The Holy Spirit transforms churches into Farmers' Markets. The fragrance of His fruit rises from intimacy with Jesus, the root of the church.
The prayerful know that praying is hard work, but it bears genuine fruit, and fills the air with the fragrance of Christ. The prayerless settle for their own aroma.
Investing tireless sweat equity, into a man-made machine, cranks out cheap replicas of real fruit. The prayerless must settle for an appearance of the fruit of the Spirit, but they will never know the fragrance of it.
A prayerless church settles for an appearance, and produces imitation fruit. A prayerful church has the fragrance of the real fruit of the Spirit, not an appearance of it.
