Should A [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Use Incense
Many people of the Christian mosque watch the use of incense as a portion of assorted occults practices, the Buddhist, or New Age campaigns and not to be a part of the Christian mosque.
Why did the Holy Bible scriptures I found referred to the incense as Holy? Has the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] church missed someone? What was the fact? Who was right?
I decided to find out. In my search the 1st thing I did was go to a Bible microcomputer program and put in the word "incense". I was amazed to see there were 132 references in the scriptures to incense. As I peeked over them I noticed they all seemed to refer to idols of the day. This appeared to go to the side of the people believing the incense were not for the Church. But then I felt a hinting to look further.
I decided to publish in mandate all of the scriptures on incense so I could really look at them. As I read down the page one prodigious truth jumped out at me. The vast majority of them were effective how not to use the incense. They were showing how the incense was creature used in the wrong way. They also told the consequences of using the incense the wrong way was to cause God's wrath to come upon us. This really caught my care so I looked further. Here are just a couple verses I found:
Leviticus 10: 1 - 2 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put blaze in it, put annoy aboard it, and offered profane bombard before the Lord, which He (God) had no commanded them. So fire went out from the Lord and engulfed them, and they died before the Lord.
I King 22: 43, 50 - 53 .....and he (Jehoshaphat) walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not corner aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places......
(The high places were where the people who worshipped other gods would burn incense to those gods)
Here is God's response -
Verse 53: For he served Baal and worshiped him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and provoked the Lord God of Israel apt pique, along to all namely his dad had done.
As I peruse further into this story in the scriptures I found that even whereas Jehoshaphat worshiped God he left the altars in the high places and burned incense to Baal the idol. In further study of Jehoshaphat we detect as a outcome the sins were elapse down via the generations.
As I persisted to read through the scriptures I found them showing more of the wrong ways the incense were used and God's response. Every period the anger of God came opposition the people.
The bad direction clearly indicated the use of the incense because worshipping idols rather than God.
In the Holy Bible I found numerous places in the scriptures where the Lord is brought to great anger when the incense is used by the "idol worshipers".
I first found the Incense in Exodus 30. Moses is given instructions for the Temple Of God. We are also told the incense is forevermore. This means they were to never end. The Lord even refers to our worship as "sweet incense" in His nostrils. We study in Exodus 30 the Incense of the Bible is for the purpose of worship.
Exodus 30:8 and when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he shall burn incense on it, a eternal incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
Ok, it seemed I had found the answer. The incense was to be used in the Church of today. Remember the poetry said, "forevermore". That manner today also. So immediately what? So I thought, ok, I ambition do an experiment. Since Moses had told Aaron to burn the incense in morn why not attempt using them while I am praying in the mornings and see what happens.
During my time of research I decided to burn the Frankincense during my intimate times with the Lord. I too decided to inquire some friends to do the same and report behind to me how they liked the incense. In my own experience I was amazed the times with the Lord went into deep deep times of intercession, revelations that I found after accustomed out with His word, and visions that I found later accustomed in His word. As for the others? They each were equally amazed to find the same thing happening to them.
Another interesting thing was each of us also found that the surroundings in our homes were changing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each of us in a different way, according to the lust of the Lord. My house became a place of shrine, peace, and department.
This was getting truly amusing. I determined to research further. I found a book phoned "Strong's" that namely used for studying the Bible a bit more in detail. It really gave assorted words in the Bible and the definitions of what they averaged in the Biblical days. I determined to look up incense. Here namely what I found:
Incense: Strong's # 6999 - Fumigation in a close place and perhaps thus driving out the occupants (demons)
blaze incense, make mashes smoke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to cause incense to smoke, offer incense
Types of Incense - God's Incense, Strange Incense
God gives us directions that we are to merely burn His incense
The scriptures show us there are certain fragrances used in the Temple Incense. Also throughout the scriptures we see the reference to various other fragrances that represent the Lord which are also used every now and then to make incense to glory Him.
Exodus 30:9a You shall not offer curious incense on it...,
Ok, so whether incense is a nice thing then why not just burn them all the time daily? When this question came to mind the Lord swiftly led me to this verse.
Jeremiah 18:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to pretension, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the antique paths, to walk in path, in a way not hurl up.
The Burning of incense was originated for the purpose of worship. We have cheapened it along using it for room fragrances and other religions. The Lord is profession us back to Holiness and is saying to stop using His sanctified things for melodrama and pleasure. They are Holy before Him. Reverence those things which are Holy.
What approximately apartment fragrance? Use those things which are not incense for the intention of fragrances. Use sprays, perfumes, necessity oils even. But stop using His Holy Incense.
Example: Would we use the baptism tank by the church for a bathtub? How about the church for a night spot during the week with all the drinking and pilling that works on? This may sound extreme and I may be treading on some toes. But please listen my heart. Through this study I have found God's things are Holy. Our ways are not His Ways. Until we detach ourselves and begin to walk in Holiness we cannot come into a deep intimacy with Him.
Isaiah 55:8-9For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the world, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thought than your thoughts.
So what does the incense truly characterize? Here are the Bible scriptures the Lord led me to.
Rev 5:8 And while he had taken the paperback, the 4 beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every 1 of them harps, and golden vials full of scents (incense), which are the prayers of saints.
Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], having a golden censer; and there was given unto him many incense, that he ought offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the emperor.
Rev 8:4 And the cloud of the incense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
What happens when we use the Incense the right way? Remember our Strong's definition:
Incense: Strong's # 6999 - Fumigation in a close location and maybe thus driving out the occupants.
Types of Incense:
a) Frankincense: used for the sin offerings
b) Hyssop: used for the sin offerings
c) Rose of Sharon: fragrant of our Lord
d) Cedar: woods used in the temple
e) Pine: bush used in the temple
f) Cinnamon: naturalness of the Bride of Christ
I don't understand about you yet I calculate I have found my respond.
Blessings to each of you.
