The Harvest

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 24th October 1936

Harvests are many the seasons may come and go and are varied in accordance with the harvest that we desire to reap. To this harvest we journey rejoice in our expectation to gather the fruits of our endeavours. Many days many weeks have I walked my Brethren sowing the seeds of expectation the seeds of mystery eagerly awaiting the results impatiently expecting to gather the fruits oftimes ere the fruit had ripened thus destroying the results of our labours. 'Tis true there are many who fail to understand there are those who are overanxious to reap what they have sown. My message to ye my children is as in the past patience tolerance obedience judge ye not until the end.

The seasons are long the fruits of God's endeavours take years to mature as in the gardens of your material knowledge. You visualise the changing of the season judging the results of thy labours by the abundance of the crop though to thy knowledge many times has the fruits of thy endeavours been destroyed by the winds the frost and the rain thus the necessity of withholding our judgement of what we will be permitted to gather until the end.

Then shall we be permitted to consume the fruits of our labours or shall we hear the clarion call bidding us to leave that which we have laboured and gathered as a sacrifice to God.

Many years it has taken to sow the harvest that we expect to reap the changes have not been notices by many who are spiritual or material but I ask you to look with me upon the ripening harvest that we desire to gather the sentiments of the material kind throughout thy material world are centred upon the force of God's Holy Influence so ye realise at the commencement of the growth of the seed we have sown but realise oh many material and spiritual ere the harvest has been gathered many changes may yet be expected as in thy material gardens fruits will fall some will fail to ripen some will decay but those who have the protection of the leaves of God's Holy Influence shall survive. It is not as ever be ye material or spiritual or be ye a garden seed of the material thou dost flourish and produce that which thou didst expect to be gathered consumed unused were ye allowed the privilege to enjoy the sojourn undisturbed for the beauty and the seed that were thine so that thou may produce an abundance of thy kind which was thine in the making. Can ye oh my people come here and enjoy the pleasure and the realisation that the seeds are about to produce that which we so long have desired.

In the east we see the storms the wind the rain the destruction are they the weeds or the fruit yea even worst storms sometimes brings relief to those who are in need. The material kind are reaping the fruits of realisation the destruction of the material kind created by greed and covetness with the realisation of the destruction of that which we do not desire we bring as in a storm the knowledge of the Power of God and the necessity of brotherly love.
