2012 Is Harvest Time!
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
John 4:35-38
1. You will eat and get full during the harvest – there is plenty of resource: people, technology, capital.
2. You will offend religious spirits and traditions – your harvest gathering will get in the way of the “because we’ve always done it that ways…”
3. Leaders and disciples will be attacked by traditions of men and old patterns – arrows will be thrown at sent leaders and their followers; carry your sword while you work the harvest fields
4. You will need to move in new, unusual, and sometimes uncomfortable ways that challenge the status quo.
5. You will walk in higher levels of authority – people may question you, but they will not hinder you in Jesus name!
6. You will walk in long cycles of clock time during harvest – long days and nights
7. You Will Need Balance To Endure The Harvest: Healthy Eating, Exercise, Family Relationships, Time Management.
8. You will need to be like the men of Issachar and Know the Times and Seasons.
