Mark 6: 31 - 44
This month bring in all the harvest, gather the fragments and let nothing be lost. Call forth the harvest and bring in all the Souls that have been won. This is also a month of Consolidation
Key points in Mark 6: 31 - 44 about the Seed and the Harvest
1. The Young lad saw the situation and brought what he had – five loaves and two fishes. Verse 38
No Seed is too small. Every Seed has the power to produce a harvest.
2. Jesus received “the seed”, gave thanks and blessed it. Verse 41
Learn to give thanks. Our man of God has thought us to invoke the blessing on our Seeds and offerings, that it may multiply and become more than enough for what it was intended to accomplish.
3. They gathered up the fragments and realized not only the miracle of feeding over 5,000 people but the harvest afterwards – 12 Baskets! – Verse 43.
Call in the harvest. Without this you may not realize what has come in.
This is one of the principles of Consolidation.

CONFESSION:
I am strengthened with the strength of God. I am Fruitful and Productive. I am effective. I am blessed. I am joyful everyday. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water. My leaves are ever fresh. Everything I do prospers. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world! Glory! Glory! Glory!
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
"Psalms 126:5-6"
Without fail it's going happen. This is amazing. You know sheaves is a bundle of stock or grain you bind together after they are caught. You bind them together for transportation or storage. But here he is referring to some forms of harvest from your sowing.
You are coming back with your sheaves. In the old testament God's people were God's servant. God had to do things for them . They called to God and he will do things for them. In the new testament we are his partners, we work together. We do things together. In the old testament the angels had authority over the people. A simple example is when Zachariah failed to believe the word of angel Gabriel. The angel made him dumb for his unbelief. When the people asked him the name of his son when he was finally born, that's when he received his healing. But in the new testament the angels are our servants. They serve us.
Hebrews 1: 13-14 KJV
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? The angels ministered to them in the old testament but they minister for us in the new testament. That's why the name of Jesus is so powerful. We give instructions in the name of Jesus.
John 15:7-8 KJV
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
If you don't make things happen, it won't happen. What do you do? Speak peace like Jesus did. The storm was raging and the wind but he says peace be still. Jesus was not just saying words without understanding. He addressed the waves and the storm. He said calm down. When your heart is beating fast and you are panicking put your hand on your chest and say calm down.
Think what we can do as sons of God. He has made us a wonder. He said nothing shall be impossible unto you. How does he see us? What's on his mind concerning us? He thinks us super because he has blessed us. He has sent us as sheep in the midst of wolves. He wasn't thinking something terrible will happen to us. He says be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. He says fear not I am with you even unto the end of the earth.
It doesn't matter what the storm says the wind boisterous but Jesus said peace be still. The disciples had their peace right in the boat with them. How could you be afraid? Your peace is with you
Now he is not in the boat with us, he is in us. Jesus is the logos. You speak and the miracles happen. No wonder he says he says be rich and full of the word. Let the word dwell in you richly. If you abide in me and I abide in you what do you want? Just tell him. He knows how to fix it. He is wisdom. He knows what to do. You are not even in the midst of the fiery furnace like Shedrach, Mishack and Abdenego yet. God didn't save them from the furnace. The fourth man came in to join them. He is with you even in that challenge. You are not alone.
CONFESSIONS
God is with me. I refuse to fear. God is with me. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. I am above only.
