Text: Eph. 2:4-8. God loved us when we were dead in sins, even when we were His enemies; He is rich in mercy. You may slip and fall, but God still loves you. Don’t ever waver from God’s love for you. God made us alive together, raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. His grace and kindness in providing salvation, resurrection, and our place in authority are eternal. He wants to show His kindness for eternity; His goodness stretches backward as well as forward. God extends His grace, but we have to receive it. We can’t boast about our faith or our salvation. Our fasting and confession on faith can become works. Recognize that all comes from God, and that He has something for you. God created you to do good works, but they are the results of your having received Him. In Gen. 2:1 God rested on the seventh day from all that He had created. He made man and female on the sixth day. (“Man” contained both male and female.) God’s last day of creation was man’s first day. Man started on God’s rest day. Salvation is like that. You start with and you rest in what God has finished, and then you work out the plans that God has invested in you. What God has finished, He’s not going to do anymore. He’s already answered your prayers and provided for what you need. God is the Creator. He is eternal. He is immutable. Our finite minds can’t comprehend an infinite God, but understand that your life is intricately planned. Look at creation. Look at how intricate your body is. Imagine how much design and planning God put into your days. II Tim. 1:9 It’s according to His purpose and grace which was given us before time began. Your salvation was before the world began. He knew all of your problems since time began and had an answer already prepared. He had a whole eternity to work out your problem. Pastor Dale tells about an experience of God’s prepared answer for him when he was in Washington, D. C. His purpose for you is being worked out in your life. Receive the grace of God. God is not caught by surprise at our sin. If we fail to see God’s plans, He has many back-up plans. His nature is unchangeable, and it’s love. Don’t fail to receive God’s grace! Pastor Dale tells about God’s working things out for his friend, Gene Olon, who was ministering in Romania. He also relates about God’s connection in Andorra and about another experience with Gene Olon, when Gene was beaten up in Romania and was missing. Your life and your days are not chance. You can miss the grace of God, but He knew you would sin. God designed you for victory. I Cor. 15:57 and II Cor. 2:14 tell us that God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. God knows, prepares, and provides for us.
There’s A Miracle Under Your Seat
Second Chances
Offering message: Heb. 7:8-10 The tithes belong to God. When we give, we are giving to the living God. Sermon message: John 21:1-6 After Jesus was crucified, Peter had left the ministry and had gone back to fishing, his pre-disciple work. Peter loved Jesus, but he didn’t really listen to what Jesus was saying about His imminent death and resurrection, nor did he understand it. Jesus had to rebuke him. He told Peter that Satan wanted to sift him like wheat. He warned him that he would deny Him three times. Peter bragged that he would die for Jesus. Peter looked at his role as one of protecting Jesus instead of doing what Jesus needed him to do in His final days and hours. Three times Peter made a public denial of Jesus, and after His resurrection He allowed him to give public expression of his love three times. Jesus knew Peter loved Him. Jesus is love, compassion, forgiveness, and restoration, and just as He took a broken man, Peter, and restored him to become a humble leader, so He can take you, even if you failed Him, and He will forgive and restore you. Jesus is greater! Matt. 16:21,22; Matt. 26:31-35; Luke 22:32-38; Matt. 26:41-54; Luke 22:56-62; John 21:7-17; Ps. 103:20 (Angels listen to the Word when you speak it.)
Prayer
Prayer is communion with God, a relationship with Him, and being mindful of His presence. In Eph. 6:10- tells us about the whole armor of God and that we are to pray always with all kinds of prayer and supplication. James 5:13-18 reveals how to pray effectively and how to pray for healing. Prayer can be unfruitful: praying according to your lusts, praying against God’s will, praying religious, mindless, repetitive prayers. Prayer is not rebuking the devil, because that’s taking authority over the enemy. Don’t disconnect from communion with God. We know we are to pray to God, the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ (John 16:23). You can talk to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit, but prayer is to God. How do you know if your prayer is effective? When you are in good communion with God. Adam and Eve had good communion with God before the Fall, and Enoch’s communion was so good, he was taken up. Luke 18:10-14 mentions the prayer of humility (knowing who you are with God and knowing who you are without Him) compared to the one who speaks the “prayer” of self-justification. Is. 56:7 tells about God’s saying that His house should be a house of prayer. The congregation spent time praying in the Spirit.
Steps in the Supernatural
Deut. 1:2-3 tells us that it took the Israelites 40 years to take an 11 year journey. Is the fulfillment of what God has told you stretched out? Genesis reveals how God operates: He spoke and His words created (Gen. 1). In Gen. 2:7, 19 God formed man and animals. It was a two-step process: 1- creating by the spoken Word and 2- forming the final product. What God has spoken to you has already been created. Then we wait for the formation. Ps. 139:16; Eph. 1:4; Ps. 139:13; Jer. 1:5 tells us that God knew, saw, formed, and chose us before the foundation of the world and before our birth. How does faith work? It works the same way: God spoke and created, and God formed what He told us He would do and what He provided for. Faith has those two steps: God speaks and when we line up with Him, we see the fulfillment of what He said. So what hinders and delays that fulfillment? As we see in Abram’s life, there is required integrity and obedience. It took 24 years for the manifestation of the word of God to Abram and Sarai to come. In Gen. 17:1 God told Abram to walk before Him blameless. But Abram didn’t. In what ways? 1) Incomplete obedience (Gen. 12:1-2). 2) Lack of truth and integrity (in the way he gave his wife into other men’s harems. 3) His trying by the works of the flesh to form the promises of God (Gen. 16; he created an Ishmael. Ishmaels are created whenever we do things by the flesh instead of by the Holy Spirit. 4) Abram operated in unbelief (Gen. 17:4-18; he laughed when he was told that he would be the father of many nations- his name changed to Abraham). It wasn’t until God had Abraham circumcised in flesh and in his heart that the fulfillment of Isaac could come. Col. 2:11, 12; James 3:2-4; Rom. 4:19-21. It was during the 3 months after the circumcision and name change that Abraham was a man of unwavering faith. Allow God to deal with the issues in your life. What has God destined for you? Be obedient (immediately), be truthful and full of integrity, allow God to cut off the fleshly things, and operate in faith, not unbelief.
A Man on the Wall
Ezek. 22:30 God sought for a man who would make a wall and stand in the gap, but He found no one. In Gen. 18:17 God asked, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” He didn’t ask if He should show him what He was doing, but whether He should hide it from him. The Lord did tell him, and Abraham stayed before the Lord (verse 22), and then he went near and asked God if He would spare the righteous (verse 23). He had intimacy with the Lord and fervency of heart as he negotiated for Lot’s family. Abraham was bold in front of God. We are righteous, and God is righteous. Just as Abraham had authority on earth because God gave it to men, so do we. Even with the righteous people, God called on His angels. Is. 59:15 In society he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Doing the right thing costs you. It takes intercession. Is. 59:16 God wondered that there was no intercessor. Prayer opens the door for His authority to move. Is. 59:17 He (Jesus) was clad with zeal. Jesus is our intercessor. When God couldn’t find a man as intercessor, He sent Jesus as our intercessor. Rom. 8:26-28 tells us that the Holy Spirit also is our intercessor. God tells us that we don’t know what to pray for as we ought, and we don’t know how to pray. Sometimes words aren’t enough. Verse 28 (all things work together for good) only works because of verse 27. If you just believe 28, you’ll have to believe that it’s God’s will for people to go to hell. When you pray, a lot of times it’s not intercession; it’s just you praying your own prayer concerns. When you intercede, you’ll be praying for countries, etc. Rom. 8:31-34 tells us that God is for us, and He freely gives us all things. Jesus Christ is our intercessor. Pray in the Holy Spirit. (Pastor Dale shares how praying in the Holy Spirit changed his plans for a month-long ministry trip in Europe and Russia.) Sometimes it hurts to pray in the Spirit, because it brings up emotions and things in your past that caused a lot of pain. Praying in the Spirit can allow God to sort it out and help you to be delivered from the hurt and the scars, so you can experience inner healing. Rom. 8:37-39 We are more than conquerors. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. What can separate you from God? Your past. If you don’t deal with your past, it will keep you out of the love of God. Let go of it. To be intimate with God is a one-on-one experience. Draw near to God and get alone with Him.
Building on a Firm Foundation
Offering message: Luke 6:47-49 tells us to come to Jesus, hear Him, and do what He says, and then our house will be built on the foundation of the rock. In Phil 4:15-19 Paul relates the relationship between sowing a gift to God’s work and submitting to do the Word of God with receiving the promise of God’s supply to the givers. Second Corinthians 9:6-11 again reinforces sowing and reaping and abundance. Sermon message: Matt. 7:24-27 Doing what Jesus says (saying in the Sermon on the Mount) is being like a wise man. Mark 4:24 Take heed what you hear; be careful what you listen to. Grow in God and endure sound doctrine. Bad things happen to everyone. Why do some fall? They are not established on the firm foundation. The Sermon on the Mount can be summarized as: walk in love and be a love-initiator. Luke 8:18 tells us to take heed to how we hear. Some people listen, but don’t hear. How we hear affects whether we get the right understanding. Hear how things are said. Pastor Dale shared two incidents in which people took what he said in different ways, and depending how the person took it, one was set free and one stayed in bondage. Heb. 4:2 says that the word preached to them and that they heard didn’t profit them. Why? They didn’t mix faith with the Word. In I Cor.3:1-3 Paul says that he couldn’t speak to the people as spiritual, because they couldn’t handle it. The people were too carnal. Carnality is envy (trying to be someone else, because the person doesn’t know who he/she is). Carnality is strife (having it your own way). So how do you get out of carnality? Repent! Carnal sins are the kinds of storms that will break you. How are you going to respond? Matt. 5:10-12 says that those who are persecuted for Jesus’ sake are blessed and should rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is their reward in heaven. Repent and rejoice!
Repentance Couples Moving in the Prophetic
Keith and Mary gave a word to the congregation (hurricane). Pastor Dale told about what Keith had said earlier about a church that was preaching that there is no hell, and in that congregation of 5,000 people, only three people had a Bible. Don’t leave the Word of God. The Word records His nature, His character, and His will for our lives. His Rhema Word is where He takes the Word and breathes life in it and applies it to your situation. It’s what you read in the Word (Logos) and what you experience (Rhema). Get into the Word and the Spirit of God. God saves the best for last. Mary gave a word to Pastor Dale and Teri and the church here. We are called to a missionary work in which whole groups will go. Get up and take what you get here. Keith shared about the hunger to know God, even when he was attending a famous Jewish designer’s party. The anointing in you is always reaching out to others. There’s always someone wanting Jesus in a crowd. The anointing is so powerful because God loves people. We’re living in the days of manifestation, and God has saved the best for last. God wants to hear your heart. The key is repentance (Acts 3:19 and 20), and it’s not a negative word, but it is healthy and clean. We must be able to say, “I’m sorry. Forgive me.” Repentance is a huge part of salvation. Repentance causes change and removes sin. Learn to adapt. Repentance always brings time of refreshing, and it sends Jesus. Saying you’re sorry helps you become more tender. Keith and Mary prayed for and spoke over couples wanting to minister together prophetically. Keith encouraged the congregation that others are watching us, regardless of their outward attitude towards us. Seasoned people need to support today’s generation.
Enlarging and Strengthening in a Time of Shaking
Even in times of shaking, whether earthquakes and hurricanes in the natural or things in the spiritual realm, God’s grace protects us, and even then He expects us to keep our vision. God’s kingdom is drawing near. There may be a time when the government won’t have the money to help all those people on welfare. What the government can’t do, the church can do, and it needs to do so much more. Is. 54:1-2 says it is time to enlarge the place of your tent. Make is bigger, and don’t spare or slack off. Strengthen what you have. Pray and God will show you what to do. To people in the dark, too much light blinds them. Stand in the gap for the lost and for your family. Praise God; it stops the devil. Everything is in the process of change. We have the power of God in us. Draw the lost in by the love of God. There are “King Cyruses” for your project, and where God guides, He provides. Praise God. Throughout the service, Mary spoke prophetically to various people. Keith and Mary ministered in prayer to people in ministry and business.
Yes, Lord
Matt. 9:27-29 is the account of Jesus’ healing two blind men. They cried out for mercy. He asked them if they thought He was able to heal them. They said, “Yes, Lord.” God will speak to you if you will open yourself up to Him and to His Word. His Word changes lives and is the mouth of God. Operate in mercy. God gave us mercy. God loves people. Cry out for mercy- mercy for you, your family, the government. There is a lot of unbelief in the church. Do you believe that God is able to … ? You need a “yes” in your health, finances, job. God is releasing a heavenly “yes”. Everything that has and will happen to us has already passed through the Father’s hand. Jesus said that it would be done to the blind men according to their faith, or according to their “yes”. Don’t whine. “Shut up, go to your room, get it together, and then talk to the Father.” Pray for a “yes” on the inside of you. You were born for greatness. God has a door open for you. [Keith prayed for and laid hands on people for healing and instructed them to ask God to tell them what they needed to change in their habits, their eating, etc. and then to do it.]
Prepare an Ark and Pray for Your Family
What is God saying for the church? He is releasing a fragrance on the church so that others will want to be around us, a fragrance of love for people. This year is the beginning of a new decade, which will be better than the last. This is an exciting time. If you are waiting for something in the future, you won’t be responsible for the present. God is waiting on us. He loves us and wants to show us the many facets of Himself. God is releasing revelation for you to come into the will of God for your money, your ministry, your family, etc. Heb. 11:7 Noah was divinely warned of things not seen and was moved with godly fear to prepare an ark for the saving of his household. God can speak to you in different ways, such as what’s on a piece of someone’s clothing or on a billboard. (Keith told about the words “Last Call” on a biker’s jacket.) God is going to raise us up to show how much He loves us, like a proud daddy with his baby. To save this generation, the ones who are speaking into their lives must change. There is a shift in the church. God wants to move us over into the unseen (eternal) realm. People are looking for the supernatural. God is working behind the scenes. Be glorious, not goofy. As Noah prepared an ark for the saving of his family, you need to pray for your family. Prepare an ark through mercy and love for them. God came to us with a hand, not a pointed finger. Love wins out. Parents, don’t ever close the door on your children. Rejoice and pray for your family. A righteous wife sanctifies the family. Keith also had words of encouragement for Pastor Vitali and Natasha and for The New Jerusalem.
Don’t Limit What the Spirit of God Can Do Through You
The American culture labels people by their faults, allowing Satan to bring condemnation on them. We need to stop this, so people can find out who they are in Christ and where their lives are going. Don’t compromise, living by the flesh or by settling for less . You need to spend time with the Spirit of God in order to change your life and the lives of others. Jesus needed the Spirit of God; the disciples needed Him, and we need Him so we can go beyond what the disciples did in the book of Acts. There is no maximum to the Spirit of God. DON’T BACK DOWN! DON’T LIMIT WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAN DO! Chester tells about Dominic Russo’s vision to reach Honduras in a week. (It was done in a day in 2013!). Run toward your vision with all that you have. Shoot high! Leave the past and the cares and the people behind who will hinder you. Spend time with the Spirit of God, because He is your source of power and revelation. You are called to reach people who will go to hell, otherwise. Chester told of a dead man who was raised to life on one of his Amazon (amazing!) trips.
The Seer Anointing
If you can be a worshiper, you can have anything. Worship is the language of all mankind and is collective expression in God’s direction. We are created to worship Him. Expression is uncontrollable love unrestrained. Learn to be a worshiper. This is the day of the Lord, not the day of the preacher. When you are a Christian, you are living in the kingdom, and there is no lack. You are a king living in the kingdom, and we are family. Depression lasts as long as you let it. The older people must stand as mothers and fathers for this generation. Prisons are full of men who didn’t have fathers. The young ones will have God’s ability. We are the light of the world. People want to know Jesus. Jesus went to where the sinners were. Be in this world, but don’t be of it. Let your light shine and get the heartbeat of this generation to be affective. People are crying out for the love of God. They want to worship and want to be loved, but they never heard the real Jesus. Keith told of being in Singapore and about people with tatooed and pierced bodies lying before God in an altar call. This generation will go out on the streets to minister. God said that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh and that the sons and daughters would prophesy. The word for this generation is the revelation of seeing. Rev. 4:1 says that he (John) looked and a door opened in heaven, and God said He would show him things to come. God has the answer for every situation. Speak and send out the Word through your mouthpiece. God has a word for you for everything you’re going through, and everything has already gone through the Father’s hand. You’re in the hands of the God who stilled the waters. He’s setting up people to help you. He has everything under control. Enjoy Jesus. He loves you, and He’s a lot of fun. God can turn things around in 24 hours, like in the book of Samuel, when the Jews went from starvation and cannibalism to abundance in one day. God is doing things now. Turn your looking into SEEING. This is a SEEING generation with a seeing anointing. We need to see some things about our money, our relationships, our jobs, our ministries, our future, and about the Word of God. Many of Jesus’ followers were lookers, not seers. They didn’t see His face. See the lost through the eyes of Jesus. Keith tells about a beggar boy in Paris and how he ministered to him by the Spirit of God telling him to give him a new cup filled with Euros and to tell him that Jesus cares for him. The anointing and and love of Jesus in us reaches out to others. We need to know what and how to do things to be successful without wasting time and money. An anointing on the congregation’s eyes was released for each person to be a seer. This anointing is for others. We often ask, “Why can’t that person see what they’re doing?” People don’t want to think for themselves. The direction of this nation is to not think for themselves, but to just expect what they need. This night is the last night we will look. We are seers.
Pray Prayer Night
Pastor Dale and others led the service in prayer for our president, for CWI events and outreaches, for ministers and missionaries associated with CWI, and for the body of believers at CWI Lancaster.
The Two Hands of Victory
Offering message: Judges 6:6 Israel cried out to God in a time of need and revival came through Gideon. Sometimes finances cause you to cry out to God. Sermon notes: (Pastor Vitali preached in the Slavic language, and it was translated.) Encouragement: God is not finished with America. America will again be an example of faith. I John 5:4, Whatever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world- our faith. The one who overcomes the world is the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. Look at things with the eyes of Jesus: He reigns absolutely. We have faith to overcome the sinful system. Don’t be silent, but speak of the Lord. Ex. 17:8-14 tells of Moses needing the support of Aaron and Hur to win the battle. When you face opposition, you should be strong in the Lord, stand firm, and overcome. The victorious cross of Jesus Christ is the nucleus around which our lives revolve. Transform the victory of God into your daily walk. Everyday when the problems come, you must do something in the Spirit. If you’re tired of believing, the devil has deceived you because you weren’t really believing. Be renewed in the revelation of Christ as the living God, your Savior, your Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus gave you the victory. If you make mistakes and fall, don’t ignore them. Find honor, strength, and power in your life to resolve them. See yourself above the problems and hold up your hands. The first hand of victory is to speak and confess victory. The second hand that supports victory is a clean, pure life. When you sin, you lose power. God gives restoration through the blood of Jesus. Confession and a decision of a pure life establish God’s victory. That problem that is raging against you now, hear God say that He will remove even the memory of it.
Building on a Firm Foundation: Acting on the Word of God
Offering message: Poor economic conditions creates a cry in the hearts of the people. Cry out to save this nation and to bring deliverance. Sermon message: Matt. 7:24-28 tells us that: both men heard the Word of God from Jesus, both were building something, and both had the storms come. What you do determines who you are rather than what happens to you. Eph. 6 says to stand and that means, don’t back off, regardless of the time it takes. Faith without corresponding actions (works) is dead (James 2:17). Put your faith in the Lord and act on the Word by confessing and believing the Lordship of Jesus Christ and His resurrection. YOU CAN WALK ON THE PROMISE WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE. SOMETIMES THE POVERTY OF SPIRIT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE AWAY OUR STRENGTH IN OURSELVES, SO WE WILL DEPEND ON THE LORD.
Now We Have Everything We Need for Life
II Peter 1:3 God’s power has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. We have everything we need for life now. Heb. 11:32-34 tells us about people from the Old Testament who received by promise, because Jesus’ blood hadn’t been shed at that time. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we have His power now- power to defeat our enemies, such as debt and disease, and to cast them out. We have absolute victory through His death and resurrection. We have daily victories over our flesh and circumstances. Judges 6:11-15 is the account of Gideon. The Angel of the Lord was there (verse 12), but he didn’t see him. God always shows up before we think He is there. In verse 13 Gideon questions God: Why is all this happening? Where are all Your miracles? When will we see miracles? When we believe and say that our God is a God of miracles. There are miracles. Pastor Vitali shares a healing miracle and a debt-forgiveness miracle. Gideon questioned what many Christians question: How can I _____? We don’t know what’s in us, because we don’t see ourselves as God does. Vitali tells of a trainer working with a girl on pole-vaulting. The trainer knew she could do it, even when she kept failing. After much encouragement and repeated tries, she got over the bar. God tells us that we can do what we need to do. He knows when things are bad, but He also knows we can get through it, because we have everything we need for life and godliness.
How Do You Cast Your Cares
After a time of praise and worship through songs and testimonies, Pastor Dale taught on Phil. 4:6. Be careful for nothing. That’s a command, not a suggestion, and since God told us to do it, it’s possible to do. Grab peace, and don’t fret or be anxious about anything. It doesn’t mean you don’t care because you aren’t worrying. Sympathy identifies with a person, but compassion meets that person’s needs. Even if you are addicted to and trained in worrying, it is possible to stop it. So what do you do? In prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. You can’t shout and doubt, and you can’t worry with thanksgiving. Praise is a choice. In everything give thanks and praise God. Matt. 5:11 tells us that even in persecution for Christ’s sake, you can rejoice and be exceedingly glad. Praising the Lord isn’t a feeling. It’s like priming a pump. Unless you first pour some water in, no more will come up, but as soon as you do, you will have great amounts of water. It’s the same way with praise: you have to pour some out first, and then your emotions will follow your praise. Luke says to leap for joy, not because you have it, but because you’re leaping to get it, just like holding a treat up for a dog to jump to get. Shout! Rejoice in the Lord (Phil. 3:1; Phil. 4:4). God’s promise to meet your needs is a promise you will always have needs. Rejoice! If you are worrying, you are not rejoicing.
Third Day Dreams From the Pit to the Prison to the Palace
Offering message: 2 Kings 4:8 and 2 Kings 8:1 tell of Elisha’s relationship as a prophet to the Shunammite woman. The woman got to know Elisha more and more and gave to Elisha; so as we get to know God more and more, and we give to Him, He has already arranged blessings for us in protection, provision, and healing. Sermon message: Art Remington shares of multiple examples of third day breakthroughs in the Bible. Joseph went from the pit due to his brothers’ betrayal. Pits build you up in patience and perseverance. From the pit Joseph went to the prison. It’s in the prison that you impart to others what you got in the pit. Finally, he went to the palace, where he received his robe, ring, necklace, and chariot. Don’t forget those who were around you in the pit and the prison, because they need you, and they need your and their deliverer. Praise God- in the pit, in the prison, and in the palace. Let the Spirit of God fall on your situation. Keep praising Him!
Prayer Praying in Tongues
Prayer is work, but Isaiah 28:11 and 12 tell us that our prayer language is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest. The problem is further in the verse where it says, “yet they would not hear”. Don’t let prayer wear you out. It should energize you. Speaking in tongues builds you up and gives you rest. Like a dynamo, it produces more energy and strengthens you. John 16:24 says for us to ask, and we will receive, and then our joy will be full. Deepest joy can sustain the heaviest burden. Leave the prayer closet with joy. Ask for a fresh infilling of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the true intercessor. You may feel burdened in prayer and heaviness in the Spirit. Don’t confuse it with depression. It’s a burden that you need to press through. Rejoice and carry it to the birth. When you pray in the Spirit, a person’s face may come up. Stop and pray for that person. [The congregation spent time praying in tongues.]
Assignments Revealed For Increase
A Word was presented for the Church. Offering message: Mal. 3:10-12 tells us that God rebukes the devourer for our sakes when we bring in the tithes. It also says that all nations (peoples) shall call us blessed. Ps. 115:14-15 gives the truth that God will increase us more and more, us and our children. A word was delivered for two young men in the congregation. Sermon message: God has given us special assignments. We have favor and abilities no one else has, and this is the day for us to reap the harvest. Ps. 67:1-7 God wants His way known here. We need to be worshipers and praisers outside of the church service, too. Then the earth will yield increase. I Thess. 3:11-12 The Lord will make us increase and abound in love to one another and to all men. We are to let our fruit show outside the church building, so that He may establish our hearts blameless in holiness. We are to love in deed and in truth or in practice and sincerity (John 3:18). We are to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, consider one another to stir up love and good works, and exhort one another as the Day approaches (Heb. 10:23-25). We need to seek God as to how provoke one another in love. We need new life in this body. Jesus taught, preached, and healed by going where the people were (Matt. 9:32-38). Get into the center of activity of the people of this generation. The revival in us must go out from here. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Luke 10:1-2 and John 4:34-38). Our assignment is to pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the harvest. We must step into the lives of people who need help. Win people to Jesus! I Cor. 3:6-8 God gives the increase to our labor. We’re in this together. We receive our reward according to our labor. Luke 14:12-24 relates about the banquet prepared for the poor, lame, maimed, and blind. Rise into action! Invite those who need to hear the Word to church. Invite them to your house for a meal. We are the harvesters of this generation. Take your assignment to this generation.
