Isaiah 41:15 says, “I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth.” The word teeth in the Hebrew is the word mouths. Our mouths are designed by God to be mighty combines—huge threshing machines that go into the field and bring in the harvest. Gloria said something else during the broadcast concerning the difference between a natural harvest and a spiritual harvest. She said that a natural harvest is seasonal. It all depends on the weather cycle. A spiritual harvest, on the other hand, is continual. A spiritual harvest does not depend on the weather or the economy. It’s year-round! The kingdom of God is always on the increase in spite of contrary conditions. Read Jeremiah 17:7-8: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” We can actually come to a place in our lives where we are reaping all the time. “‘The time will come,’ says the LORD, ‘when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested’” (Amos 9:13, New Living Translation). Think Harvest! Consider what Brother Copeland said several years ago in an article he wrote, titled “Get Your Mind on the Harvest.” He said, “If you haven’t thought of yourself as a harvester before now, start thinking of yourself that way. Renew your mind to the truth of God’s WORD. Dare to believe The LORD of the Harvest is calling you—yes, you—to help Him bring in His end-time crops. He’s speaking to you and saying, Until now, you’ve known Me as The LORD over your seed. You’ve known Me as your Bread Provider. But, I want you to know Me now as LORD and Minister of the Harvest.” Harvester, don’t wait one more minute. Open your mouth—your spiritual combine—and call in your harvest. As Joel 3:13 says, “Swing the sickle—the harvest is ready” (The Message). Praise God! We are not just good givers. We are good reapers. And, together, we are getting real good at reaping!

Did you, like many others, make New Year’s resolutions with every intention of seeing great change in your life? Or are you still trying to decide what kind of year you want this to be? If so, I have a suggestion for you: Why don’t you stir up your faith and believe God for this to be a turnaround year—a year when everything in your life that’s not right gets turned around to be right! You can have that kind of year, you know. No matter how impossible it might appear to be right now, no matter how massive the problems you’re facing might seem, with God all things are possible. He is a big God and He is well able to work miracles in your life this year. BVOV : 17
