Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 (NKJV)
It is generally known that a skill, talent, ability and gift that is not exercised, practiced and perfected will soon become rusty and mediocre. The same goes with our faith. How do we perfect our faith, how do we exercise our faith, do we exercise it only in good, peaceful, plentiful and tranquility times? Our best is not brought forth in just the good times.
“For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.”
Mark 9:49-50 (NKJV)
The salt in us and our treasures are exposed when we are seasoned with fire, then will our testimony be seasoned, sure and sharable. Then our testimony can be a healing balm, comforting, touching and lifting up of the body of Christ. When your fire season arrives, do not despise, but work through your faith exercise diligently and patiently. At the end you will be better, more seasoned and be a blessing to the world and the body of Christ.

All to God
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:7-11 (NKJV)
The time for serious focus and vigil is now for all members of the body of Christ to be about our individual and collective calling rather than the chasing of shadows, the treasures of the world, fame and religiousity. The tasks at hand, the work of sowing, the rigors and joy of harvest for His Kingdom must be our sole goal and driving factors. To a puzzled and confused world, a calm and focused army (not a distracted one) will break down every wall and barrier to the reign of God's kingdom here on earth. We must not be aligned or manipulated by the noise of the gallery neither should we put our trust in anything else but on Him that has supplied us with abilities.
The light and salt of the world must influence the world and not the other way around and our abilities are to ultimately bring forth His glory through us and all our works. In all our all, All must be to God.
