I've been brooding over a 'word' that the Lord gave me, going on three weeks ago, now. It was just as I was preparing myself for the day - I heard the Holy Spirit say, 'Build an altar! Celebrate!'
I believe it was a mandate, to change our position in life, now!
We should already be living, daily, the CELEBRATORY life that Jesus came and purchased for us - on the CROSS. What a price He paid. What a sacrifice He made. What a sadness to Him if we don't receive what He paid for us to have with His very being. Oh, what a divine purchase was made for anyone who wills! What a day, that day, where Jesus gave it all away and took it all back - regained it all - for the takers!
Takers / Harvesters
John 4 - Jesus meets the woman at the well. He gives her that water from the well that shall never run dry, that living water, heavenly substance. Jesus, the living fountain. Dayspring!
Immediately following, the woman brings an entire company of those whom she'd run to and given witness to.
The disciples grow weary with the constant barrage of people swarming Him, pressing upon Him, continually keeping, detaining Him. There was a massive pull, always, upon Jesus. He could go nowhere to find solace. He and His disciples were forced to search out places of harbor - slipping secretly, seeking getaway hiding places for the resting of their bodies.
In this particular instance, Jesus was being pressed upon, once again. The disciples began begging Him to take a break and to find food for themselves....
John 4: 28-32 - The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did; is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
Oh, there it is: THE MEAT THAT WE KNOW NOT OF!
See what the Master says next:
John 4: 34-38 - 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. and he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour; other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
All through my years, I've heard it taught that the harvest spoken of here, by Jesus, was that of souls of men. And it was. But Jesus, was constantly giving something out - people were always reaping of the things that He was giving - or - sowing. The prophets spoke of Jesus (men laboured before the disciples); they sowed the knowledge and foresight of His coming advent! But now...NOW...THE FRUIT WAS AMONGST THEM - THE HARVEST WAS PRESENT!
JESUS' MEAT, WAS TO FIND ONES WHO WOULD REACH OUT AND REAP OF THAT HARVEST, THE WORD MANIFESTED, JESUS HIMSELF AND WHAT HE CAME TO GIVE. THAT WHICH MAN DID NOT SOW TOWARDS, RATHER, THE FATHER WILLINGLY AND FREELY GAVE - HIS SON - COME IN THE FLESH - TO REDEEM BACK UNTO THE ORIGINAL HARVEST THAT GOD HAD GIVEN UNTO ADAM.
Jesus was the seed sown, for the harvest unto all mankind, to freely partake of.
His meat was to find the reapers, lest the harvest be wasted!
The Promise of Harvest
2 Peter 1: 3,4 - According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue; whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust...
Is that not cause to CELEBRATE?
Oh, all those years ago, when the Glory of God, opened the eyes of my understanding and brought that anointed enlightenment over His Word! I recall vividly, the very moment and place where I read this verse in scripture:
Romans 6: 3,4 - Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life! For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Know this, that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
2 Corinthians 5: 17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.
Oh, that man would seek God for the blinders to be removed from their eyes; the scales!
Acts 9: 17,18 - And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother, Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Hebrews 2: 3,4 - How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles; and gifts of the Ghost Ghost, according to his own will?
2 Corinthians 4: 3,4 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world hath binded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
My friends, I pray for you today, that above all else...

Oh my, my! That all men might receive the harvest of His Seed Sown!
