from opposite directions, one being cool and the other warm, when converging form a whirlwind, which draws upward. The wind here symbolizes the Holy Spirit in His energizing and operating performance. His work is heavenward and the current of His operations draws heavenward. Then like the bride, may we pray, "blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out." She desired that her bridegroom might get the fragrance of the fruits and flowers of her garden, which would revive, inspire, and please him. Even so, we should desire the Holy Spirit to take the fruits and fragrances of our lives and waft them heavenward that our heavenly Bridegroom might smell of them, be pleased, and receive them. Then she also prayed, "Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits," even so, should we desire and pray for the coming of our heavenly Bridegroom into the garden of our hearts, to partake of the pleasant fruits and be satisfied. Such should be the operations of the Holy Spirit upon our lives, and as the divine Wind, carry the fragrance of our lives unto Christ, which will inspire His coming to us. V. Water Water is a mystery. It also symbolizes the Spirit, which gives us an idea of the character of the Holy Spirit. Water is refreshing, reviving, and satisfying. Salvation is likened to water, and the drinking of it to the receiving and partaking of salvation. In the Old Testament, salvation is likened to taking a cup and the drinking of water. In the New Testament, salvation is likened unto a well of living water. Christ illustrated salvation thus to the woman at Jacob's well, saying that the water that He would give to drink should be a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Then later on, Christ likened the coming of the Holy Spirit into our hearts to rivers of living water, and that the indwelling Spirit would flow through us as rivers of living water. The Holy Spirit is the water and we are the channels. We should freely offer ourselves to Him as channels through which He may flow to bring refreshings to us and others. VI. Fire Fire is a cleansing element. It is illuminating, searching, and purifying. Such is the work of the Holy Spirit. John, the baptizer, said that Christ would baptize people with the Holy Ghost and with fire. On the day of Pentecost, at the outpouring of the Spirit there appeared unto the one hundred and twenty, cloven tongues like as of fire, and sat on each of them. In the Old Testament, the sacrifices were consumed by fire. Only that which is consumed, empowered, energized, and inspired by the Holy Spirit will be accepted in the sight of God. The fire on the brazen altar was given by the Lord Who started it for the priests, but it was up to the priests to never allow it to go out. It was up to them to replenish the fuel and carry out the ashes. The way to keep a fire from going out is to provide fuel for it and see that the ashes are removed. So it is in our lives. The fire of the Holy Spirit falls upon the altar of our hearts, but it is up to us to see that it never becomes extinguished, and, like the priests, whether by day, or by night, see that plenty of fuel is added to the fire. This is done by praying in the night and in the day, by studying the Bible, and by testimony. If this is done the fire will never become extinguished. Let us be the altar and allow Him ever to burn in our hearts.
VII. Wine Wine also symbolizes the Holy Spirit. It is a product of the fruit of the vine. In Bible times, it was used as a medicine, a cleanser, and a food. It stimulates and strengthens and was a symbol of joy. Such is the work of the Spirit. He stimulates, strengthens, and gives heavenly joy. We are commanded not to be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the wine of the kingdom and the wine which comes from above. Let us partake of Him and be energized and strengthened by Him. *************************************
