                              My Harvest

I am gathering the lost unto Myself, and I am inviting you to participate
with Me in this.  I am going to release greater measures of My glory,
greater measures of My love and greater measures of My healing power to
accomplish this.  I am going to release signs and wonders designed to win
the lost, to convert the unsaved through a demonstration of My reality.
I intend to bring solutions to their seemingly irresolvable problems, so
that they can know that I love them and that I am able to help them.  I want
to win the lost.

Right now I am raising up the workers that I intend to send to into My
fields to gather My harvest.  I am training them and causing them to grow
in faith, that they will be able do My mighty works with Me.  I am bringing
a new dimension of My power and My anointing into My church right now.  But
the power I am releasing is not intended to stay in the church and to operate
there exclusively.  No! It is designed to go out into the fields of the
harvest, where the lost are ripe and ready to be gathered to Me.

When I walked this earth, I did not speak words of judgment and condemnation
to sinners to alienate them from My kingdom.  No, I went to the places
where they were and I sought them out and I even ate with them. I became
known as a "friend of publicans and sinners."  The Pharisees used that
against Me to try and keep men from coming to Me.  They heaped judgment and
condemnation on the publicans, trying to push away the very ones who My
Father was bringing to Me.

Precious one, I have not called you to hate the sinner. I have only called
you to hate the power of sin, and to want to snatch the lost from the
oppression of the enemy.  I want you to love the lost as much as I do.

Hate and condemnation will not win the lost.  Fancy words and intellectual
arguments will not will them.  What they need is a demonstration of My love
and of My reality.  I want to show them My power and demonstrate My
readiness to solve the problems that beset them.  I want to invite them
to turn to Me.  That is why I am preparing and raising up laborers who
I am going to send out of the churches to the places where the lost are.
I am not sending them with only persuasive words, but also with a practical
demonstration of My power and of My reality.

Today I am asking My workers to do the same things today that I told My
told disciples to do when I sent them out two by two to the places I was
about to visit*.  It is the same thing I commanded in the great commission**.
I want the workers in My harvest to go where I send them, instead of staying
safely in the confines of their church buildings. I want them to declare My
kingdom and I want them to demonstrate the reality of that kingdom by
healing the sick and by casting out demons.  I want them to declare the
good news and to make disciples of all men. I want to win the lost to Myself
and I want to bring many into My kingdom.

I am not commissioning a "select few" for this task. I need many laborers
for My harvest.  I am looking for any worker who is willing. I will teach
and empower those with a willing heart. Are you willing?  Will you make My
priority your priority?  Will you come glean in My harvest field?  I need
workers to gather in the harvest, for it is ripe and ready.  I will fully
equip each worker that I send out, I will anoint and empower them, and My
Spirit will go with them.

What about you? Are you willing to gather in My harvest?
