Salted with Fire

“For EVERY ONE SHALL BE SALTED WITH FIRE, AND EVERY SACRIFICE SHALL BE SALTED WITH SALT. 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” Mark 9:49-50.

What is the FIRE THAT  WE ALL will be salted with?

“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29.

“For THE WORD OF GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and INTENTS OF THE HEART” Hebrews 4:12.

“YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH: but IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR, WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED? it is thenceforth GOOD FOR NOTHING, BUT TO BE CAST OUT, and to be trodden under foot of men” Matt 5:13.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS, AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven” Matt 5:16-20.

Your GOOD WORKS are your SACRIFICES OF SERVICE.

“And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and SERVANT OF ALL” Mark 9:35.

“And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, SHALL BE SERVANT OF ALL” Mark 10:44.

“For THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY. And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore IT IS LAWFUL TO DO WELL ON THE SABBATH DAYS. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him” Matt 12:8-14.

The religious leaders (Scribes and Pharisees) said Christ broke THEIR LAW (the Sabbath) by healing on the Sabbath day.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father” John 14:12.

Therefore, to be a believer on Christ IT IS LAWFUL FOR YOU TO DO GOOD WORKS ON THE SABBATH.

For example: You are a nurse and in the winter months (in some places on this earth) the sunsets at 3:47 pm on a Friday, can you finish your shift and still be keeping the 4th commandment holy?     

The people you are providing a service for cannot properly function without you finishing your shift. You are serving the people equal to a priest serving the people on the Sabbath.

“Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Matt 12:5.

“Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; And whatsoever ye do, DO IT HEARTILY, AS TO THE LORD, AND NOT UNTO MEN; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ” Col 3:22-24.

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” Matt 25:40.

DO NOT do any work on the Sabbath for your own pleasure. The Sabbath is from Sundown on Friday to Sundown on Saturday. Saturday night after sundown you can then do your own pleasure.

“If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words” Isaiah 58:13.

The Scribes and Pharisees were self-righteous hypocrites Luke 13:14-15. They wanted to be worshipped and obeyed through commanding the keeping of the law their way! Beware of the doctrine of these kind of religious leaders Matt 16:6-12.

“The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed” John 5:10.

“HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; for GOD IS LOVE” 1 John 4:8.

Man must live by every word of LOVE 2 Tim 2:15, Matt 4:4.

“Who also hath made us able MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; NOT OF THE LETTER, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Cor 3:6.

If you live by the LETTER OF THE LAW, you have lost your savour (saltiness). You have quenched the spirit 1 Thes 5:19.

“LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW” Romans 13:10.

“And ABOVE ALL THINGS have fervent charity among yourselves: for CHARITY SHALL COVER THE MULTITUDE OF SINS” 1 Peter 4:8.

“And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I AM NOTHING. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing” 1 Corinthians 13:2-3.

“If a man say, I love God, and HATETH HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” 1 John 4:20.

“But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, LONGSUFFERING, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Gal 5:22-25.

“But IF ANY PROVIDE NOT FOR HIS OWN, AND specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel”. 1 Tim 5:8.

IF ANY PROVIDE NOT FOR HIS OWN!

Who are HIS OWN that are not in his own house?

YOUR NEIGHBOR!

“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour AS THYSELF” Matthew 22:39.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9.

God knows the hearts! He will repay Romans 12:19.

“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? Luke 12:49.

“SUPPOSE YE THAT I AM COME TO GIVE PEACE ON EARTH? I TELL YOU, NAY; BUT RATHER DIVISION: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” Luke 12:51-53.

“And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward” Matt 10:36-42.

“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death” Matt 10:21.

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” Mark 8:34.

“As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter” Romans 8: 36.

EVERY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST: FOR THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT, BECAUSE IT SHALL BE REVEALED BY FIRE; and THE FIRE shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain” 1 Cor 3:13-20.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake” Matt 24:9.

“Remember the word that I said unto you, THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN HIS LORD. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also” John 15:20.

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME” Rev 12:10-12.

“…Is thine eye evil, because I am good?  SO THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST, AND THE FIRST LAST: FOR MANY BE CALLED, BUT FEW CHOSEN” Matt 20:15-16.

God commanded his true Gospel to be published on a blog where THE FIRST IS THE LAST.

To hear all things Acts 3:22-23 you must read the first blog post that was posted in 2009, then in 2010 came the second, third etc. etc. and so on and so forth up to the present time.

 “And the gospel must first be published among all nations” Mark 13:10.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matt 24:14.

His true Gospel is freely given. There are no ads. There is no book that can be purchased. I receive no money 1 Tim 6:10.             

God tests us ALL, I am the gold tried in the fire, buy of me – it’s free Rev 3:18.

Be a workman 2 Tim 2:15, prove ALL things 1 Thes 5:21 believe in the power of God Almighty, now restored.

God chooses workers that seek and obey HIS WORD Matt 4:4 of love 1 John 4:8 that is now rightly divided HIS WAY Isa 28:9-10 diligently with ALL their heart, soul, mind, and strength Mark 12:30.

“In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.  And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.  Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth” Micah 4:6-13.

I have LABOURED AND DELIVERED Rev 12:5-6, to God be the glory GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE!
