Faith Heal the Source

UV 1034/10,000 " And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, " Thus sanity The Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land" 2kings 2 v 21 When people of the city of Jericho came to Elisha and complained that the water there was bad and made them sick and the land unproductive, Elisha asked them to bring him a bowl and then he put some salt in it. He went to the source of the water and put the salt in it and declared the Word if God over it, pronouncing it healed Faith in the Word is the salt of life. Salt has taste enhancing qualities. Faith in Jesus makes our otherwise bitter or tasteless lives tasty and enjoyable. Salt has preservative qualities - faith in the Protective promises of God will preserve our lives from spiritual as well as physical threats, dangers and risks. Salt has curative properties- the health -related and healing promises in the Word assure us of good health and healing. Salt is crystalline in form and structure and it does not get mixed with sand particles. Similarly, we ought not to get mixed up with the ways of the world. Salt is chemically a combination of two poisonous substances that neutralise each other and make the end product harmless, edible and useful. Similarly, the Spirit of God will lay the Word in our hearts and minds such that the internal poisons that can harm us and others are neutralised and made useful. This Uni-verse teaches us that healing is needed and possible not just for our bodies and its organs but the entire gamut of our lives. When people come to us with a problem, we can surely find a solution by faith in the Word and by application of the Word. We are only as salty as long and as much as the Word is in us. Faith in the Word makes us problem solvers in this world. Like Elisha we must go to the very source of the problem, throw the Word in and declare it solved, healed, cured and blessed. If we find a problem in our relationships, our workplaces, our homes, our communities, our nations and the world, we need to go to the source and apply, pray and declare the Word if healing. Faith in the Word supplies the answers to questions and problems that reason, knowledge and education teaches us to ask but cannot answer or solve. This is the reason why education by itself cannot solve the world's problems or answer all the questions. It is only faith and faith in the Word -based education that is not barren but produces health, healing, hope, wisdom and life. Elisha did not throw a ton of salt in but only a small bowl of it. Similarly, we need not have an overdose of faith but just enough to spark the change from barrenness and death to usefulness and life. Once Elisha declared the Word of healing the water of Jericho remained healed to this very day. Hence whatever we apply the salt of faith in the Word will be healed and remain so forever.
