Good Morning,
Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men." Salt is a raw material from sodium chloride, that chemical companies transform into chlorine and soda ash. Salt is a processing aid in innumerable industries and the means by which animal nutrition experts ensure the health and productivity of livestock and poultry. There are over 14,000 uses of salt, many of which involve helping us with household tasks. Salt accents the flavor of meat, brings out individuality of vegetables and put oomph into bland starches, and deepens the flavor of delicate desserts. It can be used as a cleaning agent, an effective dentifrice, antiseptic, medicinal purposes, and improves complexion. It can be used for deicer for wintry roads. That is just a few of the uses for salt. The Word tells us that we are the salt of the earth. We should be a great benefit and blessing to the whole world and your specific sphere of the world that God has placed you in. How about salt increases ones thirst? We should be causing the sphere that we walk in to become thirsty to know our Father and our Savior. The world should look at us and have an insatiable desire for water. Also we have been the reason that the world is still preserved. Jesus said, that if salt loses its saltiness it is good for nothing else, except that the world of men trample it under their feet. When we as salt become bland and indistinguishable, not effecting the food that we are sprinkled upon we become salt that is stomped on. We as the salt must not try to fit in to our world, but be the ambassadors from heaven creating a great thirst for those who live in a dry and weary land. Right now the world is experiencing a 'drought in their souls.' All of their natural and normal sources of satisfying their thirst for satisfaction is drying up. This is the time that we should rise up in the spirit of God and say as Jesus said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink. He that believes in Me as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters." (John 7:37-38)
As we step up our salt effectiveness and refuse to assimilate to our world, by looking, sounding and walking as they do, we will experience a great well of refreshing water spring up within us too.

The spirit says;
I will pour out water to you My children and I will quench your thirst and irrigate your parched dry land. All of those places in your life that have experienced dryness. I will pour My spirit out like rivers, living waters that will bless your descendants and all of your children will be called blessed. They will thrive and blossom like watered grass and willows on the riverbanks. You will drink deeply of My refreshing glory, even as infants that drink deeply of their mother's breast. Rivers of peace and prosperity shall overwhelm you, My great faithful salt bearers. Sprinkle and cause thirst in those who are waiting for you to rise up, saying, "Come all who are thirsty." You will be refreshed and your thoughts will be clear and you will exercise more wisdom and insight than even you believed was imaginable. Streams of waters will flow down every high place to open broad places in your heart and mind. You will perform all that has been spoken over you in times past. You will fulfill every prophetic Word, for you will war with those words and not let one fall to the ground. A new you is arising from this shell of transition. Hold on to My hand as I bring you forth. Push! I see the new horizon, and now your eyes will see it too. Let's shake the world with our flavor. It is unique and much to be desired by all.
Love,
Pastor D.
