One Grape
Psalm 80:7, 17, 19 “Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.” “ Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.” “Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”
Beloved,
His banner over us is Love. Be sustained, be refreshed.
Go into the world with boldness and pick the grapes that are ripe. Your eyes have been opened, and can now see clearly. You will recognize those grapes that are ripe, and ready to be picked. From sunrise to sundown, you will spend it in the vineyard and the Lord will walk beside you. It is not for you to be alone, but the Lord of all things will always be by your side. He delights in your company, in your breath that breathes the rarified air of the Kingdom of God. Though in past, things were taken from you and enemies surrounded you, raiding your vineyard and taking what they did not work for. But now in an instant, this suddenly has arrived and you have been set apart, for the Father loves you. Ancient walls have been restored.
There will be shade for you, when the heat of the day beats down on your head. Because of the Lord’s presence, you will walk in His shadow at all times. In that shadow you will be restored again, surely each morning will bless you with new things and your mind will be renewed. The Lord Jesus, is the Word that became flesh, and now lives in you and through you. Your hand that reaches for the next grape is also His Hand, and the harvest will be great in this season. While in the vineyard harvesting, you will thirst and God will even bring water from the rock. Your heart will be refreshed as you quench your thirst on this living water anchored in the rock before you.
You will groan inwardly for more of Him in these days, even with His Presence there will be more that you want from Him. His closeness allows Him to hear immediately the groan from within and you will receive. You always have your hands out and open. He will hold your hand and walk with you through the multitude of rows so that you will not miss one. He will satisfy you with the more, and you will overflow with sweet wine. He has become your sole source, a fountain that you return to every day. There is a place in His heart reserved for you, where you will meet with Him face to face. He loves and adores you, His Bride.
One grape in your hand will result in an ocean of wine poured out on the world, touching the nations with the Truth and the sweetness of God’s love. For He loved you so much, that He gave everything, His only Son Jesus to die for you. In this love, if you desire to enter in, will explode with dunamis power, impacting all that you come in contact with. No one will ever be the same after being exposed to the Lord Jesus. Yes, pick the ripe grapes and turn them into sweet wine that refreshes. Hurry, I hear His voice calling your name.
