DON'T RUSH THE HARVEST !

DON'T RUSH THE HARVEST ! Let me give an example concerning restoration of eyes. I know of a lady who said under some teaching on faith and healing. 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 receive my healing." So she didn't wear her 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 receive my healing. I believe my eyes are restored." She started doing that each time she wore her glass. She makes faith with what she believed. In other words, what she was saying was her faith being released ! 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." It was conceived, and it was producing, but she did 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 full manifestation. If you can see, then take your glasses off. But if you can't see, put your glasses on and stay legal. So many people have so many religious ideas on how God will work; and they never go to the word of God to find out how God will work. 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 site is restored." She had for manifestation. Because she opened her mouth and said what she believe would be the end results. Her harvest had came. But this lady could have destroyed the heart. She could have gotten over in unbelief by saying, "Why, this faith stuff doesn't work." She could have tried to have full corresponding actions toward her faith when she didn't have the "full corn in the ear. When she only had the blade. But she had conceived the Word of faith, and she released her faith in that prayer. Some will say of her actions, "Well, that wasn't corresponding action." But she did act and as far as she had manifestation. This is the action described in the text -- Mark, chapter 4. ". . . First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (Mark 4:28-29). You shouldn't have full corresponding actions toward anything until you have this for manifestation. What's the bottom line ? Live in faith. Confession of faith, and act as far as your faith is developed. Let your action agree with your manifestation. But don't go beyond your faith and manifestation.
