Today I share the conclusion to my communion time on the benefits of walking in a Covenant with the Lord.
We are to remember that the Lord provides the necessary correction that leads to us reaping the Harvest the Lord intended for us to have for obeying Him. Isaiah 58 does not leave us the Lord’s people without an answer because the Lord responds to their question about why their fasting was not producing the expected results and shows them what they were doing wrong and how they should correct it.
He gives them the pathway by which they can once again experience the full benefits associated with fasting and devotion to Him. This fact is a demonstration of the Lord’s willingness to correct us rather than abandon His covenant people which reveals clearly that their lack of results did not mean that the Lord had forsaken them. So their question became the doorway to the path of correction, and the correction received became the doorway to their restoration and harvest.
This message therefore encourages you not to become discouraged after you have obeyed the Lord and have not yet seen the expected manifestation of the expected harvest. Instead, you should ask the relevant question of the Lord by seeking the Holy Spirit’s insight. Then allow Him to expose and reveal to you whatever has been missed, misunderstood, neglected, or incorrectly applied.
The goal is not merely to know that something went wrong but to receive the correction that leads to repentance which brings you back into the pathway of the Lord’s intended result which is to recover missed harvests. Endeavour to understand how this principle works to cause you to reap harvests from past bad experiences.
There may be times of fasting, obedience, prayer, giving, or other acts of faithfulness for which you have never seen the corresponding harvest. This message declares with clarity that you should not simply write those experiences off as being lost. Instead, it is time to ask the Lord what happened and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the missing pieces in the puzzle of your harvests.
Remember that with the Lord there can be recovery of harvests from previous seasons of fasting and obedience that you have not yet fully benefited from. So the call is therefore to arise again in the strength of the Lord, by becoming harvest-conscious, and cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that what the Lord intended to produce through your obedience can come into manifestation.
The central word of encouragement to you is this: Do not merely sow and forget about the harvest. Do not obey and then assume that the absence of immediate results means the Lord has refused you. Ask the Holy Spirit your Helper the relevant questions, then receive the Lord’s correction, by making the necessary adjustment, and positioning yourself to reap what He has promised.
Always remember that when the Lord’s promised result has not followed your obedience, don’t quickly conclude that the Lord does not care or does not want to answer you. Ask Him what you have missed because the right question you ask can open the door to divine correction, and divine correction will bring you into the designated harvest.
I declare that the Holy Spirit is awakening in you a fresh understanding of the covenant relationship you have with the Lord. So you will no longer become discouraged when you do not immediately see the results connected to your obedience, but you will have grace to ask the right questions, to hear the Lord’s answers, by receiving His correction, and making every adjustment necessary to come into the manifestation of His promises in your lives.
I declare that every place where you have obeyed the Lord but have not yet experienced the corresponding harvest is coming under the light of the Holy Spirit. So that what you have missed out on will be revealed which ensures that what needs to be corrected will be corrected. Then what needs to be restored will be restored, so that what has appeared lost will not remain lost.
It is time to receive the grace to become harvest-minded in your prayer, fasting, giving, obedience, and every other area in which you sow according to the Lord’s Word. You will no longer faint in the process of seedtime, but you will stand in faith for your harvest. Be open to the Lord of the harvest who is bringing you into the results He intended for you when you obeyed Him.
May the Holy Spirit guide you into the recovery of your prayer and fasting harvests from former seasons, and may all your forgotten or delayed harvests come into manifestation in the now of your life. It is time for you to rise in the strength of the Lord, by walking in divine understanding, and experience the fullness of the Lord’s promised results.
Your obedience will produce fruit, your questions will produce understanding, your corrections will produce alignment, and your alignment will produce the harvest in Jesus’ name. Amen.
