                         The Time is Now

Many are saying, "the time is coming" or "there will be a time" but 
the time is now! The Lord is saying the time you have watched and 
waited for is here now. Did I not say do not look to the fields and 
say yet are four months to harvest, for I say to you that the fields 
are white unto harvest now. Now is the day of salvation, now is the 
time to stand and reap My harvest.

Now is the time to put in the sickle, now is the time to compel them 
to come in. For the hearts are prepared, the time is short and the 
time is now. Do not keep looking for future events, reap now. The fruit 
is ripe now, and what is not harvested will fall aside and be no more. 
Now is the time. Step out now. Listen to Me and I will direct you. I 
have poured my Word into you for this hour. I have prepared you for 
this hour. Now is the time, walk in the light while it is called today. 
For tomorrow will be too late. Come forth now, bring my children in 
now. My house must be filled, and to be filled the harvest must be 
brought in. Do not let them perish, I hear their cries for help, I am 
sending you out now to answer them. 

No more "the time is coming" for the time is now, says the Lord.
