THE HARVEST HAS BEGUN!
By

Brothers and Sisters the season we have been awaiting has
arrived. THRUST IN YOUR SICKLE! Harvest time of the world is finally here.
Last evening, Friday July 8th, 2016, I went to
bed and was thinking about several times in the past when God had spoken
significant words to me during the night, words that often dealt with major
things that God was doing or was soon bringing about in the world. As I laid
down I asked the Father if he had something for me. There was only peaceful
silence.
The next morning, July 9th, 2016, was one of our
weekly shopping days when Barbara and I get up early to arrive at Walmart usually
before 6am. Afterward, as usual, we went to several other places as they opened
for business.
Throughout this shopping morning routine, there was still
only peaceful silence from God. However, after all was done and we were on our
way home, it happened. Without warning God spoke four words that hit me like a
bolt of spiritual lightning. I believe for me and many others life has changed
in a moment. A fresh burst of living hope and faith exploded in my heart. God
filled my spirit with great excitement. In a sudden but calm voice that almost jolted
me out of my seat belt God speaking with great authority announced, “THE
HARVEST HAS BEGUN!”
It was so good that He had waited until after the routine
things of the morning were done. I could not have slept last night nor could I
have had presence of mind enough to do the business at hand if He had spoken
earlier. I am again consumed with the reality of the magnitude of what is
happening in our world now, today.
The shaking of this world has impacted the hearts of many
people to the point that they are desperate to find something of goodness,
something pure, and something of real love in their lives. This is another
great season of transition, and it will not soon let up. The terrible events of
evil exploding into the world will continue to break the hearts of more and
more people. No earthly solution or solace will be found. Many will now turn to
God and confess their need, crying out to God for forgiveness and cleansing for
themselves and their families.
THRUST IN YOUR GOD-GIVEN HARVESTING TOOLS.
It is Christ in His people and the holy angels who
harvest the earth. Whatever harvest tool that God has made available to you,
take a firm hold of it and take it to the tent or the empty store front or to
the market place in your area or wherever the Spirit leads and thrust in the sickle.
(Mark 4:26-29) (Rev 14:14-15). If you have a media outlet or can obtain one of
any kind, now is the time to put it to work in the harvest. Let your light
shine into the darkness around you.
Tell again the old old story of JESUS and His LOVE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpfsZZ9X5n8 - (Hymn) God is now softening
hearts preparing multitudes to turn to Jesus with their whole hearts.
Hundreds of thousands are coming, driven from their past
lives by the painful turbulence of crumbling society at the hand of evil men
gone mad with the blood lust of the devouring dragon spirits that have been
loosed by the bad choices of mankind. The anti-Christ devil’s attempt is to devour
the birth or coming forth of Christ Jesus as LORD and KING of the kingdom of
God on earth as it is in heaven. (Rev 12:1-5).
AWAKENING TO SEE THE LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS
Many people are awakening to see the futility and darkness
of the deceived lifestyle they have lived, seeking their own pleasure and
ignoring the reality of God in Christ Jesus coming forth in His people on
earth. The arising of the opposing enemy of God has been allowed to deceive,
confuse, and torment the people of the world through the bad decision of the
people, decisions to follow their own minds and the ways of darkness. The
people have been led to believe that the darkness is light and that the true
light of God is darkness.
THE DRAWING OF THE LIGHT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY
OF LIFE IN GOD WILL BE IRRESISTIBLE TO THE DESPERATE SOULS WHO ARE SEARCHING
FOR STABILITY AND REST FOR THEIR TROUBLED SOULS.
Harvest time is a culmination of planted seeds of both
good and bad coming into maturity each bearing its own fruit. The fullness of
the growth cycle for both the things of God and the things of evil is at hand.
The fruit of the love of God is coming forth in maturity. In like manner the
fruit of evil hatred and violent darkness is coming to full maturity.
Mat 13:30: “Let both grow together until
the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First
gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the
wheat into my barn.”
The wheat and the tares grew together and looked much
alike until harvest time came when the tares are gathered and burned and the
good grain is gathered in full maturity to the fullness of the purposes of God.
All things still work together for good for those who love God and are called
according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28) What the devil means for destruction, God
will use for good.
At harvest time people traditionally leave their normal work
and go into the harvest fields. As we receive the joy and excitement of the
harvest, it is easy to leave our past life and fully engage in the harvest
time. In a practical sense vacations and normal life events are being canceled
in favor of participating in the harvest. Many pleasure-seeking and self-serving
or self-improvement activities that seemed very good and important to us will
become trivial and give way for the joy of the presence of God working in and
through us in this the time of harvest.
Hardships and desperate times causing personal material
loss will be more than just survived as the presence of the joy of the Lord
fills our hearts and lives. Soon we find that we are no longer living for
ourselves but are fully living for the Lord God Almighty. We are consumed in
the love and powerful works of God harvesting the world. Truly the joy of the
Lord is our strength to not just endure but to prosper in true spiritual life in
and with God. Yes, we are becoming mature Sons of God doing the business of God
on earth.
FINDING STABILITY AND INNER PEACE
The world and man-focused religion will offer many
solutions in seeking unity and cooperation among the diverse populations of
darkness and light. However, nothing the world or man-made religion can offer
will bring real solutions of solace or peace to the people. On the contrary,
the humanistic solutions will only be traps to take people further into bondage
of controlled life under oppressive governmental rule of darkness.
Stability and inner peace can only be found in the Spirit
realm of God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Yielding our lives into the
hand of God to be transported from the ways of the darkness into the marvelous
light of the love, power, and wisdom of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in
heaven. (John 14:27) (John 16:33).
Only as we yield to God and are transitioned into the
supernatural kingdom of God reality will the provisions of Spirit God be fully
joined with us. All that our purified heart desires will be fulfilled as we
live seated with Christ at the right hand of the throne of God and yet in this
world at the same time, in this world with Christ in us bringing forth the life
of Christ from the throne of God to earth in the righteousness, peace, and joy
of the kingdom of God reality.
The oppressive anti-Christ governments and foolish
man-made religions seeking to establish the kingdom of man ruling over the
entire world will be dissolved by the fire of the kingdom of God coming forth
in the people of God on earth. All the love and power of Almighty God in heaven
is poised and ready to be released by a true holy people who become as one with
Christ, a world of kings and priest sons of God releasing heaven on earth with
its perfect peace and goodwill toward mankind.
The Spirit is now calling for multitudes of young people
and white-headed wise people to lose their old lives and receive the fresh
resurrected life of God in Christ Jesus to release the myriads of holy angels
to complete the harvest of the world and establish the mountain of God above
all the mountains of earth. (Isaiah 2:2) And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
THE HARVEST HAS BEGUN!
