  Speaker 1: Answer early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie at
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: his time, right now for today's word, your season of reaping,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Your season of reaping. John four point thirty five says,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: say not, ye, there are yet four months, and then
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: cometh harvest. Behold, I say unto you. Lift up your
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: eyes and look on the fields, for they are white
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: already to harvest. You know, one of the greatest challenges
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of faith is waiting. We pray, we believe, we sow
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: good sees, we remain faithful, and yet it seems as
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: though nothing is changing. Day after day, month after month,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes even year after year. We continue trusting God while
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: wondering when the breakthrough will finally come. If we're not careful,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: waiting can slowly turn into settling. We began to lower
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: our expectations. We stop believing for the miracle. We quietly
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: accept that perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. But
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus challenges that kind of thinking. He said, say not
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that there are yet four months and then comes the harvest.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: In other words, don't keep postponing what God is ready
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to do. Don't convince yourself that your blessing is always
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: somewhere out in the future. Don't allow disappointment to rob
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you of expectation. Jesus looked at the fields and declared
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that they were already white and ready for harvests. What
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: look ordinary to everyone else, Jesus saw as ready. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that's often how God works. While you're wondering if he's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: doing anything at all, He's already arranging divine appointments. He's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: already lining up the right people. He's already preparing opportunities
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you haven't even imagined. He's already working behind the scenes
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in ways you can't see. The seed you've planted has
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not been wasted. Every prayer you've prayed matters, Every act
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of obedience counts. Every sacrifice you've made has been noticed
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: by Heaven. Every time you choose forgives over bitterness, faith
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: over fear, integrity over compromise. You were planning seeds that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: God has promised to bless. The harvest always comes after planning.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: The farmer doesn't dig up the seed every few days
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to see if it's growing. He trusts the process. He
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: continues watering the ground because he knows that beneath the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: surface life is developing. God asks us to have that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: same confidence don't let today's circumstances convince you that tomorrow's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: harvest isn't coming. The breakthrough may be closer than you think.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The healing may be nearer than you realize. The answer
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you prayed for may already be on the way. This
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is not the season to become discouraged. This is a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: season to lift your eyes. Lift your eyes above the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: set backs, lift your eyes above the delays, lift your
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: eyes above the disappointment. See your life through the lens
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of God's promises instead of your present circumstances. The same
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: God who promised the harvest is faithful to bring to pass.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So you stay hopeful, You stay faithful, you stay expectant. Oh,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: because God's timing is never late. And when He opens
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the windows of heaven, oh what seem delayed can suddenly
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: become your reality. Your season of sowing has not been
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in vain. So you keep believing, You keep thanking him,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you keep preparing your heart. Your hearvest is closer than
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you think. Oh, Father God, thank you, Thank you that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you are the Lord of the harvest, and that every
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: seed of faith, of obedience, generosity and perseverance and we've
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: sown is precious in your sight. Thank you that you're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: working even when we can see it, preparing blessings in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: your perfect timing. Help us not to grow weary and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: well doing, or allow disappointment to steal our expectation. Fill
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: our hearts with fresh faith to believe that you are
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: bringing our harvest to fruition. We declare that we will
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: not settle for lessen your promises. We will keep our
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: eyes on you, our hope alive, our spirit full of expectation,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: knowing that our season of reaping is drawing near. In
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name, that's your word for today. Take it applied
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and inspired. It's your early morning praise party. I am
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Sherry Mackie.
