From the Smell of Smoke to the Fragrance of Heaven

If you’re one returning from the flames of this life, know that you will be received and Loved by your Heavenly Father.

In my early moments on September 15, the Holy Spirit showed me a man with a small wisp of smoke rising from his head.
 
At first, I thought maybe it was the fire of God that was upon him, but as I watched the scene unfolding, Jesus came in approached the man, and began to pour oil upon his head. As this Golden Oil ran down his hair and onto his face, his beard, and his shirt the Wisp of smoke disappeared.
 
The Holy Spirit then declared that this man was a “Brand Plucked out of the Fire”
 
“And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this a BRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRE? Now Joshua was CLOTHED WITH FILTHY GARMENTS and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord]. And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, TAKE AWAY THE FILTHY GARMENTS FROM HIM. And He said to [Joshua], Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.” Zechariah 3:2-4
 
As I watched this Anointing Oil continuing to run down upon the rest of this man’s body I saw his clothes changing right in front of my eyes. His shirt and pants which were stained with burn marks disappeared and they turned into the whitest of white clothes that I had ever seen. Even the smallest hint of smoke was gone from him.
 
As I asked the Lord who this individual was, the Holy Spirit said,
 
“He represents a group of prodigals who will be returning, for they had a difficult time in the fires of this life, but as they are returning, many of them will be carrying the residue of their experiences upon them. Their garments and even their bodies were affected by the flames, but I Am going to place My Anointing upon them and though their sins be as Scarlet, they shall become whiter than Snow (Isaiah 1:18)!”
 
There are many returning prodigals in the coming time, these are those who have been damaged by the fires of this life. They bear upon them the stains of the things they’ve gone through and even the residue of the smoke from their experiences, but how will we receive them upon their return?
 
Jesus Christ is going to pour His Anointing oil upon their heads, change their raiment, and remove even the smell of the smoke from them in the process. When this happens they will be transformed into powerful Kingdom saints who will carry His Power and Presence to the outermost parts of the World.
 
These may smell like smoke for a while, but as the Holy Spirit continues to work upon each one of them, everything (their clothes, attitudes, and lives) will be transformed by the Power of His Cross and His Resurrection.
 
If you’re one returning from the flames of this life, know that you will be received and Loved by your Heavenly Father and His Son and that He intends to heal you completely while undoing the works of the devil at the same time! Transformation is coming as the Holy Spirit pours the Oil out upon your head, your Body, and your life!
