SALT US WITH FIRE

God gave me an amazing text for the National Day of Prayer gathering at New Life. In Mark 9, Jesus is talking to the Twelve about sin. In that conversation, he warns them about being salt and losing their saltiness. Look at this incredible little verse.

Mark 9:49 NIV - "49 Everyone will be salted with fire."

FIRE is a huge subject in the Bible. Sacrifices are burned with fire. Prayer rises from the fire on the alter of God like the fragrance of incense rises with the smoke. One day fire will burn all evil. Even tongues of fire were present at Pentecost. Take a look at the 500 or more texts on fire. But this one is really amazing.
"Everyone will be salted with fire." What does not God need to burn off of us so that we are salty for Him? Lord, send your fire and purify me today.
