Sense of smell

And also, here's the gag.

I fucking lost my sense of smell.

I mean, does that always happen to you or is it inconsistent? No, I

mean, it was gone, gone.

No, but I was in the shower last Friday.

It's back.

My sense of smell is back.

We can all rest easy.

But even a Christian...

IF YOU ARE OPERATING FROM ONLY YOUR WISDOM AND YOU'RE GOING BY WHAT YOU SEE, TASTE, HEAR, SMELL, AND FEEL, AND YOU'RE LETTING EMOTIONS DOMINATE YOU, THEN YOU'RE OPERATING AS A NATURAL MAN.

SO THIS IS JUST TALKING ABOUT A PERSON WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TO REVEAL SPIRITUAL TRUTH TO YOU.

It gets complicated.

Olfactory, with horses can be a thing actually.

I always used to tell my clients, do not wear strong scents because that will just be distracting for them.

But at the same time, I used to have this honey shampoo that I would use and Chance would come and put and smell my head.

It's very...

Smell can transport you more than anything, right?

Yeah.

Sometimes I've thought...

I TELL YOU, THE THINGS THAT I'M SAYING HERE ARE SO IMPORTANT AND THE AVERAGE CHRISTIAN JUST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND CERTAINLY THE MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS DO NOT PRACTICE THIS.

MOST PEOPLE ARE CONTROLLED BY WHAT THEY SEE, TASTE, HEAR, SMELL, AND FEEL.

YOU KNOW, LET ME GIVE YOU A QUICK EXAMPLE.

I'VE TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT THESE OTHER THINGS, BUT IN 2 KINGS, CHAPTER 6, IS AN INSTANCE WHERE ELISHA, THE PROPHET, HAD BEEN TELLING THE KING OF ISRAEL, THE KING OF SYRIA'S BATTLE PLANS.

MAN, WHAT A POWERFUL, POWERFUL STATEMENT.

AND DID YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO JUST GO BY WHAT THEY SEE AND THEY THINK, I'M JUST BEING REAL, WHAT YOU'RE BEING IS REAL CARNAL, LIMITED TO YOUR FIVE SENSES.

PEOPLE WHO JUST THINK THAT NOTHING EXISTS EXCEPT WHAT THEY CAN SEE, TASTE, HEAR, SMELL, AND FEEL, THEY WOULD SAY THAT ELISHA LIED.

BECAUSE YOU COULD COUNT THE ENEMIES OUT THERE BY THE THOUSANDS, 5,000, 10,000, AND THEN YOU LOOK OVER AND GO, ONE, TWO.

I mentioned to you, it has been found in archaeological finds.

And when you look at the scene around you, you find your five senses assaulted by Smells are so bad that you can actually taste them.

Sights of sickness and disfigurement.

There's a touch of death everywhere.

THERE WAS NO PROOF OF IT.

IN THE NATURAL, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO JUST GO BY WHAT YOU CAN SEE, TASTE, HEAR, SMELL, AND FEEL, THEY WOULD SAY THAT, BOY, YOU ARE TAKING A RISK.

BUT REALLY, THERE WASN'T ANY RISK BECAUSE GOD HAD SAID IT WAS ALREADY DONE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS TOLD US THE SAME THING? LIKE THE END OF 1 PETER 2, VERSE 24 SAYS, BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.

THEY'RE PRAYING FOR LIKE A FINANCIAL MIRACLE, THEY'RE PRAYING FOR A HEALING OF THEIR BODY, THEY'RE PRAYING FOR SOME ANSWER TO PRAYER, BUT THEY NEVER SEE THEMSELF WITH THAT ANSWER.

THEY'RE WAITING UNTIL THEY CAN SEE IT WITH THEIR PHYSICAL EYES.

AND LET ME JUST SAY IT THIS WAY, I DON'T MEAN THIS IN A NEGATIVE WAY, I'M NOT TRYING TO CONDEMN ANYBODY, BUT IF YOU ARE WAITING AND YOU'RE ONLY GOING BY WHAT YOU CAN SEE, TASTE, HEAR, SMELL, AND FEEL WITH YOUR FIVE SENSES, YOU ARE A CARNAL PERSON.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD MANIFEST.
