A New Worship Season
We have entered a new worship season in the earth. I call this, “The Season of Harvest Songs!” This is an apostolic season.
An apostolic season is where we receive our call and are sent into the fields that have been prepared for harvest. We have a mentality of celebration, work, war, and triumph all expressed through worship. The harvest is a picture of God’s judgment. Jesus used this as a metaphor to make us realize that there will come a time when He gathers those who believe. The harvest has already begun. It began when Jesus first came and now is maturing rapidly. Yet there is a “tug-of-war” in heavenly places over who will control the harvest and bring the resources into the storehouse. Luke 10:2 says, “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (NKJV)
Worship in Spirit and in Truth
Worshipping in Spirit and Truth is necessary to enter the war in the earth realm for a Kingdom Harvest. There are many fields and all are being prepared for the harvesters, the WORSHIPPERS, to enter. Storehouses are being prepared. The final theater of war will be the War of Harvest. Harvest time is when we are at the end of a season, the crops have matured, and there must be a gathering. Revelation 14:15-16 says, “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ‘Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.’ So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.”
In God’s Unfolding Battle Plan (Regal Books, 2007), I share the following: “We face a multitude of wars in various dimensions and from every front. In the next 20 years, all nations will reconcile around Israel, while some will arise to become dominant on the world scene. The United States of America will attempt to find its voice new and fresh but will not be heard as loudly as in the past. Mammon will be the greatest influencing force of rule in the world. Bloodlines will continue to conflict with other bloodlines simply because nations are comprised of people with unredeemed blood. The carnal mind will continue, as always, to be in enmity with God and resist His knowledge. Antichrist will continue to have a plan to rule the earth. However, the earth—again, as always—will still be the Lord’s and the fullness thereof!”
A Plan of Harvest
Because the Earth is the Lord’s and He has a plan of fullness, He has a plan of Harvest. Harvest is a process. The grain must be cut with a sickle. What has been cut is then gathered into sheaves and taken to the threshing floor where tools or animals are used for the threshing. The grain is winnowed and tossed into the air, where the wind separates and blows away the chaff from the heavier kernels of the harvest. The last phase of harvest is the storage finale. This occurs when the kernels are shaken in a sieve so that the harvest can be stored. The war dynamic of harvest is maturing at this time over this point of the process. We are in a shaking process. What can be shaken will be shaken. The Lord is shaking away the iniquities in our lives, corporate gatherings, cities and nations that would make us less “marketable.”
The Weight of His Glory
The key to our harvest is the weight of His glory. In the winnowing stage, the weightier kernels do not blow away. In the season ahead there will be many issues that cause us to be tossed to and fro. Without the weight of His glory resting upon us, we will be blown away and not complete the harvesting process that God has released into the earth. We can only receive this key to harvest if we learn to worship in Spirit and Truth.
Not only are we being harvested, but we are the harvesters for the future! Dr. Robert Heidler, the incredible teacher that I serve with, recently wrote me the following: “Two nights ago I had a dream. In the dream Linda had been out shopping and came home with a cardboard box. In the box was a rattlesnake. She said, ‘The Lord told me if we would bring this rattlesnake into our house and keep it there for three weeks that we would enter into a season of endless harvest.’ So we did. We put the poisonous snake in the garage and kept the door closed to make sure it couldn’t get in to the main house. We were very careful how we went into the garage because we knew we had a rattlesnake in the house. I awakened and remembered that when we were commissioned and sent, or apostolos-ed, we were given authority over serpents and scorpions. The problem is the Church has been so frightened of the world that we won’t let ourselves get anywhere near its contamination. But if we will put aside our fear and bring the world into our homes, not to become ‘of it’ but to convert and sanctify all the culture for God’s purposes, we will see that we do have authority over the power of the enemy.”
I heard the Lord say: “Some of you are resisting bringing the enemy under your feet. That’s what is keeping your next level of portion from being unlocked. The harvest is yours. Do not fear the enemy when I give you the enemy. Ask Me for your desire on your enemy. If you’ll ask Me for your desire on your enemies, what I will do is bring that enemy in and within three weeks everything that the enemy has held up, confiscated, or taken from you, I will give you. The storehouse the enemy was guarding, you will now own the key! There is a time that harvest comes! Even if your harvest season was once captured, in My plan and in My season I can cause a harvest season to come back around again. Open your eyes. Open your eyes of faith. Open your eyes of expectation! I am a God that is able to bring harvest back to you. If you are willing to seek Me, if you are willing to set your face like flint, I can bring the windows of heaven back over you so what you’ve lost, what has been walled up and stored away from your use in one season, can be released now! You can see the harvest come in and secured for this day.
Worship Me in Spirit and Truth and I can cause cities and cultures that knew Me not, to be transformed in a day. Hear My songs of Heaven. New songs break old cycles. Harvest songs are being released. Sing with Heaven and I will send hosts to assist you in the Harvest.”
Keep moving and keep us moving,
