Season of Reaping Because of the Weeping by Shauna Carrington

By Shauna Carrington
A few Saturdays ago I woke up fairly early and went on my walk at the park. As I began to walk I asked the Lord to lead me by His Spirit, that I would pray according to His heart, not mine and His plan, not mine. I committed to just pray in the spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and He would sound in me the profound and bottomless things of God according to 1 Corinthians 2:9.  As I was finishing up my last mile I heard these words rise up in my spirit, "You have entered into a new season. It's a season of reaping because of the weeping." I recall thinking, "Was that me??" and then I heard it again, "A season of reaping because of the weeping!"

A few Saturdays ago I woke up fairly early and went on my walk at the park. As I began to walk I asked the Lord to lead me by His Spirit, that I would pray according to His heart, not mine and His plan, not mine. I committed to just pray in the spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and He would sound in me the profound and bottomless things of God according to 1 Corinthians 2:9. 
 
As I was finishing up my last mile I heard these words rise up in my spirit, "You have entered into a new season. It's a season of reaping because of the weeping." I recall thinking, "Was that me??" and then I heard it again, "A season of reaping because of the weeping!" I quickly recalled Isaiah 55:10 (Amplified) & Psalm 56:8 (NLT), I knew He wanted to expound on this and give me more insight on what I was hearing in my spirit so I positioned myself and leaned in, asking Him to give me understanding. If I may insert here that I am BLOWN AWAY by the thought that we actually serve a God that desires intimacy with US, He desires fellowship, intimate dialogue and to share HIs secrets with His children; this leaves me in AWE of HIs AMAZING LOVE! 
 
Isaiah 55:10 says,"For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but waters the earth and makes it bring forth and sprout." Psalms 56:8 says, "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected ALL my TEARS in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your books." These verses AMAZE me and remind me of just how LOVED we truly are, I mean, I don't even keep my own children's tears in a bottle!
 
He continued to enlighten me and I heard in my heart, "Shauna, it takes water and nutrients to cause the earth to bring forth its fruit and if the earth which I created is to mirror the Kingdom of God then doesn't it make sense that in order for you to bring forth good fruit, much fruit and excellent fruit which will remain that you as well need to be watered and nourished? If I promised to turn your mourning into dancing, If I have said that those who sow in tears shall reap in joy and If I bottle each tear that falls from your eyes during a trying season then why would I not allow the very bottle that holds each tear to be tipped over, watering every part of your life?" 
 
If it takes both a negative terminal and positive terminal in order to create a circuit which allows electrons to flow creating energy that empowers any devise to function properly then isn't it possible that it is just as important for you and I to experience negative situations (trials, test) which result in seasons of weeping for the purpose of the new/next season so we can bear much more abundant fruit according to His word? Maybe this is what He met when He told us in James 1:2 NLT, "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy."
 
I don't know about you but this helps me understand the importance of each season we go through because I assure you, He will never waste one experience but He will make and cause ALL THINGS to work out for your good!
 
Have a wonderful day!

Psalm 118:23-24 captivates me! I love when I wake in the morning hearing His loving kindness ministering to my heart. I love that we serve a God that has given us the ability to choose, the question is, "What will we choose this day?" Psalm 118:23-24 in the Passion says, "The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so AMAZING, so MARVELOUS to see! 24 This is the day of the Lord that brings GLADNESS and JOY, filling our hearts with glee." Don't you just love this passage of scripture...His promise to you and I! 
Did you know that you and I are called and commissioned by the word of God to be an "Agent of Unity?" Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor regardless of their outward condition) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons/daughters of God!" Unity in the Greek means to be united in soul, of one mind, one accord; to be co-spirited joined close together in tight identification. Peacemaker definition: A person who helps others solve a conflict and reach a peaceful solution; a person who tries to create harmony or make peace. 
Philippians 4:13 (TPT) paraphrasing, "I am trained in the secret of overcoming all things. I find that the strength of Christ's explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty." What does it mean to possess an overcoming spirit? According to Philippians 4:13 in the Strong's Concordance it means, "Engaging the Resistance." This refers to the Lord strengthening you and I with combative, confrontative force to achieve all He gives faith for. This is, facing necessary resistance that brings what the Lord defines is success.
