My children, today I want you to water and exercise your gifts that have been given to you. I want you to exercise and give out the fruits that you have inside of you that can be brought forth to be produce in someone’s life. I want you to get into My word, get into My presence, and get into true worship. I want you to allow the Holy Spirit to totally take you over and be ready to let this experience water the things that have been planted inside of you.
It is time to let your gifts grow and allow your gifts to be used in your life and in the lives of others. Do not allow your gifts to lay dormant. Do not allow your gifts to collect dust or only be used for your gain. The gifts I have given you is so that you can share and be a blessing to others and to shine for Me to be seen through you.
You ask Me how can I help bring in the harvest right now at this time? Simply live the way that I have been teaching you to live will draw them to Me. You may not see it, but you need to know it will plant the seed, the idea. It will cause them to think and wonder what do you have that they don’t. They will start to search and seek to find out what is different about you. Then if you are approached you will be able to answer them according to what I will want you to say.
Do not be discouraged when you do not see results. You need to remember the growth starts inside where no man can see, but I can see. Ask Me, My children, I will be glad to let you know what is going on and if you are touching others lives as being a living testimony for Me and if there is changes to be made.
I want you to be ready to prophecy whenever i ask you to. Many people need to know that I hear them and I want to use those who are in tuned to Me to speak to them what saith the Lord. They are clouded from My voice so I need to use My willing vessels to speak for Me. But you have to be obedient and speak what I tell you to speak, when and not add to or take away. There will be times that you will give a harsh word, but you must understand that it is to save their lives and very soul.
I want you to exercise the gifts to teach and the talents that I have given you. I do not want you to keep allowing the world to make you so busy that you do not use them. For all the gifts and talents I have given you is for you to use for Me and what better way to bring in My harvest then by doing the things you love to do.
Oh My children do you not see how simple it is? It is not as complicated as you make it out to be. I made you unique and I made you capable to do different things so that you can do them. If you have to gift to speak, then speak of my word and things of Me. If you have the gift to listen then listen and then pray for them. If you have the gift to laugh, then laugh and bring My joy to those around you. If you have the gift to cook, then cook and bless those who do not have or just needs to be cheered up that day. Come to Me and I will let you know what you can do to be the most effective in your gifts.
Your gifts are not to just impress and be used in the church and around church members. They are to be used all the time. Use them in your families, at your jobs, at the playgrounds, parks, shopping, taking others to different places, or simply eating with someone. Your gifts were and are given to you to be able to be more effective in saving the souls that you are to be bringing into My kingdom.
As you are using your gifts also expand and share the fruits that you have to bare. A simple hug to share love, to take your time and be patient with a child during homework, showing kindness to open the door for someone whose hands are full, to stick it out with someone that everyone else seems to give up on, or to encourage and give hope to someone who just doesn’t feel like things are going to get any better. These are only a very few things that you could possible be doing to bring forth My fruits in your life and also be bringing in more of My harvest. These are only a few things that I can use to make a difference in someone’s life through you, a willing vessel.
I have given you help. I have given you guidelines and a guide to show you what and when to do these things. Do not keep letting life pass you by and not bring life back into it. Find out the things that are taking the life out of you and get rid of it. Replace it by doing for others as My Son did for others. Show this world what a great God you serve and what it is to use your gifts and to use the fruits that I have given you. Exercise them, My children. It is time to quit allowing them to keep sitting on the shelf and put them to use for My kingdom.
