Covenant of Salt?

September 27, 2026 – 3:02 am
Is salt from the ocean a missing ingredient from our diets? Does the Covenant of Salt point to an obscure solution to many health issues today? Leviticus 2:13 commands Israel to season every grain offering with salt and never leave out “the salt of the covenant of your God.” It ends by saying that salt was to accompany all their offerings. Salt preserves food and adds flavor. In this verse, it serves as a reminder that Israel’s worship was bound to God’s enduring covenant. The offering was more than a gift placed on the altar; it was given within a continuing relationship with Him. The phrase “salt of the covenant” points especially to faithfulness and permanence. Numbers 18:19 also uses “covenant of salt” when describing an enduring provision from God. The verse does not say that salt itself made an offering acceptable. Israel was to bring its offerings as God instructed, with ...

Our Covenant Instructions

September 26, 2026 – 3:33 am
Jesus gave us Covenant instructions! You and I are Heaven’s authorized representatives and have been given Heavenly authority and power of attorney.  Jesus goes into this transfer of authority specifically in John chapters 13 through 17. John 13–17 records Jesus’ final teaching and prayer with His disciples before His arrest. Knowing the cross was near, He showed them how to Love, how to remain faithful after His departure, and how the Holy Spirit would help them. The passage ends with Jesus praying for them—and for those who would later believe through their message. John 13 — Love expressed through service Jesus washes the disciples’ feet, taking the place of a servant. He tells them to follow His example: those who belong to Him should humbly serve one another (13:1–17). During the meal, Jesus identifies Judas as the one who will betray Him. After Judas leaves, Jesus gives the disciples a new commandment: Love one another ...

The Generous Giver

September 25, 2026 – 3:15 am
FATHER loves a generous giver! Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4: 12 I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. 14 You’ve so graciously provided for my essential needs during this season of difficulty. 15 For I want you to know that the Philippian church was the only church that supported me in the beginning as I went out to preach the Gospel. You were the only church that sowed into me financially, 16 and when I was in Thessalonica, you supported me for well over a year. 17 I mention this not because I’m requesting a gift, but so that the fruit of your generosity may bring you an abundant ...

Pressing Forward

September 24, 2026 – 3:38 am
It is vital that we let go of the past in order to fully mature in THE SPIRIT! There is an old saying, “We judge ourselves by our intent and everyone else by their actions.” It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12: 1 As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. 2 We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus Who birthed faith within us and Who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because His Heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be ...

Overcoming Adversity

September 23, 2026 – 3:45 am
If I don’t fully trust FATHER in disappointment, HE cannot trust me in fulfilled dreams! We all suffer disappointment, loss, criticism, and betrayal at some point in our lives.  If we don’t trust in the negative, then we won’t be trustworthy in the positive. FATHER is testing us to see what weight of Glory can we live under without it crushing us.  A Loving FATHER does not what to see HIS children crushed! HIS desire is to fill the earth with HIS Glory and it is meant to be done through us. Genesis 1:28 says: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion…” This is God’s first recorded blessing and commission to humanity. It explains humanity’s relationship to family, creation, work and authority. “God blessed them” means the command begins with God’s favor and empowerment. Adam and Eve were not expected to ...

Another Kids In Need Update

September 22, 2026 – 3:47 am
Your offerings allow us to minister to the poor. FATHER is well aware of all you do to support those in need! Through the school, we provide gift cards and beef products to be distributed to those in need. After all, the teachers and counselors know which kids are in need of assistance! I wanted to share a couple of stories that I have gotten over the last week. Yesterday, I spoke with our elementary counselor about a family with 3 students in the elementary school. Mrs. Holcomb's brother-in-law coaches one of our school's youth football teams. This coach is a son of Officer Holcomb, and is also a police officer.  He noticed that one particular student was always coming hungry to games and practices, and when he talked to the kid about it, he found out that they had not been able to purchase groceries. When he told Mrs. ...

Another Kids In Need Update

September 20, 2026 – 3:40 am
From the High School Principal: When people hear about the Village Program, they often assume it is simply a mentoring initiative. While strong relationships are at the heart of the program, its purpose reaches much further. The Village exists to identify barriers that keep students from succeeding and to ensure those barriers do not define a student's future. Every day, our Village teachers invest in students by listening, encouraging, and building trust. Because they know their students well, they are often the first to recognize when a family is struggling financially, when a student is carrying adult responsibilities at home, or when basic necessities are standing in the way of learning. Those relationships allow us to respond before small challenges become overwhelming obstacles. For some students, the greatest challenge is financial. The Village Program has quietly stepped in to help students participate in school activities they otherwise could not afford. Whether assisting with fees, ...

FATHER’S Character Expressed

September 18, 2026 – 3:35 am
Each of us should be aligning ourselves with FATHER’S Character! We are to represent HIS Character and Image in our walk just as Jesus did in His earthly ministry. Jesus spoke in John chapter 14: 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father Who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Jesus precisely represents the FATHER’S Character! Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 10: 17 For the LORD ...
