Meditate.
The time of the harvest is coming.
Jesus spoke to His disciples about the harvest.
Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from
doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. You know the
saying, 'Four months between planting and harvest.' But I say, wake up and look
around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. The harvesters are paid good
wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy
awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! You know the saying, 'One
plants and another harvests.' And it's true. I sent you to harvest where you
didn't plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather
the harvest." John 4:34-38
Wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. We don’t have wait…as Jesus said, it is time to harvest. Rescue those who have produced fruit.
The good seeds have developed into
a good crop—and where there are weeds, those will be pulled up first, so that
the harvest is not tainted, spoiled with the weed seeds. Grain harvest here in
the Northwestern part of the United States finished a couple of months ago and
now the harvest is bringing in apples and pears. Those are important crops. We
just got a box of honey crisp apples from apple sales at my great nephews’
school. It’s a good money-making project for the school and we so enjoy the
apples! Fresh apples are good and crisp. That is the kind of fruit God wants us
to produce as evidenced by our lives filled with the spirit.
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our
lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians
5:22-23
The field—the world—is ready for the harvest. Are you part of the harvest…or a weed that will be pulled up before the harvest begins?
Prayer ~ Lord God, the harvest is ripe. May You see the fruits of Your Spirit in my life…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I pray that no weeds will come into my life.
Verse of Salvation ~ May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation--the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Philippians 1:11
Bible Trivia
Answer to the Question: Who is the harlot or prostitute in Revelation?
Then one of the seven angels who had
the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show
you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, "with whom
the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth
were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." So he carried me away
in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast
[which was] full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The
woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the
filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name [was] written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF
THE EARTH. I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great
amazement. Revelation 17:1-6 NKJV
The Harlot is the New World Order—that has been around since the time of the Tower of Babel. Note that she does not like Christians and is responsible for destroying two-thirds of the people on the earth. Read and study Revelation for yourself.
