Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13
Have you ever been in a room filled with cigarette smoke? Perhaps you were in a restaurant, car or bar and the the entire place was saturated in smoke. Even well after you've left that environment your hair and clothes still smelled of that Oder.
It's no different in the spiritual realm. You cannot spend time in the presence of the Lord without His glory, His majesty, His beauty, His power, His love and His peace rubbing off on you. You will begin to “smell” like Jesus, be bold like Him and be filled with peace like Him! No wonder Acts 4:13 records this about Peter and John: “Now when they [the rulers and elders of Israel] saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.”
Beloved, practice the presence of the Lord in your life. Talk to Him, spend time with Him and you will experience the undeniable evidence of His presence in your life. To the point where you will now begin to create an atmosphere that will impacted / influence those in your presence. Sending them home with the fragrance of Christ!
