Implications, I
Psalm 44:3 “They did not win the land with their swords. It wasn’t their strength that won them victory. It was Your strength—Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your presence that gave them success, for You loved them.” (Voice)
The first implication of light is Vision. The second implication of light is Evangelism, and this is huge. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 & 6 “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them… For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (KJV).

Psalm 36:9 “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” (NIV)
God’s light has a source, and the source is God! Therefore, to engage The Source, the first thing we need to do is to Practice His presence. The second thing that we need to do is to Be Engaged In His Word. Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Read the rest of this entry

1 John 1:5 “This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.”
At the beginning of each year, we press in to discern what God wants, and He is gracious enough to give us instructions for the New Year. However, crossing from 2011 into 2012, I said to the Lord, ‘if You would give Your boy just one Word that encapsulates the year and what You want to do, what would it be?’ Read the rest of this entry
Recall
Deuteronomy 4:20 “Remember that the Lord rescued you from the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you his very own people and his special possession, which is what you are today.”
The implications of ingathering for you and me are; number one Harvest. Number two To Invoke God’s Blessings. Number three so that We Will Always Be Grateful.

Only Jesus
Colossians 2:9-10 “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (NIV)
The first significance of ingathering for us is Harvest and the second significance of ingathering for us is The Invocation of God’s Blessings For The Coming Year. Ingathering is not just about gathering in; it is also invoking God’s blessing. In Deuteronomy 6 (please read), Read the rest of this entry
In Place
Luke 11:33 “No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.”
It is so important that you take your relationship with Christ seriously because it is your guarantee for all the things we have been talking about for the past few days. it is your ticket to ingathering.

Time Up!
Psalm 126:1-2 “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.” (KJV)
The first significance of ingathering is Harvest. With the Jews, in the agricultural year, the things that are not brought in during the ingathering rot. But for us, spiritually, the things that are not brought in during ingathering are stored. What does this mean? Read the rest of this entry
Surely!
Isaiah 14:24 “The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand” (NKJV)
John 7:37–39 “On the last day, the climax of the festival [the climax of the season, the festival of ingathering], Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)” This feast is known as the feast of ingathering. As the Priest was rounding up the feast, Jesus barged in and declared that He is the water of life. Ingathering is also the feast of tabernacles or the feast of boots.

C. O. T. III
Psalm 145:16 “When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.”
For every sacrifice that you make for God, it is the hunger behind your sacrifice that God receives. When we bring offerings to God and we say, accept us and accept our offerings. It is the sacrifice that rises up to heaven, the notes stay here, have you noticed? Read the rest of this entry
C. O. T. II
Psalm 42:1-2 “As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?”
One thing heaven can never ignore is a hungry soul. Remember the woman with the issue of blood? She was hungry for her healing. The other people wanted an appointment with Jesus or wanted Jesus to go to their house, that was their business. Afterall, they have enough clout to make it happen. Read the rest of this entry
