You are the Salt of the Earth
" The Salt of the Earth. "
You are the salt of the earth when you pray.
Salinity (saltiness) is a physical characteristic that impacts where marine organisms live and thrive. Salinity is determined by the amount of salt that is dissolved in ocean water. The salinity of the oceans varies based on rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation. When salinity lowers or increases it affects marine life. Most marine creatures keep the salinity inside their bodies equal to the salinity of the water surrounding them.
This is how prayer works. One person who carries the heart of God for souls, for intercession, and for the increase of Jesus Christ in their community is impacting the spiritual “marine life” of their church. Prayer produces spiritual salt and transforms the environment.. We are the salt of the earth. If we lose our savor we are good for nothing. Salt is a preservative for kingdom values and kingdom purpose.
Ask God to increase His power in you, through prayer, and He will impact the spiritual salinity in others around you by the spirit of prayer.
Pray:
God enlarge my heart by Your grace, through prayer, to manifest Your passion for people. Help me decrease so You may increase and so I can influence others relationally with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Increase the fire of Your Word through me to influence and impact the destinies of the people I serve and come in contact with.
Increase Your transforming love in me to break generational patterns in family church relationships and a lost and dying world.
Increase my capacity to carry Calvary’s love to the hurting and the wounded so I won’t be offended with the cross you called me to bear for others.
Indeed, you are the salt of the earth through prayer!
