Fight or Flight (Guarding your Harvest)
Hebrews 10:35-36 (AMP) Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
- The quality and quantity of your harvest is directly proportional to how you sow!
- Your SEED determines your HARVEST!

- We must be faithful to water the seed with Praise!!

54 I live by the Word. Jesus said, “It’s written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.’” And This is It! And That is given to us as a heritage. It’s our inheritance, the Word! O God, let us think of It in the—the deepness of It.
55 It’s—it’s our privilege. It’s this sacred trust that God has put to His Church. God gave His Word to His Church. And that sacred heritage is ours. It’s a gift from God. Not to just compromise on This, and cut This out, and throw This out, and add this in, to suit our own taste; but to preach the full Word, the whole Gospel. We are duty bound, as Christians, to take It and believe It. When we know, “If our hearts condemn us not, then we know we have favor with God.”
56 But when we know we are bypassing Something, that some great heritage that belongs to us, that we bypass It, because our church said they “Don’t believe in this today, it isn’t for us today.” If we bypass That, then we spoil our inheritage.

Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident… I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.
