HARVEST THIS!!

SANDY RHEMA 3/25/06 HARVEST THIS!!

HILARIOUS CONFIRMATION: Without realizing what this rhema was about, I titled it "Harvest This." My habit is to take quick notes during the day, some by computer and some by voice recorder. Then when I have time, I type them into a format, and then at the end of the month, I harvest that month's rhema and get it on line. I use the word “harvest” to describe getting all the seed into the barn. So I titled this “Harvest This” as a note to remind me to get it onto the forum, because I had left it unattended.

I am laughing because now that I read it, the message is about the Lord harvesting soul giants, weeds and tares in our lives! We have a STRONG tendency to leave the tough stuff to deal with unattended and ignored, until God says it is time to pull out the sickle and deal with our soul giants.

HEARD: Hold the door open for her. I will help you through this transition. Bridge. Coming through to the other side. I am helping you see things.

I'm angry with you. Nothing could be further than the truth! This is condemnation, pure and simple. I am in need of you.

Did you do what I told you? Sickle. Separated. Turned on the juice. I am a mess. It just seems like it. You are really quite stable. I have a hold of you.

PIX: I saw that I was inserting an e-mail address.

HEARD: Shulamite.

Song 1:5-6 NLT

"I am dark and beautiful, O women of Jerusalem, tanned as the dark tents of Kedar. Yes, even as the tents of Solomon! "Don't look down on me, you fair city girls, just because my complexion is so dark. The sun has burned my skin. My brothers were angry with me and sent me out to tend the vineyards in the hot sun. Now see what it has done to me!

WORD TO PONDER: HARVESTING YOUR SOUL GIANTS NO CONDEMNATION 3/25/06

Beloved, I AM NOT angry with you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes I know it hurts to have the blade cut down the soul giants in your life. It hurts to separate the good things in your heart, from the weeds. It hurts to let go of what is not healthy, edifying and fruitful. Yield it up, dear one. When you feel the pressure mount and see the tare bearing fruit, yield it up so that it does not go to seed. We will harvest the tares and weeds and separate them from you forever.

I understand when you see these things manifest, that you feel blackened and dirty like the Shulamite who lost her ivory skin from harvesting the fields under the blazing sun. I understand your shame and that you feel unstable and a mess. Please, always remember that you belong to Me and I love you dearly. I have a strong hold on you and you are more than stable in My loving care. I know you better than you know yourself and have loved you and watched over you while these same seeds have been dormant, then became active and began growing inside of you. I have so much mercy and forgiveness for you. I want all things in your life to bear My image. Precious one, I point no condemnation towards you at all.

When you offer the tares up to Me to be separated from your soul, be encouraged that what you overcome will not be passed on to your children. And you will have ended a cycle of generational issues that have been passed down through the blood lines. Rejoice when the sickle comes, because it means VICTORIOUS OVERCOMING. Be blessed with no condemnation! Rejoice with heaven as you offer these up into the light.

Song 1:5-6 NLT

OTHER WORDS TO PONDERS ABOUT HARVESTING THE TARES

IT IS NOT TIME TO STUFF 6/23/04

It is time for surgery of your soul and to remove the mountains in your life. This is a time when the tares of your soul are coming to fruition. As you try to stuff them, they are becoming openly manifest and this is causing you instability. It is not time to stuff your emotions, but to recognize their sources and yield them to Me.

Don't stuff it, deal with it, and cry out to Me to release you from these things which you have watered your whole life. Resist the impulse to hide and place additional shame between us. Much of what you are facing right now is the exposure of soul giants. They are bad seeds that your parents and grandparents planted and nurtured. Take responsibility for your part, repent, and call out to Me and I will send My angels to perform delicate surgery to gather the tares in your life and take them away forever.

Matt 13:30 NKJV

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."

THE SOMERSAULT 8/28/03

You have had a sudden assault upon your faith during this hot and dry season of your labors. It came from an unexpected and trusted source and tossed you off your feet.

My dear one, hold on, hold on to Me. I AM harvesting the wheat and tares in your personal life. Do not let go of the planting I have planted so deeply within your life! Return to your roots and hang on. Yes, I use these times to pull out the weeds that have grown up in your life. Yes, it disturbs your soil and stability as these things fall. But the enemy intends to take advantage of this and entangle you so that you are tossed away with the weeds. Return to your good soil, precious one. Return.

Instead of running from your fall of faith, just roll over with the punches. Consider it a somersault upon your summer assault. Your rolling over is the willingness of your heart and faith to serve Me regardless of what is going on. As you roll over and yield everything to My will, even when it hurts, this is your willing sacrifice to Me. I will turn you over in one sweep as you roll over and spring to your feet once again.

“I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. "When the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry entered His ears.” (2 Samuel 22:4-7 NKJV)

IN AND THROUGH THE FIRE 12/29/03

Even when Daniel's friends were in the fiery furnace, I did not forsake them. I was so close that not even the smell of smoke tainted their clothing. When the fire purifies the silver, the Goldsmith never leaves the process. He sits before the fire keeping careful watch until He sees His reflection in the shining pool of precious metal. When it is heated to the exact temperature, His reflection shines and then He draws it out.

The firing of precious metal is a process of separation. The dross separates and comes to the surface, and that which remains is pure and precious. This is the hour of the great harvest, when wheat and tares are separated, good is separated from evil, precious metal from dross … all are separated for My glory.

When you see the dross ooze out of the pores of your heart, do not run away from Me! When you witness the weeds in your soul coming into fruition, cry out to Me for harvest. I will send My angels to pluck out by the roots and separate that which does not belong to Me. Forever it will be uprooted to never torment you again!

You are the harvest of many generations of seeds. All that you suffer is coming to fruition from much more than your own life. So, dear ones, fulfill your intercessory roles and cry out to your Master Goldsmith, your Father Husbandman and allow Me to separate the pure from the impure and bring My glorious reflection into all that you are. This is not a work of your flesh, but it is only through your yielding and relying upon Me that this glory can come to pass in your life. You think that you have failed Me, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is in this very hour as you cry out to Me - in your deepest weakness and inability - that I shine the most in your life.

Mal 3:2-3 NKJV

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.
