DON'T RUSH THE HARVEST : Let me give an example concerning restoration of eyes heard of a lady who set under some teaching on faith and healing's. She wore glasses, but she was prayed for by the laying on of hands that her eyes would be restored. The next day she said, "I believe I received my healing," so she didn't wear glasses. She started having headaches immediately. She said, "Lord, I don't understand this. I believe I received my healing." She prayed about it, and the Lord said to her, "you don't have the manifestation yet. Hold fast to your faith. Hold fast to your confession. But go ahead and wear your glasses. But every time you put them on, say, "thank God, I believe I've received my healing. I believe my eyes are restored." She started doing that each time she wore her glasses. She mixed faith with what she believed. By pulling off her glasses, she was trying to have full corresponding actions toward what she believed, but she didn't have full manifestation. She only had the blade, not the full corn in the ear. Remember, Jesus said, "First the blade, then the ear." This is living by every Word of God, it was conceived, and it was producing, but she didn't yet have the mature harvest. If she could have seen clearly, then that would be the full manifestation. Some people are not only living by faith, they are driving by faith, because they can't see. First, that's illegal; and second, it's foolishness when you don't have the manifestation. The Lord says, that how it is when you are believing for healing for your physical body. Take the medicine, medicine cannot stop the healing nor will medicine heal you, your confession of the Word of promise has the life seed in itself. If you can see, then take your glasses off. But if you can't see, put your glasses on and stay legal. This lady confessed, "I believe I received my healing; I believe I received my healing," every time she put her glasses on. This went on for several months. Then she started having headaches with her glasses on, and she said, "Lord, I don't understand it. Now I'm having headaches with my glasses on." The Lord said, "Remove your glasses. Your side is restored." She had for manifestation. Her harvest had come. But this lady could have destroyed the harvest. She could have gotten over in unbelief by saying, "Why That, this faith stuff doesn't work." She could have tried to have full corresponding actions toward her fate when she didn't have the "full corn in the ear." "When she only had the blade. But she had conceived the Word of promise, and she released her faith in that prayer. Some would say of her actions, "well There, that wasn't corresponding action." But she did act as far as she had manifestation. This is the action described in the text--- (Mark 4) ... First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he put it in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (Mark 4:28--29) you shouldn't have full corresponding actions toward anything until you have the full manifestation. What's the bottom line ? Live in faith, not in doubt or in fear. Confession of faith, and act as far as your faith is developed. Let your actions agree with your manifestation. But don't go beyond your faith and manifestation.
