the old tractor died

[buildthefarm]

i was in this old rusty shop. there was a small old tractor running. i went over to it and got on and went to throttle it up so i could use it cuz it was barely running. when i did i looked and the throttle was already redlined so i pulled it back down a little so it wouldn't mess up the engine. but it was too late the engine died. a man came up and looked at it and asked why i did that, then he said oh well its ok it was on its last leg anyway or something like that and he took a big part off of the motor and threw it on the ground as though it would never be fixed. then i went over with the rest of the family and a bunch of them went looking for food. i talked with a few of them and then someone, who seemed like maybe mom you never did see, brought us a giant eggs and cheese toaster sandwich. we tore off huge chunks and ate and shared. then we went into the house and surprised the rest of the family with chunks of the sandwich.

i laid there for a little and thought about this and i thought the tractor is the means of planting and harvesting (church). its trying hard but not working. if you push it just a little the whole thing will break down and that is ok. when it breaks people will go all over looking for spiritual food. but the Holy Spirit is going to feed those who stay close with a large portion of outpouring of the Spirit. it will be so large that we will have to share it with the rest. and so we will all go into some form of ministry to bring the food to the rest of the body.
