Go Forth, Go Forth Into the Ripened Fields They Are Ripe Unto Harvest

There are some famous "going forths " in the Bible. I will share only a few , lest I lose your interest in this blog. Gen 8:16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. You realize of course , at the time Noah went forth into the ark it took courage. For one hundred years, he knew this day was going to happen. For one hundred years, he trusted in God's sovereignty to protect himself and his family in THE DAY to come. Finally the time came to go forth into the ark with his family.
I dare say there are alot of people aware of what DAY this is right now. Some are joyfully anticipating being taken up out of this world soon.
Almost all that speak of it have one lament. Oh if only , (put a loved one's name in here) was ready to go.
May I suggest to all who are ready to go at anytime that we have some going forth to do. If the Spirit of the LORD is upon you , you will have some idea of what going forth will look like.
For me it is preparing for the Feast of Tabernacles even when it does not seem to be the popular thing to do this year. My children need the opportunity to partake of sacraments with me. They may not go to church with me but that has nothing to do with breaking bread and drinking grape juice in remembrance of what JESUS did for us. My house will do just fine. So many times we refer to "going to church" as the building we go to on Sundays. My church is right here in my home, it is in me , where ever I go , church is with me. When ever I find another person who will let me talk about Jesus, here we are, at church.
I would like to invite my children to go on a camping trip with me and celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles together. Right at this time the best I feel I am going to be able to do is have a sleep over, everyone bring a sleeping bag.
We will go out in the middle of the night and look up at the stars in the sky and I will remind them of how God took care of the children of Israel in the wilderness. I will add that I fully believe He, this same God, is our God and He will take care of us in the days ahead.
They have been watching this God take care of me for many years. They have witnessed a miraculous healing in my life. They have heard me say," I had this vision when praying for you" and found it to be true. They know this God I am telling them to trust in , is real. Now as I tell them ,"Let us go forth into the ark," I hope they will respond. At the same time I am seeing many being bid , "go forth" and need a little encouragement. That is the gift the Holy Spirit has given me , so whatever struggle they might be having , the Holy Spirit will surely give me a word of encouragement for them.
If you have a loved one that you wish was ready to go , may I encourage you to seek the kingdom of God first and His righteousness. While going into this ark of refuge , invite your loved ones to come with you. I know it might seem strange to have a communion supper with them in your home. What if it makes the difference between where they spend eternity ? What if it is the opportunity they need to see a visual aid of remberance of what Jesus did for them? Even if you partake while they watch, what better way for the Holy Spirit to begin to speak to their hearts? Go forth ! Go forth ! Go forth ! Pray and seek Him for boldness. Better that you do one thing that the HOLY SPIRIT lead you to do and have His Spirit give you boldness than you do a hundred things I tell you to do.
For me it is to do as I suggest above . May it be that the HOLY SPIRIT give you another "going forth" so be it. Here am I to encourage you.
Go forth !
