Celebrating Your Invisible Harvest
Monday, November 23, 2020
One of the most peculiar things about Jewish people is that for two thousand years they've been celebrating holidays that don't exist. There's Shavuot, the Feast of Summer Harvest and Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. They haven't had a summer harvest nor an autumn harvest to celebrate in two thousand years. And yet for two thousand years they've been giving thanks to God for harvests that never existed; sacrificial lambs that are no more; and a Temple that is nowhere to be seen. It would be as if we in America celebrated July 4, set off rockets, sang the 'Star Spangled Banner,'.... but there was no founding fathers, no Declaration of Independence, no Constitution, and no nation known as the 'United States.' But everywhere we celebrated that nation that didn't exist as if it did. The nation of Israel celebrates, that which cannot be seen as if it could, and that which is yet to be, as if it now already is. If you're born again, you are now of the Commonwealth of Israel. When you have no reason to celebrate and give thanks and hold your festival... do it anyway, and God will give all the reasons you need.
From Message #699 - The Dream Harvest
What are you believing God for today? God will never fail to accomplish whatever he has promised to you, even though you may not see it.
