Salt

SALT

9/4/11

I kept hearing all  night the following words.

HEARD: Salt. Revelation.

SAW: Salt being poured from one jar to another.

         As I lay awake in bed this morning pondering this.


HEARD: Pour salt into it.  Spirit of Revelation.  Salt is for healing.

SAW: Benny Hinn

I have come to understand that when the Lord shows me a well known minister such as Benny Hinn the message He is trying to tell me concerns the minister's ministry.  Benny Hinn has a Healing Ministry.

2 Corinthians 4:6-8

New International Version (NIV)

^"6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
 ⁷ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ⁸ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;"

Isaiah 64:8
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Colossians 4:5-7

New International Version (NIV)

^"5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. ⁶ Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

Matthew 5:13

The Message (MSG)
" "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth..." 

John 7:38
"Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."

Healing of the Water

" ¹⁹ The people of the city said to Elisha, “Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.” ²⁰ “Bring me a new bowl,” he said, “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.

 ²¹ Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.’”

Ezekiel 47:7-9

King James Version (KJV)

 "⁷Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
 ⁸Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
 ⁹And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh."

Ezekiel 47:7-9

New International Version (NIV)

^"7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. ⁸ He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,^[a] where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. ⁹ Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live."

Revelation 22:1-6

 "¹ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³ No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. ⁴They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

⁶ The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”"

Fill Thy Cup:

As we come to the Lord, making a valuable salt covenant with him...He takes the cursed tainted water in our jars of clay and makes it new again... He then causes rivers of fresh living water to flow... As we spread the word of the gospel...spread the word of our Lord and Savor, He causes fresh living water to flow from our lives into the lives of others... We reach out and touch each others hearts not fully understanding the level to which we are healing when we speak with such grace.  For the waters that flow from the Father are healing waters.

I woke up this morning hearing " Santify your words" and then heard in my spirit this verse :

" Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up


 according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29
