0417 Grain - harvest - reaper.... Secular pleasures....
May 14, 1938: Book 9
Accept the gifts as they are offered to you, and make an effort to take an intimate part in them, and you will always be blessed. For the grain is not always ripe for harvest.... it must come in due time. But if the time has not yet come, then it shall be left to the Lord how He brings the fruit to
maturity. Likewise, your spirit is to receive what it is commanded by the heavenly Father.... Until the time of maturity has come, you must surrender yourself completely to the Lord, so that He may let the spiritual fruit in you come to maturity. Likewise, your spirit is to receive what it is commanded by the heavenly Father.... Until the time of maturity has come, you must surrender yourself completely to the Lord, so that He may let the spiritual fruit in you come to maturity.
Then only when the time of harvest has come, when the reaper needs many, then it will become clear how manifold the seed has risen, which the Lord Himself has sown. Pay attention to the coming time, everything that turns to the earth with it's joys cannot develop to spiritual maturity.... The fruits now being brought forth are perishable, worthless results of their earthly change.... they will be thrown aside as weeds at the great harvest, and the right fruits will be very few.
And in this time it will become obvious.... Man with his habits cannot so easily give up what has kept him imprisoned for years and has been of attraction to him until now. He tramples on the good seed that was sown, because he does not recognize it's value.... and so he already gave up everything to be able to count on a good harvest, because he gave up the foundation....
