When He Is Come - Media Sabda Org

the beautiful type of Christ our great High Priest, Who was anointed with the Holy Spirit before He
shed His blood on Calvary. This teaches us the great doctrinal truths that Christ must shed His blood
before we can receive the Holy Ghost, and that we need the application of the blood, that is, become
regenerated, before we receive the application of the oil, that is, the baptism with the Spirit. No
machine can run without oil. If there were no oil, the progress of the earth would be very slow. It is
oil which relieves friction and allows the machinery to run smoothly.
The baptism with the Holy Spirit will give us unction, the proper initiations, the divine and human
recognitions, illumination, still our troubled waters, give us a heavenly fragrance, purity, separation,
holiness and power. We are the machine and He is the oil. Let us yield ourselves to Him and allow
Him to be the holy oil to do and be all this and more to us.
IV. Wind
Wind is invisible; it cannot be seen. Wind may be heard and felt and the manifestation of it may
be seen. It is powerful. Wind is refreshing, reviving, and independent. No person can traffic with the
wind. People may traffic with fire, water, and oil; but wind is independent. No man can control it,
keep it, buy it, or sell it. It goes everywhere. This is like the Holy Spirit. He is invisible and cannot
be seen. He is independent. No person, or church, can monopolize the Holy Spirit. He is reviving
and refreshing like the wind, and may be felt, and His manifestations seen, but He is invisible. The
Greek word for wind is "pneuma" which also is the word for spirit. Christ said, "Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit [wind], he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." The water and the
wind symbolize the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, which are the two agents employed in the
production of the new birth. One of the manifestations of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day
of Pentecost was wind. Ezekiel saw a valley which was full of bones. There were very many and they
were very dry. When he was asked whether these bones could live, he answered, "O Lord God, thou
knowest." He was commanded to prophesy unto those bones and as he did so, there was a noise and
a shaking and the bones came together, bone to his bone, but there was no life in them. Again he was
commanded to prophesy, this time unto the wind, saying, "Come from the four winds, 0 breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live." As he prophesied, breath came into them and they
lived. Spiritual life can only come through the operation of the Spirit.
In the Song of Solomon, which is a divine love song and a dialogue between the bride and the
bridegroom, the groom expressed unto the bride what she was to him. He said to her, "A garden
inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of
pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, spikenard and saffron; calamus and
cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices; a fountain of
gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon" (Song of Solomon 4:12-15). Then the
bride responds to the love and admiration of the groom by praying: "Awake, 0 north wind, and come,
thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into
his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits" (S. of S. 4:16). This is very significant and typical of the
church and the heavenly Bridegroom. The church means much to Christ and He should mean much
to the church. He recognizes and appreciates all the gifts, virtues, graces, and fruits of the church His
bride. Oh, that we like the bride might pray, "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south." The
north wind is cool and refreshing and the south wind is warm and reviving. The two winds blowing
