THE  PERFUME  BOTTLE

In my very busy life as a missionary I have one indulgence - I buy a bottle of exquisite French Perfume at a Duty Free shop on my way in and out of New Zealand, the country of my birth. Because I like to smell nice I don’t consider the Lord begrudges me this one simple indulgence. In fact, knowing how important it is to me, the Lord used it as an illustration and a focal point in a dream He gave to me recently.

In this dream I was looking at my perfume bottle. The bottle was almost empty; there was just a small amount of perfume remaining at the bottom of the bottle. I looked at it with considerable concern as I realized I had no immediate plans to travel to my homeland, and would therefore be unable to purchase a replacement bottle in the near future. I gazed at the bottle wondering what to do?

Ah, yes, I had the answer! All I had to do was replace the already used perfume with water! But as the water hit the perfume there was a chemical explosion in the bottle. The water and perfume fused together and began to boil. They bubbled and bubbled until all the liquid bubbled away! A vapor formed and escaped out through the top of the bottle.

I gazed at the empty bottle with great concern. Once I had a little perfume and now all I had was an empty bottle.

At this point I awoke, having no immediate revelation concerning the meaning of the dream. It was some time later that the Lord revealed to me what He had been saying. I want to share with you the interpretation of this dream and what it means for you and me as members of the Body of Christ worldwide.

There are three parts to this dream and three areas of discussion in relation to the interpretation. Let us look first at the perfume.

The Perfume

The perfume speaks to us about the Holy Spirit: the beautiful fragrance of the Holy Spirit flowing through and out of our lives. There is a fragrant smell that God wants to bring forth from each of us that will only come as we submit to His precious Holy Spirit.

In the dream there was only a very small portion of perfume in the bottom of the bottle. When we think of perfume in Biblical terms, we think of oil. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Bible speaks to us about oil. Oil comes from the olive, which is poetically referred to as the ‘king’ of the trees in Judges 9:8-9. Whilst in Morocco and Spain I have seen the harvesting of the olives. The harvesters put large tarpaulins under each tree then they beat the branches of the trees with sticks; they literally beat the olives off the trees. Once the olives drop onto the tarpaulin, they are loaded into horse-driven carts and taken to the factory to be crushed into olive oil.

“You shall command the Israelites to provide you with pure oil of crushed olives for the light, to cause it to burn continually [every night]” (Exodus 27:20 - HNV). 

“Command the Israelites that they bring to you pure oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand] to cause a lamp to burn continually” (Leviticus 24:2 - HNV). 

“You will sow but won’t reap. You will tread the olives but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes but won’t drink the wine” (Micah 6:15 - HNV).

“They press olives for oil, and grapes for wine, but they themselves are thirsty” (Job 24:11 – GNB).

You can see that in the harvesting of olives, several things have to happen to them before they can be used. They are beaten; they are trodden on; they are crushed; they are pressed. They cannot be used until this process occurs.

·       There was no fragrance, no light for the lamp without the crushing, beating,

breaking and pressing.

·       This too is God’s process for each one of us.

·       If we want the fragrance of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we must yield to the breaking, crushing, pressing and squeezing process also.

“Oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices” (Exodus 25:6 – YLT).

“He made the holy anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit] and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer” (Exodus 37:29 – HNV). 

The light from our lives is not to go out day or night. There is to be sweet incense coming forth from our lives continually.

 “And Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him”  (Leviticus 8:30 – HNV).

“And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt or trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. And the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord; And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt or trespass offering [which he has previously placed in each of these places]. And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him who is to be cleansed and make atonement for him before the Lord” (Leviticus 14:14-18 – Amp.).

The priest puts the oil where the blood has already been put; where the blood of the precious sacrifice will be (Jesus Christ is the oil of the anointing of the Holy Spirit). When we put the oil over the blood, the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be poured out.

We see that oil had special purposes in the Scriptures.

Oil was used to anoint kings.

Samuel anointed David to be king over Israel.

“The Lord said to Samuel, ‘How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided for Myself a king among his sons.’ Samuel said, ‘How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.’ And the Lord said, ‘Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.’ And Samuel did what the Lord said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming and said, ‘Have you come peaceably?’ And he said, ‘Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.’ And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and called them to the sacrifice. When they had come, he looked on Eliab [the eldest son] and said, ‘Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him. But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’ Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, ‘Neither has the Lord chosen this one.’ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. Samuel said, ‘Nor has the Lord chosen him.’ Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen any of these.’ Then [he] said to Jesse, ‘Are all your sons here?’ [Jesse] said, ‘There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep.’ Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.’ Jesse sent and brought him. David had a healthy reddish complexion and beautiful eyes, and was fine-looking. The Lord said [to Samuel], ‘Arise, anoint him; this is he.’ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah” (1 Samuel 16:1-13,

Amp.).

In Christ we are kings.

·       We are anointed by the King of kings and Lord of lords.

·        We are to be kings and priests of the most high God.

·        We are to be carriers of the glory of God; anointed by the King.

“But you have been anointed by [you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from] the Holy One, and you all know [the Truth] all things” (1 John 2:20, Amp.).

“But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do]” (1 John 2:27 – Amp.).

·       We are anointed by the Holy One - Jesus.

·       We are anointed to die!

·       Just as He was anointed to die, so are we.

“And He said to all, ‘If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]. For whoever would preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death]’” (Luke 9:23-24, Amp.).

“Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume” (John 12:3 – Amp.). 

“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no regard for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever and ever.]” (John 12:24-25, Amp.)

“And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]. For whoever would preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death]” (Luke 9:23-24, Amp.).

If we want to save our lives we must first lose them. We are to deny ourselves and take up the cross daily. Daily dying! The cross speaks to us about death - death to self; dying so that others may live. The grain of wheat has to fall in the ground and die. Only when it dies do many seeds come forth. If there is no death, there is no resurrection. Death is a must - death to self.

I want to ask you, reader; When did you last say, “I want, I think, I feel?” This is self! The I in me has to die. I must humble myself and die. It's a choice. I choose to humble myself so that the precious fragrance of the Holy Spirit may be poured forth in my life.

Mary took her best and poured it out to anoint Jesus. She poured out the perfume and the fragrance filled the place.

·       Will we be poured out for Jesus?

·       Will we yield to the Holy Spirit to be broken and poured out for others?

When the penniless widow of a deceased prophet approached Elisha, she was in a desperate situation - the creditor had come to receive that which was owing to him. 

“Elisha said to her, ‘What shall I do for you? Tell me, what have you [of sale value] in the house?’ She said, ‘Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil’”

(2 Kings 4:2 – Amp.). 

What do you have in your hand today? The oil in your hand today has the potential to bring life change!

Topping Up With Water

Let us look at the second section of the dream where I took water and filled the almost empty perfume bottle. What does this water mean and what is its significance? 

When we study the Bible we realize that water is of special significance in the Scriptures. Water brings life, refreshing, renewing; reviving us. Without water we cannot live. It needs to be pure, clean, fresh water.

Let us look at the passage in John 4, which has something important to impart to us. Here is a woman who, for some reason, could not go to the well when the other women did. Why not? Was it because she was despised and rejected by all the other women?  The other women did not come to the well in the heat of the day, yet here she was, in the heat of the day . . . and a man, a Jewish Man, is asking her for a drink! Now to us that doesn’t seem in any way unusual, but the woman was a Samaritan and the Jews absolutely despised them. And it wasn’t just any man - it was Jesus.

“Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Give Me a drink--For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food--The Samaritan woman said to Him, ‘How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan [and a] woman, for a drink?--For the Jews have nothing to do with the Samaritans’-- Jesus answered her, ‘If you had only known and had recognized God's gift and Who this is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him [instead] and He would have given you living water.’ She said to Him, ‘Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no drawing bucket] and the well is deep; how then can You provide living water? [Where do You get Your living water?] Are You greater than and superior to our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?’ Jesus answered her, ‘All who drink of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.’ The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never get thirsty nor have to come [continually all the way] here to draw” (John 4:7-15, Amp.).

Jesus promises to give her living water. He knows things about her He could never have known except the Holy Spirit revealed it to Him. He prophesies into her life, using the word of wisdom and knowledge to speak words of revelation to her. She is so impacted by what Jesus says that she goes and tells her whole village. She brings her whole village to Jesus, all because He gives her living water, the water of life.

The precious Word of God is living water to our thirsty souls. We are to drink deeply and daily of this water. We could never survive in the natural without water and it is the same for our daily Christian living; we cannot survive in the spiritual unless we have spiritual water. We are to put our roots down deep in the Word of God. The root system is the basis for the tree: as the tree, so are its roots.

“Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night (see Romans 13:8-10; Galatians 3:1-29; 2 Timothy 3:16). And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]” (Psalm 1:1-3, Amp.).

“[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8, Amp.).

 “This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [His baptism and His death], Jesus Christ (the Messiah)--not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit is the Truth. So there are three witnesses in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are One; and there are three witnesses on the earth: the spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides]” (1 John 5:6-8, Amp.).

Here we see the linking of the water, the spirit and the blood. The Holy Spirit does not come to any of us unless we first receive the sacrifice of Jesus shedding His blood for us.

In my dream the water had been mixed with the perfume, causing a chemical explosion where the water and the perfume react together and boil. They bubble and bubble furiously until they can bubble no more. This bubbling creates a fine vapor, which rises and escapes out of the top of the bottle.

The Chemical Explosion!

What then is the chemical explosion? This is the third part of the dream. When we mix the water of the Word of God with the anointing, the perfume of the Holy Spirit of brokenness, we get a chemical explosion – that of signs, wonders and miracles!

Do you want signs, wonders and miracles? Then mix the water of the Word of God with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Put your roots down deep in the Word. Spend more time with the Lord. Mix this with the humility of crushing, of dying, of humbling yourself, and you will know a chemical explosion, both in your life and in your ministry.

“But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth” (Acts 1:8 – Amp.).

The word power in this verse comes from the Greek word dunamis, meaning dynamite or an explosion. When the water of God’s Word and the perfume of the Holy Spirit are mixed together in our lives, there will be an explosion in the effectiveness of our witnessing.

We will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, the place where Jesus was spat upon, beaten, crushed and crucified. Jerusalem for us represents the crushing and the beating of the olives, the dying to self. Jerusalem was also the capital city of the day. The disciples did not live in Jerusalem; their home town was elsewhere. We too are called to reach the capital city of whatever region we live in. Judea - the surrounding countryside - also speaks of death for this was the very place where Herod had all the baby boys murdered in his diabolical effort to “eradicate” Baby Jesus. When we take the Gospel to Judea there will be those waiting to deliver a death blow to the message we bring. And Samaria was a place despised by the Jews; a place where they had nothing in common with the people; a place where they didn’t want to GO. Then comes the ends of the earth, which includes New Zealand, Russia and the Middle East. In all these places we will receive power and authority to GO and be His explosive, dynamic witnesses! Many Christians never have power and authority, as they never obey this command and GO!

Let me ask you today – do you want this power, this ability, this might? Do you want the dunamis power of the Holy Spirit? Well, the answer is in your own hands. Just obey this command and GO.

“Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, ‘All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be)’” (Matthew 28:18-20, Amp.).

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]. He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned. And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well’” (Mark 16:15-18, Amp.).

We are commanded to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. This is a command of Jesus. This is not optional extra. Many Christians say, “Well God has not spoken to me about that yet!” But let me challenge you today. God does not have to speak to us about this again. He has already spoken. It is very clear in His Word that we are to walk in obedience. Whatever He says we must do. Where it says pray - we are to pray, and it is the same with all other aspects of our Christian life. Why then, when the Great Commission is spoken of, do we suddenly change the rules and say it is optional! If God has spoken, we just have to bite the bullet and obey!

“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you” (John 15:16 – Amp.). 

“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father” (John 14:12 – Amp.). 

If we are to do the works that Jesus did, we must recognize and obey His command. If this great harvest is to be brought in, we must obey His command and go.

What about our neighbor, you might ask? Don't we have to reach our neighbor first? Surely the Great Commission deals with my home town, my neighbor, my family, etc. first? My reply is, no, it does not! When Jesus spoke about our neighbor, it was in a completely different setting. Jesus expects us to reach the world and not be limited just to our family, our friends and our own community. Look with me at what the Word of God says about this.

“Jesus answered, ‘The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment (see Deuteronomy 6:4-5). The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these’” (Mark 12:29-31, Amp; see Leviticus 19:18).

“Honor your father and your mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself” (Matthew 19:19 - Amp; see also Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39).

“And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, ‘Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah's kingdom]?’ Jesus said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? How do you read it?’ And he replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself (see also Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:5). And Jesus said to him, ‘You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live [enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God]” (Luke 10:25-28, Amp.).

“Teacher, which kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? And He replied to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect) (Deuteronomy 6:5). This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself (Leviticus 19:18). These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:36-40, Amp.).

In the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, we clearly see that when a certain lawyer quoted Scripture to Jesus about loving your neighbor as yourself, Jesus, in His reply, enforced to him that his neighbor included an unknown victim, beaten and lying on the side of the road. In fact the neighbor in Jesus’ story was a despised Samaritan! One whom the lawyer would have hated! But Jesus was reiterating the fact that our neighbor does not have to be known to us, nor live in the same vicinity . . . he only has to live in the same world!!

Jesus told us to love the Lord our God with all our passion, all our intellect, and with all our mind and understanding. He said we must love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Can I ask you - how do you love yourself? Do you feed and clothe yourself? Do you take care of your natural body? How do you love yourself in the spiritual sense? Do you read the Word, feed on the Word, have fellowship with other believers, cleanse yourself by the blood of Jesus, etc? What then about our neighbor? Surely we will look after their spiritual wellbeing in the same way. Surely this commandment deals with reaching the “whosoever wills” for Jesus, witnessing and discipling them into the Kingdom? Jesus had already dealt with the subject of our neighbor, and He clearly spoke of the lost and of the nations!

Paul repeats this command in Romans 13:9-10. “The commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet (have an evil desire), and any other commandment, are summed up in the single command, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself (see also Exodus 20:13-17). Love does no wrong to one’s neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore love meets all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the Law” (Amp.).

“You shall not take vengeance (revenge) or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord” (Leviticus 19:18 – RSV; see also Matthew 5:43-46; Romans 12:17, 19).

“For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is complied with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself” (Galatians 5:14 – Amp.).

“If indeed you [really] fulfill the royal Law in accordance with the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as [you love] yourself, you do well” (James 2:8 – Amp.). 

But the bottle is nearly empty, Lord!

Remember then the dream . . . I was looking at my perfume bottle. This bottle was almost empty of perfume with just a small amount remaining at the bottom of the bottle. I looked at it with considerable concern, realizing I was not traveling out of the country through Duty Free, and would therefore be unable to buy a replacement bottle. I gazed at the bottle wondering what to do?

In the next scene I filled the bottle up with water! As the water hit the perfume there was a chemical explosion in the bottle. The water and perfume mixed together and began to boil. They bubbled and bubbled until all the liquid bubbled away! A vapor formed and all the vapor escaped through the top of the bottle. I gazed at the empty bottle with great concern. Once I had a little perfume and now it had all disappeared into vapor. At this point I awoke.

Think again about the things I have shared with you. Brokenness is the precious perfume that is in the bottle. Mix brokenness with the Water of the Word of God and you will get a chemical explosion of signs, wonders and miracles. This will cause a chemical explosion that will create a vapor, which speaks of the Gospel of the Kingdom. This precious Gospel will go out into all the world, bringing transformation in our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth.

·       The harvest is white - the labourers are few!

·       Jesus commands us to GO!

·       Will you obey this command of Jesus to GO into all the world and preach the Gospel?

Will you pray with me: “Lord, make me willing to be made willing. Break me, Lord. I humble myself today so the fragrance of the anointing might be poured forth from my life. Lord, I want to put my roots down deep in the Word of God, I want to drink deep from the living water. Lord, I take the water of the Word and mix it with the brokenness the anointing brings. Let there be a chemical explosion in my life and the lives of those I touch. Lord, I recognize that I need to obey Your Word. Your Word says I am to go into all the world and preach the Gospel: that all power and all authority is given unto me to go. Lord, I surrender to You today. I will obey Your Word and go to the nations, in the Name of Jesus.”
