Are You Salty? By Os Hillman

“Everyone will be salted with fire.” Mark 9:49

Jesus used parables to communicate principles of the Kingdom of God. He said each believer’s life should have the same impact on his or her world as salt has on food. Salt gives food flavor and brings out the best, while at the same time it serves as a preservative.

What allows a Christian to become salty? Fire. God knows that each believer needs a degree of testing by fire in order for Christ’s fragrance to be manifested.
We cannot become salty without this deeper work of the Holy Spirit’s fire in our lives.
* Fire purifies all that is not of Christ.
* Fire takes away all the impurities that prevent His nature from being revealed in us.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may be proved genuine and may RESULT in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7).
Are you a salty Christian? If not, pray a prayer that the immature are unwilling to pray. PRAY that God makes you a salty Christian. It will result in praise and glory at the throne of God. End Oz

“Everyone will be salted with fire.” Mark 9:49
The Lord was precise.  He said “everyone.” The Lord was particular “salted by fire.” We all have a choice to make DAILY. Are we going to be on fire and ablaze with what we do for Him?  Or, will we simply settle for being burnt out?
The world is looking for authentic people they can taste.    Let’s show our friends, family, and colleagues what living is all about. Living starts with dying. Surrending everything to the Lord is the foundation for good seasoning.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. 14 YOU ARE the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to ALL in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
AMEN
