Pursue and Prepare
Pursue and Prepare
By Mel House
As I have been seeking the Lord's direction, he has prompted the words pursue and prepare. While we pursue, we must also prepare the land. Allow Holy Spirit to remove stones, thorns, and hard ground to replace with good fertile soil in our hearts that will yield great harvest in our lives and those in our influence. When praying over the word pursue, I was reminded of Psalms 42:1: As the deer pants for the brook, my soul longs for you, oh God. Also, Jeremiah 29:13: 'If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.' Our desire and hunger must increase while pursuing Him. Other references are 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 Timothy 6:11-12, 1 Thessalonians 5:15, Hebrews 4:16
The kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN in a field, which a man FOUND and COVERED UP. Then, in his JOY, he goes and SELLS ALL he has and BUYS that FIELD.
Matthew 13:44
The Father has purchased and covered the field with his Son, Jesus! Heaven was bankrupted to buy the field. Holy Spirit is Drawing out the Treasure in his people. He is Pursuing US. He is desiring to bring forth MUCH FRUIT!
It is a time of Fathers and Mothers drawing out the precious stones from deep in the heart (ground) by helping them seek and yield to the Father. I’m hearing Don’t Runaway from this season of plowing, planting, and reaping Much Fruit. Come Higher and Go Lower.
Our PURSUING is tied to Our YIELDING!
As we pursue Him deeper, Holy Spirit will grant the revelations of hidden stones in the fields that will be removed through the tending of our gardens by Holy Spirit as we yield.
This is a season of “Much Fruit.” A making of deposits and withdrawals. This is for individuals, leaders, the body of Christ, and the Nations. 1 Cor. 3:9 ESV For we are God’s fellow workers. YOU ARE GOD’S FIELD. I hear the Spirit saying, “God is building! I desire to replace the stones with Fruit trees for the Nations and the thorns with Oak Trees. Remove the obstacles that keep me from manifesting my presence so that I may be glorified in you and the nations may see that I AM GOOD.”
