 Washing (Revelation 1:5)
Overcoming Power (Revelation 12:11)              Speaking Power ((Hebrews 12:24)
Access to the Presence of GOD (Hebrews 10:15)

Plead the blood of Jesus Christ over your family and over every area of your life!!!!!!!

(For the rest of the story - please read Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21))

"THE SILENT SONG' (that speaks volumes!!! about HOLY GOD OUR FATHER!!!)

Early this morning (7/3/2014) I went out to "Galilee" - ("Galilee" is a place in our front yard where I often go to worship and commune with God the Father. God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.)

As I worshiped God, I saw the sunlight reflecting from some tree leaves in the distance;
although there are many trees in this forest, the light "found its way" from God's heart through the sun (the Son of God!!!) ---to my eyes...and to my heart!!!  (In John 8:12, Jesus Christ declares: "I AM the light.")

Then, as I looked closer, I could see a new spider web being formed between some trees.  At the same time, I could feel a light breeze, and I could see the spider web "dancing" on the breeze.  As the sunlight "danced" and flashed upon the spider web,...it illuminated the web in such a way that a
cross
of  light  (shimmering light) appeared on the web!!!!!!!

Psalm 135:7  States "...God brings the wind out of His treasuries...".  So, God caused the breeze.....the spider web danced in movement on the breeze.....the sunlight flashed and danced on the spider web.....revealing the cross!!!

"For God Who said  'Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts...to beam forth the Light  for the illumination...of the majesty and glory of God...as it is manifest in the Person, and is
revealed in the face of Jesus Christ."!!! (II Corinthians 4:6/Amplified Bible)

(Yes, please read the above verse one more time!)

"The Holy Sprit will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13)

"...The great, mighty, and awesome God..."!!! (Nehemiah 9:32)

"Let every thing that has breath praise the Lord."!!! (Psalm 150:6)

Let us all be frequently asking the Lord our God - to "...flood the eyes of our hearts with His
light...that we may know the hope to which He has called us..." (Ephesians 1:17-18/Amplified Bible)
