                     The Cry Of The Harvesters

	The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Almighty!"
	-- James 5:4b


The time is coming and has already begun for those who have harvested in 
the fields, those who have labored and toiled. The time is coming when you 
will reap and partake of the labor of your hands. For I have seen your 
faithfulness under extreme pressure. When those you serve would impose upon 
you their ways. Because you have served faithfully says the Lord and not 
raised your voice, I will now come in your behalf. For I am your mediator. 
For I ever live to make intercession for you For I am the Great High Priest.

Because you have been faithful in even the little things I have given you, I
will give you much.

For I see your heart and your desire to serve. I hear your cries in the 
closet, I know the longing of your heart. Don't be moved by what you see 
outwardly, by unjust gains and unfair promotions. For true promotion comes 
from me and those things done in the dark will be revealed by my light. For 
I am taking note. Are not all your days written in my scroll? For I am the 
Alpha and the Omega. Not one thing you are going through has gone unoticed 
by me. For I am keeping count says the Lord. Be not burdened down by what 
you see. Be not burdened down by unjust rulers. Be not burdened down by 
those who would deceive and steal the harvest. For the cry of the harvesters
has reached my ears and nothing will leave my field without notice. For 
every sheaf is precious to me. I count them one by one. For I am watching 
over my harvest and a day will come when I will seperate the weeds from the 
wheat.

So take no thought for what you see. For I am not an unjust judge and the 
cry for justice has gone forth. Will not the judge of all the earth do what 
is right? So, be at peace my child.

For one day I will come and I will soothe those that have labored so hard 
and unceasingly, those who have labored  hard without demand. I will come 
with my balm and soothe their blistered hands and I will come and strengthen
their weary, aching backs and I will come and heal their tired swollen legs.
For my name is ointment poured forth. For I have healing in my wings.

For the cry of the harvesters has been heard and I will do what is just and 
right. And I look forward to the day when I will see you face to face and 
say to you, "Well done though good and faithful servant, come and enter into
my rest."
