There is a wake-up call, the sound of a trumpet calling for the church to come into alignment and recognize what He is doing in this season. We can’t do the same thing that we did in the past and expect change. We need to move with the Holy Spirit. There is a harvest out there that is great, but the laborers are few. The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4 -5 that he wasn’t preaching with human wisdom to persuade people, but he was demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s time for the world changers to come forth.
Although there are wars, rumors of war, and turmoil around the world, we are also witnessing a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in many churches and ministries. People are getting saved, healed, delivered, and refined as the fire of God has been transforming lives. The Lord is pouring out His Spirit upon a dry and thirsty land and pouring His oil from heaven on those who are parched and stagnant. We are on the verge of an outpouring that the world has never experienced, but believers have to put their hand to the plow and not turn back.
I went for a test in New York City recently and had to wait a while for my ride back to Staten Island. As I sat there, I was watching the people walking by. Many of them seemed to be wandering aimlessly. There were people from all walks of life, from the rich to the poor. Many of them appeared to be lost and without hope. There were teenagers as well as pre-teens that were high and homeless people who were drunk. I saw a mother pulling her young daughter by the arm and cursing her out for not walking fast enough.
Another area in New York City is Times Square, which is considered the heart of New York. This famous landmark is filled with Neon lights and billboards, restaurants and pubs, with many theaters and museums. It is also known for its drugs and crime. Wikipedia says that Times Square alone attracts about 330,000 people each day and 460,000 on its busiest days. I thought to myself, there is a great harvest out there, but believers are not doing what they are called to do. Where are the evangelists? What are the pastors teaching their congregations?
So many of those people in the streets have callings on their lives. Many of them are called to be world changers and history makers. This is where the great harvest is going to begin. Could you imagine if all those people got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit? The Lord has created each one of them as well as each one of us to be authentic, not clones. Jesus has a purpose and a plan for every person that He has created. Each one is unique and diverse in their style, but all are precious in the Lord’s sight.
The Lord is saying: Who will go? Who will say, “Lord, send me.” There are so many mantles lying dormant, waiting for someone to pick them up. There are doctors, lawyers, pastors, and prophets who have not discovered their callings and identity. The Lord is looking for someone to help others to discover their purpose for their lives. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.
Psalms 92:10 (TPT)
Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empowered my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Matthew 9:36-38
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were [j]weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
