“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Isaiah 65: 8 Thus says the Lord: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ so will I do for My servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

When God is walking in our soul, which is the bride, the church and the good deeds that he is doing within us

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should receive the produce of the soul in the right seasons.

But today the things what we are going to meditate upon are Leviticus 26: 5 – 12 Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;

I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land.

You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.

Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

‘For I will look on you favourably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you.

You shall eat the old harvest and clear out the old because of the new.

I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.

I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, the time of threshing, in a man’s life when it comes is that it will last till the time of vintage. The fruit grapes mean the spiritual fruits. When we meditate upon this, the vine plant signifies our Lord Jesus Christ. The branches signify each one of us.  That is, along with the plant, which is the word of Christ; the branches, which is our soul unites and when we do the good deeds according to Christ and when we live along with spiritual fruits, then we will have the time of threshing.

That is, the time of threshing comes and the good produce, which is the decoration of our soul only is written as the time of vintage. This decoration is only the holy decoration. Receiving that holy decoration means we must have the nine fruits of the spirit without any mistake. If we have to receive them we must leave the fellowship that we have with the deeds of the Satan, which is the world. Only if we do that, we can safeguard our soul in holiness.

The fruits of the Spirit Galatians 5: 22, 23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

If we will follow the above-mentioned things carefully, there is no law against this. Also, when we meditate upon this, God is using the children of Israel and showing us as a pattern. That is, when the Israelites went to Canaan to spy the land when they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they saw clusters of grapes and we see that they cut them, and they carried and took them. What that signifies is that God is showing that as a pattern to the harvest of our soul. 

In the grapes, there are the good grapes and sour grapes. God did not desire in the sour grapes. Regarding that, what God is saying is that Isaiah 5: 1 – 7 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved a song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

He dug it up and cleared out its stones and planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, and also made a winepress in it; so He expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.

“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.

What more could have been done to My vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

So, God is telling his judgement here. In that land, which is our soul briers and thorns shall come forth. He is telling that I will command that no rain should fall on them. What that signifies is that we will not be able to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Also, the judgement of the Lord will cleanse us. If we accept that with joy, then the kingdom of heaven will become ours. Regarding that, Revelation 14: 14 – 20 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 

So, He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Then another angel came out of the temple, which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 

So, the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 

And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

Also, what the word of God is saying is that the vintage shall last till the time of sowing. What this shows is that if there is sowing, there will be reaping. Therefore, it is written that we must eat the bread to the full and dwell in the land safely. If we give good produce, our soul will dwell safely in the house of God. There God will command peace upon us. No one can make us afraid. He will get rid of the evil beasts from our soul. Judgement will be stopped. Enemies will be chased. God will make the enemy fall by the sword, which is the word of God. 

Also, he will look favourably upon us and makes us fruitful and multiply. God will confirm his covenant with us. We will take in the statues and we will follow new commandments. If we submit ourselves in this manner, God will set his tabernacle within us. Then God will not abhor us. Then God will walk among us and will be our God. We will be his people.

My dear people, let us submit ourselves so that we will be his people. 

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
