Queens' Monthly Mentoring
Don't Lose Your Saltiness
Greetings!
This last month of the year , we will be looking at why operating like the world's system is not what citizens of God's Kingdom have been called to do. We have been called out to be salt and light to a dark and tasteless world.
Matthew 5:13 CEV
"You are the salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it make food salty? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on."
How do we expect to draw the world into God's Kingdom if we act just like the world?
Romans 8:19 CSB
"For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed."
The world is waiting on the sons of God to walk in their sonship and to manifest God's heavenly culture here on earth.
It is important to think and operate at a higher level than those in the world. We are to be led by the Holy Spirit and have our thinking transformed by the Word of God. We are not supposed to allow the world to lead us and to transform our thinking.
Romans 12:2 NLT
"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
1 Corinthians 2:15-16 CEV
"People who are guided by the Spirit can make all kinds of judgments, but they cannot be judged by others. The Scriptures ask, "Has anyone ever known the thoughts of the Lord or given him advice?" But we understand what Christ is thinking."
People in the world are questioning whether or not God is real because they do not see Him manifested in the lives of those who claim to know Him.
Mark 7:13 NKJV
"making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do."
The power of God should be manifested in our lives, not just talked about. People in the world have to see a distinct difference in your life or there is no need for them to examine their own lives.
1 Thessalonians 1:5 NIV
"because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake."
I want to encourage you to walk by faith and in the power of God.
Allow God to work through you boldly and without fear. Whenever fear is trying to overtake you, discern where that spirit is coming from and cast it down.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
"Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
Keep living the salt and light life. That may mean that at times you won't have a crowd of people around you, but don't compromise to please people. You be the manifestation that the world is searching for. You show them Jesus through your life!
