"And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum... And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof; it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people (Ex. 30:34-38).
This incense was made of precious and rare ingredients, each of the same weight and importance. God warned that the people were never to make anything that smelled like it, for this incense was only to be made to offer up to God. These three spices in no way typify or represent three things in prayer, but there are three specific factors for getting our prayers answered. First, prayer is to be made in Jesus' name, for He said, "ask in my name and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full" (Jn. 16:24). One of the prerequisites of prayer is that we pray in Jesus' name, not just for His sake, but consciously in His name. Make sense? The rest next time.
Practical application: "Pray for Kings... who will have all men (Kings included) to be saved" 1 Tim 1:2-4. Since I began praying this every day, I have heard of 5 kings who have been saved. A missionary heard me preach this, began praying for Kings, went back to his mission field and had the joy of leading a King, out there, to Christ. Let's all 10,000 getting this, to just pray DAILY, consistently, what God told us, for Kings, your ruler included and see a big change come about in each of our 120 nations. "There is no king saved by the multitude of an host" Ps. 33:16.
