Scripture reference - Acts 16:16-20; Acts 28:1-6; Matt 5:13; II Kings 2:19-22 --------- Paul could not escape what God anointed him to do. People stood by & watched for him to fall. They finally had to recognized when no harm came to him he was in God's Favor. When Paul put wood on the fire & was bitten by a serpent, he was only doing what was expected of him. When the viper bit him, it would seem that maybe he shouldn't have fed the fire. The viper came for one purpose -- to destroy what God had wrought. Paul shook of the viper (both naturally & spiritually). All the tribulation caused in the end was the the furtherance of the gospel. He had to go thru trouble first before God's will could be accomplished. The power was not in the salt cast in the waters but in the obedience unto God. God will have a tried & proven people. The remnant will be tried & have knowledge to know what God want & the boldness to do it. Let every man take heed how he builds on the foundation. God wants us loose from all things we are entangled with to build on a firm foundation. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. We sometimes say we might as well give up. This is the enemy working on us to shake us away from God's promise. We allow cares of this life to buffet us & we grow cold & can not recognize & fight the enemy. DO NOT COMPROMISE, we must give wholly unto God. We are sometimes shipwrecked, but it's all for a purpose. We have come to this place for a time, it's not over until it's over. God is speaking to the called saying fill your cruse with salt & go the the springs (source) & be thou healed. On judgement day it's just you & God, no excuses. We must do what God tells us no matter the consequence. God will have his way with you or without you. Everyone will be bit by the serpent. Shake him off & be not harmed. Stand firm, be not shaken. Take your place in God!!!! Don't back up, Get perfect love in your heart so you will be able to forgive all things. We have to allow this to come forth.
