REMEMBER PAUL IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
SINGING PRAISES THROUGH HIS PAIN
THANKFUL TO BE CALLED INTO LIFE’S BATTLE

AND IN OUR WEAKNESS WE ARE RENEWED
CHORUS 2X
WE TRUST IN YOU, LORD
WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAN
IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD
The Tabernacle was a model of Jesus’ intercessory prayer for us. The High Priest was the only one allowed to make sacrifices and prayers on behalf of the people. He entered the Holy of Holies wearing a breastplate of twelve precious stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. It was placed over his heart. The model was a picture of Jesus our High Priest, who intercedes on our behalf, as He holds us (his Bride) close to His heart.
The smell from the animal sacrifices made the air quite putrid and offensive, so the High Priest would disperse incense changing the room odor to a pleasing aroma. Our prayers are upgraded by Jesus, who intercedes on our behalf and presents them to His Father to be a pleasant smell (…since he (Jesus) always lives to make intercession for them Heb 7:25). Jesus did this as a man on earth (interceding for Peter before Satan tempted him Lk 22:32 and now continues to advocate for us in heaven 1 Jn 2:1).
Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God…2 Co 2:15 NLT.
…Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people Rev 5:8.
