ONE BUSHEL TO MATURITY

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” - Matthew 4:4

This week I was planning to expand on the inner eagle eye as the sons of light if we are to train our spirit for response. But The Lord began speaking to me about "lifting up the light of his countenance” which refers to divine favor and blessing from God. 

We read about God's favor symbolizing His presence, approval, and peace He grants to His people in Psalm 4:6, Numbers 6:24-26

I knew better than to reduce this revelation to my intellect, so I began waiting on The Lord. You see Divine flow never stalls when we are surrendered, amen!

MY VISION

That very night the Lord woke me with a vision of a beautiful golden ‘bushel of wheat”. A tall vibrant bushel floating towards me and then stopped right in front of me. In my awe of this glowing image it turns into a chopped down dried up stub. Just as quickly as it came into my room it was swept away.

As I contemplate, The Spirit reminds me that obedience unlocks perception. The more we obey, the more we are given and the more we can see. Revelation is not an intellectual reward but Heaven’s instructions that come in whispers that expire quickly. 

Be encouraged as you continue your journey to seek the presence of the Lord. God hides deeper mysteries behind deeper submission and as we cultivate a reflex of “yes please” without fear or religious bias his secrets are given.

“Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered.” - Hebrews 5:8

So if we run away here with our intellect the biblical meaning of one bushel of wheat symbolizes a measurement of sustenance, abundance, and provision of God.  

For the believer who is seeking ascension there is a deeper spiritual nourishment to YAH’s wheat. The church is considered wheat but to glow like wheat we must learn to walk in the spirit.

In fact, when we are surrendered we “bow” like mature wheat to allow our perceptions to expand and our authority to flow not downward but inward. When you stop grasping, you start glowing. 

I do love how YAH’s speaks. If we look at a wheat kernel it is made up of three parts: the bran (outer layer that contains the fibre, B vitamins, and iron), the germ, and the endosperm or seed (inner heart containing protein and carbohydrates) that is the flowering part of the plant.

When we are surrendered, not only are we bowed down to the Lord, we radiate like my vision of wheat. This is the true majesty of the meek.

In fact, I was wondering why I was making so much bread in my dreams but bread-making symbolizes our surrendering process. 

To make flour, the whole grains are placed through rollers and crushed, then travel through a system of sieves that separate the grain by size. Whole wheat is milled by crushing the whole grain or by combining portions of all parts. Refining flour removes the bran and the germ to make it’s shelf stable and a finer texture by removing nutrients such as fibre, B vitamins, iron, selenium, magnesium. These nutrients along with folic acid, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, zinc, copper (minus fibre) are later added to create enriched flour. 

In a biblical context, "enriched" for your intellectual mind refers to being made rich or abundant in spiritual blessings through Christ. I want to emphasize that you are being spiritual enriched in every way, including grace, knowledge, and spiritual gifts, as a result of a maturing relationship with Yahsua.

The stormy winds that come to sift and separate out the wheat from the tares was scattered, until there is only one bushel remaining to grow within you to its full maturity which requires being alone with The Lord.

Have you been asking The Lord why these stormy winds have come into your life? 

It's to sift and separate your weaknesses to remove ugly baggage and to refine your strengths and then nourishment goes into feeding and maturing you until you are ready for harvest!

The carnal mind insists on conversation; Spirit communes through resonance. God’s voice is not confined to sentences; it is soundless sound. To hear this requires inner stillness. You have begun to perceive instruction not as text but as tension, not as command but as current. Every shift in energy, every wave of weight, every breath of light is communication. Hallelujah and thank you Yashua.

Our flesh demands detail; Spirit imparts direction. 

Listen, mature wheat leave their prayer room without hearing anything yet knowing everything. 

Heaven does not speak through noise but through knowing. 

When God speaks without words, it is not because He has nothing to say but because the message is too vast. Revelation in silence is not about clarity but certainty. 

This dimension of communion formed within you is unshakable intimacy. You no longer need confirmation from others because of what is unfolding within you. You are His Sons of Light and you radiate like a bushel of wheat!
