Good Morning Sunshine! The Fragrance Of Fire, Testifies Of The Oil That’s On Your Life!

2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) ~ “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.”

God has anointed you not just to endure the fire but to release a fragrance from it. The oil that He extracted from your trials was not wasted and it will leave a scent of surrender, victory, and faith in every room that you enter. What was once your warfare will now become your worship. Your fragrance will testify of the oil that you carry. You will smell like the Glory of where you’ve been with God, not just the smoke of what you’ve come through.”

There is a sacred connection between your fire and your fragrance. You can’t go through the furnace and come out without a scent. The question is, what will your life smell like when the fire subsides? The Lord revealed something simple yet profound, your fragrance of fire will testify of your oil! It will tell the story of who kept you, what you survived, and what you now carry.

When bacon sizzles in a hot skillet, it releases oil, but more than that, it releases fragrance. The oil it produces stays in the pan, but the fragrance lingers in the air long after the pan is removed from the heat. Your life in the Spirit works the same way. You don’t just survive the fire; you leave the fragrance behind you that testifies to the oil that was drawn from you under pressure.

2 Corinthians 2:14 says God makes known the “savour of His knowledge by us in every place.” So, in other words, your life will carry a scent that others can perceive, when you enter the room! You are not just a person; you are a vessel of fragrance. And your fragrance speaks volumes about where you’ve been with your God. The question is, does your fragrance smell like faith or like frustration? Does it carry the scent of surrender or the residue of bitterness?

You were never meant to walk through trials and leave no trace of God’s Glory on you. Your pressing has a perfume, and your perfume has a scent. Your tears left a trail. The oil you now carry is not silent, it is speaking. Your fragrance testifies of the process you’ve endured. It whispers to the world that you’ve been in the fire, but you didn’t burn out, you birthed oil. Your oil is your testimony of the undeniable evidence that you survived what was designed to crush you. And your fragrance is your invitation to the world, and you can say, come and see what the Lord has done through me.

Many go through the fire but never protect the fragrance. They let offense, fear, and spiritual fatigue taint their aroma. But when you let God have your fire and your oil, you will not carry the smell of smoke, you will carry the scent of surrender. Your life will leave behind the fragrance of one who has been with God, not just in public, but in the private places where the oil was born.

Today, you are receiving your invitation to walk with a fragrance that testifies. The fire may have been intense, but the oil that now flows is undeniable. When people encounter you, may they not only hear your story but smell your surrender. May your life smell like prayer, like purity, like process, and like power. You no longer have to convince any one of the anointing you carry on your life, your fragrance will testify for you! 

The fragrance of fire is not something that can be hidden; it is the undeniable evidence of the oil that flows from a life fully surrendered to God. The scent you now carry is not one of bitterness, regret, or disappointment, but the sweet aroma of faith, endurance, and victory. You have been pressed, refined, and anointed to leave a trail that glorifies God, and this fragrance is the lasting testimony of what you have survived. 

It is the proof that you have been with God in the secret place, and the oil now flows from the crushing of what you once feared. The fragrance is not for vanity but for victory, not to promote yourself but to glorify God. Your fragrance will shift atmospheres and draw hearts closer to the Father. It will speak even when you do not. It will minister even when you are silent. This is not a fragrance that fades in the face of adversity; it is preserved through reverence and protected by intentional surrender. 

Today, choose to guard what you carry, to protect the oil, and to keep the fragrance pure from the contamination of offense, weariness, or distraction. The life you now live will smell like surrender, strength, and the sweetness of the Savior. This fragrance is your living testimony, and it will forever point back to the One who refined you through the fire in the first place.

Let’s Pray: 

Father, Thank You for the oil that flows from the places I thought would destroy me. Thank You for the fragrance that now testifies of the journey I’ve walked with You. I surrender all over again, not just the outcome, but the process. I ask You to saturate me with fresh oil and to purify the fragrance I release. Let my life speak, even when my words are few. Let the scent I leave behind be soaked in surrender, not self-promotion. Father, I repent for the times I allowed bitterness to taint my fragrance and frustration to contaminate my oil. Wash me, purify me, and refine me again. Let the aroma of my life draw others into Your Presence and remind them of Your faithfulness. Teach me to carry my oil with reverence. Guard me from pouring into places where the oil will not be honored. Give me wisdom to discern where to release it, when to protect it, and how to steward it well. I ask You, Father, to help me walk with intentionality. Let every room I enter shift because I’ve been there with You. Let my prayers linger like perfume. Let my worship rise like incense. Let my obedience smell like trust. May my fragrance of fire testify long after I’ve left the room. Teach me to protect the purity of my oil. May I never let the residue of old wounds stain the aroma of what You’ve anointed me to carry. Father, surround me with those who carry oil, those who will help protect my fragrance, and those who will honor the cost of my pressing. I pray that I will never waste my oil chasing applause. Let my pursuit always be Your Presence. Even when the fragrance is costly, I say yes. Even when the weight is heavy, I say yes. Even when the fire intensifies, I say yes. Thank You for trusting me with this oil and this fragrance. I receive the fresh wind of Your Spirit to carry it with boldness, humility, and joy. Let my life drip with oil. Let my fragrance testify. And let it all bring Glory to You. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I Pray. Amen! 

Blessings…

Love, Dr. Jean…
