Day 20 to 23 Unhappy: Nobody!

This month we're in the purpose of being unhappy (dissatisfied), where we've been working strongly in our spiritual life. The coming of Jesus is much sooner than what we imagine, and this purpose has been awaking us while there's still time left. People or disconnecting from the world and entering the ark, they're being prepared to meet the Lord Jesus... but once being saved, the natural desire to save comes, that's why we spoke about the salt of the earth so, lets continue, shall we? We spoke about being the salt of the earth... today we'll explore more about that.

Have you ate food without salt? Yeah, it's pretty bad!

Food without salt has no point! Salt makes all the difference... But, when you mix salt in the food, it disappears! No one can see the salt! No one ever compliments salt in the food... no one says "the salt was great!" on a dish. No one ever says, someones salt on a dish is better than anothers. Do you know why? Because it vanishes!

If someone goes against the current, they are also salt. They give flavor but disappear, and the One who appears is God in it. There's a lot of people wanting to be seen but not letting God be seen. They want to be known, labeled as "spiritual" and that's the result of their life with God, their will has prevailed and when they speak about Jesus it sounds automatic, the say and do exactly what other people of God do, God has no more room to speak to them.

God is seeking those who want to be salt of the earth! Those who want to be a nobody! He seeks people that want to disappear, so that He can appear!

From today until the 27th you will save, you will learn to be the salt of the earth, are you ready?

You will serve Him in secret... How? You'll evangelize, speak about salvation, pray for others, you will be attentive during the day to see how you can help someone even if its something simple. You'll do more but won't let the whole world know what you did, it'll be just between you and God.

You will also search about all the signs of the end of times, mainly in the UCKG blogs and you'll post it in your social networks, alerting others about the return of Jesus, many good things will  happen with you and you will see the difference the more you do for God than what you do for man.

Day 14 to 19 Unhappy: Salt of the earth

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." (Matthew 5:13)

Have you ever stopped to think why we're compared to the salt of the earth?

Salt is fundamental for existence: it's used as a preservative, it conserves food and gives it flavor, isn't that true? Salt contains several special qualities and, I'd like to focus on two: firstly, the capability to make the difference and influence other elements, altering its flavor (identity, spiritually speaking) and secondly, the capability to not become contaminated and at the same time stopping other elements from contaminating with the corruption (sin) of this world, making their current states preserved and free from contamination. 

But there's one thing, salt can only fulfill with its full potential if it's diffused and physically mixed with other elements. If salt is purely alone it cannot execute its power and importance!

Being the "salt of the earth" means being discreet and at the same time essential. As a seasoning, salt is indispensable in the preparation of numerous dishes. On one side, without it, food becomes bland and loses flavor. On the other hand, an excess amount of salt can spoil the whole dish, making it inedible. Salt has to be used in a reasonable amount. Alone, it really makes no difference but it's an ingredient that can by no means be substituted. 

What does this have to do with us? A lot!

Being the salt of the earth is being a true Christian, someone who gives flavor, an atmosphere with the presence of a true Christian has to be good, amazing, and as tasteful as possible. When we understand this, we learn to not be shy to show our Jesus to others, we don't 'go with the flow' of this earth... we're simply different!

From today until Wednesday, you will observe your attitudes in front of people around you and will detect attitudes that have been to much, attitudes that have caused a bad testimony and you will eliminate them... you want to be the salt of the earth? You want to save souls? So start by looking inside yourself, working on your bad habits and attitudes and you'll automatically be save souls without being forceful, and the Holy Spirit will work in you and in the ones observing you. 

Day 11, 12 & 13 Unhappy: Love Him irresistibly

"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:12-13) 

You can see that the apostle Paul confirms that salvation comes by faith, "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling..." this expresses an aspect of faith, denial, investment and sacrifice (hard work).

Faith is not quick confidence, it's a permanent confidence: lively confidence, wonderful, vigilant. Our salvation is a miracle that God 'works in us' and, that's why it asks for all our attention. Working with 'fear and trembling' is to be conscious that every moment we need to be investing in our encounter with God (like a marriage), at every moment, God is working in us.

Fearing God is, in this way, is loving Him irresistibly!

Denying certain things indicates where our real intention lies, perhaps you can tell me that you've denied several things, but can it be that it was a true surrender? What I mean to say is, was the denial accompanied by fear and trembling? 

We have many Christians that have denied their will in front of men and showed that their pleasure was serving our Lord Jesus in front of them, but deep down inside, they hide their true desires and fleshly wills. The devil throws thoughts and each one is kept and fed, they are "supposed" servants, but alone they satisfy those things which they don't do in front of people, they do this inside their four walls, without fear and trembling.

How much do you love God? You want to know? Analyze yourself and see when you're alone, when you're in front of the computer, on your cell phone, inside of your room, in your restroom, with your boyfriend or an unconverted person... your attitude in these positions reveal how much you love the Lord Jesus, and if you've truly been working with fear and trembling. 

If you conclude that you love irresistibly, congratulations, you're on the right path towards salvation... now, if you saw that your love for God is not genuine, well, it's time to restore it. 

During the next 3 days you will wake up at 3am or 6am to seek the Holy Spirit, you will pour out your soul to Jesus, you'll start working with fear and trembling in your life with God, be in spirit throughout the day, renounce what is hidden or that you still need to surrender, if its necessary confess it to your pastor but don't have that inside you anymore. 

Prove to God how much you love Him, renouncing the world, sacrificing your will and seeking Him with intensity. Start first by investing in your interior, that's where the truth about yourself lies... what you are inside reflects in your outward actions.
