Do you often smell that fire smell in your house, although there's no fire anywhere?

I'm asking, b/c I now ham smelling that strong fire smell in the room with me as I type this.

I learned somewhere on TBN that someone talked about the source of where that smell comes from. It comes from God.

So, with that thought in mind, what do YOU think is going on here?


Tammy

SisterNChrist,


I recently smelled a odor like something burning/burnt by fire a couple of times this year on the first floor of our house. Each time I looked around to try to find the source. I couldn't find it. I checked the fireplace, which we have not used since we moved into the house in July, 1999, but it wasn't coming from there. Strange.
I don't know whether it was good or bad.

This is so strange....Honestly, I have been smelling the smell of smoke for several years now in my bedroom, especially when Im trying to sleep.

Ive looked and looked and could not find it. Told my husband about it, and he looked, then decided I was just smelling something no one else could or I was just strange! lol.

What exactly did they say on TBN was the reason we smell this?

Oh My Gosh!!!!!!!! I almost fell over when I saw this post!!!

For the last several weeks my cat has been standing on the edge of my bed each night sniffing into a corner of the bedroom at the air...... YET THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT I CAN SEE!!! He doesn't seem bothered but his ears do go back and he is very curious. In that same area of the room he has been trying to climb up a bookcase that has Jesus' picture on the top shelf.

Last Sunday night I was reading a book on the martyrs and how several were burned at the stake for refusing to renounce Christ. All of a sudden I could smell smoke and what seemed to be a musty odor of burnt clothing mixed with a faint scent of burning flesh in my room!!!! It was very distinct. My cat started to go crazy! I wasn't sure what it was so I prayed and he calmed down. A sense of peace came over me but I had to sleep elsewhere for two days.The scent is gone now.

One other thing - that Sunday evening I clearly heard the Lord say, "You will go through the fire. You will be tested by fire." I am not sure what He meant by this but I believe it is not about harm that will come to me. Perhaps the soon to come Bema Seat where works tested by fire as the Bible says? Not sure!?!?

Something recently happened where a family member who claimed to be a born again Christian married an atheist and I refused to attend the wedding. Haven't experienced the fall out of that yet but certain it's coming. Not sure if this is what He was referring to or
not.

If anyone has any info on what this is about or thought about this please post!!!!! I am at a complete loss. This has never happened to me before. Thanks!

FAITH

The Lord has made me to understand that fire is coming to the earth. It will be a cleansing fire for those who are humble and a fire of judgment and destruction for those who are haughty and prideful.

I've been smelling it too. Sometimes real strong. For at least a year now.


D. Boyter

I pray it's a cleansing fire for the humble and not the fire of judgment!!!!!

RJ, perhaps you need a bit of this for your armpits as well!!!! We can't have you meeting the King of kings and Lord of lords smelling up the throne room of God!!!! LOL

Looking for my Bible for answers to this fiery smell I kept smelling, I found the following:

Malachi 3:2 (NKJV)~ But who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like a launderers' soap.


Then, there is this:

Matthew 3:11-12 (NKJV) ~ I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

+++++

Matt. 3:12 sounds like the Rapture to me, does it sound same to you?


Tammy

I too have smelled smoke in my house from time to time. No one else ever noticed it.
I would go outside to see if any BBQ or fireplaces were going in near by houses. Nada!

SisterInChrist,

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! He gave me and Farm Girl that verse about three weeks ago!!!! Maybe this is a confirmation that the rapture is during the WHEAT harvest at Pentecost!!!! Oh, I pray!!!! Come Lord Jesus!!!! Come!!!

YSIC..... FAITH

I always smell something burning. Now this is freaking me out.

I also smell fire outside..smells like fireplaces or barbecues weird huh? I wonder why?

Wow... You won't believe this.. Within a few minutes after I posted the humorous side of me above, I had this strange smell hit me.. (I thought about posting this sooner, but decided to get out and put my birds up for the night)..

I thought, hmmm... that could be almost like smoke, but it's more of a different smell than smoke.. And btw, it wasn't my armpits that time...LOL

But yeah, if that's the smell, then I have had that hit me a few times in the last few months.. But when I smelled it before, I didn't relate it to Jesus in anyway because of the uniqueness of the smell... The sweet rose smell before, I thought possibly were angels or Jesus near.. But this smell I had no ideal what or where it was coming from..

Now after this hit me again right after reading this, I know what you're talking about...

I did notice it each time I smelled it, but again I did not even think anything about it be from the Heavenly realm..

I am really glad that you mentioned this now, since it got my attention.. WOW

Jesus moves in a wonderful way, doesn't he..


Joseph

SisterNChrist..when I smelled it nothing was burning in fact nobody was around ..but you are right..it was outside..not inside..

Wow, so glad you brought this up! For years I have smelled a smokiness right at the entrance to my young daughter's room, nowhere else in the house, nowhere else in her room, and nobody else can smell it.

I've been at a loss, wondering if it was spiritual and wondering if it was from God.

There has been some poltergeist activity in her room, so bcs of this I always say a special prayer at her bedtime, and when I do this, the activity stops, but the smoky smell remains!

My experience with smelling a burnt or fire smell in a house has been demon activity. Sometimes attracted to some demonic symbals...like a Ying Yang symbal or something like that.

Nimbus, I believe what you've been smelling is a demon. We got an unidentifiable smoky smell from in our house just the other day...not sure what that was all about...

But oftentimes in the girls' room, we will smell a yucky sulferic smell. We know this is from demons, because after we tell 'whatever' is causing the smell to GO & BE GONE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHIST, it usually immediately dissipates. My girls have also seen 'scary faces' in the corner of the room and been 'pestered' by demons in their sleep, etc. We must keep on fighting the evil one with the authority the Lord has given us...until the devil is finally LOCKED UP IN THAT BURNING LAKE OF BRIMSTONE FOREVER!!! I can't WAIT for that day.

CJ,

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!

He's coming at Pentecost!!!!!! He has to be!!!!!



Come, Lord, Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi SisterNChrist and to all I've been out of the house all day but I did want to get back with you on this. This is a gift of discernment. The smells of smoke mean different things depending on what it smells like. I'll share with you the info that I have. If it smells like campfire it means counsel of God-wisdom. Hang out with God. If its a woodsmoke smell it means burning cleansing. Absolutely if it is sulfur it is a demon. Ask for wisdom. I don't know if you've ever heard of a woman named Kathy Walters. A very godly scottish woman. She had an aroma list out at one time. It might be in one of her books I'm not sure though. This gift is indispensable when going to battle against the enemy ect... holy spirit has been my guide. I don't have anyone at all to discuss this with (would be nice) but the Lord he's the only one who needs to know anyways. I work for the King of Kings. I respect everyone's walk with the Lord or least I try really hard. We're all at different levels doing what the Lord calls each of us to do. Fragrances, smells are all over the bible just have to dig and dig and dig. Hope this helps.

My burning smell has been either a sweet aromic/or wood-type smell. If that tells you anything.

Also, Joseph, I too, have been smelling that Rose-type of smell in my house as well. The last time I smelled it, was at my patio door.


Tammy

Hi Tammy hmm its really hard to say with the wood. I have smelled it too along with a lot of other wood type burning aromas. I would ask for wisdom on that one. Its difficult. It is a good aroma though and definitely from the Lord. I've been learning as the spirit leads me. The rose fragrance means Jesus sweetheart (ah amoire') These fragrances, aromas are from heaven. Their meant to comfort, encourage, spiritual warfare, ect... to lead you as to what to do, how to pray what to pray for ect... Angels smell heavenly and of course demons are going to smell of hell. People don't like to talk about this because it is well unusual. Their not imagining it its real. But its like anything else thats super natural. The bible is unusual, God's world is unusual. Hope this helps. Kind of like words of knowledge. Sometimes being able to discern a spirit can stop a life or death situation or serious injury. Thats when it gets really tense. You can pray for people without them even knowing it like at walmart, ect... because of an aroma. The Lord is awesommmmmmmme! hope this helps. I'm a student though. I don't know if I'll have time to graduate here on earth Billy Graham used to say probably still does that he's always learning from the Lord. Love that man! Anyways, I hope this helps you.

During the past several days, my wife has been saying that she has been smelling the smell of burnt tortillas on her side of our bedroom, when we try to get to sleep. Yet I can't smell anything.

Several months ago, I was smelling what smelled like cigarette smoke on my side, it made it very difficult to get to sleep. In this case, my wife was unable to smell anything.

Since reading this thread, it makes me pray that we will be out of here very soon.

YES! YES! YES! Smell fire almost every night......it's coming from the fireplace across the street!!!!

I smell something burning every so often that is not coming from outside. I always blame it on old wiring in the house , but maybe next time I will pay more attention.

What an unbelievable amazing thread!

Until this, I seemed to be alone is smelling smoke. It began about 3-4 months ago. I live in a retirement complex, and so tho't it was someone's cigarette smoke coming thru vents. I've lived here 8 years this summer, and have NEVER smelled it before these last few months.

I asked my roommate if she could smell it, but it's alway's "no." I came to the conclusion it must be from sinus issue's that to a degree I live with. I even talked to the Rep of our building asking about it. Then I tho't it MUST be smoke from other people's units ~ so I began praying they would move away, and began praying for the whole thing to go!

During this last month it has lessened greatly ~ I'm think'n I should invite it back after reading all this. "I'm sorry Lord if that was YOU!!!"

The majority of time it was at my desk, and strong enough that I would sometimes cover my nose. It was sometimes around the house, but to a much lesser degree.

So, bottom line, what are you all thinking this sense of smoke smell is meaning/saying to us all?

The wall of fire reminds me of the verse in Zechariah ( I think in chapter 1) where God said to Zion (Israel), "I will be a wall of fire around her and the glory in her midst." That wall of fire is a protection and a hiding of God's beloved from the demonic forces.

I remember Reinhard Bohnke telling of an encounter with a former witch. This former witch had attended a meeting Bohnke held somewhere in Africa. They had brought in a high-ranking witch from California to throw curses on him as he preached since the local witches didn't have enough power to stop the evangelistic meetings there. Just as she was about to summon up the demons to wreck the meeting a wall of fire appeared and completely enclosed Reinhard Bohnke, his evangelistic team and all the people attending the meeting. There were hundreds of thousands of people there and all were safe inside the wall of fire. The witch said that the demons ran around and around the group but could not find an opening or a place to slip through the wall of fire.

The former witch was so awed by that level of power that she left satanism and became a born again Christian.

In the past, especially in church, I have smelled fresh baked bread, roses, lillies, jasmine, wine and frankencense at different times. I love Kathy's list of scents and what they mean. I have been in her meetings where the smell of honey (for wisdom, revelation) has come up.

"If it smells like campfire it means counsel of God-wisdom. Hang out with God"


My Christian friend said to me,
Oh what unique perfume.
Is that called campfire?

I'd been out in the wilderness by the fire.
Sweaters absorb smells and orders.

yeah_ I do hang out with God-
does it show?

nice to know I'm not the only one! seriously! I've been smelling Gardenia for 4 years off and on. It is glorious. Yes it does mean wedding. Glory!

This all reminds me of an experience I had 3 or 4 yrs ago. It creeps me out to this day. One afternoon I went outside on the screened in porch. I passed through a small area of the porch -maybe 3 feet wide- that smelled intensely of SULFER. I immediately knew what it was, but wanted to rule everything else out first. I dashed about and outside the house looking/smelling for a gas leak. Nothing. Went back to the spot. Smell was still there, in a precise spot. I KNOW that no matter where it came from, the air should have dispersed it, it being outdoors, but no. Then I stood in the spot and turned around, and it was right where a person needed to be if they wanted to look inside our sliding glass door and observe everything going on inside!

cigarette smoke means this person is in bondage and this person needs deliverance from a spirit of bondage. Love the person though. There are a lot of people in bondage and not just to cigarettes and they don't even know it.

I have smelled lillies on once occasion, and roses twice, in my bedroom. This was a few years ago. Wonderful!

Sarah Thank you! ah one of God's saints to the rescue! to the world yes it does sound coo coo.

Email: Becky98823@yahoo.com

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....


bondage.....icky stuff......demonic.....?


I don't even know what to say to that as one among us all who is keeping clean before the Lord in preparation for His coming.......


A gifting the Lord has given me is discernment, and whenever I smelled the smoke, I never discerned any of those things. Leaves me speechless I have to say.......!

maybe its not about us. The Lord wants us to help him set the captives free, ect... its not about our little comfort level. There are those that the Lord loves and wants. We're already saved but what about the ones who aren't. If theres a problem ask God!

7 butter you are so wise.

there are many wise ones at Rita.
Wow What an honer to fellowship with the saints.

On 5/9/2010, when I originally posted this thread, it was windy outdoors, and inside I smelled smoke around me as I sat at my computer typing.

Yesterday evening, the Holy Spirit led me to these Biblical texts:

Acts 2:1-3 (NKJV) ~ When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

[NOTE: I don't know know any foreign languages, but this I do know--that when we're raptured...we'll be able to understand each others' languages.]

What do you make of this?


Tammy

I have prayed much ~ and cried for the lost!

I think we need to be very careful with lists such as the above, in what is implied from it's content.

It's really unwise to toss some of these words and meanings around towards saints, and then just say if there is a problem take it to the Lord!

If that can't be recognized, then yes, there really is something that needs to be taken to the Lord.

This is interesting. I smelled smoke this morning!

I couldn't locate the source , and it was really raining outside at the time. So it wasn't like anyone was burning trash.

I love being in the loop !
