God's creation - the essence

V R E E S en woede

Sukkel jy ook met vrees of met woede?

In sy boek The Spirit-controlled temperament skryf Tim La-Hey oor die twaalf verskillende temperament tipes en hoe elkeen van hulle verskillend op die Heilige Gees reageer. Uiteindelik deel hy al twaalf tipes in 2 hoofgroepe: introvert en ekstrovert.

God gave us the tools - we are just the 'carriers'

I LOVE these studies on biblical oils and the use of essential oils in ancient times - very interesting and fascinating!

“Essential oils have been an integral part of the daily lives of people for thousands of years. At least 33 specific essential oils and aromatic oil-producing plants are mentioned in the Bible, and the word “incense” is mentioned 68 times in Scripture. Psalm 45:7-8, Proverbs 27:9, Isaiah 61:3 and Hebrews 1:9 all reference oils in some way, as in “the oil of joy” and “the oil of gladness,” and they speak of how oils “rejoice the heart.”

Essential oils are also referred to in the Bible as fragrances, odors, ointments, aromas, perfumes and sweet savors. In total, there are over 600 references to essential oils and/or the aromatic plants from which they were extracted in the Bible.“

Where it all started.....
Join us tonight and learn what the Bible says about essential oils.

Have an oilsome Wednesday!

Olies is so baie gebruik in die Bybel se tyd.....🙌
I have to admit, I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil” was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel.

Anoint my head with oil

“Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment? Do the worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!”

Having these oils in your house are an absolute BLESSING
