A LIVING WORD YESTERDAY

SOUND

Sickles of Praise and Baskets of Thanksgiving In the Fields and Vineyards of the Heart

These words came to me,

A thankful heart is an open avenue for my goodness. I inhabit the praises of my people. Continue to be thankful, and behold the abundance of goodness overtaking you. The windows of heaven have been opened, and blessings are being poured out. Behold the kindness that I am showing to you each day that you live. Be abundantly grateful, and experience me in a light of knowledge not known to those who casually give thanks.

There is a super abundance of my goodness. Many live in the shallow places of this life because they have never filled their entire hearts with thanksgiving. Be overwhelmed with thanksgiving this morning. I am filled with goodness. My generosity is plenteous. My kindness is a willing expression of my great love. I am the excellent God who is above all gods. I have come to live inside of you. Of what value is that to you?

How much is that worth to you?

How often do you think about that reality?

You have found grace in my sight. I go with you and remain with you even unto the end of the age. I have called you by name. My goodness has come unto you, and my graciousness is obvious in your life. Brokenness should be your expression because I have shown you mercy. I have revealed myself unto you. Though you know me in a little portion, however, that little portion of knowledge is great in value. How little a portion is heard of me, the Living God?

Who can understand the thunder of my power?

You see through a glass darkly, but one day you shall see me face to face. You know in part now, but one day, you shall know me as I am. Grace and abundant goodness are yours today. My goodness leads to repentance; therefore, keep the commandments without spot, unrebukeable, until my appearing when I shall show that I am the only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. What value have you placed on the open door into my presence today?

You came into the presence of the Creator. Did you consider that?

Many walk into my presence and take my goodness for granted. If my goodness were taken away from you, where would you dwell?

I have restored the joy of salvation. A living word has been given to you. Eat the good word of God this morning, and taste and see how good I am. The abundance of my goodness has abounded. The fields of your life are filled with plenty. The fruit of my goodness has exceeded your expectancy. If you would come through your fields with the sickle of praise, then you would find new ground for the harvest of plenty. My goodness is as an unharvested crop in a field for many. They have not journeyed down the rows of their lives and given thanks for all that is there. Take up the sickle of praise, and harvest my goodness. Take up baskets of thanksgiving, and gather the fruit of my goodness. My goodness has spoiled you, for you have left much of its fruit in the vineyard of your life and not touched it with the hands of praise and the lips of thanksgiving.

Journey through your heart with me this morning, and I will show you how wretched you are. Much of my goodness is not perceived because your heart is filled with so much of self and things. If you would behold the majesty of the one who lives inside, your temple would be filled with my glory. My glory does not shine on the faces of the people because they neglect to give abundant praise and thanksgiving to their King who abides forever. I touched your eyes this morning that you may behold me living inside of you. Cry out for this awareness, and you shall envision the reality of my Spirit within you.

What royal guest comes to your house and is not honored to the highest degree?

Am I a guest or the Lord of the house?

Where is my honor and my praise?
