Bishop Jakes - Living on Purpose pt3

(KJV) Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

(KJV) Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

(KJV) Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

 

You're older han you look. He chose you before the foundation of the earth. He chose your spirit. 

 

 

(KJV) John 4:31  In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

(KJV) John 4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

(KJV) John 4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat?

(KJV) John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

(KJV) John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

(KJV) John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

(KJV) John 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

(KJV) John 4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

 

I am sustained by my purpose. Until I finish his purpose, I cannot expire. 

 

People who see crisis as crisis drown because you will ultimately go in the direction of your vision.  

 

Let the silence settle and speak. Do not energize your enemies by giving them attention. 

 

Their attack lets you know that you have arrived. 

 

Your harvest is white!

 

God orders your steps in the storm, in the chaos, in the crisis. 

 

Say not that there are yet four months and then the harvest. There's nothing worse that keeping company with someone who is always 'fitting to'...

 

If you are going to do something for God, now is the time to get it done! 

 

Procrastination will never produce purpose. 

 

The harvest is white right now. 

 

You have delayed so long that your will has lost trust in your word. 

 

God will always invest in his purpose. Praise him. He will give you what you need to accomplish  his purpose. You will go no further than the person leading you. 

 

Ruth came to Bethelem at the time of the harvest. The ready woman comes to the ready place at the ready time and hinges began to happen. If you were given he harvest before you were ready you Would have messed it up. 

 

Live on purpose!

 

She didn't sow it but she's gonna reap it. She's still able to produce. She's matured but still has vision. She's coming to her season. She gleans behind the reapers. 

 

Get behind the reaper. 

 

She picked some hings that were left one bush. Let her glean behind the reapers.  Having no knowledge of be culture or the harvest style. This is a place in life for which she has not been trained. Any reaper who has actually done the work will leave something behind because they can't get everything. 

 

The mentality.  Of not having time for the little stuff. Then they began to drop something extra. Handfuls. 

 

The step you leave I'd the one that creaks.  Let them squeak. 

 

In your life right now you shoul be dropping something and picking up something. Someone is coming behind you reaping. And if you don't drop something, you will not have room to pick something up. You are tired because you are holding too much stuff.
