100 FOLD BLESSING

Branches are breaking under the blessings being poured out on Country Haven Academy in 2004. This amazing answer to prayer prompts one to think seriously about missed opportunities in asking for more blessings.

While prayer walking  Country Haven Academy early one spring morning, a student’s mother was thanking God for the blessings of Christian education for her 18 year old son.  She saw so many wonderful changes in her son. He  was so happy and looked so strong from the daily work program. He sang so heartily in the choir. She asked God to send extra angels, helping the students and faculty with any and every challenge. Thinking of the sacrifices involved on the part of staff she thought of the 100 fold promise.

  Mathew 19:29   And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.   While she walked through the school orchard she asked God to pour out the blessing making the trees produce 100 times more than ever before.

She asked  for the grapes that had been afflicted with blight, to recover and produce 100 fold more. A blessing also was asked on the garden plot. Nothing had as yet been planted in the garden. She prayed for the greenhouses and their production.

There is so much fruit that limbs are cracking under the load. Staff who had been with the school for decades stated the trees had never been so heavily loaded that they could remember.

Huge rich flavored peaches are the most amazing the school has ever seen.  Two peaches weigh a pound. This is the average not the exception. Two and one half peaches fill a quart jar for canning. The school normally preserves in jars all the fruit it grows. Students are working hard to can much fruit. Still there is so much that they need to sell the excess before the fruit falls. Besides peaches there was an abundance of apricots, plums, and grapes. The school garden also had a bumper crop.

We have a great big wonderful God.  Wouldn’t it be fun to ask 100 fold blessings on missionaries, teachers, and pastors, and medical evangelists. ?

He longs to have you expect great things from Him. He longs to give you understanding in temporal as well as in spiritual matters. {COL 146.4}

   Over 5,000 pounds of organically grown huge, perfect, and unusually delicious peaches have been picked from the trees while other growers around have little to no fruit due to spring frost. Still more are being harvested as the miracle unfolds. The apple trees are so heavily packed the branches are bending under the load. In a couple months that harvest  will reveal the 100 fold blessing also. The greenhouses have already done more business than ever in the past. The orders had a tremendous increase over past years.

 

  Though organically grown, out of over 600 quarts canned at the school and 100 quarts by report of consumers, no insects are found inside the peaches, the fruit is of such healthy perfect condition. God has made a generous miracle. Consumers report there has never been such delicious peaches ever tasted. It reminds us of the grape juice Jesus made out of water for the wedding at Cana, because no special care was given the orchard. God has opened the windows of heaven.

 

   There is more to the story. The fruit was ripening too fast for the hands available to harvest and care for it all. The summer crew of students had gone home for a week break before school begins August 9. People came from Walla Walla remarking how unusual that Country Haven had peaches. They could not find any other grower who had peaches.

   Prayers again went up to heaven for God to send cloud cover while help arrived to harvest the fruit. The heat  put the peaches at risk of loss. The clouds rolled in quickly and the temperatures dropped at least 25 degrees. A thunder storm brought cold heavy rains. The fruit firmed up for travel. The peaches traveling  two hours into Spokane in a non air-conditioned car needed a special cloud cover. God provided 73 degrees with cool cloud cover.  What a blessed change from the 96-103 degrees experienced the day before!

Isaiah 25:4 & 5  “ “For thou hast been a strength …a shadow from the heat…with the shadow of a cloud.”

 

   Apples and grapes  will be ready in September and October. Again, there is far more than Country Haven Academy can harvest for their own use. These trees and vines also are stretching under the 100 fold blessing. The taste of this blessing is an encouragement for the souls of all who love to see God answer prayers.

   God is truly blessing the efforts to provide premium quality Christian Education on this campus.

 

  Psalms 34:8   O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.  ( I personally tasted these peaches and picked 700 pounds. God is Good. He does every thing in a very generous way! Having grown up on a fruit farm in Oregon, I have tasted many good peaches but these far out did them all. In all that I tasted of the tree ripened fruit, there was a richer color and taste than any I have tasted in my life.)

  34:9   O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him. 

  34:10   The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
