Working in the vineyard

I like to use natural, things to help you to understand the spiritual things better.


Here is a little child, Kenzie my neice's daughter. She loves to dance, she works hard to be the best she can be. But notice what is doing the most work, it's her feet. Her head gets the praise and glory for it all. But the part of her body, that never gets any praise is working over time, Her feet.
Working in his vineyard.
Whether big things or little things. You have to be just as dedicated. And pay the same price, to be able to do the things that we call little. All jobs in the vineyard are equal and pays the same wages. To work you have to be in good health. So the same with spiritual work. You have to be prayed, fasted, read up, and tuned in to God to hear his voice. A slowful servant want work. He's to lazy, he want pray or nothing, same in the natural. Some people are to lazy to work in the natural. Their house and yard are so dirty and the weeds are all grown up around their house. Same as spiritual house. weeds in their heart from not praying, like bitterness, self will, hate, etc. We will all recieve a penny for our wages. Whether we started at the break of day or just before the queting hour, at the end of the day. Matthew 20:1..For the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market place, and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and what soever is right that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. A when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likwise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have born the burden and the heat of he day.
WE'RE ALL THE SAME IN GOD'S VINEYARD.
My little toe works just as hard as the rest of my body. It may not be noticed or seen, but it works probably harder. But my head gets the praise for everything. Matthew 21:28.. But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.
29. He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went.
30. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first.
Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
I meet this beautiful lady in the Bible Book Store last night. She was displaying some of her work that she had done in the store. I ask her if she had a website, cause I wanted to look at all her work. We then started talking, I showed her one of my books that I had in the store. She then told me of a lady she met one time that had a sweet gentle spirit, and that she handed her a trace. She said normally she would have just throwed it away. But for some unknown reason she keep it and read it later. At that time she said she was smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. She read this track and she threw her cigarettes away. Maybe smoked one after and then quiet. This might not mean nothing to some people, but to me, I was so blessed and it up lifted my faith to the highest. Just think, what just handing a track to some one did, how powerful it was. And this woman that gave her the track, don't even know that this happened. This shows me sometimes, when the enemy discourages us and tells us that what we do don't help no one. And if you never here or see any results in something that the Lord has had you to do. Just know that obeying the Lord is all we have to worry about doing. The Bible says that his word don't return unto him void. It will accomplish what and where he sends it. We just obey and don't listen to discouraging spirits.
The biggest spirits going right now I believe among christians is discouragement. We have to rise above all these spirits. How do we do that is by praying, no one is praying enough. We come up above all these spirits in prayer. If you don't you will be defeated. Rise above the storm by praying and reading the word. If you pray through each day you will have victory. If not you will be defeated. But the things I want to stand out in this today is, Look what obedience did. It don't have to be some big thing, just a small thing. Look what a miracle Jesus did by just getting someone to give this lady a track. When most of the peachers, couldn't have prayed or helped her get free. No doubt she had tried before in church, and nothing happened. Jesus uses the little things to confound the wise. He wants the praise. Malachi 3:14.. Jesus said, FOR I AM A GREAT KING, do you think he is, will you trust him and obey him? Or will you question his ways and argue with Him as if you know a better way to do things, that he is asking you to do. I want to obey and please him, not be like the children of Isreal. And lose out because of their unbelief.
Little things are very important. It's the little foxes that spoil the vine. We're looking for great big things to do, when hey, God is mostly moving down here in the small things. We are missing him.
OH HOW I LOVE MY FATHER, I can't wait to be alone with him. I love watching him reach out to his little hurting sheep. Jesus how I adore you. To what lengths he will have you to go through to reach one of his little ones. He may send you out, to go for miles and miles, just to touch one little sheep, that may be in wal-mart somewhere. And he does he same for us. Watching him work, lets me know how very much he loves us.
He just can't hardly find no one that is willin to work. Do you want to let him use you? The Lord don't have many that will work for him and disappear in the crowd, so GOD can get the praise. Most wants to been seen and to make sure that people think, THEY did it, not GOD.
Standing somewhere in he shadow you will find him, and you'll know him by the nail prints in his hands.
