Dutch Sheets: Stop Cursing Your Cities! Feed the River with Kingdom Salt! (James 2:13)
Dutch speaks at the Break Dividing Walls Conference, sponsored by the 13 Colony Council, held at the Citadel, in Charleston, SC, on August 10, 2022. Quotes: So what the Lord began to speak to me. He said, "I want you to tell my people to stop cursing their cities, and begin pouring salt, feeding the river with who they are, speak blessing and healing, and transformation over cities that you even think are cursed! You think that God could never do anything in that place. He's going to come to some of these places and He's going to pour the salt in and heal the water and break the curse!”

The dream says, "You and a couple other fellows we were gathered in one place to hold a meeting. Before the meeting started, they told me, "it was time to feed the river." It's time to feed the river. I'd never heard that phrase before. I really didn't understand it. It wasn't get in the river. It wasn't drink from the river. It wasn't cross the river. It wasn't swim in the river. It was "feed the river."
They brought me some buckets. I'm never told what was in the bucket. They brought me buckets and I stepped into the river and began walking through the river, and every once in a while, dropping a bucket. I did this until all the buckets were gone.
Along the walk, I passed areas where camps were set up and people were fishing. When I walked by them, they would shout, "Thank you! Thank you for feeding the river! Now, we're going to catch some big ones." I walked back to the other guys and they said, "Now, we could start the meeting."
So, I said, "Lord, what is this about?" Thie only thing I knew to do was to begin to search for places in scripture where someone threw something in the river. I looked up several places. The one that really grabbed me was in 2 Kings 3, where immediately after Elisha received the mantle of Elijah, just after he crossed the river and said, "Where is the Lord, God of Elijah?" Then, Jordan parted, he came to Jericho.
It's fascinating to me that the prophets, there were three places where they had schools of the prophets, and this was one of them. Why would you choose a place to raise up a school of the prophets that was under a curse of death? Because after Jericho was overthrown in the Book of Joshua, Joshua cursed it. He said, "Nobody's ever going to rebuild this place without death." That curse was working because when Elisha arrived there, they came to him and they said, "This place is beautiful, but there's death in the water and it causes bareness throughout this entire land."
Isn't that a fascinating word? If you study the word there, one definition the lexicon gave me was the word "abortion." They said, "This place is beautiful, but the water is so defiled." Well, it was cursed. And the curse said, "This curse will be forever." So Elisha, now, this is what I thought Elisha should do. He should have sat down these young prophets, and he should have said, "This is what you get for being so stupid is to build the school of the prophets here while this place's cursed, now, you need to move it, because it will always be cursed." But he didn't [say that].
He said, "Bring me a new jar and put salt in it." I can only assume because as I search the scriptures, you can find the salt covenant. You can find salt used at other times. But the most striking passage I could find that related to this was Jesus saying (Matthew 5:13), “We as His new vessels are the salt. You are the salt of the earth."
So Elisha pours it in. He fed the river with salt - picturing us - and the water was healed and never again caused miscarrying and bareness and death. I think what struck me as the most significant obviously, this is a picture of Jesus who can deliver us from the curse of death. But what struck me as so significant was that even though a man that God honored had said probably at the leading of Holy Spirit, "I'm going to curse this place and nobody's going to be able to get out from under that, it's going to be forever."
When God was given an opportunity to lift that curse and heal the land, "mercy triumphed over judgment." (James 2:13) Because He always gave, He made it very clear in scripture, "When I pronounce a judgment, I'm always claiming the right and if they repent, if they turn from their sin, I will relent, because my heart is not to judge and destroy, my heart is always to redeem. I take great pleasure in mercy, not judgment."
