I have never known my dad or our granpa to ever plant any seed and not expect a harvest. Expecting a harvest is natural to the sowing and reaping mind. When they were with us they spent a lot of time preparing the fields for the sowing of their seeds and when they sowed them, they did so skillfully. Then they would til the fields while they-being filled with the joy of the assurance of their hearts expectancy- they would wait excitedly for the first visible signs of their hope manifested. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn of the ear THE HARVEST SURELY CAME. Year after year, season after season it worked. Gods sowing and reaping promises are just as sure, even more sure, than all farmers sure expectancy in the seeds they have sown. God cannot lie. His words can never fail when believed. Believe and you will see the glory of God in sowing and reaping. Do not limit your thinking to me're money. Goodness reaps goodness. Kindness leads to kindness. Visiting the sick leads to your own blessed visitations. Blessing others grows blessings to come to you. Forgive and you shall reap forgiveness. Do not sow forgiveness and you shall reap no forgiveness from God. God is our harvest guaranteer so do not quench His Spirit with your unkindness and your unforgiveness. Love reaps love. Mercy reaps mercy. Being friendly leads to friendliness. Bearing others burdens is a seed you sow, a harvest is attached to that seed sown. Cloth others and you shall be clothed. Feed others and you shall be fed. Give just a cup of cold water to a child of God and Jesus said you shall by no means lose your reward. In this life and in the life to come the harvest surely comes if we attend to the field of the seed we have planted in. No wise farmer plants and walks off. He guards his field from weeds and from the birds of the air and from the beast of the field. He guards his heart with all diligence and he WATCHES HIS TONGUE to not uproot what he has planted. An unwise, unskillful sower scatters seed all over the place. He cannot really tell good soil from bad ground. But the skillful experienced farmer plants with wisdom, til's with understanding, waits with excitement, and reaps with Joy. He is filled from the sowing to the reaping with a heart of Blessed Assurance. Blessed Assurance itself is true spiritual patience. It is BEING SURE at all times, in all trials, in all testings it remains the same. Yes Blessed Assurance is the farmers patience with joy with sure expectation that he is going to reap a good harvest.....Jesus & deno....share freely.
Hebrews 6:11-15...New King James Version (NKJV) 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence being filled with the full assurance of our hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you.”[a] 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ......Some promises we must exercise patience to obtain them like our mansion in heaven that Jesus went and is preparing for us and like the 2nd coming of the Lord to take us home and like the casting forth of our bread upon the water. .....Some promises are for the immediate right now such as forgiveness and being born again and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. .....Some of the things we pray for must be mixed with patience. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn of the ear which is the prayers harvest time.. ......Things/material things we must believe we receive when we pray and thank God daily that they are ours and shall come to pass. .......The patience of sure faith is joy and certainty mixed with praise and thanksgiving to God knowing we have what we have said and prayed (Mark 11:23-24). It shall come to pass. The desire by faith in prayer has been planted into the ground of my life. It is taking root. It will grow up and produce the fruit of my hearts desire as Jesus said......deno.

The words of God that your heart really believes are the cups of faith that God fills with His presence realities and manifestations. Christ dwells in the cups of our hearts faith. The bible clearly teaches us that without faith God gets no pleasure from us (Hebrews 3:12-19). He even had Paul write in Romans 14:23 that whatsoever is not of faith or from faith is sin. What we believe the Lord is able to walk in and fill. But the spiritual sin of Unbelief gives His Spirit no place to dwell nor walk in, nor to be Poured into. I will POUR OUT of My Spirit in the last days the Lord said. Cups of faith can only partake of and receive of His Spirits outpourings. As it is written in the book of Galations 3:1-6) He that gives you His Spirit, His spiritual things and works healings and miracles in your midst and in your life, He does this by what you believe and not by the works of the law. And king David said, The Lord anoints my head with oil (His Spirit & Grace), my CUP runneth over he said (with His Presence/Goodness). Scroll Down.
And in Ephesians 3:16-21) Paul prayed.... so that you would be FILLED (Your cups of faith) with ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. Can you imagine that? Can you see yourself and your life being filled with ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD? Ones faith cups have to be overflowing with God for that to happen. You and I being filled with all the fulness of God is Gods Spirit, Presence, Leading, Grace, Goodness realities and manifestations everyday in abundance to the overflowing measure in our cups, in our faith cups. It is you and me experiencing God being God to us and being our loving Father in our lives ON EARTH thru faith in Jesus Christ the Word of God......deno.....share freely.
.....And Jesus said to Paul, (Expounded).....I've called you to be filled with my Spirit and to have visitations from Me. I've called you to open your eyes so that you can open other peoples eyes. I've called you to reveal my redemption wisdom to you. To show you things to come. To unveil the power of the Cross to you, its power, its blessings, its benefits to all those that believe. I've called you to life and life more abundantly in fellowship with Me. I've called you to the fellowship of My Sufferings. I've called you to glory in nothing but in My Cross and to preach peace thru the blood of My Cross. I have called you, to learn those things for yourself and then to teach others the good things My Blood Speaks....And Paul My Joy shall be your strength, but also Paul note this.I love you to also tell you all the truth....I have called you to be hated by all nations for My Names Sake. I have called you to suffer many things for believing and for belonging to me.....And Paul later wrote, And because of all that Jesus revealed and taught me, there was given unto be a thorn in the flesh, an agitation of the enemy, a MESSENGER of Satan sent to buffet me. ...... Paul was opposed by the devil (2 Cor 12:7). His thorn in the flesh was self explained so that none would have to presume or speculate what his thorn in the flesh was. It was A MESSENGER. A messenger not from God but from the devil. That demonic spirit was sent to toy with and against the mind of Paul thru words against words and thought against thought wrestlings and buffetings. That demonic spirit also would go whisper things into other peoples minds to enrage them against Paul and they would physically persecute Paul. Jesus' words to Paul about suffering many things for His Name sake was coming to pass thru all that demonic opposition. That MESSENGER FROM SATAN was Pauls thorn in the flesh. America, church thru out the world, THAT SAME MESSENGER IS AT WORK AGAINST US ALL TODAY......share freely......deno.
.......The Vital Message the Lord Has Given....... .......The scriptures tell us of a loving father who had a son whom Satan had bound and had entered. Often times that demon would manifest itself in that young lad and cast him into fires trying to burn him to death, or he would run him into local waters to drown him. ......The father of that boy loved his son and daily he had to keep a watchful eye on his boy to try to save him from what that demon wanted to do to the young lad. Now what is about to be written is to be noted. .......That boys father loved his son. He loved him and felt bad for his son being in that terrible demonic condition. But friends his love for his son, nor him feeling bad for his son being in that condition did not keep his son automatically safe from the devils schemes, nor did his love and sad feelings for his son, those things BROUGHT NO DELIVERANCE. The will was there but how to perform was beyond him. .......We all need to grow up and know that just because God loves us passionately with the deepest of feelings does not automatically exclude us from attacks from the enemy or from trouble and trying situations.. And just because Jesus was Jesus, the Lord from heaven, such divinity did not keep Satan away from coming against Jesus. No he came straight up to Jesus and face to face said, If you be the Son of God do this, do that. ........That boys loving father loved his son. He probably prayed, pleaded and begged God daily to deliver his son. Lord carest thou not that my son is perishing? He probably tried all kinds of human local help on behalf of his son but was none bettered. We know he sought the church about it but the church boys failed him. HELLO. ........But then one day the Lord from heaven who had the anointing of the Spirit of God without measure came on the scene. Jesus was prayed up, fasted up and the power of the Lord was present to deliver. Jesus even started out his ministry with a 40 day prayer and fasting sacrifice. He waxed so strong in spirit from that, that the devil sent not the second demon in charge to Jesus but took Jesus on himself. Jesus resisted, Jesus put Satan behind him and the bible said from there Jesus went forth in the Power of Gods Spirit to the people healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with Jesus mightily. .........When Jesus came on that boys situation the scene was this. The church boys had called for a deliverance meeting. All twelve got together to let the devil know who was now in charge and the devils resisted them as they will always do. Over and over again they shouted to that demon, Come out, Come out, Come out in the name of Jesus. All there usurpings of authority that had been working for them in the past was not in this situation working. The Lords church looked weak and beggarly. They went from shouting boldly come out, come out in the name of Jesus to scratching their heads while the boys father went back to crying and crying, begging the demon to leave his son alone saying PLEASE. The atmosphere became overwhelmed with the things that accompany doubt and unbelief. The church was looking weak and bad while Satan and the demons were getting their way (Hello). ........But then Jesus comes on the scene. He rebukes his church boys for their unbelief. The boys father runs to Jesus begging him in tears to do something but those tears alone did not get Jesus to do the work. Jesus still said, You must believe. Folks that in itself preaches volumes. Tears, emotions, feelings of desperation does not get the job done. All that was definitely going on there in that scene and situation but nothing by those things moved God. Jesus still said, YOU MUST BELIEVE. Then the father cried, help thou my unbelief. That father of that boy had seen so much failure and disappointment concerning his sons situation that he was way more in unbelief than faith. He had become so effected by lack of spiritual victory that he had become a spiritual beggar, but begging and begging did not make anything better but worse. Even the church boys faith was powerless. The power house of God-the church-had a form of things but the power was lacking. .......Jesus though was always full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost. He set the boy free and taught the church that tears are noted but they BY THEMSELVES do not move God. Begging is noted, but that does not get the job done. Feelings of desperations God sees but for years those feelings of that father and that community for that boy did not save that son nor move Satan out. Jesus said, this kind only will come out but by prayer and fasting of Gods people. ........Folks, in the last days the world will be under the influence of demonic powers more than ever before. Satan will be shuffling things around for his evil smiling clever, scheming, lying, deceiving son to come on the worlds stage (AntiChrist). Imaging then how so important it is for us THE CHURCH to be in prayer and fastings often in these last days to back him off, to abolish his take overs, destroying his evil spirits works..... .........Griping, gossiping, complaining, feelings of desperation, negative conversations, tears nor begging will change anything concerning these spiritual matters that are effecting and going to effect our world and nation. Jesus said, This kind (the more powerful resisting demons) only will come out, only can be overcome, uprooted, cast out, and their works and schemes destroyed BUT BY PRAYER AND FASTING......He that has ears to hear, let him hear and so do in Jesus Name......Amen......Deno....America Founded By Believers For Believers.......share freely.
Jesus said in John 14:7) If you had known me, you should have known my Father also.....Hebrews 1:1-3) For I am the brightness of His glory and the Express image of His person. From the Throne of God and from the power of the Eternal Spirit of God therein rumbles loud thunders and from Him proceeds forth flashes of His Spirits internal lightnings. This is God. John saw the Father in His Power and Glory on the Great Throne of God. John said, And I saw the Throne and He that sat thereon, and I saw from Him proceeded lightnings and thunders and loud sounds of His Power.(Rev 4:5). God is loud and God is Almighty. He cannot help it. He Is The Lord, the Lord Almighty, mighty in Strength and glorious in power. Yet behind all His Eternal Spirits mighty thunders that are of the natural flow of His Spirits Power and behind all the lightnings that flash from His Energy glory, resides a heart of PERFECT LOVE. God is love John said. Let us thank God that behind all that power expressed in great and loud thunders and flashing lightnings is a heart of perfect peace, joy, and love that is Gods true eternal character. Jesus said, If you have seen me you have seen the Father. He was not saying you have seen His thunder and His lightnings that come from the Eternal Power of His Spirit as He is on the mighty Throne, but you have Seen and heard in me HIS HEART. None of us can never really know or really see a person until we know and see THEIR HEART. The outer or the external only gives us a small glimpse of that person, a wonderment as we wonder what they are REALLY LIKE. It makes us want to get to really KNOW THEM (See. 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 & Philippians 3:7-14) With our eyes we see the house only, but not the real inside person-the heart. Why at first glance when you see all that you see flowing from God in heaven as He sits upon the Throne, all that loud thunder and all those lightning flashings of His Eternal Spirits Power could fill you with great fear and tremendous fright. But when you with your heart really get to know Him and see GODS HEART, that perfect love that you see and come to know will cast out the fear. When Jesus became flesh, the heart of God was captured to the full and perfect expression to men and women (Hebrews 1:1-4). Behind all those thunders and lightnings of the Eternal Power of God is the heart of every thing we saw of the Father in Jesus. Jesus is the heart of the Almighty perfectly revealed. God in His heart is so loving, so wonderful, so beautiful, divine and delicious...Oh taste and See that the Lord is Love and that the Lord is so Good....deno.....share freely.
......And Jesus said to His opposers, You are in error because you do not understand the scriptures nor do you know THE POWER OF GOD. God is just to INCREDIBLE to be naturally measured or naturally understood and His Words have to be revealed. One has to have his or her eyes opened to see what the Spirit of God is saying in the scriptures. It is written, Then Jesus opened the disciples eyes so they could understand the scriptures. Even so there is the opening of ones ears to hear His Voice on a regular basis. But unless the vessel is a truly submitted vessel, it will be unhealthy for him/her to continuously with all or perfect clarity to HEAR the present voice of the Lord, lest being found stubborn and stiff necked as to resist the Holy Ghost, he be condemned/spanked for hardness of heart in disobedience. Jesus was FULLY SUBMITTED AND FULLY SURRENDERED to do ALL THE WILL OF THE FATHER no matter where obeying God took him (The Cross). Jesus could be TRUSTED with such PERFECT God to Son unhindered constant open communication. Most of us cannot, unto that perfect constant communication hearing measure. Our heart has to really be a special heart, a graced heart to be entrusted with the perfect constant hearing the present leading voice of Jesus in full hearing form. I mean how many times as children did we actually hear our parents voices and yet even they (because our hearts were not right or pure), we rebelled and disobeyed their heard voice? Did they not spank us? Yes they certainly did. So it is with God sometimes when we rebell or disobey the real heard right now present voice of the Lord. Moses only one time did that. He heard what God said for him to do with His own ears and he went out there and did just the opposite of what HE HEARD God say to him. God seriously spanked Moses for disobeying His right then present heard voice. * * * * * * * * * * * * God our heavenly Father is Eternal Light. Light never ends. Light forever is and Light is forever ongoing. Physical light is Gods Spirits Shadow. God has to put the brakes on Himself so to speak just for us to get a glimpse of Him in our time bound operations. He sent the Holy Ghost to enter into our realm in slow mode, slowed down communications. When Jesus SENT THE HOLY GHOST it meant in a certain measure that He was sent into SLOW MODE HOLY GHOST OPERATIONS. He was already hear Paul wrote, for in God we all live and move and have our being and have been so since the beginning, BUT SIN MADE US NUMB AND BLIND AND DEAD TO GODS SPIRIT AND PRESENCE. He had to become MANIFESTED/REVEALED. The torn curtain meant that it was MANIFESTATION TIME for the Spirit of the Lord to all the world, not just in Israel. It was carnal representations of spiritual conditions and spiritual realities. God is always in us who are filled with the Spirit, but sometimes THE SENT PART TAKES PLACE and we experience more tangibly His always in us presence. As it is written, And the Power of the Lord was present to heal them (Sent Mode). Behold, Jesus said, I FELT Gods Power flow from me (Sent Mode/SLOW MODE). I don't (at present) fully understand what the Spirit of the Lord is fully saying in these spiritual words but I know in time it will be revealed and I will more perfectly see it. In God we live, and move, and have our being yet so few really recognize His mighty presence that we live in, move in, and have our being in. Few really ENTER INTO THE SENT MODE OF GOD. So few are in tuned to His Spirit and Voice. Sometimes when He actually speaks, people have said, What was that? and People have answered, IT WAS THUNDER. But Jesus knew EXACTLY what God said inside of him and outside of him. He was in tune. He heard His Fathers Voice clearly. Only the hearts ears can hear the voice of the Lord in the Spirit, in the spirit of our fellowship with God. But if the hearts ears are plugged or in tune to other voices and interest, that soul will seldom really hear the voice of the Lord within. Life will be like a haze of wonderment and questions in things pertaining to God. We must walk in the light as He is in the light or we will be numb to His Spirit of Light and nearly deaf to His Voice and Presence. Jesus is that Light. But this we do have. Hebrews 1 tells us that God has Spoken unto us in these last days by His Son and those spoken Words have been written and have become Scriptures. God will never utter words that go contrary to what He has already spoken thru His Son. God thundered His voice thru His Son and the sound of His glory has gone out and has been heard in reach to the four corners of the earth thru even the IT IS WRITTEN. We have THE BIBLE. The voice of the Lord RECORDED in printed words. Are you listening? The BIBLE is the TRUE VOICE of the Lord PREVIOUSLY RECORDED for us to read, hear, incline to, believe and obey. Keep pressing says the Lord, I'm Here. You will find Me when you seek after Me with ALL YOUR HEART. Partial seeking like an occasional Sunday visit want get you there.
