unripe berries

The humble sweetness of desire

Those who seek Me but find and taste unripe berries in the church then are misled and think all berries are sour. They do not want to be sour like them. Unripe berries are also infertile. They were harvested before they were ready and cannot bear more fruit from Me. Do not harvest a berry before it is fully ripe, eager to leave the old branch, happy to be falling into the unknown of My Hand, filled only with humble sweetness of surrender and desire for Me. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Jeremiah 29:13 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14  I will be found by you, declares the LORD. . .

Unripe Berries

To be mindful of Me means to fill your being with only one desire . . . Me. Those who do not really want to be set free from their chains are not mindful of Me. As soon as their suffering eases a little they fill their desires with interests, pleasures, connections, and plans of their old life that was without Me. Do not force them to drop all and follow Me. They are unripe berries. Unripe berries do not fall easily into the picker’s hand. They still cling to the branch of their old life. Ripe berries are happy to release that branch and fall into My Hand. Unripe berries have a sour taste to all who desire to eat of Me. Mark 2:22 No one puts new wine into old wine skins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wine skins. Mark 8:35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.  John 12:25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

Harvesting Berries

Berries which are ripe easily let go of the old branches they cling to. The slightest breeze from My Spirit will set them free. The unripe berries are harder to pull off their branches. Do not force an unripe berry to release that to which it is attached. If you do, it’s taste will be sour and it will not fully ripen. I Am the Lord of the harvest. I will ripen the berries in My perfect timing. Be patient. Follow My Voice. Trust Me. Mark 2:22 No one puts new wine into old wine skins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wine skins.” Mark 8:35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. John 12:25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
