"The time is surely coming, says the Lord, when the one who plows shall overtake the one who reaps, and the treader of grapes the one who sows the seed ..." (Amos 9:13).
Before I could preach yesterday, a man responded. Before I could offer an invitation for salvation, he rose and came forward in tears of trust to give his heart to You. Sunday morning at Gray's Chapel in North Carolina was a foretaste of the fulfillment of the time when the reapers of the harvest will overtake the sowers of the seed. For those who are hungering and thirsting for more of You, this is a season of acceleration and increase, of breakthrough and advancement, even in the midst of the trouble and turmoil around us.
Lord, I want to be part of this great harvest to come (Matthew 9:37-38). Do all You need to do in me, and in my church, and in the body of Christ to prepare the way of the Lord in our hearts to be Your laborers in this harvest of the great gathering of souls into Your Kingdom (Matthew 13:39). Heal our hearts, break our bondages, correct our thoughts, lift our burdens, and guide our steps. Let us be the body of Christ, filled with the Spirit of Christ, continuing the ministry of Christ, as You stretch out Your Father arms to a hurting, broken, and fallen world through us. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
