. Samuel Believer September 3 · Every Day - Savour, Salt - Not Week/Month/Year - Saltless - Good for NOTHING...!!!! Every Day - Savour, Salt - Not Week/Month/Year - Saltless - Good for NOTHING...!!!! Mark 9:50 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. Luke 14:34 34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? We need the renewal of the Holy Ghost EveryDay..Battle Is Every Day...We are always Kings and not for a season...King is always a King..Need to rule over the sin every day..Need to rule over the temptations every day...Need to have Salt everyday..Need to have Savour Everyday...... Bro.Branham says Be reverent. Be holy. Love God. Stand by Him. And as long as you know your life is divvying up with the Bible with purity of heart, purity of thought, love towards your brother, trying your best to upbuild the Kingdom of God and doing those things, dressing right, living right, talking right, going to right places; then you can have all the emotions you want to, and everybody will believe it. Jesus said, Youre the salt of the earth, if the salt lost its savour, its henceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trod under the foot of man. If youre just salt alone, its no good. But if you got the savour in it, youd be salty and the world will be thirsty. You get salty; theyll be thirsty. Oh, my. Bro.Branham says - Let our lives be so salty that others can watch the way we act and live, that theyll want to live that way too. You know Jesus said, Ye are the salt of the earth. But if the law--salt has lost its testimony, its--its savour, its drawing power, then it can no more heal or save. Salt saves when it contacts, and we must--we must be Gods contact. The loss of saltiness occurs in the failure of the Christian to daily take up the cross and follow Christ wholeheartedly. The Word of God tells us that we are not of this world, and to stay separate from the ways of the world When we depart from the Spirit-led lifestyle of genuine discipleship that the distinctions between ourselves and the rest of the world become blurred and our testimony is hindered. Only by remaining focused on Christ and being obedient to Him can we expect to remain salt and light in the world. God told Abraham that if ten righteous people were found in Sodom, He would spare the city. But there were not ten crystals of salt found in Sodom and “The Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven” - (Gen.19:24) Scientifically and technically salt cannot lose it saltiness. Sodium chloride (NaCl) remains sodium chloride. It is a stable molecule. But other minerals can be added to salt. Remember when a christian is mixed with world, sin, corruption, prayerless, bibleless, then he is loosing his saltiness. There should be a zest about us that brings flavor to life. Why do so many people stay home from worship? They don’t want to be bored. Why do preachers give boring sermons? Because they themselves are bored. The blind leading the blind. We need a burning, blazing, passionate, emotional love for the Lord Jesus Christ. Where there is strife, we are to be peacemakers; where there is sorrow, we are to be the ministers of Christ, binding up wounds, and where there is hatred, we are to exemplify the love of God in Christ, returning good for evil (Luke 6:35) The good works of Christ’s followers are to shine for all to see. The following verses in Matthew 5 highlight this truth: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” The sea is full of salt but it is only extracted through the process of boiling (removing the water to retain the salt). The boiling process will either prove or disprove the amount of salt contained in a substance. In the same way, the trials of life will either prove our lives are flavored by God or they will reveal how much we truly lack. Either way, if handled correctly, the end result can be beneficial. For the one, their revelation of Jesus Christ and His grace and faithfulness will increase; for the other, a realization of their small faith can push them to a deeper relationship with God because despite their lack, He remains faithful. Colossians 2:6, 7 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, sowalk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Not Just ROOTED.....Not starting with faith and loosing in the END..... Many Christians dont do the renewal of the Holy Ghost by Prayer, Reading Scriptures, Meditation, Fellowship with GODs people etc., and BEGINS to FALL SLOWLY from the Love of GOD and enter into the Worldly Kingdom. Ephesians 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 1. Rooted 2. Building - CONTINUOUS building 3. Established 4. Stabilised 5. Firm 6. Do Not Move... 7. Faith and Praying continuously without ceasing 8. NOT holding the HEAD 9. Increaseth with the increase of God Colossians 1:23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel Jude 1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holyfaith and praying in the Holy Spirit, Colossians 2:19 - And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together,increaseth with the increase of God. Ephesians 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Example, The minute people stops praying people become foolish.. They will have NO COUNSEL...The counsel is far from me.... WRONG decisions due to PRAYER-LESS..... Believers make wrong decisions when they are PRAYER-LESS... Believers dont know what is right and what is wrong. The minute you stop praying you will get confused...You wont get the DIRECTIONS...You are completely living in DARKNESS.. CHAOS take over your life.... The candle of the wicked is PUT OUT... None of us MUST NOT PUT OUT OUR CANDLE.... Proverbs 24:20 - For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. When the minute you create an atmosphere of darkness you have just invited the demons....Demons will rule over thee.... Demons cannot function in light... Darkness get Over...Demons ....They will live in darkness because there is no light.. When the prayer goes out..The light goes out.. When the light goes out..The demons move in..... Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart withall diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. The chief cause of the wickedness which is every where seen in the world, and in which, alas! each of us has more or less his share, is our curiosity to have some fellowship with darkness, some experience of sin Renewal of the Holy Ghosteveryday... Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me Spiritual cleansing requires deep cleaning -- it is housekeeping that goes beyond what others see and hear. Its a cleansing from within -- inside and out. As your heart gets clean, your language should follow. This is not just talking about bad language, but also negative talk and pessimistic thoughts that contradict the Word of God and faith. This includes the challenge to stop complaining. Renew Your Mind - Take Out the Garbage Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by therenewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will 1 Kings 2:3 – “KEEP” “CHARGE” of “LORD”. “WALK” in “HIS” “WAYS” “KEEP” “HIS” “STATUTES” “HIS” “COMMANDMENTS” “HIS” “JUDGEMENTS” “HIS” “TESTIMONIES” 1 Timothy 4:7 – Need exercise of “GODLINESS”… If you want to be Godliness you need to “EXERCISE” Godliness doesn’t come inherited of the new birth. If it is then there is no need to “EXERCISE” We need to put forth some energy and exercise to be “GODLINESS”. We are exercising for the body change. That’s what the church we need where “ALL” the members should “EXERCISE” of “GODLINESS” Renewing of the Holy Ghost is needed Everyday Revival in the Heart is needed Everyday Need the soul revival every day. Need to feed on the word of God everyday. He will keep the burning inside the heart every day... 1 Timothy 6:4 – doctrine should be preached which according to Godliness, “NOURISHMENT” and “HEALTH” to the “SOUL” We need preaching for the “HEALTH” of the “SOUL” Godly man will always think what God thinks and says about him instead of what people says or thinks about him 1 Timothy 6:5 – “SUPPOSING” GAIN is GODLINESSS who are not Godly à Godly man rejoices bless in mercy, sanctification, salvation, revelation. 1 Timothy 6:6 – “GODLINESS” “WITH” “CONTENTMENT” Not Contentment “ALONE and Not “GODLINESS” ALONE BUT BOTH… Godly man is really a “RICH” MAN…Rich in deed. 1 Timothy 6:11 – “FLEE” from “these” things and “FOLLOW” “AFTER” 2 Peter 1:5 – Add “BESIDE” this – Life with the virtues. We should the “ADD” and Godly man will “ADD” to it” 2 Peter 1:6 – Knowledge “Temperance “ and “Temperance” patience and Patience “GODLINESS” Psalm 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Stages/Progression of Growth of a Sinner person and not about blessed man: 1st Stage - Walking - Accepting Advice 2nd Stage - Standeth - Remember Stopped after Walking - Being a party to its ways 3rd Stage - Sitteth - After Stopped, Sitted - Making a longer Stay - Adopting its attitudes Walking in the counsel of the ungodly. - The ungodly always are ready to give advice, to give counsel. Standing in the way of sinners. - This does not mean standing against them, but with them, agreeing with them. Sitting in the seat of the mockers. - Those who mock, in their ignorance, the ways of God, adopting their attitudes. The road of the scornful is always downward Bro.Branham says - Birds can fly over your house but dont allow to build a nest. we might be disturbed with lust be immediately we need to submit to prayer, reading bible and shoot the devil with the Word of God rifle.... Judges 16:16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that There are so many places where Samson couldnt have stopped the bad fellowship but he didnt....Samson allowed to build the nest...Finally in Judges 16:16 - she started pestered him DAILY with HER WORDS....... Bro.Branham says - Listen young man, here this afternoon, young lady, just as soon as you get out from under Christian influence youre in bad hands, youre on your road back, right then. Remember that, just as soon as you get from under the influence of the Holy Spirit. I dont care who the boy is or who the girl is, if theyre not saved keep away from them. Thats exactly right. And men, you too. 50-0827A “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 13:14). Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but betransformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 257-3 SARDISEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.7 THE WARNING He was going to (according to His promise) take the church back from the depth of Satan in the Dark Ages to the Depth of God that they had at Pentecost and in the first few years of the existence of the church. 239-3 THYATIREAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.6 They have not known the depths of Satan. It seems that this verse has been left out by the commentators for they were not able to figure out what doctrine or what experiences are meant by this phrase. Actually it is simple to know what is meant. Let us first know what the depth of God is, and the opposite will be true for the depth of Satan. .... .... when a man experiences the depth of God in his life, it is an actual personal experience of the Spirit of God indwelling him, and his mind is illuminated by the wisdom and knowledge of God through the Word.
