My, what a beautiful time of year! The
trees are changing colors as though the
hand of our God is painting huge
landscapes of His Love for all who will
praise Him and glorify His Name.
October is also the month of harvest:
fruits, vegetables and all kinds of
wonderful things.
What about spiritual harvesting? Let's
look at Proverbs 13:2:
2 A MAN SHALL EAT GOOD BY THE
FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH.
Now look at Proverbs 15:4:
4 A WHOLESOME TONGUE IS A TREE OF
LIFE: BUT PERVERSENESS THEREIN IS A
BREACH IN THE SPIRIT.
David wrote in Psalm 141:1-3:
1 LORD, I CRY UNTO THEE: MAKE HASTE
UNTO ME; GIVE EAR UNTO MY VOICE,
WHEN I CRY UNTO THEE.
2 LET MY PRAYER BE SET FORTH
BEFORE THEE AS INCENSE; AND THE
LIFTING UP OF MY HANDS AS THE
EVENING SACRIFICE.
3 SET A WATCH, O LORD, BEFORE MY
MOUTH; KEEP THE DOOR OF MY LIPS.
Words are spiritual containers, and
therefore they are the tools with which
every human being on earth sows and
reaps everything he or she has. Words
can contain faith or fear, Love or hate, life
or death, joy or despair, God's words or
the devil's. Jesus put it like this in John
6:63:
63 IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH;
THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: THE
WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY
ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.
Where then, do our words come from?
Isaiah 57:18-19 says:
18 I HAVE SEEN HIS WAYS, AND WILL
HEAL HIM: I WILL LEAD HIM ALSO, AND
RESTORE COMFORTS UNTO HIM AND
TO HIS MOURNERS.
19 I CREATE THE FRUIT OF THE LIPS;
PEACE, PEACE TO HIM THAT IS FAR OFF,
AND TO HIM THAT IS NEAR, SAITH THE
LORD; AND I WILL HEAL HIM.
Glory to God! Read those peace-filled,
