Saints of the Lord,
Divine exchange-In a parable the Lord shows us how thorns and thistles choke the harvest of the seed sown in the field of life. These thorns and thistles represent the daily worries of our lives, worry of a future, a present living, so many challenges and needs, wants and desires that choke the growth of the harvest that the Lord has in our lives in His perfect will.
Luk 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luk 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luk 8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Luk 8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
Luk 8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
A person wears his achievements like a crown and it represents the success of toiling about in the thorns and thistles of this world and achieving wealth ,status or position in one’s life with ones efforts.
We all wear the robes of achievement and our crown of achievement in this world and walk like a victor in life nothing less than a kingly display of a champion in life on this earth.
The Divine grace of the Lord Jesus and his crown of thorns calls us all to REST IN THE SALVATION offered by our Lord Jesus.
Where did these thorns come from?
Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Yes! They came due to our disobedience to hearing God's voice His command.
He sweated Blood for us that we may rest from our heavy labour!
Luk 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
Luk 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
Divine Exchange out of the Fathers Heart of Compassion! Out of Divine Love of Lord Jesus for us!
Mat 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Mat 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Lord Jesus finished it all; he took away the thorns and thistles that were for us representing it by his crown of thorns on the cross. He sweated blood to ease our labour; he took all the pain of our achievements and displayed them by the scarlet robe and by the crown of thorns.
He Said unto us...
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Mat 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
For where there is presence of the Lord, there is no sweat,
Eze 44:17 And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Eze 44:18 They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.
For where there is presence of the Lord, there is rest,
Exo 33:12 And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favor in my sight.
Exo 33:12 And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favor in my sight.
Exo 33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
Exo 33:14 And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Jesus Christ, asks us to Rest in His Salvation by His Divine Grace. No more thorns of our labour but riches and glory in Father's Perfect will.
O Lord, help us grow in understanding and wisdom that will make us choose your paths and do according to thy ways. Make our hearts like the fertile soil the good soil and it bring forth fruit a hundred fold. May your anointing of the Holy Spirit - your presence in us last forever. We ask that you will teach us to live by grace attaching to the anointing that flows through us by your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we ask, Amen!
