The Harvest Is Not Just Ripe, It's Desperate

THE HARVEST IS NOT JUST RIPE, IT'S DESPERATE

A NEW “SALVATION” ARMY MOBILISING FOR ABUNDANT HARVEST
There’s a company arising that have been forged through the fire, and are burning for revival and souls, even at great cost. This remnant SALVATION “army” of believers is arising across the nations and burning with a resolute courage that disrupts complacency and interrupts “established normals”. It will be said in this season that what the devil meant for harm, God intended for good! From the pressures and chaos of this season will arise a remnant, ready for “the saving of many lives”. The harvest will be won through His glory, and a “SALVATION” new-breed army of harvester that walk in radical faith and fire are arising.

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20

THE HARVEST IS NOT JUST RIPE, IT’S DESPERATE!
The Lord is stirring the hearts of many with the urgency to preach the simple gospel and return to foundational truths. This is not at the expense of holy spirit fire and power, but with the emphasis of fear of the lord and holiness. This past chaotic season has made people’s hearts ready, and more than ready, desperate to find peace and eternal security. The Lord of the harvest hears “the harvest’s” cry for salvation. There’s urgency for “the church” to see ourselves as harvesters in our own sphere of influence, and attune our hearts to the critical call for souls and revival right now.

“So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Mathew 9:38

There is a specific anointing for this season, to reach our own spheres of influence with the simpleness of the gospel, “on daily assignments for God”. This new breed will resemble an army mobilising, and have no one leader, but carry a fire and hunger after Jesus that will attract a new breed evangelist reminiscent of ole time revivalists, and in a similar way shake the comfortable, lukewarm or complacent strongholds that have inadvertently effected our hearts.

I HEARD THE LORD SAY, “THERE’S A NEW SALVATION ARMY” ARISING
As I ministered in a tent revival in California recently as hungry, desperate people gathered in God’s presence, I clearly heard the Lord say, “there’s a new SALVATION army” arising. The emphasis was on SALVATION. This “army-like new breed” will burn for SOULS. A modern SALVATION movement that is fearless in it’s pursuit to mobilise mass salvation. They will carry unapologetic faith, shameless boldness, radical love, uncontained fire, and resolute courage.

THE MANTLE WILLIAM AND CATHERINE BOOTH WALKED IN ECHOS STILL
Revival fire, reformation grit and the ole time call of the power of the “blood and fire” that William and Catherine Booth carried in the late 1800’s will mark a new breed for a new era of awakening.  Jesus will be on the lips and hearts of the remnant church in ways that is contagious, and it will give this “Salvation” army-like movement courage to actively engage in current justice and righteousness issues, whilst boldly going after souls, reminiscent of the Booths in their era. This “army” is already mobilising in the hearts of many, but it will increase in number and momentum, and see mass souls saved.

The war cry of the Booths echo’s still. This army-like mobilisation of a people will be marked by resurrection power, persevering faith, radical obedience to God and burning to see SALVATION of people and nations, even if it means sacrifice. They will carry joy despite the hour and see notable signs, wonders and miracles that touch weary hearts and desperate people inside the “church” and outside our walls. Just like the revivalists of old, cities will be stirred, media attention gained, and they will provoke the “church” to passion for Jesus and to remember how desperately people need salvation.

THE WAY WE SEE THE HARVEST IS CHANGING
“Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, because they are ready for harvest.” John 4:35

God is redefining how we “see” the harvest, and harvesters. The church is called to the harvest, not exclusively evangelists. The entire church is a harvester of souls.  Christians are called to the harvest, not just evangelists. And Jesus, in John 4:35 is pleading with the church to LOOK and SEE that people are ready for what we carry. John 4:35 is being emphasised in this season more than ever. “LOOK AGAIN” I hear the spirit saying. People we have said are hard to reach, are instead ready and desperate. Our own family, sphere of influence and people God is sending us to are DESPERATE for hope in God and eternal security. God is reminding the church that our mission is souls, and that the eternal destiny of real people MUST compel us to share God’s love in our lives. Evangelism is not the exclusive responsibility of the “evangelist”.  If you are a christian, then God is inviting us to see the harvest through His eyes.… desperate to know they are loved, have a purpose and don’t have to be scared and alone in this season.

AN ARMY OF WOMEN
Many of those arising will be ones that surprise us, prepared in hidden places, and many will be fierce warrior women! These women will redefine to a generation what gospel combat can look like on women. A roar that charges the women revivalist/evangelists is being trumpeted out of heaven. A army of women gospel-warriors is arising.

A VISION OF ANGELS WRITING DOWN NAMES AND THE “COSTLY YES”
I recently had a vision and clearly saw angels suddenly “drop” into a tent as I was about to minister in California with Saturate OC. I could clearly see, with my eyes open, angels stationed around the tent, with what looked like a clipboard and pen, at the ready. I was overcome as I understood they were sent to record the names of those willing to give their “costly yes” to serve Jesus in this urgent hour, even if it came with a cost.

I was aware, God is remembering those who give their “costly yes” for the gospel and His purposes on the earth, even at great cost. This army of the Lord was precious to Him.

Revival harvest, resurrection power and glory was being given to a people to steward who would give their “costly yes”, “sign up” and mean it. Harvest angels were being released to the harvest, and the harvesters. This vision was not a frivolous moment. It was a holy call that the Lord was watching over His harvest and urgently calling in His harvesters.

God is searching our hearts and looking for a people who will not shrink back, turn back or quit when it’s challenging, but with display resolute courage to advance “into the ripe harvest”.

MOMENTUM FOR REVIVAL AND SOULS
Revival and evangelism training schools and events will increase. Souls souls souls will come into the kingdom in numbers that will surprise and encourage many. A trickle, then a steady flow, then ike a river. It’s time to think of those around us as “ready” and re-learn what sharing the gospel looks like for us personally.  We must prepare our hearts, and our churches to expect salvations and people who are desperate for real resurrection-power in God. Our every-day life has become the front foyer of the church as we are “sent out” on God assignments to our daily sphere of influence. The cost will be real, but the unprecedented fruit of harvest will equally be real. God is resurrecting a NEW SALVATION army-like response with a unique, effective anointing for exactly what is going on around us. People are desperate for God.

“SENT” TO YOUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE in 2021

John 20:21
“So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

Like no other recent season, we are “sent” into our own sphere of influence, anointed and appointed to be ourselves, and to preach the good news to those in their daily lives. YOU ARE ANOINTED AND SENT INTO 2021.

REVIVAL COSTS BUT THEIR ARE THOSE WHO WILL LAY THEIR LIVES DOWN
Even as I write this word and encounter I again I feel fear of the Lord over it. The call to purity and surrender is not a call to perfection. Holiness is about consecration of heart, not legalistic perfection, and being set apart to fulfil the unique call on our lives. This company arising, marked by the urgency of the harvest and a heart for SALVATION, will resemble an army on mission. They will equally be known for how they radically love Jesus and people, and quickly do what He asks.

QUICK OBEDIENCE IS KEY

JOHN 20:21
“As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

The Lord is graciously showing us that an “army” obeys quickly. As we are “sent” on God assignments into our lives to release the simpleness of the gospel, quick obedience will be key.

TIME SENSITIVE GOD ASSIGNMENTS
Of course it is true that it is always a good time, and always our mandate, to preach the gospel. However, there are kairos “windows” of opportunity and seasons in the Lord. THE HARVEST IS RIPE NOW AND THERE IS A WINDOW OPEN TO SEE MASSES OF SOULS SAVED THAT MUST BE RECOGNISED AND SIEZED.  

When God is emphasising the fields are ripe, and saying, “they are white for harvest” (John 4:35), He is highlighting the urgency to “GO” to people in our lives, be flexible and sensitive to his Spirit, and reap the harvest in front of us because they are ready right now! Sometimes (often) things God asks of us are required, “now”, and not later. The fresh wind blowing for salvation requires a sensitivity to the spirit that enables us to be first responders in peoples lives and situations. We cannot miss this open-window moment because of distractions.

The Lord of the Harvest sees the readied, desperate, scared hearts of the nations, and is stirring his church to recognise that people are not just ripe, they are desperate for security in God right NOW. The urgency of not missing this moment for SALVATION of the masses, and the one, is palpable. We are about to see incalculable souls come into the Kingdom, the only question is, will we give our “costly yes” for this season of harvest.  

We are each invited to give a “costly yes” to serve Jesus in this hour despite the challenges. You’re anointed with courage, and sent into 2021, to reap souls, and love people that are desperately awaiting salvation.
