This Is Harvest Time!

I was in total awe to have been invited to spend the afternoon on Tuesday with Rev. Oral Roberts in his living room in Southern California. Without a doubt it was one of the most life changing meetings I have ever had the opportunity to participate in. Oral Roberts is a giant in the kingdom of God and a man to be tremendously admired for his commitment to his family, and the vision of God for over 65 years of his life. The words he spoke were a prophetic message for the church today.

Rev. Roberts shared with a small group of us that God spoke clearly to him that it is time for the harvest to come to the church. The full harvest, everything that God has promised to do before the return of Jesus Christ is available to the church right now. Brother Oral opened the Word to Luke 10:1, 2 and began to share with us the revelation God gave to him just recently. To break it down very simply it adds up to this:

1. God is going to pour out a great blessing on the church both spiritually and financially.
2. We must use the increase financially to get ourselves out of debt. This will allow us to be ready to do what God will ask of us without hesitation.
3. The local church is going to be the focus of God during these last years until Jesus returns.
4. It is going to require more finances for the local church to expand to reach our local areas than ever before. These finances will be available due to the blessing of God on our congregational members.
5. Proclaim the Lord of the Harvest, not just the Lord of the seed. God is ready to give us exceedingly, abundantly; above all we can ask or think to reach the world with the good news.
6. Miracles are about to explode into the house of God. Healing and deliverance will become the normal in churches that will welcome the move of God.

There is much more that was imparted to me for our personal ministry here and I will share that as God allows me to. I am so very excited about the fact that it is time for the harvest to come to the church. I encourage you today to pray to the Lord of the harvest that every harvest you have outstanding will spring up in your life today! Let's declare harvest time at CHC. Be blessed!

“However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"—(1 Corinthians 2:9)
