Styrax 1 Dram

STYRAX / STACTE - PURITY OF HEART / PURITY OF SPEECH

 

Styrax comes from the word, nataph, meaning to distill, or to fall in drops like rain.  In the Song of Songs 4:11 we see it describing speech flowing from the Bridegroom speaking to His bride, “Your lips my bride drip honey; honey and milk are under your tongue”.  We see this word fulfilled in Christ in Luke 4:22, “All bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth”.  Yeshua illustrated this completely with every word He uttered.  He spoke no idle words but only those of eternal truth.

 

Our portion in this anointing is for the fire of God to purify our hearts, "for the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart".
